Tantra… encounter life as it is meant to be

A couple of years ago one of our guests became very emotional doing, bare feet, a walking exercise in soft grass at his temporary comfort zone. At home he was not allowed to walk bare feet. Without even thinking about this first, walking in the soft grass wasn’t just a sensation for him. It filled up his whole being. He felt totally released by expanding his awareness when the grass massaged his feet and his feet massaged the grass. The connection with the earth. It was a kind of understanding the body, mind and soul connection again.

At that time he took a period time, doing a Villa-Asia program, to shake up his live a bit. A personal ‘pit-stop’. Taking a road for himself less travelled and moved beyond the confines of his well-known comfort zone at home. Inviting him to work on personal mastery and to explore and realize his true potential.

And without even knowing or adapting on the experience, his unconscious mind immediately woke up to give him this, conscious, wake-up call. A deep inner happy feeling of aliveness, soaking up life.

Back home he discussed, changed the situation and felt much more connected / rooted and happier. Where a pleasant experience can be able of…

Most of us live at such a frenetic pace that the quality of awareness has eroded. Internal and external influences - responsible for change of lifestyle, ‘protection’ barriers, body veils and armouring - make things even worse. Walking around as a kind of Russian Matryoshka doll. And though we seek in this covers or “garments” the freedom of privacy and safety, most of the time they work deep inside as a personal harness and a chain. Covering the possibility to listen to our deep inner personal requests. 

How to soak up life again? That question brings me to Tantra, which I am currently studying to get my certificate as a teacher. And please, reading this blog, understand Tantra beyond the stereotype “concept” that Tantra just is about sex. Buddhist Tantra practices most of the time have nothing to do with sexual practices. They are a divine means to enlightenment through discovering the unique identity. So, Tantra offers many different layers/options.

The word Tantra comes from the ancient Sanskrit words tanoti (which means “to expand”) and travati (which means “liberation”). This implies that you can be liberated by expanding your consciousness, your quality of awareness.

It is an adventurous journey of again discovering your senses, energy and sensations as they are meant to be. An awakening of senses (and what they are able to provoke) and energy. An interweaving of the energies of many levels of consciousness from the ordinary to the most intense. A (spiritual) path for integrating body, mind and soul connection.

Exploring this can be a revelation called fully living (again). Bringing greater sense of aliveness to your existence.

There still are ways to really ‘connect’ in a more and more disconnecting world. You only have to take a pit-stop and start with yourself. Tantra is one of the ways to encounter a free life in real connection.
