Discovering Tantra
This week, Amerai Carreratantra facilitator and collaborating therapist of the Center for psychology, coaching and personal growth Mensaluspresents Tantra as a path of personal growth that goes beyond sexual practice.
What doors does the art of Tantra open for us?
Tantra is an integral and holistic path that helps us to bring our attention to our inner selves instead of getting lost in what is going on around us.
This interesting practice helps us to move and channel our own energy, awakening consciousness, in order to become more balanced, present and able to integrate any experience as part of our experience. Tantrics seek happiness, harmony and liberation through daily spiritual practice..
This meditative practice helps us to find peace and disidentification of the ego, leaving behind old patterns, healing wounds, unblocking the body and freeing the mind from those beliefs that limit us. We use sexuality beyond enjoyment, our own pleasure and the pleasure of the other. Sex develops deep facets of affectivity and personality awareness.
Learning the art of transmuting sexual energy requires mental openness and breaking with what we have learned or been taught so far. It is not an easy job, but the reward is certainly worth it.
Does this holistic path only relate to sex?
Not really.. It is true that most people use this term to refer to sex-related activity, but Tantra goes far beyond that. However, it is true that it is a path of surrender and that, unlike other spiritual paths, it does not renounce sexuality.
What is the role of sexuality in Tantra?
Sexuality is very important in our life: it is a motor and a source of energy.. We can live it as something boring, routine and empty, or we can experience it as something natural, beautiful and creative. From Tantra we consider it as a practice that drives us to evolve and celebrate life in a state of fullness and joy. In short, all this work gives us a greater knowledge of ourselves and gives us greater awareness to live in freedom and grow in love.
So, can we say that Tantra is a tool that facilitates personal growth? can we say that Tantra is a tool that facilitates personal growth? Actually, it is much more than a tool. The way of Tantra is a path of unlimited growth, a deep and constant awareness of the here and now. Tantra proposes as a challenge to be the spectator of your daily movie and, at the same time, the director of it. With Tantra we understand that it is more important the "how" than the "what" of the things we do and live.
To whom are your Tantra workshops directed?
The Institut Mensalus workshop is aimed at men and women who are in search of greater mental, emotional, energetic and physical balance.
People who want to learn to feel, love, meditate and transmute sexual energy. In our sessions we discover that, in the context of relationships, sexuality and joy are portals to spiritual awakening and the expression of love. Many may ask, "That's it, does the sex stop here? Well.
In the workshop we learn the secrets of conscious love that enriches sexuality and relationships, thus offering an answer to the emptiness of love.and relationships, thus offering an answer to this emptiness. In short, attendees discover the art of Tantra through a journey into the depths of their heart, feeling and putting more presence in every act of their life, transforming the sexual act into a constant gesture of love and gratitude.
What would you say to all those people who are reading this interview?
I would ask them the same question I asked the workshop participants: how much time a day do you have for yourself? How much time a week do you have for your relationship with your partner? The answer is a starting point for deciding if it is time to look for new tools to facilitate both connections.
When one begins to invest time and energy in self-discovery and in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self-empowerment, it is when, little by little, is able to feel and understand what and where true love is and where it is to be found.. Finally, I would like to remind you that sexual energy is creative energy, it is transformative, healing, liberating and does not have to be only located or focused in the genital area.
If we stop to think, the origin of our existence is born from this wonderful energy. So, why is there so little interest or education in learning to manage and channel it properly? From the art of Tantra we learn, without a doubt, to take advantage of it as it deserves.
