What is Tantra?

Many people are drawn to Tantra because it sounds exotic, mysterious, even provocative. But what is it really about?

For me, Tantra completely changed my life — my very core.I used to think I had everything – a husband, a child, a well-paid job and yet feeling profoundly unhappy. I was sexually unfulfilled, always tired, stressed, and feeling like I never have enough time or meaning in my life. And no matter how much I did, I was feeling not enough. I tried fill my life first with things and activities: shopping, car, dancing, gym; then studying: philosophy, psychology, science, yoga, meditation, … but nothing sticked.

Does it sound familiar?

I spent years searching and finally found my empowerment, purpose and much more in the wonderous world of Tantra.

The word Tantra is often misunderstood. I believe, it is not only a profound way to spiritual awakening, sexual ecstasy and abundant life, but also a powerful instrument for healing, empowerment and rapid personal growth. 

At its essence, Tantra is an invitation to return to your natural state — a space of presence, peace, love, empowerment, and bliss. They are not something we need to gain; they are already within us. Tantra simply helps us remember.

Originally, Tantra is an ancient mystical tradition that arose in Northern India thousands of years ago. It was passed secretly from teacher to student as an embodied transmission of awareness and love — one that honours every aspect of being human as divine.

As a spiritual path it has meditation is at its core: by observing thoughts and emotions without judgment, we create possibility for transformation.

This is what we call the left brain, masculine or yang path — the way of awareness, presence, stillness, and acceptance.

What special about Tantra, it does not stop there, it reminds us this is only half the story. The world itself is built on polarity — day and night, hot and cold, inhale and exhale.

In the same way, we must unite the masculine and feminine within us, the logical and the creative, the stillness and awareness and passion, love, joy.

And that is why Tantra is considered the path of fastest transformation, we embrace all, we play with polarities.

True healing means becoming whole — embracing all parts of ourselves, the higher and the lower, the left brain and the right brain.

But change can feel frightening. Most of us carry pain, fears, and traumas that cause us to close off.We become disconnected — from our bodies, our emotions, and from others, often feeling numb, empty and lonely.

Tantra offers a different way. We combine traditional witnessing and meditation with tools like pleasure, sensuality and celebration. That’s why Tantra is called path of Bliss.

We see pleasure not as indulgence but medicine. It has the power overcome even survival instincts and dissolve fear, allowing us to open up again, to love, to trust and to live life fully.

That’s why Tantra is called path of Bliss.

In Tantra, we also see every part of us as sacred. We honour our sexual energy not as something to suppress or control, but as a creative force — a pathway to self-knowledge, empowerment, and love.This allows us to release shame, celebrate our bodies, and experience life as a living expression of the divine.

Ultimately, Tantra is a journey of love, acceptance, and awakening — a path that turns ordinary life into extraordinary experience.

Walking the path of Tantra is like stepping into a living fairytale — where magic is real, and every breath becomes a bridge between the human and the divine.
