8 Tantra Tips for Beginners to Put into Practice
Tantra is a philosophical and ritualistic movement, which gave rise to numerous Hindu, Buddhist and Jain sects, built on the teachings of Tantra — writings dating between the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries AD.
In reality, there is no manual per se, but we know that it is important to have some guidance before starting to practice Tantra.
The main objective is to connect with oneself, awakening the sexual energy gradually. See our tips below.
1. Set aside time without distractions
Tantra cannot be practiced with laziness, haste or fatigue. It is best to book a time of day when you are most willing, regardless of the period — morning, afternoon or evening.
So, start by turning off any electronics, choose a reserved and comfortable environment and experience the experience calmly.
2. Take care of the environment around you
Another Tantra tip for beginners is about the environment. It doesn't matter if you chose the bedroom or the practice room, but the room must be prepared carefully. It should be free of clutter, clutter and distractions.
If you and your partner decide to start Tantra in bed, swap the sheets for soft-touch alternatives. If they decided to settle in the room, spread pillows or pillows on the spot.
It is also worth putting fresh plants or herbs in the environment in order to enhance the energetic vibration of the space. Soft songs are great options to make the place even more comfortable.
3. Focus on your breath
One more point that deserves your attention is breathing. The starting point for synchronizing your breathing with your partner's is the Yab Yum technique.
Here, your partner sits cross-legged and you position yourself on his lap, wrapping your hips with your legs. It is important to spend time together in this position.
According to the concepts of Tantra, this technique increases the couple's connection. The goal is for both parties to be able to connect the breath as well as the heartbeat.
4. Connect with the partner
One of the main purposes of Tantra is to teach the individual how to “enjoy the journey”, instead of focusing only on the orgasm in itself. For this, the foreplay and caressing sessions need to last longer.
Once the Yab Yum position is finished, the couple should perform other variations, keeping the touches light and avoiding penetration. Both should explore their bodies as much as possible.
In this way, the technique acts as a regulator of numerous sexual stimuli, desires and responses, which are normally different between a couple. In addition, it promotes greater intimacy and expansion of energy throughout the body.
5. Discover tantric massage
invest in Tantric massage it is another way of stimulating touch. Simultaneously, the couple should run the other's body with the fingertips, very slowly.
The goal is to walk through each erogenous zone without haste, in order to feel the texture of the skin, the hair, the goose bumps and perceive every detail of the partner's anatomy, especially areas previously neglected in foreplay.
6. Explore different regions of the body
An essential point of Tantra for beginners is to explore every detail of one's own and partner's body. Start by paying attention to your breath and relax your muscles.
Then, run your fingers through your hair, move to your face and feel the touch of your face, lips and ears. Then move on to the neck, arms, belly, chest/breasts, buttocks and pubis.
Repeat the touches on each other's bodies. At this time, avoid the genital region.
7. Free your mind and stay focused on the moment
As Tantra takes place at a slow pace, thoughts must follow at the same frequency. So let go of worries, tensions, or even expectations about the experience itself.
Avoid focusing on small 'defects' in the body. Focus on the present and try to prevent external factors, such as noise, from interfering with the practice.
8. Enlist the help of a tantric therapist
If you don't feel comfortable starting Tantra on your own, it's always worth enlisting the guidance of a professional tantric therapist.
As we said initially, the practice of Tantra, or tantric massage, is not directly related to sex. In this context, the tantric therapist is involved only to guide individuals on this journey.
A tantric session accompanied by a professional aims to practice meditation and work with energies. So the real role of the therapist is to provide the opportunity for you and your partner to experience your own energy.
