No, tantra is about sexuality but it is also a spiritual tradition that encompasses much more than sexuality, focusing on achieving spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine through a wide range of practices, including meditation, rituals, and the philosophy of non-duality. While tantra includes sacred sexual practices, these are performed as a means to transform sexual energy into spiritual power and deepen the connection between partners, emphasizing the balance of masculine and feminine energies. Western interpretations often overemphasize the sexual aspects, but in reality, tantra is about self-awareness, personal empowerment, and emotional healing. It offers tools for improving relationship dynamics and fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all life, making it a comprehensive path for personal and spiritual growth.

You do not have to be in a relationship to practice tantra. You can find a partner to practice with, or even just practice by yourself and prepare for your partnership to manifest. You can play with the same dynamics of tantra in life, with nature, and even with your own inner union.

Classical Tantra originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago and is deeply intertwined with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It involves complex rituals, mantras, yantras, and meditation practices aimed at achieving spiritual enlightenment and the union of the individual self with the divine. The primary goal of Classical Tantra is to transcend the ordinary experience of life and attain moksha, or spiritual liberation, through the integration of mind, body, and spirit. This form of Tantra emphasizes the realization of non-duality and understanding the interconnectedness of the universe. While sexuality is a minor component, it is approached as a sacred ritual to elevate consciousness rather than for physical pleasure. Classical Tantra requires a dedicated relationship with a guru or teacher, who guides the student through complex and often secretive practices.

Neotantra emerged in the 20th century as a modern adaptation of traditional Tantric practices, primarily in the West. It is often influenced by New Age spirituality and psychotherapy, making it more accessible and less esoteric than Classical Tantra. Neotantra places significant focus on sexual practices and harnessing sexual energy for personal growth and healing, promoting sex as a spiritual experience and a pathway to deeper intimacy and connection. It emphasizes personal empowerment, emotional healing, and improving relationships through techniques like conscious touch, breathwork, and energy exchange. Neotantra integrates elements of modern psychology, focusing on self-awareness, communication, and emotional intelligence. It is often taught in workshops, retreats, and online courses, fostering a sense of shared learning and support within community settings. 

Yes! But not how you might think. Tantra is all about finding your connection and unique perspective of God, sexuality, and life force through your body, your day to day life, and your human experience.
