Tantra or tantrism is defined as an oriental esoteric custom, which is based on material desire with a spiritual goal. This philosophy of life uses sexual energy to connect with oneself. It is practiced in India, Indonesia, Korea, China, Nepal, Mongolia, Japan. The practice of tantra has its variants within Hinduism, Buddhism and other creeds.
In Buddhism, tantra is seen as the fastest way to enlightenment. They represent texts that symbolically serve as a guide for life. On the other hand, Hinduism, highlights the masculine and feminine energies which are incorporated through tantra, achieving absolute pleasure and elevation. The mode of relaxation and breathing associated with these esoteric traditions used in eroticism is called tantric sex.
This ancient practice has lost its real meaning in the Western world, since it has leaned more towards the physical than the spiritual, since many consider it as a method to renew sexual life and nothing more. This is what many Western experts call neotantra.
The main objective of these practices is to bring about the enlightenment of thought. There are many benefits that tantra brings, especially on the sexual plane, although there is generally an inclination towards a better understanding of the person himself, with all the improvement that this implies. When there is a recovery in regards to the sexual life of a couple, it becomes more pleasant and the relationship between the two becomes harmonious, trust with each other increases, as well as communication becomes closer.
Self-esteem benefits from tantra since by feeling better, the person has more strength to face life, since by accepting himself, with his defects and virtues, personal improvement can easily be achieved.
All this energy that arises through tantra practices is not beneficial by itself; It is important that you guide yourself in a productive way, that is why if you have this knowledge, it should be done with great responsibility.
