Tantra
Genuine knowledge about the ancient tradition of tantra is very rare today. Many people have an opinion about tantra – but very few know what tantra actually is! Thus there are many misunderstandings about Tantra, the most common one being that it is just a set of erotic exercises.
Tantra is a revolutionary approach to life that offers you the chance to live life with intensity and consciousness. With tantra you go through life by saying “yes”.
Tantra is the science of inclusion and acceptance. The reason why tantra in contemporary times is known mainly as a tool for improving the erotic life is that we today are having big difficulties accepting and including sexuality. Therefore we go from one extreme to the other. From frigidity to perversity. Tantra discovers the middle way – both in sexuality and in life itself.
Yoga and Tantra form the Indian spiritual tradition, a foundation deeply connected to universal philosophies. Much has been written and discussed regarding these studies, but due to their profoundness and hidden symbolism they remain opaque. A secret throughout the centuries, Tantra remains diffuse, mysterious and puzzling yet constantly present in the diversity of yoga techniques, especially in its Tibetan forms. With purposeful investigation, it presents a genuine science of man where cosmic forces mingle with physiology, psychology, magic and spiritualism. Tantra offers a practical, multi-leveled vision of the human being, a unified theory that explains the most intimate aspects of man's behavior which have evaded current research. A detailed, sincere study and practice of Tantra would contribute to the enrichment of contemporary science and psychology in a manner not as yet conceived. Tantrism recognizes in Kundalini the source of a mysterious energy - an energy still not properly defined by modern science but of paramount importance for a complete spiritual emancipation. In Tantra, sexual union is one of the possibilities offered to man and woman to concentrate and direct the consciousness's activity toward the Supreme Being. Due to the enormous intensity of this union, the consciousness of both partners develops and fuses, at the beginning between themselves and later with the Cosmic Consciousness. The indescribable beatitude then felt embraces all things and beings. All that still subsists is a never-ending thirst for unity, only a Lover and a Loved-one.
Tantra is a genuine and exceptional form of yoga which puts sexuality in its right place, recreating the missing spiritual dimension of the sexual experience. This practice expands the human consciousness to the greatest extent and considerably enriches the knowledge of Man and the Universe. At the same time, through the surprising links established among apparently heterogenous phenomena and scientific facts, Tantra opens the road toward infinite horizons, where many extraordinary discoveries wait for the tireless practitioner.

Aphorisms and thoughts about the androgynal state, about happiness in couples and about sexual continence®
by yoga professor Gregorian Bivolaru copyright www.yogaesoteric.net
1. An intense, profound, endless love, which is doubled by powerful, lasting erotic aspirations, accepts transformation and variations. In such a situation, each of the two members of the group is at the same time a half of the whole, that the two create, but at the same time, each of them is a distinct micro universe, whose aspirations, dispositions, beneficial availability and sublime manifestations enrich the relation and does not compete it. Thus, lovemaking becomes more and more powerful and reach, being transformed.
2. Within a harmonious happy couple where the two lovers mutually endlessly adore, the lovemaking based on perfect continence, transfiguration and consecration of the fruits, acts in a synergic way and triggers an overwhelming, yet extraordinary state of paranormal empathy between the two lovers. Within common couples, that don’t reach such climax of profoundness, the extremely extraordinary state of spiritual and soul communion and the state of profound empathy is vaguely inferred and there comes the frustrating impression that the two lovers often lack words in order to express what they experience or infer. For example, such couples are often obliged to notice that they look for common words in order to express their joy or happiness.
That is why, such couples have the impression that they fail when trying to describe one another the spiritual experiences that they have. The obvious inadequate use of words and the intuition of the fact that, in reality, the experiences are more ample, may be balanced when (eventually) such human beings discover transfigured lovemaking, consecration of the fruits to God and the perfect continence, which reveals the profound euphoric, enigmatic and unexpected dimensions of paranormal empathy, that establish between them surprisingly easy.
When experienced for the first time, this unutterable delicious experience shows, at the same time, the unexpected value and the divine valence of the lovemaking based on transfiguration, mutual love, continence and consecration of the fruits to God the father.

Written by Diana Daffner – Diana Daffner leads Intimacy Retreats for couples and is the author of “Tantric Sex for Busy Couples: How to Deepen Your Passion in Just Ten … copyright Healthy Sex Life
In the beginning, when love is new, romance, courting and conquest are aphrodisiacs, stimulants that increase our appetite for sexual union. Eventually the chase ends, hearts are won, and lifetime pledges are made. The happy couple says “I do,” strolls off into the sunset together, destined to be lovers forever.
So what happens? The newness fades, the passion flees. Where does it go? Does it get mortgaged along with the house? Disposed with the diapers? Years ago, Mary, age 49, shyly told her family doctor that she had lost interest in having sex with her husband. She was told this was a natural event, that women eventually lose interest and that’s the way it is. For some women, she was told, it comes earlier. Today, Mary might be offered testosterone patches to fire up her lagging libido!

by yoga professors Adina and Mihai Stoian
The discovery of the Self is a fascinating adventure, a journey full of experiences which you can make either alone or not… But in the couple the spiritual transformations are much faster and more efficient. And, as we all look for accomplishment through love, it is more natural to step towards the peaks of perfection together with the beloved being.
Love is the divine gift for which we must be profoundly grateful. It is the key that opens for us the gate towards the Absolute, the magical catalyst of any beneficial becoming. For instance, anyone who has practiced meditation for a longer period of time, knows how difficult it is to experience spiritual states with an agitated, full of thoughts and stressful mind. But when we fall in love, this gate towards the Absolute opens with an extraordinary easiness; because love is a very clever way of tricking the ego.
The happiness of the other one spontaneously comes above one’s own happiness, and the other one’s wishes come above one’s own wishes. Love makes us open and generous, and the empathic quest of the other one’s soul will bring us closer to our own soul.

Love is a subject as vast as it is fascinating and mysterious. What could be more delightful in life than the broad and deep experience of this euphoric and ravishing feeling, that we call love? Love makes us expand from finite to infinite and it takes us off the loneliness of our beings. The delicious and overwhelming experience of falling in love makes us float with happiness and feel in the seventh heaven. Our love reservoirs are filled up to the maximum and the transfiguration of our beloved is exemplary. Why should we not always remain in this state of grace? To achieve this, however, we need a lot of attention and dedication and it is very important for us to know the way how we should manifest our love towards our beloved, for he or she can understand and feel it, on his/her own language, and he/she can always feel loved and appreciated in our relationship.

This article is based on a lecture which was kept by Martin and Celestine in the International Yoga Congress 2010, which took place on 13-17 of October in Bucharest, Romania. On that event there were kept dozens of lectures and workshops by yoga teachers from all over the world. Among the participating teachers there was made a friendly contest for the best lecture. This lecture by Marin and Celestine won the 3rd place of all the lectures.
We will share our personal experience as a couple, upon tantric lovemaking, sexual continence and polarity as a method for spiritual growth, methods to transform the couple relationship into a spiritual engine through polarity and sexual continence, notions on the differences between men and women, and the game of polarity from a spiritual point of view.

The Sexually Continent Couple, the school for a life fulfilled through transfigurative love
by yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru
In order to achieve harmony within a couple which practices sexual continence, it is very important to reflect profoundly and as detachedly as possible upon our previous amorous experiences, and by comparing these experiences with the wonderful present situation we become conscious of the great advantages which we notice in the present.
Through lucid analysis we will become liberated from all the aberrant family chains which have limited us in the form of silly prejudices in our amorous past, and as a result of this we will become increasingly conscious of our amorous behavior, enabling us to successfully control the inner mechanisms of psycho-mental protection and idealization, in order to create authentic communion together with our beloved one whom we empathetically feel on all the levels. This will also help us understand, together with our beloved, the predominant differences (the specific masculine and feminine characteristics). The permanent and complete openness towards Tolerance, Transfiguration of the beloved, Communion with the subtle beneficial energies of the Macrocosm, Revelation of the Sacred Dimension of Love, and sublime and Unconditional Love, all of these are the first fruits of this deeply spiritual masterpiece, which trigger a state of overwhelming happiness within us. |

Many Tantric and Taoist texts speak about the control of ejaculation. The first image that they usually awaken in the reader is that of a tap that is turned off or of a perineal and genital contraction with the goal of retaining the energy. |
