Transformation Path of Tantra

"The Most Powerful Technique in Tantra", Health Articles, no date
"Tantra is known as the "transformation path". the most important technique in Tantra is called "transfiguration".

What does transfiguration mean?

According to the dictionary, Transfigure (vt) : to change so as to glorify or exalt.

Reverse transfiguration, then, would be the process of changing so as to profane, disparage, or belittle. That's what we do when we obsess about the little, negative things that really don't matter - our pet peeves.

You've just seen the power of reverse transfiguration to destroy your mood, your day, and your relationships. Yeeech! Who wants that?

So, what then does the exceptional practitioner of tantra do differently? How can you completely change your mood, your day, and your life, using the technique you already do, out of habit?

And if you do the technique out of habit, then that means that the technique is something you're already good at, right?!! We just need to tweak it so it helps you.

Here's the little twist you'll put on it:

The exceptional practitioner transfigures a person or situation so as to glorify or exalt it's highest aspect, an aspect that already exists. And that higher aspect is always there - no matter how subtle or difficult to find...

So here's how you are going to make transfiguration your friend, instead of your undoing:

Find something wonderful (but real) that exists within a loved one, or, if you want to transfigure yourself, a trait that exists within you. Smile. The something can be subtle, or obvious. You can start with a feeling.

Be aware of that special something, however subtle it may be. Smile. Stay with the feeling. Circulate the feeling throughout your whole body. Smile.

Now amplify the feelings, and if other feelings like love, compassion, or awe, devotion, etc., appear, join them with the original feeling.

Continue to amplify, and gently send the good feelings back towards your loved one, and towards your own self-image.

Repeat, smile, amplify, give back, and enjoy, again and again. This is the simple version of transfiguration, but, like its reverse, it is extremely powerful.

Start with a feeling. Then expand it and give it back.

Do this positive transfiguration for at least a few minutes a day, everyday. This is real tantra. Transfigure your lover, your self, your "enemies", your friends. Transfigure politicians, or criminals. Transfigure your own concept of divinity, whatever that might be. Start with some small aspect, and expand from there!

Transfigure your lover before, during, and after you make love together. Without expectations! Transfigure the food you eat at mealtimes. Transfigure the act of sleeping.

An important point: Transfiguration is *not* fabrication and amplification of a false, fantasy version of the person or situation. This is what Freud calls "crystallization." Crystallization is not tantra! Transfiguration should not be an excuse to turn a blind eye to obstacles.

The point of transfiguration is to take something wonderful, however small it might be, something that is *already there* in the person or situation, to amplify that something, and to give it back, continuously. To live your life practically, aware of everything, while amplifying the exalted.

Your relationships will improve, your moods will improve, and your everyday life will effortlessly become a spiritual practice. Transfiguration can be done anywhere, anytime.."
