"Sexual cannabis use which transcended hedonism and medicine rose up in an esoteric Hindu-Buddhist tradition known as Tantra, a mystical religion which prescribes physical and mental exercises like meditation and yoga. These practices are intended to help the practicioner escape suffering and achieve enlightenment and perfection, known as Nirvana.

Advanced Tantra marijuana rituals were intense, complex and difficult. Researchers have uncovered sacred texts describing cannabis rituals, but doubt that modern Tantra practitioners still engage in such activities.

Modern Tantra has, like many other indigenous spiritual practices, been co-opted by people with little connection to the cultures, communities and environments from which the religions arose. Modern Tantra, though an important source of sexual and spiritual enlightenment, scarcely resembles the hard-core Tantra described in sacred writings like the Mahanirvana Tantra, which was composed in the 11th century AD.

Tantra practitioners believe that human bodies contain energy systems consisting of nerves, heart and spiritual elements that are linked to cosmic and nature-based energies. Males and females have differing degrees and types of energy; and yogic sexual practices unite these energies, creating "circuits" which allow participants to find new heights of intimacy and to transcend egocentric consciousness, helping them realize their timeless place in the universe. Tantric union of male and female energies is thought to facilitate universal balance and to atone for human sins against nature and the cosmos."

"There are many sayings in times past on "reclaiming your power", or "Women Power", or finding empowerment through sports or martial arts. Few ever talk about, and even fewer know about the hidden secrets and power within Tantra. Tantra as empowerment is a way of reclaiming oneself, finding out who you are, learning tools to access who you are, and then practicing the Tantra techniques, exercises and practices. Tantra allows one a way of manifesting the life you want - the abundance you seek, the lower or beloved of your dreams, the harmonious and passionate relationship and love life you desire with the one you already have, the car or house of your dreams, and so on.

Tantra is empowering because it forces you to tap into your will and draw up energies within yourself to go beyond the uncomfortable until eventually it does become comfortable. I have found no other writings or research on Tantra as self empowerment, but this is one of the biggest reasons ancient masters studied and practiced, and also taught this powerful practice."

"Positions/Techniques:

Daily Devotion

This can be very difficult to master, but is great for healing and gaining greater connection between partners. You should be locked in four places: your mouths, legs, arms and genitals. The key to this position is to master enough self-control to stay motionless.


The Scissors

This begins with no physical movement. According to the Rileys, both partners should envision an orange sphere of energy radiating from their sexual centres. Enter into a meditative state by sending your energy back and forth between each other. Contract the vaginal muscles regularly to help stimulate the male erection. This can be great before or after sex.

Yab-Yum

This is a great position for improving your connection with your partner. Sit like this for up to half an hour. Gaze into each other’s eyes and share your feelings about each other. The Rileys suggest saying things like, “What I enjoy about making love is...” and “What I don’t enjoy about making love is...”

The Nurturing Position

According to the Rileys, this position can be used to bond during an argument. Both your heart and sexual centres are connected, which certainly makes it difficult to stay angry for long. It’s also generally just a very comfortable position and is great for cuddling after sex as well."

"Out of the many different forms of yoga that you can practice, Tantra yoga is easily one of the most popular. Although rather complex to explain, Tantra yoga is basically a holistic approach to the study of the universal from the point of view of the individual. The general aim of this particular form of yoga is to expand awareness in all states of consciousness, whether waking state, dream state or sleep state.

Tantra yoga works by providing the methodology and tools that are necessary in order to achieve this, and teaches students to be able to better identify the various factors that are influencing their thoughts and feelings, so that they can lose any of those which are negative and start on their way to leading a better and happier life."

"Tantric sex requires the following conditions."

"1. If you absorb tantru or have already mastered, to apply it in life, you should stay at a constant partner. Partners may change, but it should be quite rare, because you must be well to explore their tastes, attachments, habits (including sexual).

2. For lessons and exercises, and sex (in tantre sex are, in fact, exercises, because the ultimate goal yaolovogo act is not a pleasure, and, as stated above, the achievement of spiritual Ecstasy) should be good conditions, because any noise or someone else's intervention can significantly reduce the effectiveness of lessons. It is better to engage in exercises and sex during the day, but in general it is acceptable for classes and at night.

3. As mentioned above, the method is tantry sexual proximity, with such intensity that the partners dissolve themselves in each other. If partners will not be physically scrupulously clean, their senses - smell and taste - vosstanut, and the necessary dissolution of each other will not happen. Therefore, before the sex great attention should be paid to clean the skin, oral cavity (preferably clean the surface of the tongue raid fingers or a tea spoon), genital organs.

4. By love, you must be fully raskreposcheny. Allow yourself to cry, to call, or shout during stonat suffering sexual Extase (why is it so important to have appropriate conditions - room should have a good sound insulation). If you can not deal with love emancipation, but not tantra. for you.

5. Partners perceive and recognize sexual intercourse as quite natural, organic way of weaving in their life phenomenon. They are aware of dualism universe, manifested in Luer - yang, in the plus and minus, male and female. For them, sexual intercourse - is a concrete expression of sexuality universe. Therefore, they deny the false sense of sin or stydlivosti.

6. Sexual contacts in tantre which include: poglazhivaniya, sexual games and direct communication, requires sufficient time, at least 2 - x hours. Of course, you can allocate time at all stages of contact, say, 50, 20 and 30 minutes. But the stages of sexual contact is difficult to subordinate certain time frame, and therefore planning stages duration of contact should not be (although guidance - 30 minutes for direct relations - should be present in your minds).

7. Movement of sex should be light, without effort. After all, even tantra known as tantra yoga, and yoga, to be effective, in most cases eliminates the stress. When you are stretching the body, you accumulate byproducts of fatigue, and your physical stamina is declining. (Tension has also contributed to more rapid offensive orgasm.) Furthermore, the motion should be performed graceful, rhythmically. Sex in tantre is like dance of life and should be carried out in the same elegantly, as if you danced. Rejoice flow movements, smooth your body reaction to the actions of a partner. A smooth transition from one movement to another, so that was quietly where one ends and another begins, and would present a continuous feeling of love and understanding. When you learn to move without effort, you doymete that loose sense of time, so that time in our understanding - this sequence of events following one after another. A loss of a sense of passing time leads to the dissolution of partners in each other and, ultimately, to ecstasy."

"Tantric practises are easily integrated into daily life in many subtle ways. Here is a technique and easy exercise we both use whilst going about our daily routine:

A very important muscle, often referred to as the love muscle in Tantra, is the PC (puboccocogeus) muscle. This is the muscle we use to stop the flow of urine and it is present in both men and women.

Using the PC pump in conjunction with the breath, try inhaling whilst tensing the PC muscle then releasing on the exhale. Once you have mastered that you can try a quick pulsing action or, when you feel comfortable, try tensing and holding for 6 seconds before releasing."

"Tantric sex is not just regular sex. The average -in-out-have a nice day- kind of sex is seen by those who practice Tantric sex as simply wasting energy on something that could be much more than that. Therefore, one could say that Tantric sex means taking sex to a new dimension and using it to improve the link between body and spirit and to extend the rejuvenating power of orgasm to the whole body. After all, why shouldn-t we profit from something that is in our power to do, especially since it does not take much to acquire this skill?

One of the goals of Tantric sex is to stimulate the endocrine glands to produce more hGH, serotonin, DHEA and testosterone. These hormones help improve sexual health, promote the flow of blood through the body, take out the trash (toxins, that is) and strengthen the nervous and immune systems in order to increase the overall health. A person who-s into Tantric sex feels healthy and rejuvenated without the use of substances or devices. Sex is quite enough to bring about these changes in a person. However, one must know how to engage in sex and what to do in bed in order to achieve this healthy state."

"If you are a woman that dreams of a man who will worship you—who will feed you strawberries as you lie naked on satin sheets and massage your skin with scented oil as he dusts a feather up and down your body, then read on. If you are a man who wants to deepen your sexual pleasure and improve your love relationship (which includes having more sex) then tantric sex might be for you.

What is it?
The word tantra means a tool for expansion. The heart of tantric sex is learning to see your lover as truly divine and holy. During lovemaking the five senses are engaged and an intimate connection is created between lovers using breath, meditation, and body positions. The tantric sexual experience engages the body as a whole instead of focussing exclusively on exciting the genitals in order to achieve orgasm. Not that orgasm is left out of tantric sex—many participants describe the orgasms they experience, after connecting in such an intimate way with their partner, as bliss. In fact tantra teaches that harnessing one’s desire and using the energy of sexual arousal can lead to self-realization and enlightenment. Sex as a path to enlightenment—certainly sounds better than fasting and selling your worldly possessions!"

"The guardians of the ten directions (dikpalas) are powerful personalities.

Indra to the East.
Agni to the Southeast.
Yama to the South.
Nirriti to the Southwest.
Varuna to the West.
Vayu to the Northwest.
Soma (or Kubera) to the North.
Ishana to the Northeast.
Brahma above. (zenith)
Ananta below. (nadir)

These are ancient powers, described in the Vedas, who personify, communicate and mediate fundamental life processes and wisdom virtues.

None of the dikpalas can be summed up in a word. They each hold multiple capacities, complex associations and are the subject of rich mythologies. You can research these online as a place to begin.

Each dikpala has a proper place in human life and worship. So to say that Yama is the lord of death is not incorrect, but it is so simplified, it doesn’t convey much that is useful to someone who wants to become more directly aware of aliveness of our world.

All Tantrik ritual engages with the dikpalas."
