Th. Om - The modern Tantra path

Pure Prana

Close both your eyes. Well, after a little while, when you get used to the position, both of you try to synchronize your breathing. Try to breathe very calmly at the same time. Concentrate on your partner's breath while doing this. Imagine if this breath were pure energy that connects with yours and intensifies. Lower your breathing rate.

Feel warmth

Apply very light pressure with both palms of your hands, imagine that your hands are on the partner's body with constant warmth flowing through them. Mentally visualize your desire to activate existing life and love energy and let it flow, away from all mundane externalities. Before your concentration wanes, change positions.

At the end of the exercise, you can end the devotion with light circular movements towards the shame of your partner and further caresses, just as you like.

Your palms

In addition to the meditation exercise above, do this: Sit in the lotus position. Place your right hand, with your palm open, on the area around your heart, the left hand touches your abdomen, at the level of the navel, towards the abdomen. Close your eyes, feel your breath. Breathe calmly and steadily, trying to lower the breathing rate. Feel the warmth in your palms as it builds up.

Love flows

Concentrate fully on the breathing that you can feel with your palms. Imagine the love energy flowing through your whole body, from the palm of your hand on your heart to the solar plexus down to the root chakra, your lower abdomen. Before your concentration wanes, finish the exercise after a few minutes, just as you like it.

Tasks

Butterfly muscle

Again, you should definitely do at least one of the training sessions to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The PC muscle, also known as the butterfly muscle, is an extremely important instrument, which we will go into in more detail later.

Quite apart from Tantra and yet in the middle of it – contraception What is this topic, namely contraception, doing in a book about tantra? We ask back: Why is contraception not even rudimentarily mentioned in any of the common Tantra teaching pieces? It is incomprehensible. Because the union in the act of love is laid out from creation to the generation of new life. With all the energies that we are trying to direct here. Breath of new life? To put it in a very exaggerated way: The sperm, the breath of new life, is not dealt with in great detail, if at all, in most Tantra treatises, holy indeed, but just ... The fact is, for example, the sperm are formed by regular Training the Tantra methodology is even more flexible. As most of you will be aware, when the lingam is excited, the clear droplets of pleasure already contain seeds. Fears? One thing is extremely important in Tantra: your state of mind. How do you feel? Safe, secure? Fear has no place in Tantra, but it still appears. By dissolving the blockages, we also want to dissolve fears. What could be the fears that arise in connection with tantra? There are fears of contact, the fear of getting lost, of being too clumsy, of having an ugly body. All that emotions and feelings that can be resolved on a spiritual path. Pregnant? One fear that can become a major stumbling block is very concrete and also physical, not influenced by the psyche, the Shakti's possibility of becoming pregnant. Fear of an unwanted pregnancy can become a major problem for both partners. Only when we can live out our sexuality without fear and worry are we on the right track.

Society Requirements? To create new life - that seems to be the task of man and woman, of Shakti and Shiva. But having a child is not always opportune. Society has high demands that not everyone can meet. So it is important to prevent. One should be clear that one is, so to speak, messing with creation in the craft, but - we have a free will given by creation. The "p ill" unsuitable The conventional contraceptive methods - the pill, a pessary or the condom - are, in descending order, unhappy or useful for tantric practice. The so-called “pill” should be rejected for various reasons. It represents a chemical intervention in the woman's body system that negatively affects all energies. It considerably reduces the effectiveness of the tantric exercises. Shaktis living with this solution should consider switching to natural contraception. The pessary, the condom? The pessary represents a foreign body. Here it is important that mostly plastic, a chemically manufactured product, (There also pessaries in copper) is placed at a very central point of the root chakra. This affects energy frequencies. But it is exactly the same with the plastic condom. With an open, intelligent look, taking things into account, the last two methods are quite possible, while the pill is viewed very critically.

Natural birth control methods

There are numerous natural contraceptive methods in order to get rid of these disturbing elements during energy play, during sex. We're not talking about fried tadpoles or fish bladder condoms. The so-called "Coitus Interruptus" has also proven to be very deceptive in the course of mankind. We now briefly introduce the most common natural methods, completely without chemicals.

Observation of the cycles

Natural contraception clearly means knowing the fertile and non-fertile days of the menstrual cycle. Depending on the purpose of observing your cycle, avoid having sex on fertile days - or push your abilities to the limit. Generally speaking, you need to be patient. You should watch yourself closely over several cycles.

Hormone dependent?

When observing your body, a number of factors play a major role. On the one hand the body temperature, on the other hand the nature of the so-called cervical mucus. Roughly speaking, if the mucus at your vaginal outlet is slippery and pulling, streaky and rather transparent, this indicates high fertility, but if it is rather dry, white, maybe even crumbly, the risk of becoming pregnant is lower. This has to do with the estrogen and progesterone that change the cervical mucus in such a way.

Progesterone?

With the temperature method, you record a slight increase in body temperature lasting around 2 days after ovulation. The temperature rises by about 0.2 to 0.5 degrees, due to the hormone progesterone mentioned above. After the 3rd day of the phase of a slightly increased body temperature, the Shakti should be sterile until the next menstrual period. The measurements should always be taken on the same day, in the same place (e.g. in the vagina).

Combination of methodology?

The second method, the Billings Method, works through the cervical mucus, as explained above. The third method is the Knaus-Ogino approach. Here, the woman's temperature is observed over six months, and then, purely arithmetically, after subtracting mean values, the fertile and infertile time is determined. A combination of all three methods, at least the first two, seems to make perfect sense. Incidentally, the cervix also changes cyclically.
