I, Tsuang Tse, once dreamed

I am a butterfly

fluttering back and forth

a butterfly for all purposes and goals.

I just knew that I followed my whims like a butterfly

and was unconscious of my human nature.

I suddenly woke up; and there I was again: like "myself".

Now I do not know:

was I a person who dreamed

he was a butterfly

or am I a butterfly now

who dreamed he was a person?

„The modern tantra path“

by Th. Om

The path of tantra only for couples?Many people who hear about tantra, take it for granted, that the path of tantra primarily has to do with concrete sexuality, which is why a partner, preferably of the opposite sex, must be present. Sure - because how else can you have sex? The idea of Tantra is far above such, downright somewhat naive views. In Tantra, the high school of eroticism, a goal is aimed at, which categorizations such as “single” or “couple” very simply lead ad absurdum.What does a single achieve with tantra?In certain circumstances, someone who considers himself to be single, can gain more from studying and training tantra, than a duo could. Tantra Yoga is about yourself, your body, your temple. A partner is certainly a valuable instrument - a mirror - someone who can help you, whom you help to feel the energies, ultimately to let them flow freely. However, Tantra is not just about sex between two people.Tantra breaks down emotional walls?As a single you have probably put up a lot of barricades to protect your self-imposed status. The grandiose basic idea of Tantra - the solitude of all being - is so powerful that once it comes into your consciousness, such mere conceptual boundaries, such as the concepts of man and woman, single and couple, are completely superfluous and fundamentally dissolve.How does all this help me if I want a partner but can't find one?Just ask yourself the question: “What doesn’t find a partner?” To do this, partition your thinking. What does it matter that I'm not with a woman, a man? You will quickly realize that ultimately it is simply your thinking - a level of your thinking, a part that is positioned next to whoever wants a partner but does not feel able to make it happen.The manifestation of being single in my head?Whether you perceive this stage of the time without a partner in a negative sense or rather as freedom - it is a state that has arisen from limitations, prejudices, prejudices, moralisms, ethical principles, manipulation, misinformation - your view of life. And it's the same state everyone else is in. Whether in a couple relationship or as a single. There is no difference.Tantra opens me?The goal of Tantra Yoga, regardless of all alleged currents in modern Tantra practice, is the union, the free flow of energies. The awakening of Kundalini, the rainbow serpent, a symbol of solitude, expanding over, through the seven chakras. Who should be surprised that in this union of all divine, creative energies, love par excellence, skin color, age, gender, relationship status, religion, body structure - all these judgments, distinctions, are completely irrelevant?Tantra opens up a new basis for relationships?To put it simply, the love of creation needs a place in you where it feels comfortable so that it can expand. It's always been there - more powerful than you could ever imagine. Yes, you can't really tell. The energies that you release in tantra exercises, in tantra consciousness, are like water in your dried up, desert-like garden.But I do already have a wonderful blooming garden?Depending on how you look at it. Then Tantra will be the ultimate fulfillment for you. It is important that the perfection that Tantra can achieve is to connect the sexual fulfillment, the physicality, with the spiritual level. The dissolution of the blockages in the chakras, the declared goal of Tantra, aims to do just that. Samadhi, enlightenment, is nothing more than the transcendence of body and mind, the dissolution of any difference that could even be formulated.How can I imagine Tantra in a practical way?As we can see in ourselves, the physical love, touch, sex, releases amazing energy flows in us. In tantra we learn to focus this energy. This is, on the one hand, a really down-to-earth issue of physical training, and on the other, a change in the system of thought. Tantra is holistic. Just as it is about the "erotic" body, how we prepare it for moments of the highest ecstasy, it is also about nutrition, care, and the preservation of the wonderful temple that creation made available to us.Tantra is trying to expand love?The basic idea of love is expansion. In other words: love strives to embrace everything out of us - in each of us it is - mostly asleep. The flow of energies, his striving to carry our body unhindered into the infinity of all energies - here it becomes very practical, almost physically evident. The Tantra method fills trenches, builds bridges, creates a wonderful place where love feels comfortable.So the book also is for singles?A resounding YES. The modern tantra path of Th. Om is designed so that you can get full benefit from the lessons even as a single person. Singles are carefully considered - couples experience interesting, fulfilling ways of making love for two. Tantra is the yoga of love. All physical yoga exercises are limited to the individual anyway. Even if the goal is to lift this restriction.A sacred giftThe general term "Tantra" encompasses a number of currents, different schools of Tantra. Although Tantra has to do with sex and sexuality in a very concrete way, it is not just about the development of these terms. Rather, the ancient, Vedic tradition of Tantra sees itself as a universal key to the harmonious development of the primal potential of love that slumbers in each of us. There is no separation of spirit and flesh, the body is a lust-giving sacred gift. Every minute moment in life is divine.How can I understand tantra?Is it about better sex? Many people have inadequate knowledge, too little information about the nature of Tantra - so there are some very obscure views about what Tantra actually represents. That it's about sex, about better sex, about the art of love - that much seems clear. The word tantra is also often associated with special massage. But Tantra is different - much more.Is tantra a new way of looking at the meaning of life?The fact that a new way of looking at things arises, especially when one gets involved with the goals of Hinduism, Buddhism - simply a world view tending towards non-duality - cannot fail to exist. But the practical experience in Tantra also offers completely new points of reference for sworn spiritual spirits. Experience and acquired intuition skills in the practice of Tantra broaden the spiritual horizon - almost necessarily.Tantra is a practical spiritual experience?The basis of tantric thinking is simply to place practical experience, the body and its sensations above, at least alongside, the experience of the mind and philosophy. To shape the body into a key that opens one door to the truth after the other. This attempt at transcending seems more than natural, because after all, it is the body that accompanies us on our journey. But ultimately Tantra leads, that is the goal, far beyond the mortal, perishable body.So in Tantra I don't have to give up the world?In the view that there really are no opposites, i.e. the non-dualistic thinking as the tantric "uses" it, the differences between the relative world we experience, the "samsara" and the "nirvana", the transcendent world, unavailable. For the practitioner of tantra, it is not about being distant from the world, as it is postulated in other religions, but rather about permanent liberation without actually having to distance yourself from material life. A merger, at the same time a dissolution.Are there no opposites?There is only "Universal Consciousness". Everything that we experience in terms of opposites, that which gives rise to the ominous dynamic of our way of thinking about life, is - how could it be otherwise - pure illusion. This is the ultimate truth to which Tantra Yoga also wants to lead us. Despite the attachment to the material world, it is important to build up an inner sovereignty in thinking. The mind and also the body are embedded in a greater truth that takes away all fear.Do you believe in rebirth in Tantra?In the Indian-Asian religions, reincarnation, combined with the term “karma”, is an essential basis of their spiritual attitude. The chain of these rebirths reflects the ethical quality of our way of life. Escape from this wheel of life is only possible if we allow the energies of enlightenment, liberation, to flow unhindered. In Tantra, one uses the philosophy of the chakras, the life energy, the prana, which is also effective in the rainbow snake, the Kundalini.

The seven main chakrasLeaves are assigned to the seven main chakras and, depending on the tradition or school, also colors. We want to refrain from the gods who belong to them. Each of the seven main chakras sees itself in connection with an attribute, which will be discussed in detail later.

The main chakras, rising from the bottom, are:MuladharaRoot chakra with four leavesSvadhisthanaSacral or sexual chakra with six leaves,ManipuraUmbilical or solar plexus chakra with ten leavesAnahataHeart chakra with twelve leavesVishuddhaThroat or throat chakra with sixteen leavesAjnaForehead chakra with two leavesSahasraraCrown or crown chakra, as a thousand-petalled lotusAre the chakras the link between body and mind?The chakras each have an extremely deep meaning. They represent the imaginary link between our physicality and that of the truth behind the illusions. We can transcend the errors of our life with this thought hook. By focusing fully on our bodies, we move into that "now" that other forms of spirituality are so desperate to achieve.What is this thought hook?By recognizing imperfections - here the blockage of our chakras - a term, symbolism - and declaring that we are ready to clear up this error (the imperfection) - by changing our mindset - we automatically slide into the Realm of the transcendent. It is only up to us to intensify this, to learn, to train - in order to finally reach the unified goal - the goal of all spirituality – enlightenment.Before we get into the individual devotions, there is little to say.The following lessons, called “devotion” in the Tantra sense, will familiarize you with the spiritual path of Tantra Yoga. You will learn the basics of the chakras, the nadis, the bandhas, the flow of energies. You will find numerous exercises that will help you to let your energies flow much more freely and also to control them in a certain way.External impressionsExtremely important in Tantra spirituality - after all, we work with the senses of our body - are external impressions, the spatiality, the circumstances, the setting. In practice, these are just as important as the impartial attitude of the Tantra practitioners. It may help to regard tantra, the ritual around the practice, the treading of this path as “sacred”. Whatever this may mean for the individual. Ultimately, Tantra has nothing to do with religion.Positive attitudePractitioners should try to put aside all disturbing emotions, aggression, everyday life, before starting a prayer. Create a tantra space for yourself, also in your consciousness, with the help of beautiful things. Break through everyday life, create, if you will, an enchanted “retreat”. A very important factor is time. Sensuality and the relaxed atmosphere are the starting point for the spiritual encounter that can be seen in the union of Lingam and Yoni.

"Take all the time in the world!"

Cleanliness is an important requirementAll the senses of the body are involved in your balance. Also perceive the cleansing of your body as a sacred ritual, just as it is described again and again in Buddhist, Hindu and Christian tradition. In Tantra, hygiene has a very special status. In the course of the lessons, the individual senses are specifically addressed and exercises to raise awareness are presented.In a devout, open-hearted moodEnter the Tantra retreat with an “open heart”. You are completely without guilt. Guilt is just an illusion. As a couple, take your partner by the hand, be aware of the otherness of the situation and the structure of the times.

“It's tantra now!

A harmonious, relaxed, happy gathering for the purpose of a higher goal.Put away all the worries of everyday life with your clothes.

1st devotionThe basic thought of tantra

Again and again the searcher asks himself the frightening question of how he can bring his good intentions, convictions, even his beliefs, into the world that he perceives. Mostly with the intention to change it, his world, at least for himself and his loved ones, for the better. The first step is to realize that this is perfectly easy.Separation or truthThere can only ever be two fundamental decisions in a person's faith. Either he opts for the idea of separation, division, dualism, which distinguishes between bad and good, beautiful and ugly, true and not true. Or he recognizes one thing, creation, which is love - and in which - by definition - there can be no opposites. As simple as that.A confident smileSo it is the love that stands behind us, that carries us, that is our source, our cause, our father, our mother, we are the children, we are love. This love will arrange everything for us - who we trust in her, in whom we have given her our hand so that she may guide us - so that we can follow the path to joy and happiness, to peace and tranquility - to eternal love - Walk quickly and with a confident, happy smile.Trust in loveOur perception of the world changes for the better, if we only have pure trust in creation, in love. To return to the topic: This trust in the apparent imponderables, which the world seems to make a problem for us, that urgently requires solutions, decisions, is trust in creation - and often very difficult to implement in the storm that is life seems.BodyworkHowever, it is a way of seeing yourself as a tree, that, firmly rooted, calmly defies the storms - its roots in the fountainhead of love. These roots, in the area between material reality, earth and body, as well as spiritual attachment in creation, love - we can reach them very specifically, we can strengthen them and train them. So we work with our body to better receive, implement, apply and process spiritual energies.Truth-finding instrumentThe actual goal, however, is only to recognize, the energies are already present, so to open up the holiness of being in a great, all-embracing, absolute existence of love. Every spiritual path wants to achieve this, can achieve this. Here, in Tantra, the body can be viewed as a communication tool, an instrument for finding truth, a gift from creation, a temple. We should therefore honor and respect him.Prana and KundaliniIn the conviction of Tantra Yoga, the above-described spiritual wisdom can be found, more or less materialized in the rainbow serpent, as a symbol. The Kundalini lies curled up in the root chakra, the Madhamutra Chakra - it waits to rise through the other five main chakras to the crown chakra. A very nice description that we can adopt if we are clear what the Kundalini actually means. That it is by no means manifest in material form, that it has little to do with our body in and of itself. But so much more with our mind.Dissolve blockages in the flow of energyAny physical exercises and skills in the Tantra Yoga repertoire only serve to facilitate the flow of energy in order to find peace that has nothing to do with the body, because the body is ephemeral and only an instrument. The experience of absolute love goes beyond the body. For absolute love would never do its children the disgrace of a limited body condemned to death. It goes without saying that creation created its children to be eternal. It is up to us to see that. That is the point.Chakras as a linkThe chakras each have an extremely deep meaning. They represent the imaginary link between our physicality and that of the truth behind the illusions. We can transcend the errors of our life with this thought hook. By concentrating entirely on our body, we move into that "now" where there is no longer any guilt, that state that other forms of spirituality are so desperate to achieve.Exercise(All of the following exercises should be done naked)A quiet placeTo get started with the philosophy, including the physical meaning of Tantra, you should get to know your partner more holistically. Specifically, it is about the energy flows between the chakras, which you should now feel in your partner. You have made yourself a quiet, comfortable place for the exercise.Feel the body languageStand in front of each other and look each other in the eyes for about a minute. Finally, hug each other. Let this hug last, let it be intimate. Watch your body's reactions, how your partner's body reacts, see your body language. Feel everything you can feel with all of your senses. Breathe in the partner.Explore chakrasNow sit down on your knees across from one another. One of the partners begins to explore the partner's chakras after a pause, during which one tries to imagine how a swirling aura of energy surrounds the other. We start with a very gentle, light touch of the head, where the crown chakra is located. There is energy in every chakra. Try to feel this energy with your palms - you can also touch your partner's head lightly, caress him in small waves. The person touched in this way, concentrates entirely on the corresponding chakra, on the partner's hands. He himself remains passive.From the crown chakra to the root chakraWith this gentle, feeling way, you can now explore all the chakras of your counterpart. From the crown chakra to the forehead chakra, to the larynx chakra - to the heart chakra - to the solar plexus chakra and finally to the sacral chakra, to the root chakra. Linger at each of the chakra points for a few minutes, touch your partner. First and foremost, try to feel the energy flows that are definitely there.

Feel the energy centersYour partner will now, when you have finished the exercise for yourself, in return, just as carefully, track down your energy centers. Then you have finished the small practical introductory exercise and can, if you want and it is opportune, leave yourself to your very own, individual intimacy.Exercise for singlesDo you love each otherHug yourself with both hands. Caress yourself like this with your arms wrapped around your torso. Feel your body, feel your hands, try to feel the energies present. Increase the pressure of each individual finger on your upper body, holding this pressure for about 15 seconds at a time. Feel the sensation.Visualize chakrasNow lie flat on your mat, a pillow is sometimes helpful. Relax. Now focus on the Crown Chakra, at the very top of your head. After a while of concentration, you will feel a tingling sensation. Now take both of your hands and slowly bring your palms to the crown chakra. Try to feel the energy. Finally, stroke your scalp in slow waves. So gently follow the chakras with your hands, stroke them, try to visualize them, to feel them.TasksAn important exerciseUntil the next devotion tomorrow, you should train your butterfly muscles. The more often, over a longer period of time, you do this exercise, the more you will notice a rapid change. At the end of the book you will find very basic exercises that you should do at least once a day. Further exercises are presented in the course.

2nd devotionThe concept of the body and the chakras

A wonderful instrumentWe're talking about the body. So the tool that lets us perceive the world that we have created with our ideas. We speak of matter in a scientific sense, at least in a way. Before we move on to looking at this body in the proper way, some basic information is necessary. We want to understand our body in such a way, that it serves us for our benefit, towards the path to truth.Much nothingWhat is the body ?A scientific approach leads us to the fact, that more than 97 percent of the body is made up of water. Water, in turn, is molecular matter. It's made up of atoms. If we imagine an atom schematically, we have an atomic shell on which a few photons and such are circling, in the middle the atomic nucleus. If you imagine the atomic nucleus as big as a soccer ball, it is around 90 kilometers from the nucleus to the photons on the outer shell.We are energySo that's 90 kilometers through nothing, because there is nothing between core and shell. That means, purely scientifically and well-founded, according to the algorithms and premises of our society, we consist of 99.99999996 etc. percent NOTHING. The fact is, all we are that exists, is energy. Our body is light, the light of love, just not visible to us.The separationFor it is also with the body, if you look at it in this way, just like with the mind, which is caught in its way of looking at it by the rope of dualism. Here, too, the strict rules of separation prevail, here too, thick cloths and bandages of darkness, death and disease, of suffering, envelop the functions in chaos.Path to truthBut the body, our temple, is something that we think, we understand, with which we identify. So it is only extremely logical that there are a multitude of answers here, that a clear path to the truth is also drawn here. After we have understood, that our corporeality is a very real, tangible, palpable, illusion of energy, we can carefully approach it in the value of the experienced, perceived world. To describe the energy body, we lean on old Buddhist, Hindu, simply spiritual traditions and use the terminology of the chakras.Symbolism onlyBefore we go into the chakras, one thing should be made clear. The separation, the division of the body's energy, its supposed splitting off into individual energy centers, chakras, can only be symbolic. Rather, it should be imagined as a pearl necklace whose pearls are transcended into a wonderful, large, single pearl. In all scriptures that deal with the chakras, certain properties are assigned to the individual centers.Diversification is to be rejectedWe can agree with this, but it is always clear, that one chakra characteristic depends to a large extent on all the others. In the following, only the seven main chakras are mentioned. We fundamentally reject any division, any diversification, and thus any separation. This is also where the thinking in most of the scriptures, strays far from the source thought.Exclusivities don't workAs soon as hierarchies and exclusivities are in place, things can fundamentally no longer work. But since we are more or less trapped in this world of separations and preambles, they are exactly the way out of this seemingly hopeless situation - but only if they are used in accordance with the original idea of creation, the source, namely love. Just as creation does for us, if we are only willing to give ourselves to it, to trust it.Let the love flow!Even if all of this sounds very spiritual, we can very easily translate, what has been theoretically presented here, into reality. It's not that difficult. If we look at our body, we can divide it up, assign seven so-called chakras to it. These are the centers in which the body absorbs, stores and reproduces energies. All of this is a very sacred matter, because our body, given out of the love of creation, is a gift from God - made for us out of pure love.Spirit and bodyIt is important to appreciate it, but we should not reduce ourselves and our being to the body. A joyful and happy minded mind also leads to a healthy body. All limitations we face, are only for our own good, even if we cannot see it in the perception of our very personal reality. As we can see, the whole thing is an extremely exhausting, almost nerve-wracking affair. But we can find peace.Categorization dissolvesIt is of the utmost importance to recognize that the path to truth, to light, explicitly leads away from any categorization. How could it be otherwise, since the goal is to be able to truly recognize that everything is one. The cause of all suffering and every need in this world of images of the past is only dualism, the division into good and bad, the judgment.Judgment on chaos is pointlessThis is where the veiling of separation begins and here it ends. Anyone who recognizes, that a judgment about this chaotic, unpredictable world is pointless and in vain, that it is a judgment about nothing, no longer has to refer to his physicality, much less divide it into individual areas of responsibility. That can only be a cane, a help. But by giving these chakras pictures and assignments, we can use them as instruments, tools.The seven chakras
