Tantra yoga draws on the sciences of astrology, numerology, physics, chemistry, mathematics and geometry and instead of keeping different areas of human knowledge apart it draws them together.

What Is Tantra Yoga?

The aim of Tantra yoga is to build and expand on all states of consciousness; this state can be our dreams, sleep or waking state. Years of thinking about our life and our being the wrong way have left deep seated beliefs so it is probably easier if we think of our body and mind as a computer that needs wiping clean and re installing.

Our lives are predicted in a way by the place we were born and the circumstances of our upbringing and if there are no problems in our life and we are happy then we will see no need for change. However if we start having difficulties in life or problems then we often feel a need for change, Tantra yoga can help us to make that change.

It teaches us to identify various factors which influence our thoughts and feelings and to see obstacles which may stand in our way from our ignorance and selfishness. By practising Tanta yoga we can refine our thoughts and feelings and learn how to create harmony and order within ourselves.

Several forms of yoga are based on the fact of opposites attract just as the universe is a mad up of two opposites, the static and the dynamic principle. Tantra yogic believes that as long as the phenomenal world exists it is the universal mother who is the creator, preserver and destroyer, therefore in Tantra yoga she is worshipped as divine.

Tantra yoga meditation

Tantric meditation is all about sitting calmly and quietly and focusing on purifying the heart and mind of all wayward thoughts and desires, during the meditation you should try and visualise the life force leaving the body through the forehead and a body of light and energy forming three feet away from you.

The practitioner should visualise the light expanding until is of human size, love and devotion are then directed at this body of light which represent the practitioners soul. This part of the Tantra meditation will usually take 15 to 20 minutes then the light and energy is invited to return back through the forehead and down through the body to the base of the spine.

It is said that after practising Tantra yoga for many years a great sense of renewal can be felt through the meditation alone, with the Tantric becoming increasingly aware that the life force within a person is a truly divine gift from the Lord.
