You can read on any website on Tantra that the word “Tantra” means “expansion”, “waving”, “awareness”. If compared with the word “Tao”, which means “The way”, both teachings are about similar things. These things are not intellectual, not philosophical, not doctrine and not religion or dogma, these things are: freedom, liberation, expression and experience. Tantra presents the method of how to get into this state of being when one feels free to be who one really is. Sexuality is only a part of this method. You can read about this on the page “What is Tantric sex”.

We all live in the world of desires. Everything around is designed to maintain the system which we call the country. Everything is on sale, to create wealth of the country, political and economical stability. We often become victims of what we desire, which is influenced by advertising. Fulfilling our desires makes money for someone else. There is nothing wrong with money. We all need to survive, so money is energy too. But everything in this universe is about balance. When we get out of balance we start to have problems. To find the right balance, to feel it clearly, to live in a sense of balance all the time, this is what Tantra is about: the way of life, when desires are not “burning out” your energy. Tantra is a way of life, when you expand your vision to enjoy existence with gratitude and acceptance, when you wave into the world kind, beautiful, loving energy, and when you are aware of everything happening with you and others.

So Tantra is: GRATITUDE, ACCEPTANCE, KINDNESS, LOVE, CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

To live life in Tantra appears not to be easy, seems like sacrificing something exciting, funny, spontaneous, passionate. This is not true. To live in Tantra is opposite. It is easy. It is natural. It is free. It is like living always in a mood of watching the film. If film is exciting, passionate, funny – get excited, laugh, express passion. When film is sad, painful, upsetting – do not turn your eyes away, watch it too, live through it with gratitude, acceptance, kindness, love, care of yourself and others. It does not mean that you have no choice and are not free to change the “film” and to watch a different one. But everything in this universe is a matter of time. Life is a river. You cannot turn the direction of the river in a second. But you can turn it… in time! Do it with gratitude, acceptance, kindness, love, care of yourself and others and you will be able to “turn any river and watch the film you like”. Nobody is better, nobody is worse in this universe. If you want something quicker, because life is short and do not live with gratitude, acceptance, kindness, love, care of yourself and others, this is where problems will arise. The universe is not trying to punish you! The universe is just maintaining balance!
