Tantra: Not Just A Theory
It’s Like Eating a Juicy Mango Everyday

By Oceana and Icarus

Practicing Tantra can be like eating a juicy mango everyday.

Tantra can be Riding the Wave of Bliss with your Beloved through the land of Eternity.

Tantra is the way to keep a passionate, loving relationship alive until the end of your days (and nights).

Tantra is “finally coming home”.

It all sounds so simple, but definitely, not easy. By learning only the sexual and physical techniques of Tantra, you will create only temptation, not manifestation. To create a world class relationship is like climbing the tallest mountain on earth, far higher than Everest. We are the first generation to attempt conscious relationships. As pioneers, we don’t have role models. Our models were of dysfunctional and co-dependent relationships between men and women.

Relationship, if you think about it, is definitely not for cowards. It requires a conscious, committed monogamous relationship to even make it to the Base Camp. It requires a willingness to “look at your own stuff” and take responsibility for your own behaviour. It requires learning a multitude of relationship and communication skills to navigate the unfamiliar environment. If you don’t, your mango could go off, or even go out of season! It demands being in your higher self and always seeing the divine in your partner in order to survive the high altitudes. It requires good advice and support from experienced guides.

Being a Warrior in personal growth is not enough. Your core issues and childhood wounds will never be totally healed by any amount of self-love. They can only be completely healed with the person who really counts. The one you have chosen to push your buttons big time: your Beloved.

Tantra definitely is not some abstract philosophy or airy-fairy new age fad. It’s relatively easy to be a saint alone on the top of a mountain (or in a cave). But just get into relationship and see what happens. Unlike satsang or meditation, where you can sit in silence and have beautiful thoughts, Tantra requires action. Tantra requires mucking around in relationship (getting out there and actually creating a blissful reality).

What are you going to do when God is sitting right in front of you staring deep into your eyes? There’s no escaping. There’s no place to hide. There’s no putting it off until you die and go to heaven. Intellectualising is a waste of breath at high altitudes. There’s no ignoring her/him. S/he knows all of your faults, even better than you do. And in spite of them, s/he still loves you. And then, you may make love together ascending on your merged energies to a place beyond words, beyond the physical bodies, beyond the notions of time and space, and beyond Beyond.

Relationship can be an exciting path of awakening. For us, our relationship is our spiritual path.
