How to Tantra

Tantra is a rich and deep union with yourself and others that gives sacred sanctuary, connection and meaning in your life and relationships, according to Passion University. Tantra channels ecstatic passion and life-force energy through the body's chakras (main energy centers) to bring complete, full-body orgasms that provide satisfaction on all levels. Tantra channels sexual energy, creates communication between partners and teaches acceptance of yourself and your partner. Discovery Health explains that the practice of tantra shows us how to reclaim sexual intimacy and expand mere moments of sexual ecstasy into a lifetime of sexual bliss. In this context, sex is thought to expand consciousness and weave the polarities of male and female into a harmonious whole.

Instructions

1. Make your relationship a priority by setting aside time every day or each week to be with your partner intimately. You cannot benefit from Tantra if you don't make time to practice. Set the mood by creating a space for intimacy that helps relax you and your partner so that the focus is only on the two of you. Choose what is right for you and your relationship, ensuring that both partners are comfortable with the atmosphere.

2. Develop intimacy with a ritual unique to your relationship. Discovery Health suggests feeding each other delicious foods, sharing a glass of wine in the nude or enjoying a bath together to attune to each other. Strengthen the bonds of love and ignite passion by taking time to dote on your partner.

3. Communicate with your partner, and make him or her feel special. Synchronize your breathing to quiet the mind and help you focus on each other. Discovery Health recommends maintaining eye contact while focusing on breathing as one.

4. Practice erotic touch with your partner. Maintain eye contact and take turns stimulating each other, providing suggestions along the way to help your partner discover what satisfies you most. Make your requests in a loving manner, offering encouragement and thanks.

5. Explore sexual intercourse while maintaining the level of intimacy you practiced in previous steps. Gaze into each other's eyes, and encourage each other. Keep it slow to control men's orgasms and pique women's arousal.

6. Try different positions to explore your duality. Discovery Health explains that when lovers release themselves from gender role, they are free to engage in deeper, more intimate sex. Exchange between male-dominant and female-dominant roles explores your capacity to be strong and gentle as well as generous and receptive.

7. Practice ejaculatory control (in men) so you may enjoy the pleasure of multiple mini-orgasms while making love. To do this, contract your pubococcygeal muscles, the ultimate sex muscles, several times per day to gain control over your ejaculation. Relaxing during intercourse also will help prolong ejaculation.

   Women also can experience the pleasures of multiple orgasms, but many women's desires for orgasm are inhibited by distracting thoughts. Discovery Health suggests guiding your partner through clitoral stimulation, patiently explaining the strokes that are most effective.
