Th. Om - The modern Tantra path

Exclusivities don't work As soon as hierarchies and exclusivities are in place, things can fundamentally no longer work. But since we are more or less trapped in this world of separations and preambles, they are exactly the way out of this seemingly hopeless situation - but only if they are used in accordance with the original idea of creation, the source, namely love. Just as creation does for us, if we are only willing to give ourselves to it, to trust it. Let the love flow! Even if all of this sounds very spiritual, we can very easily translate, what has been theoretically presented here, into reality. It's not that difficult. If we look at our body, we can divide it up, assign seven so-called chakras to it. These are the centers in which the body absorbs, stores and reproduces energies. All of this is a very sacred matter, because our body, given out of the love of creation, is a gift from God - made for us out of pure love. Spirit and body It is important to appreciate it, but we should not reduce ourselves and our being to the body. A joyful and happy minded mind also leads to a healthy body. All limitations we face, are only for our own good, even if we cannot see it in the perception of our very personal reality. As we can see, the whole thing is an extremely exhausting, almost nerve-wracking affair. But we can find peace.

Categorization dissolves

It is of the utmost importance to recognize that the path to truth, to light, explicitly leads away from any categorization. How could it be otherwise, since the goal is to be able to truly recognize that everything is one. The cause of all suffering and every need in this world of images of the past is only dualism, the division into good and bad, the judgment.

Judgment on chaos is pointless

This is where the veiling of separation begins and here it ends. Anyone who recognizes, that a judgment about this chaotic, unpredictable world is pointless and in vain, that it is a judgment about nothing, no longer has to refer to his physicality, much less divide it into individual areas of responsibility. That can only be a cane, a help. But by giving these chakras pictures and assignments, we can use them as instruments, tools.

The seven chakras

Leaves are assigned to the seven main chakras and, depending on the tradition or school, also colors. We want to refrain from the gods who belong to them. Each of the seven main chakras sees itself in connection with an attribute, which we will go into later in the text.

The main chakras, rising from the bottom, are:

Muladhara Root chakra with four leaves Svadhisthana Sacral or sexual chakra with six leaves Manipura Umbilical or solar plexus chakra with ten leaves Anahata Heart chakra with twelve leaves Vishud dha Throat or throat chakra with sixteen leaves Ajna Forehead chakra with two leaves Sahasrara Crown or crown chakra, as a thousand-petalled lotus

Exercise

Definitely essential Are you in a pleasant room, atmosphere? Today we want to deal with an extremely important methodology for opening the chakras, for removing blockages. It's all about meditation. There are individual meditation methods for each chakra. Here we have an exercise that works towards all chakras, balances them, heals and cleanses them. In the now Lie on your back on your mat. A pillow under your head can be very valuable. Lie comfortably, feel the ground. Hands with palms on the floor. Now close your eyes. Your thoughts go to your breath. Now just briefly observe your whole body mentally, let go of everything that is in any way burdensome. Be in the moment. How detached from disturbing thoughts ("Shavasana" means "in the dead position". It means, the body is completely relaxed - stimuli from the outside world are of no interest. It revolves around your very own, inner universe.) Connect with the underground, the earth. Feel how the ground holds you, how gravity hugs you. Let go of your thoughts, cuddle up in this feeling of embrace. Each digit from 1-30 and one breath from the fron t Relax. Here is security, here is a constant, here it is stable. Feel the energies that are around you ,flowing through your body. Be focused and sensitive. That is energy and light. The Universe. Now concentrate fully on your breathing. Then count, starting from one. At the beginning, each digit is a breath. 1 inhale - 2 - exhale. 3 - Inhale - 4 Exhale … Keep counting and breathing Well, after a little while, you can reduce that breathing rate. Slow down the pace. Calm. Keep counting, breathe calmly. When you get to thirty, start over with 1. Concentrate fully on your breathing in conjunction with the numbers. Do not allow any other thoughts Banish all other thoughts by focusing on counting and breathing. Now feel a gentle wave of sensation, (is it a tingling sensation? Is it warmth?) roll from your toes up your legs and thighs into your abdomen. It takes time, but you can feel this wave. Warmth lingers in the lower abdomen If the wave reaches your root chakra, also the sexual chakra, the energy lingers there, it takes a while until it goes up further. Sometimes, often, this requires more intense training. But you can feel the energy in the two lower chakras very clearly. A relaxation widens, which can also be expressed in small flatulence, belly rumbling. Every number a breath Now imagine that with every number - with every breath - you are feeding energy into an imaginary field around your abdomen. Breathe light and glowing energy into your abdomen. Don't let the ego's numerous tricks to distract you with other, seemingly far more important, thoughts, interfere with you. Focus on the calm breathing, the corresponding numbers, the energy that you can feel in your body. Back to reality After about 10 to 15 minutes of trying to withdraw completely into this space of energies that you have created, to feel the power flowing from your legs up into the root and sexual chakra, lingering in your lower abdomen for relaxation worry, bring yourself back to reality. Clench your fists, prepare - open your eyes, place your hands with your palms on the area around your heart.

Empathize

Take a little time, have a cup of tea, a glass of red wine, have a bite to eat. Share your experience, think about what you felt.

Exercise

Breathing - always extremely important

In Tantra there is a constant flow of energies. It has a lot to do with breathing. For today's exercise, the partners lie flat, on their side, in the so-called “spoon position” next to each other. If you lie back, you put one arm under your partner's head so that you can reach the upper chest with it. His palm is there. He places the other palm on the partner's stomach, at about the level of the belly button, towards the abdomen.
