Special Tantric Training Techniques

If you are ready to take your Tantric practice to another level, try these special Tantric training techniques.

Force, as it is said in most TANTRIC texts, comes out from deep knowledge, which, in its turn proceeds from direct experience. Therefore, it is necessary to begin with the simplest techniques, and then go on gradually to the most intricate ones.

Some of the training techniques appear very simple in the beginning, but they should not be passed over superficially. Each part of the Tantric techniques presented here should be performed exactly as described, in all details, even if some of them may appear unnecessary, or even not entirely “logical”. The rhythm of a person’s individual evolution largely depends on the ardour and perseverance in the training. Thus, some will reach faster the supreme capacity of transmuting entirely their erotic energy in psihomental force, reaching thus superior states of consciousness, extraordinary capacities (SIDDHI-s), and much improved accomplishments in the field of the daily life.

More Exercises for Awakening and Controlling Sexual Energy

One of the goals of Tantric practice is to awaken and control sexual energy. The following pelvic exercises can help to achieve that aim.

PELVIC EXERCISES
In order for your sexual energy to go upwards along your spine through the energetic channels (nadis), it is compulsory that these nadis are not “strangled”, and especially not in the pelvic area.

The causes for this blockage may be physical (for instance caused by a wrong diet), psycho-emotional (for instance shyness and inhibitions), or mental (preconceived ideas).

Although these causes are various, there is one fundamental factor that causes the blockage of the energy in the genital area, and that is stress.

The following exercises will help you relax the muscles of the pelvis, thighs, hips, and buttocks. Read more

Tantric Breathing Techniques for Sex When You Want to Spice Things Up

Spicing things up in the bedroom can be as simple as taking a deep breath, according to Annakeara Stinson.

Have you ever been in the middle of having sex and you cannot, for the life of you, get out of your own head?

Or maybe you feel really self-conscious, or upset, or disconnected? Or even like, kind of numb?

But, in my experience, one of the most transformative and helpful tactics toward becoming more present during sex actually involves something you're probably doing right at this very moment. Read more

Learning to breathe consciously and with awareness is the fourth limb of yoga, and it can be a valuable tool in helping to restore balance in the mind and body.
