Tantra is about consciousness, but one of the meanings of the word Tantra is web of fabric. And that says a lot about the inner process of expanding consciousness. Sometimes, as in life, when weaving clothes, one of the jobs is precisely to untie the knots. Within the process, our #choices occur according to the levels of substances that exist within the body. What can be toxic substances, or not.

So, to have the best choices for that present moment that hasn't arrived yet, it's nice to start with food, for example. Pay attention to what your body asks for and cultivate habits such as stretching your body on a daily basis. Paying attention to breathing, doing air retention exercises, and expanding energy visualization is all very interesting. For example, take deep and conscious breathing.

The examples above are just a practical start to having a more conscious personal life. It may sound trivial, but doing our day-to-day rituals makes all the difference in the inner state. Be it in the feeling of having a full body and heart. Our life, at present, is what is most dear to consciousness. It's thinking and reflecting on what life is and then working to go beyond it. But the important thing is that the work is natural, fluid. Without effort. Doing things effortlessly is not about “laziness”, on the contrary.

Granthis Knots and How to Make the Untying Process

But we can get out of the abstract and perceive the granthis as an “order of energy” that exists within the body. On the path of Tantra there is no sense in suffering, so between having money and not suffering, the answer is not suffering. This abundance is not just about finances, it is an abundance that embraces more plans of #existence. So many people who are financially abundant but at the same time so lacking in emotional or quality of life aspects.

Then, from the moment you begin the bioenergy expansion process, you begin to notice differences in the inner attitude. Whether in self-disposition or in perceiving certain aspects of life. How to untie the knots involves going through the internal process of evolution, but without anxiety. This is important: making it happen, integrating emotions and thoughts, and not getting into dual aspects. Life is one!

The granthis are the inner security energy nodes. Insofar as you expands the energy, they ensure that the energy doesn't “come back”. To untie them, the techniques of Yoga and Tantra are very efficient. Tantra helps in form, in the sense of making it fluid. Yoga helps the act itself. Originally Tantra and Yoga were the same thing. But over the millennia, they separate in terms of teaching.
