Tantra is a sexual practice that beautifully merges sex and spirituality. If you’re not sure where to begin, or how to go about incorporating tantric sex practices, we are here to hep with some tips to help you give tantric sex a try.
Forget everything you know
If you are trying to simply incorporate tantra into you sex life without making any changes to how your having sex you aren’t going to have success. Sometimes during tantric sex, you’re barely moving, and the focus is on the meditative, devotional dimension. That said, all sexual energy can be tantric when done with awareness. Tantric sex can dive into the raw, intense, and animalistic spaces, where the body’s instinctual intelligence takes over and you are blind to pleasure. Don’t worry this doesn’t mean your sex life has to become boring, tantric sex can even be incorporated into bdsm relationships.
Redecorate
Consciously disconnect from the mundane world and enter the world of the Divine with a sacred sexual space. Turn off devices, light candles or incense, and gather any special treats like chocolates or berries. Purify yourself by showering and dressing in something lovely; purify your space by tidying up and putting away the laundry piles.
Connect beforehand
Soul gazing is a good way to spiritually and emotionally connect with your partner before you connect physically. Gazing at your partner, see the divine spark in their eyes. Feel the sacredness of this simple moment together. Try for two minutes. Notice what emotions or sensations come up, or if you feel tempted to look away.
When in doubt rub it out
Consider trying out the yoni massage (a tantric massage for the vagina and clitoris), lingam massage (a tantric massage for penises), and tantric nipple play. In a tantric massage, one partner gets to just lie back and receive, getting the chance to tune into their pleasure and sexual energy and see how it wants to open up through their body, while the other partner moves their hands slowly and meditatively along their body to let them feel every single new sensation.
