Tantric beginnings…

Something deep inside me stirred when I first heard about Tantra. Something ancient, something
known yet unknown. It was many years after I first heard about it that I actually started to explore
what it was. I bought a couple of books, read a bit, tried to get a couple of boyfriends to try things out
with me. Mostly it remained a mystery.

A few years ago I was at a festival and heard that someone was running a two-hour ‘Intro to Tantra’
workshop. As I meandered across the field to the tent where the workshop was being held, I noticed
people running past me, quickly – lots of them. Suddenly I realised that they were all heading towards
this workshop. Two eye-opening hours later, every single person in the workshop was high on love
and feeling great! I saw these people, the looks on their faces and looked at the teacher. I knew right
there and then that I was destined to walk a similar path.

My journey through tantra, kink and other forms of sacred sexuality over the following years has
been amazing, beautiful, terrifying, and truly life changing.  I’ve learned to connect my spirituality to
my heart and my sexuality. I’ve learned to be vulnerable, open and present. I’ve laughed, cried,
shouted, bashed cushions and danced naked in the rain. I’ve seen beautiful souls travelling into the
depths of their being and allowed them to see me.

It is impossible to fully capture the essence of Tantra with words alone. It is at once a mystical,
spiritual path, a practical science and a way of life. Tantra teaches us tools for transformation, how
to recognise ourselves as the unconditional love that we are and how to turn our everyday lives into
experiences of divinity.

One aspect of tantra is that it seeks to unite the masculine and feminine energies within each of us
as a path to union with the divine. Often in the west this is mistaken for meaning that it must be
practised between a man and a woman. This is absolutely not true! Tantric techniques and methods
can be done as internal practices with the self, or externally with a partner of any gender.

One of the most important things I’ve learned through tantra is how to be present. Most of the time
we are taught how to distract ourselves rather than how to engage in the moment. Learning to bring
your awareness into every moment will help you to experience more pleasure and bliss than you
ever knew possible in every area of your life including your relationships, intimacy and sexuality.
