Preparing for Tantric Experience
To set the bedroom for tantric lovemaking, create a meditative ambiance. Dimming the lights while playing soft music and lighting scented candles can help. Soak in a warm bath or a take a shower to relax and cleanse yourself.
Breathe deeply so you can stay in the moment. Do a simple yoga flow or meditation to release stress and tension. Use perfumed oils to massage your body and sense them. Comfortable sensual clothing should be worn or be completely nude. Focus completely on your body, feelings, and spirit.
Creating a Sacred Space
Pick a clean comfortable to turn into your tantric temple. Spruce up your space with flowers, candles and incense. Make a place for yourself that utilizes all five senses. Remove clutter and distractions. Burn sage or palo santo to cleanse the energy. Build a sacred place with few items that inspire you spiritually. Only using this is strictly reserved for doing tantrik practices. Honor it as a temple for awakening. As you enter this holy site, set an intention to be present, aware and respectful.
Mindfulness and Presence
Arrive at your tantric ritual with an open and relaxed mind, free of expectation. Focus on goals is defined as setting an intention of behavior. Be present, taking in every touch, smell, sound, sight and taste at a conscious level. Don’t judge your thoughts or what distracts you. Just notice them and come back. Try to keep your eyes on your partner’s eyes while both of you hijack breaths. Be thankful for every moment, get involved in it.
Emotional Connection and Intimacy
Tantric sex is about intimacy not just physical pleasure. Prioritize emotional and spiritual connection above all else. Let the energies of love, harmony, and trust surround you. Look into each other’s eyes and whisper sweet nothings to each other. Don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed, you and your partner are totally fine as you are. Walk slowly and gently, communicating what you want in the moment. Rather than focusing on reaching a goal, enjoy the journey itself. Don’t waste a single second of your life! this is a divine union.
Principles of Tantric Lovemaking
“This lovemaking is the opposite of a quickie. This lovemaking is all about giving each other a good connection.”
Forget about rushing to the finish line. Walking the path is all there is. Gaze into their eyes, breathe at the same frequency, and pay attention to feeling. Encourage the energy charge to build with gentle touching and massage. Stop worrying about performance and enjoy the moment. This gives us a strong feeling of closeness and deep happiness.
Slowing Down and Awareness
A tantric way means slowing down during lovemaking. No need to rush. Tune into your senses. Check out how your partner appears, scents, and seems. Cherish every little noise from soft moans to the sheets rustling. As you slow down, your awareness begins to espouse more subtle sensation and energy between us. Make sure that you stay in the present and not worry about the past and the future. It creates a powerful sexual bond between them.
Breath Control and Energy Flow
Breath work is important in sex. When you focus on your breathing with your partner, you create a circuit through which energy and sexual charge can flow. Take in love and breathe out stress. Synchronize breaths during intimacy. Take deep breaths into your stomach and privates.
Breaths become quicker naturally as arousal builds. Control the rise of energy and prolong it with your breath. As you practice more and more, you can learn to surf the peaks of orgasmic pleasure with breathwork.
Exploring Sensuality and Sensation
Tantra allows you to explore your partners entire body lovingly. Use light, soft touch along with gentle strokes, kisses, and licks to awaken skin. Explore and explore sex spots beyond the obvious ones. Use feathers, silk, ice cubes, or warm oil to tease your senses. Spend time giving each other a massage and manual pleasure. Build intensity gradually. Check how different places give you feelings. Let the waves of pleasure flow through your entire being
Integrating Tantra into Daily Life
Tantra says to perform even a simple action deliberately and meaningfully. While brushing your teeth or washing the dishes or driving to work, just slow down and be present. Be aware of the feelings inside your body and around.
Inhale and transfer love energy into whatever you create. Begin and conclude your day with a tantric ritual stretching or a brief meditation may be something to try! Always remember the principles of tantrism while you carry out your day-to-day work.
Take some time to breathe, when stressed. If you are feeling disconnected from your partner, try making eye contact and holding hands.
Maintaining Balance and Harmony
When we are so busy all the time, we don’t pay attention to self-care do we? Tantra tells us to care for our body, mind and soul. Find time to unwind with a bath, massage or being mindful with a cup of tea.
Make time for each other so that the relationship can flourish. Work on being fully present with one another. Make sure to love your partner. Don’t stay bitter but handle a conflict with empathy and patience!
Tantric Practices for Everyday
Try to start with small things to bring tantra in your daily life. To start the day, attempt a yoni egg practice for 5 minutes. Before moving away from one another for a day, do a tantric heart connection ritual.
You should set your alarm to remind yourself to take a breathe and chill. Always focus on conscious communication – listen without interrupting, look at your partner when you talk, and express vulnerability. Make everyday moments intimate – like a tantric kiss before heading to work, a sensual shower together or conscious cuddling before bed.
Sustaining Intimacy and Passion
Don’t just make love when you feel like it – make intimacy a priority. Create regular time for conscious lovemaking. Use tantra massage to cherish each other’s bodies. Try new positions, toys and fantasies together. Forget about sex that’s goal-oriented, and just enjoy!
Always remain curious about each other. Always ask oepn ended questions share your dreams and grow in continued togetherness.
