For the presence of the feeling of love, a strong physiological basis
is necessary. Every thought in our head and every feeling must have its
physical support in the body. If we are weak, ill, under stress, and
nervous, we are not able to love. Then we think only about ourselves,
about satisfying our own needs and the attention we require of our
environment. We are able to love only when we feel healthy, strong,
full, self-assured, and our basic needs are satisfied. Then we are able
to give and to accept others. Love is the ability to accept the
opposite.
Classic sex, as it is practiced in the West, weakens the
physiological basis for love. After ejaculation the man loses interest
in the woman. It's because of the cessation of the erotic charge,
induced by the presence of a high level of sexual hormones in the body.
By repeating sexual intercourse over a longer period, the sexual
interest of a person grows weaker and weaker. When, in the conversation,
I used to ask my clients about the quality of their sexual intercourse,
most often the answer would be: "Oh, before getting married, it was
great!" After 10 - 15 years of marriage, sexual intercourse with
the spouse usually stops being interesting. It becomes a matrimonial
duty. People remain in marriage not because of mutual love, but because
of children, or for economic reasons. With the lapse of years, love has
literally flown out. The man, at least subconsciously, feels constantly
exhausted by sexual intercourse with his wife. The woman, for her part,
feels that she doesn't experience that fullness she could have in the
intercourse if only her man would know how to make it possible for her.
In this way, dissatisfaction between partners keeps on growing. Due to
lack of insight into the real cause, and the lack of knowledge that sex
can be different, the dissatisfaction is being justified by thousands of
other everyday trifles. The real cause of dissatisfaction is absence of
bliss consciousness.
Tantric sex strengthens the physiological basis for love. Since the
man doesn't lose energy by sexual intercourse and doesn't become
exhausted, his erotic charge towards his partner grows stronger and
stronger. After finishing intercourse, the partner is still extremely
interesting and attractive. Since the man accumulates more and more
energy in every intercourse, his erotic charge also grows. That means
that his interest and love for his partner also grows. The woman, for
her part, achieves much more fulfilling experiences of orgasm in Tantra
intercourse. She feels completely fulfilled and satisfied, and this
satisfaction extends into everyday life. Since her partner is the one
who makes this ecstasy possible for her, her respect and love for that
man grows. In this way, the love relationship of the Tantra couple grows
stronger and deeper with the lapse of time. The basis for this love is a
constant common growth. Constant common broadening of awareness.
Constant common deepening of ecstasy which expands into everyday life,
and whose basis is common strengthening of physiology. When
consciousness is pervaded by ecstasy, everyday events don't cause
problems any more. Common life flows in harmony. The fastest possible
growth and development of man's full potential is enabled.
When someone has acquired the skill of managing the energies of
Tantric sex, and is stable in it, they can achieve ecstasy with every
partner, it doesn't matter if the partner practices Tantra or doesn't
know about it at all.
In the beginning though, when someone is just learning how to govern
these energies, there is an enormous advantage in having the
co-operation of a partner. Without this co-operation it will be very
difficult to master sexual reactions and redirect the energies up. It is
ideal if we have a constant partner who understands us completely and is
ready to support us, and wants to develop together with us.
There is one difference in the ability of man and woman to reach
ecstasy with an unskilled partner. This difference results from the
woman's far greater sexual potential and her quality of receptivity.
Even a woman who is not instructed in Tantra is capable of enjoying
intercourse for a long time, to accept a man and to conduct powerful
energies if they develop.
The man, trained in Tantra, will, without great difficulty, realize
the usual state of ecstasy with almost every partner. But, since an
unskilled man will not be able to bear strong excitations, he will
probably ejaculate too soon, which means that a woman trained in Tantra
will not easily find a partner who can satisfy her. And this means that
she must be very skillful, attentive and patient, in order to enable her
untrained partner to follow her on her way to ecstasy. The woman is
spontaneously able to develop through her feelings and sexuality. The
man still has to develop this capacity.
First, it's not necessary to practice Tantra exclusively over any
other self-development method. If you want an intense personal
development and development of consciousness thorough Tantra, pay
attention also to a regular diet, physical exercise, a healthy daily
routine and so on. You should also practice some form of meditation and
breathing exercises.
Sexuality is another aspect of life that can be refined, and by means
of which we can come closer to the Self. There is no reason to neglect
it because we already practice some other self-development method. Or,
just the interest in self-improvement, expressed by practicing other
methods, can also be the reason to integrate our own sexuality into our
own personal growth.
Concerning breathing practices, I recommend Re birthing and Cobra
Breath. Out of many different meditation forms, the practice of
Transcendental meditation, since it is scientifically the most verified,
and owing to its simplicity and to the fact that it's not burdened by
dogmatism, is the most acceptable for the greatest number of people.
Transcendental meditation is really a very natural technique, easy to
learn and requiring no effort. Experiences of calming the mind and
expanding the awareness, to which TM leads us, are innate to all of us
and extremely pleasant.
The man, who meditates regularly, gradually comes into contact with
his own nature. However, there appears to be a problem that doesn't have
much to do with meditation, but more with the orientation of Western
man. An enormous number of people learn to meditate, and are satisfied
with the results, but after a short time, they stop the practice.
The reason for the cessation is not that meditation doesn't work, but
that they are too busy with other activities, and that they have no
time! Western man simply has not developed the habit of sitting with
eyes closed and being absorbed in himself. Meditation is excellent, if
we take the time and practice it! But how do we get a Western man to sit
quietly twice a day, doing nothing? Most people don't find that
attractive at all.
But sex is something we are all already engaged in, more or less
actively. There is not a single cell in our body that is not sexual by
its nature. A natural instinct guides the sexual activity. If it is not
blocked by social norms, it is being expressed spontaneously and
effortlessly, and it is extremely pleasant.
So, it is simply necessary to teach people how to draw the maximum
out of that, in which they are already engaged. Man naturally aspires to
pleasure. He can be taught how to maximally intensify that pleasure. The
climax of pleasure is bliss, and bliss is the essence of life. Through
intensifying pleasure to its extreme value, we touch the infinite value
of life. By repeating this experience we begin to live in the incessant
ecstasy of our essential nature.
It's true that a lot of time has lapsed, during which we have let our
sexual energy empty out and down. We experienced sexual charge as a
tension, and the habit is created to free it by ejaculating. In the same
way as we, in order to meditate, should restrain our habit of moving our
attention outwards and turn it inwards, so with Tantric exercises we
redirect the movement of the sexual energy. But while meditation is, for
the majority of people in our culture, a completely new type of
behavior, making love is a common thing.
That's why I believe that personal growth thorough sex is more
acceptable and more attractive. A certain persistence and patience are
necessary in order to fully master sexual energies in Tantra, but since
we perform this practice using a way we already enjoy, it's easier to
continue in the practice.
Ejaculation and man's orgasm are not the same thing. Research shows
that more than 60, and maybe more than 80 percent of women don't
experience orgasms. Still, it seems that nobody is researching the
percentage of men who never experience orgasm in sexual intercourse. Or,
in what percentage of intercourse do men experience it. It would
probably be found that most men simply have a feeling of the release of
tension and don't feel any ecstatic experience that might follow the
ejaculation. So, ejaculation is a physical experience, while orgasm is
experienced on an energy level. They are different phenomena and can be
experienced independently from each other. This is also shown by men who
sometimes experience orgasm by ejaculation, and sometimes not. It is
possible to experience orgasm also without ejaculation.
In Tantric sex the woman has great advantages from the very
beginning. Relaxation and surrendering are necessary for the expansion
of consciousness and a free energy rise. Women already have a great deal
of this quality of surrender, and most cultures emphasize it even more.
Also, from the very beginning of the Tantric exercises, the woman can
relax completely. She doesn't have to control anything. She only
conducts the awakened energies. For this conducting, it is enough to
relax and surrender. That's why, as soon as man's energy charge rises
higher, the woman induces a correspondent charge, and she easily has
strong ecstatic experiences.
In the beginning stages of the Tantric practice, a man is in a
somewhat worse position. For a long time, the habit is to waste energy,
to let it go down and out. This habit is ingrained in the whole
mechanism of the physiology. Tantra requires the removal of this habit
and the habituation of the psycho physiological system to conduct the
energy inside and up. It requires certain training. It requires control
and discipline. It is, in a way, contrary to the relaxation that helps
the expansion of consciousness, but it is necessary in order to overcome
the old habit.
Simultaneously with the overcoming of the habit of a downward energy
course, there is also a process of purification of energy channels in
the body that enable an undisturbed upward moving of energy. When the
old habit has been overcome, the energy channels purified enough, and
the habit of rising energy created, control is no longer necessary. Then
the man can also relax and surrender to the flows of energy. These free
energy flows in the state of relaxation will then initiate in him the
experiences of orgasm without ejaculation. But this orgasm is not just a
short blissful experience. It can last much longer. With practice and
purification of the energy channels, duration of that orgasm can be
extended to infinity. Finally, this free energy flow and the ecstasy
caused by it should be continually present in everyday life, twenty-four
hours a day.
The range of the natural is much broader than the range of the
habitual. The possibilities of the human body and of the human nervous
system are much larger than we usually utilize. Psychological researches
show that an average person uses only two to three percent of his mental
potential. Is that natural? Most people are not able to run a one mile
distance without stopping, but every athlete can do it. What is natural?
An athlete simply uses potentials of the human body that most people
don't.
If a child grows up in the wilderness among animals, it is not able
to speak, nor can it read or write. Still, in most cultures, literacy is
a common thing. But it is gained only in the environment of human
culture. Is then literacy something unnatural? Evidently, human culture
stimulates the expression for some human capabilities that couldn't be
developed outside this culture. But we can't call these capabilities
unnatural.
It is same with Tantric culture. It offers certain knowledge about
the functioning of our physiology. By applying that knowledge we change
the functioning of our body. But it is still within the range of
activity of our own body, within the range of nature's activity. What
can be out of the realm of the natural? By applying Tantric techniques
we discover the capabilities of the body, which are usually not being
utilized. Thereby we expand the range of using our natural abilities.
Instead of continuing to use only two to three percent of our
potentials, we expand it in the direction of 100 percent. The multitude
of phenomena that we experience today in our culture as common would
have been, in the last century, regarded as unnatural. Tantric skills
affect the natural behavior of our body, like any knowledge offered by
cultures different from ours.
Among Tantric techniques we have those which enable the control of
conception on the part of the man, and those applied by the woman. The
man can, with practice, develop the ability to ejaculate or not as he
wishes. So, this process ceases to be an automatic reaction of the body.
The man can choose the time of ejaculation, or he can choose not to
ejaculate at all. The same applies to ejection of seminal liquid before
the real ejaculation. A trained man is a hundred percent reliable.
Woman can also control conception. It is made possible by exercises
that give control over the process of ovulation. If she doesn't want a
pregnancy, the woman can prevent the unnecessary creation of the ovum.
The woman can, according to her wishes, postpone the ovulation until the
time she wants to conceive. In this way enormous energy is being saved.
Complete mastery over this method requires a longer period of time. When
the woman has once gained control over ovulation, this contraceptive
method is completely reliable. Such an approach to one's own physiology
can, in the beginning, be foreign to many women. We are used to thinking
that regular ovulation and menstruation are a sign of good health.
Willing interference in such processes can appear risky. But when a
woman has started practicing this method, has experienced how much
better she feels, and when she has gained an insight into the benefits
of these exercises, she gradually gets used to the idea that she can
regulate the processes of ovulation and menstruation at will.
Tantric exercises for men and for women are themselves very simple,
and everybody can perform them without any difficulty. The point is in
redirecting the energies through certain messages, contraction of
specific muscular groups, breathing patterns, body positions and so on.
All the exercises are easily learned and most of them can be performed
perfectly from the very beginning.
The time needed for a complete mastery over sexual energies is
something different. It is, of course, above all, up to the individual,
and it depends on many circumstances. For some people, a few months will
be sufficient; some others will need a few years. Women can achieve very
satisfying results much faster than men can, especially because they can
be completely relaxed from the very beginning and because they have
developed an ability to grow through emotions and sexuality.
In every case, we can perceive the results of the exercises from the
very beginning. Both exercises done by men and women alone and those
done as partners. Exercises for the removal of menstrual difficulties
show results after two to three weeks of regular practice. Women's
exercises for directing orgasm can also show an effect very quickly.
Men's exercises done on one's own immediately raise the level of
physical and psychic energy, and create good mood and enthusiasm.
Concerning the exercises done by the man during intercourse, if he
manages to prevent ejaculation at least in one of two intercourse's, or
at least postpones it, there is already a 50 % improvement. So here also
the results appear at the very beginning. Energy and ecstasy grow in
time, and increase with every intercourse. Thereby grow enthusiasm and
zeal in everyday life.
The practice of Tantra isn't any more dangerous than driving a car.
Driving a car, even crossing a street includes some danger, and people
sometimes die, but we don't stop doing it. Instead, we try to be more
cautious. The advantages are incomparably larger than the potential
danger, and the number of people who perish in this way is
proportionally small.
With the proper caution, meaning a balanced life without extreme
straining of mind and body, there are no dangers from the practice of
Tantra. If we pay attention to healthy food, don't consume unnecessary
toxins, and if we relax regularly from everyday stresses, we can safely
grow with Tantra. It's true that Tantric texts say that the Tantric
practice is "Riding a tiger" and "Walking on the knife's
edge". Since the sexual instinct is one of the most powerful forces
in man, mastery over these forces is certainly a significant
undertaking.
In the past, the whole process of redirecting energy and raising
kundalini was connected with greater dangers than it is today. That,
which is dangerous in the process of raising energy, are the blockages
and the impurities in the body. If the energy starts moving, and its
path is not free, tension will be created, which can cause certain
disturbances in the functioning of the body. But if the path is free,
the energy will flow freely and no disturbances are created.
We see today that the knowledge about the possibility of the
development of consciousness is widely available. There is an abundance
of self-development methods. Probably never in the history of mankind
has such a great number of people been consciously engaged in their own
development. Experience of higher states of consciousness has become a
very frequent and common phenomenon. Many people can tell something
about their own experience of the rising of the kundalini energy. It
shows that the human physiology is generally more pure than it was in
the last centuries. People reach much higher states of consciousness
even without any special exercises. Human physiology is much more
prepared today for these experiences than ever before. That's why the
awakening of kundalini energy is not so dangerous as it was heretofore
considered to be. That's the result of the overall evolution of mankind.
Kundalini energy awakening is a natural physiological process, which
is the basis of the development of higher states of consciousness.
Timely awakening means that the body is freed from various physical and
psychical impurities and blockages. Otherwise, these blockages hinder
smooth energy flows in our psychophysical system. When the energy
channels are pure, and there are no obstructions to the energy flow, the
Kundalini rise presents no dramatic experience.
Problems can be expected in the case that the energy channels are not
completely passable. The intensified energy flow would, in such a
situation, cause a sort of friction, i.e. create some tension. In the
case that the energy flow is completely broken, such a friction or
tension can cause certain physical or psychical disturbances.
But, the increased quantity of energy in the body has also a
purifying effect. This energy tries to remove the impurities standing on
its way. That's how it itself frees the way for its further undisturbed
moving. So, in a normal case, the awakening of the kundalini
automatically rearranges the body and structures it in such a way that
it can without forcing conduct this new affluence.
More permanent, in other words, a real problem, arises only in the
case that the awakening of the kundalini is forced. If one adopts
certain yoga techniques for kundalini awakening, without paying
attention to maintaining the inner purity of the body and to a healthy
daily routine, problems can arise. Such cases are very rare. But they
are also very dramatic, and that's why, when they appear, they attract
lot of attention of the environment. Due to the dramatic nature of such
forced experiences, one speaks about rising of kundalini as of a
dangerous and frightening experience, undesirable for a common man. The
usual, natural rising of kundalini, causing no unpleasant phenomena, and
which is much more frequent, is not much spoken of. Since it is
experienced as a pleasant and not a tiring experience, and since it is
not dramatic, one doesn't have anything to talk about. That's why the
environment doesn't notice such experiences.
In the Tantra practice of the left hand, along with the kundalini
energy rise, we have a natural valve. Kundalini is in this case,
stimulated by sexual excitement. In the case that the energy channels
are not passable enough for the increased influx of energy, there will
be a greater sexual excitement, and the person will automatically empty
the surplus of energy through ejaculation or a clitoral orgasm. Besides,
there are some breathing methods that help to release a surplus of
energy. In order to speed up our development and to enable the body to
conduct freely the increased energy awakened by the Tantra practice, it
is recommended to pay attention also to the refinement of other aspects
of life.
This knowledge has for thousands of years been present in India as
well as in China. To tell the truth, there are some legends that claim
that China is the origin of the left-hand path of Tantra. Human
physiology being the same, and in the Tantra practice we deal above all
with the control of the physiology, the fundamental exercises used in
the Indian and Chinese tradition are the same. The differences can be
seen in some less important practices.
The Chinese tradition emphasized an individual approach, a detailed
following of the energy processes in the body and stimulation of some
energetic points. The Indian tradition was more occupied with the
influences of sound, of geometric forms and with the intensifying energy
through collective practice. Techniques that we give in our seminar are
basic psycho physiological techniques. They are not bound to a specific
tradition.
The Tantra teachings themselves predict that the form of exposing
Tantra will be modified in the course of centuries and millenniums, in
accord with the needs of a specific culture. So the basic Tantra
seminars emphasize the procedures which every person can turn into
practice and immediately experience its effects. The residence courses
enter somewhat deeper into the Tantra tradition, still holding on to the
practical level.
Man and women are biologically and energetically one body. They can't
survive without each other. In a Tantra relationship, this unity is
maximally expressed. In a Tantra relationship man and woman are like
communicating vessels. The energy initiated in one partner is
immediately transmitted to the other. The awakening of energy, its
rising and spreading and broadening of awareness occur at the same time
in both partners. A woman is a means for the development of a man as
much as a man is a means for the development of a woman. The development
of the one means also the development of the other.
The idea that the partner's benefit, or generally other people's
benefit is not our own benefit is a limitation that we acquired
somewhere during our growing up. Such ideas are not present in the
Tantra approach to life. Growth and development of my environment
definitely mean my own growth. The benefit of others' is also my own
benefit. In a Tantra relationship, this common benefit, this common
growth is the most direct experience. Love and respect for a partner
continually grow because we experience that our partner is just the one
who makes possible our personal growth. As they come closer to the self,
the partners come closer to each other.
The development through Tantric sex is a fantastic idea of the
Creator. All this is already naturally ingrained in a man a woman and
us. A man and a woman are here with the ingrained desire and need for
union. No discipline or effort of will is necessary. Surrendering to
that union is enough to raise them to God consciousness.
Tantra is not occupied with what should be, but with what is. Tantra
deals with facts. Tantra accepts every person on the level where he is
and instructs him in the ways to connect this situation with the
absolute value of life. Tantra says: "Whatever may be the cause of
one's fall, it can be the means of his rise!" So Tantra doesn't set
any moral rules. Right is what makes us come closer to the Self. Wrong
is what removes us from the Self. If we feel that an act degrades us,
that it makes us unhappy, that it binds and tightens us, even if it
apparently doesn't do any harm to others, or if it initially seems to do
good to others, and restricts us, it is evident that we do wrong. Wrong
is everything that reduces awareness. Approaching to the Self means
broadening of the awareness. This is the ultimate and the supreme
criteria of the right or wrong of an act.
An ideal life partner is a person who always inspires growth in us,
in all aspects of life. If we are in the same time also a perpetual
inspiration for him in the same sense, then we can speak of an ideal
relationship. People often talk about love, but for real love, we are
only able to experience it in the state of fullness, in the state of the
Self-realization.
Before the realization of Fullness, what attracts us to another
person is the need for growth. Growth is a sequential satisfying of
person's needs, from basic physiological needs to the need for
self-cognition. What people usually call love is, in fact, an attempt to
satisfy their needs. When we meet a person who seems to be able to
fulfill our current needs in the given moment, we feel attracted to this
person and we sometimes call that love. But when certain needs are
satisfied other needs appear. If the same person is able to satisfy
these new needs too, the relationship may continue with the same
dynamism. But if it's not the case, we start to stagnate, we don't feel
that we're making any progress, we are unhappy, and if we are enough
self-conscious, we break this relationship and enter into another.
Growth, evolution, is the basic natural law. If we don't live
according to this law, we suffer. The situation that two people can
continually grow together is rare. The most frequent situation is that
in which after a short period of growth and enthusiasm, both people
stagnate and suffer for a very long time. By creating bliss
consciousness Tantra offers the possibility that the person whom we
enter into the relationship with, is our ideal partner. Bliss
consciousness is the basis for the maximum growth in all aspects of
life. The person, who makes a gradual creation of bliss consciousness
possible for us, deserves to be called an ideal partner.
If we have a person we continually experience maximum growth with,
why would we change her? If we are not with such a person, the natural
tendency to grow and make progress will force us to look for her. If we,
for various reasons, resist this tendency, we will be dissatisfied and
will suffer. This applies to all aspects of life.
Concerning growth through sexual union, it's again ideal if we have a
person who supports us fully in our aspirations and wants to grow and to
develop together with us. It is desirable to have a permanent
relationship with such a person. A maximum co-operation is the beginning
stage of mastering sexual energy. Without the partner's support, the
progress will be very slow. The basic criterion in deciding whom are we
going to be with, and for how long, should be the satisfying of the need
for growth. Morality has usually nothing to do with the growth. It is
more in the service of control of freedom and growth. Right is what
brings us nearer to the self. Wrong is what removes us from the Self.
The Tantra seminar is meant for people who are interested in an
intense personal development, as well as to people who simply want to
improve the quality of their sexual life, or to get rid of different
problems and difficulties in this sphere. In order to attend a Tantra
seminar it is not necessary to be already practicing some other
self-development technique. Or, if we are already practicing some other
technique, it is not an obstacle to attend the seminar and master the
Tantra knowledge.
The psycho physiological techniques, given by the Tantra seminar are
by themselves powerful enough to improve the quality of our life and to
give everything that we need. It is not necessary to also practice
meditation or some other method, if we are not interested in it. On the
other side, it is true that, if we at the same time pay attention to
refining other aspects of life, progress will be much faster.
Tantra exercises enable refinement of our sexual energies. Parallel
with it, we can work on the refinement of our body, food, breathing,
mind, feeling, intellect, environment, behavior, and so on. If we
approach from more directions, our full potential will be developed
quickly. Also, the refinement of different aspects of life contributes
to the refinement of all other aspects. If we solve the inner traumas
and blockages through meditation or some other form of breathing, it
will have a beneficial effect on our ability to master our sexual
energies. The progress in the Tantra exercises will be much faster that
way.
This objection comes from western medicine. The idea is that semen
will remain in the prostate gland if it's not ejaculated, and that the
prostate will after every intercourse remain expanded for some time,
which through repetition may cause problems with that organ and the
functions connected with it. Tantra techniques also include some
practices for strengthening the prostate gland. These exercises develop
flexibility and the strength of the prostate gland and after every
intercourse bring it back to the normal state. So, there is no danger
that the prostate might be damaged. On the contrary, Tantric methods
bring the prostate back to the optimal state and maintain it so.
The cause of all problems is an inner weakness, lack of creativity.
The cause of all negativity is the absence of bliss consciousness.
Psychological research shows that an average person uses only two to
three percent of his mental potential. It is as if we, instead of our
whole body, use just the little finger. So it seems that the quality of
our life is on the level of the little finger. Our desires, our
intelligence, our feelings, aspirations, all are on the level of the
little finger. It's no wonder that the whole of life is full of
problems.
If a man uses only two to three percent of his potential, he is not
mature. Whether the problems are on the level of the individual or the
community and no matter what kind of problems whether these are health,
economic, ecological, political, problems of education or of behavior,
they indicate that this individual or community are weak, that they
don't use their full creativity.
Tantra practice wakes up our dormant energies that, again, activate
our latent potentials. Free increased currents of energy develop our
creative abilities. One ceases to feel as a helpless victim in the
chaotic world, and becomes capable of changing his circumstances in
accord with his inner growth. The extended orgasm, realized by the
partners through the practice of Tantra is a superior state of
physiology that awakens all the healing forces of the body. This special
physiological state is the basis for bliss consciousness, which
continues in everyday life. That special psycho physiological state
makes possible the solution to all the traumas and blockages.
In bliss consciousness there is no negativity. In this way we see
that the Tantra experience makes possible the improvement of health, of
social behavior and the enhancement of general creativity. When
creativity is enhanced, the whole life blossoms. A method that enhances
creativity is a method for removing of all problems.
Tantra exercises for removing menstrual problems are very simple and
also very enjoyable. They require about ten-minutes a day. If they are
practiced regularly, usual menstrual problems can be significantly
reduced or completely eliminated in two or three weeks. For the
alleviation of some extreme cases of menstrual difficulties, four or
five weeks of regular practice may be necessary. The exercises are
extremely efficient. They also create an ecstatic mood similar to that
caused by orgasm. In the case a woman is without a partner for some
longer or shorter time, these exercises help her to more comfortably
pass through such a period.
Tantra exercises improve man's potential in many ways. There are some
exercises that develop the hardness of the penis in erection, and some
others that reduce its sensitivity, which makes possible the
prolongation of sexual intercourse. Another type of practice strengthens
the prostate gland, which also influences the strength of the erection
and the ability to prolong intercourse. Energetic exercises through
strengthening of energetic centers connected with sexuality directly
influence the strength of the sexual impulse. The exercises that have as
a direct goal the prevention of a reflex ejaculation make possible the
prolongation of the intercourse at will.
And finally, the continual accumulation, instead of losing the energy
with every intercourse, makes a man always interested in a woman, and
ready for another sexual intercourse. In this way, the set of exercises
strengthens the man's potential to an incredible measure, and not only
maintains it on a high level but increases it with years. These
exercises are efficient for the most diverse sexual problems, for young
people as well as for elderly. The most frequent problem, which men
complain about, is a premature ejaculation and the weakness of the
prostate gland. Both of these difficulties can be solved through Tantric
exercises.
Most spiritual systems discourage people from sexual pleasures,
saying that it's experience is opposed to spiritual growth and to the
cognition of God. It is argued that the fact sensory pleasures take the
attention outward, and that the essence of life is inside, hidden deep
within us. Besides, sensory pleasures are temporary and therefore they
don't make for permanent happiness. Truth is that what doesn't change.
So, sensory pleasures don't belong to the realm of truth.
The attitude of Tantra is that we can't deny the reality of
experiencing temporary things. The temporary is as true as the
permanent. Instead of refraining from pleasure, Tantra teaches to
intensify the pleasure to the maximum extent. Maximum pleasure is bliss,
and bliss is the essence of life. If we follow the pleasure, we come to
more and more refined levels of creation, and eventually to the very
source of all relativity. Here there is the greatest pleasure. Here we
are closest to the Self. So, Tantra leads us, by way of following
pleasure, to our true nature. Except in case of people, who are blocked
by some heavy traumas, every body wants the sexual union and everybody
wants to enjoy as much as possible. Tantra teaches us how to enjoy to
the maximum that which we already do. That is why Tantra has the
greatest chance to be widely accepted and practiced. That is why Tantra
union is the most natural way to the Self.
There are many ways in which Tantra improves the health of the
practitioners. The first effect is that created by specific exercises
for men and women. These exercises improve the state of the genital
apparatus, balance the hormones, and thereby improve the state of the
whole body. Another beneficial effect on the human body and psyche is
the one created through intense pleasure and the prolonged orgasm. It is
important to bear in mind that in Tantra sex there is neither energy,
nor emotional and physical fall, which is characteristic of classical
sex. That is why the prolonged orgasm can show its full healing effect
on every type of disorder.
As soon as we remove blockages of energy from the body, spirituality
is unavoidable. It is a great error to consider spirituality something
strictly detached from the material and worldly. Actually, spirituality
is the full potential of the worldly and material. When energy flows
freely and undisturbed, through our psychophysical body, spirituality is
there. When we are healthy, full of energy, full of zeal and enthusiasm,
capable to create, to change things for the better, this is already
spirituality. When the flow of energy is blocked, we feel weak and
feeble, we feel victims of circumstances, and we are unsatisfied. When
we raise the energy level and redirect the course of energy,
spirituality is automatically there. Bliss, ecstasy, broadness of
awareness, knowledge that we do what we are called for. Spirituality is
an unavoidable consequence of the practice of Tantra.
