TAN means totality, wholeness…<\/p>\n

TRA describes the tool to get there.<\/p>\n

The Tantras are the ancient mystical wisdom scriptures of ancient India, Tibet, Nepal, China and also Egypt.<\/p>\n

We could call Tantra the mystical path of Hinduism and Buddhism, just as Sufism is the mystical path of Islam, Gnosticism is the mystical path of Christianity, and Kabbalah is the mystical path of Judaism. Mysticism has always preceded religion.<\/p>\n

What religions have in common is that they want to suppress, even hate, the body, women, sexuality and beauty.<\/p>\n

The Mystics go another way, the way of Love of the body, of the divine feminine… that’s why the religious like to kill the mystics…<\/p>\n

In addition, all religions are at war between each other, but the mystics are united among themselves and speak the same language: the language of love…<\/p>\n

The tantras describe all aspects of life and see humans in their totality. Therefore, as in the most spiritual paths and all religions, sexuality is not demonized and excluded.<\/p>\n

In the 1960’s, the western world pounced on this small percentage of the sexual content of the Tantras and thereby overlooked their actual message:<\/p>\n

Before we make love to a person, we should learn to make love to space and the entire cosmos…<\/p>\n

Vibrating with him…<\/p>\n

Swinging in the same frequenzy…<\/p>\n

Only then can we experience the blissful essence of sexual union.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
