Tantra: philosophy and practice

The origins
The word "tantra" has Sanskrit origins and translates as "loom" or "warp", therefore it indicates that everything is connected, therefore nothing separates human beings from the universe. In short, the universe is like a fabric and therefore everything is connected.
But "tantra" is also translated into "doctrine", "technique", "essence", "system" and "principle": all versions that refer to the concept of text and therefore to the fact that it is a set of spiritual teachings and esoteric traditions . All coming from Indian religious cultures, contaminated with Hindu, Buddhist and Jain ones.

The philosophy
Tantra was then imported from the East and immediately took hold in the West as a philosophy that celebrates life and is based on the "here and now." A discipline of development and evolution, capable of touching all aspects of being human: physical and mental, but also emotional and spiritual. Tantra thus highlights love, manages to find its right centrality. And remembering (or finally realizing?) That love is the essence of our life can only have positive repercussions on the sexual sphere.

The amatory art
From philosophy to amatory art the step is short. And so, once you have recovered the right dimension of love, it is also possible to have a happy and satisfying sex life. Thanks to tantra we discover that pleasure is achieved not only with penetration. Some examples? According to tantra, kissing is a tool fundamental erotic and second only to coitus, a similar argument can be made for the fingers that the man can use to provoke an orgasm to his partner; the tongue, which can be moved in several directions, can be a very tempting "weapon of sensuality."
