Tantric Relationship: A Divine Union of Sacred Partnership

Tantra teacher Luminessa Enjara explains how embracing a Tantric relationship will enable your life to become a sacred partnership with all things.

"Sharing the Divine Union with a partner can be as easy as energy flowing on the path of least resistance, and it is immensely entertaining. But make no mistake, it can also be the hardest thing you ever had to face! It all depends on who the lovers are, and what consciousness and intention each brings to the moment of Divine Union". (Lokita Carter, Institute of Ecstatic Living).

A Tantric relationship is one where there is a divine union and perfect balance of the masculine and feminine energies within your self and with your partner. Energy is represented by the female divine power, Shakti and Consciousness is represented by the male divine power, Shiva. The dance between Shiva and Shakti never ends, there is a constant flowing of this energy from one to the other, a giving and a receiving of this energy. In the ancient myth of India, the marriage of Shiva and Shakti is considered to be Divine Union, a fundamental concept of Tantra. Read more

Divine Union in Tantric Relationship

Tantra teacher Lokita Carter discusses how Tantric relationships can be a path to ecstatic living.

At the moment of merging the bodies and souls together into the orgasmic flow, our gates open to a new dimension and we reach a state of altered consciousness. For me and my partner, this is a spiritual experience. Thus I have found Tantra with my partner to be the easiest, the hardest and most sacred form of spiritual practice. Ultimately, Tantric practices give me the opportunity for more love, better sex and practical spirituality.

Tantra mythology suggests that union is achieved by merging our male and female principles—pure consciousness and pure energy. Energy is represented by the female divine power, Shakti. Consciousness is represented by the male divine power, Shiva. In the ancient myth of India, the marriage of Shiva and Shakti is considered to be Divine Union, a fundamental concept of Tantra.
