Meditation is frequently used in Tantric practice. It constitutes the central point, the core of Tantra.

It can take different forms. A sitting meditation form in which the invitation is to observe the respiratory flow or to visit different parts of the body. Another forms are guided visualizations or active meditations.

Active meditations are precious to Tantra. They can include cathartic, centering and anchoring phases through body movements.

In these times of stress and outer chaos, these phases are often an essential prerequisite so that the practitioner can more easily experience inner silence.

Within this silence there is a space in which the body is motionless, relaxed. Thoughts are like clouds in the sky: they pass slowly without being able to catch on or are motionless. Desires, emotions no longer quiver. The encounter with OneSelf can take place. Meditation ceases to be a practice and give way to the meditative state.

The regular practice of meditation allows  this meditative state to grow. It’s a  precious help to walk the path of Tantra. Osho said that in order for meditation to be successful, three essential points should be followed:

1. Be relaxed (not to seek to control the mind or fight the ego, to have a relaxed body during  practice).

2. Be an observer of what is happening without intervening.

3. Be neutral (do not judge the movements of the mind positively or negatively).

It is this meditative state that allows the practitioner of Tantra to approach and tame powerful energies such as sexual energy or the energy of anger for example. It becomes possible for the tantrika to transmute these energies. He uses their astounding potential to open a path of creation of beauty and ecstasy for himself and for the world in which he lives.

The good news is this: although the practice of meditation requires discipline and commitment, the Tantric path is not a path of physical or mental austerity. Joy,  celebration of life in all its aspects are also invited in these meditative practices. Accepting what is without judging helps to regulate the relationship to oneself and to others and to stay in the energy of the heart.

Apart from Tantra workshops, there are also one-hour meditation spaces in the morning or in the evening which are planed. If you want more information contact us.

Sharing circles are precious spaces within the framework of a Tantra workshop.

The secure and supportive framework allows everyone, if they wish, to reveal themselves in their authenticity. The words heard, welcomed by all, open a space where light, beauty, but also shadows and wounds are unveiled. By allowing themselves vulnerability and by sharing their intimacy when it is felt to be right, participants have the opportunity to break free and reveal themselves to the world in all their magnificence. It is not uncommon for a person’s sharing to resonate with others. Everybody may bring back into everyday life precious insights. Finally, speaking out loud helps to anchor awareness into reality.

A Tantra group is also an opportunity to share experiences with one or more other people. Interaction is not the goal but a tool which helps to bring out awareness, energy and ecstasy. In the same way that fire arises from the meeting of a match and a scraper; vitality is revealed in the presence of the other.
