Tantric meanings and interpretations
Sometimes I have been asked why I have so many similar articles regarding Tantra - its meanings and interpretations, as well as Tantric Healing, Yoni massage etc
To put it simply, Tantra can be interpreted in many ways. A certain Tantra Master might be inspired by a particular text or lesson, yet another might draw his inspiration from a portion in that text, each then offers his interpretation. It is the same with 5 young people learning to play guitar, they all go to the same teacher. After 6 months you will hear these 5 people play their instrument, each with his own unique style and technique, yet all may be influenced by their teacher in some way, but they will have their own unique style and technique.
The reason for this, we are creative beings.
With Tantra, the teachings on sexual wellness, and the teachings on sensuality, we can apply the same logic. Because we are creative beings, as well as sexual beings, we will have different interpretations on this subject matter. Another example, look at the different Christian Churches, each with their own unique character and method of presenting the Gospel, yet none are wrong! So it is with Tantra, each interprets his own truth and holds dear to what is applicable to their life at that time. Within a few months that might change and they then begin to explore a different path of teachings and meanings.
In the West we have focussed on the sexual aspect of Tantra, yet it is more than that, it is a journey of self discovery.
Let Tantra be your path, let your body be the playground, and therefore set yourself free to play and explore.
Play with your emotions, desires and feelings. Experience Bliss!
Explore new teachings, apply them to your life, and then explore a new you, release the old conservative restricted stranglehold on your life. Embrace a renewed mind, body and spirit.
be blessed
