Tantra is a set of spiritual practices that direct the universal energies into the practitioner, thereby leading to liberation. Meaning “to weave” in Sanskrit, the term is derived from two words: tanoti, which means “to stretch” or “to expand,” and trayati, which means “liberation.”
Tantra yoga refers to the Tantric perception of yoga.
Tantra, a belief system which originated in India, praticed by a small number of Hindus and Buddhists. Tantra has become a synonym in the West for unbridled sexuality; however sexuality per se is only one facet of this elaborate spiritual practice, as a representation of the union of the soul with the Goddess. A deep study of Tantra can take a lifetime, and is not for the undisciplined or the thrill-seeker.
