Modern tantra and ancient tantra

There is a difference between modern tantra and ancient tantra, regarding their practices, goals and interpretations. Here are some key differences:

1. Historical context:

  • Ancient Tantra: Tantra is an ancient spiritual tradition dating back thousands of years in India. Originally, tantra was strongly rooted in spiritual and religious practices and aimed to achieve enlightenment and spiritual growth through rituals, meditation and yoga.
  • Modern Tantra: Modern tantra usually refers to a contemporary interpretation of traditional tantra. It often focuses less on religious or spiritual goals and more on self-expression, personal development and improving intimate relationships

2. Goals:

  • Ancient Tantra: The main purpose of ancient tantra was to achieve spiritual growth and enlightenment by controlling the body and mind. It included complex rituals and meditative practices.
  • Modern Tantra: Modern tantra often focuses on increasing awareness, pleasure and connection in intimate relationships. It can involve sexuality, as well as emotional and spiritual aspects of relationships.

3. Sexuality:

  • Ancient Tantra: In ancient tantra, sexual practices were often part of rituals, but they were approached with deep spiritual and symbolic meaning. Sexuality was seen as a means of achieving divine unity.
  • Modern Tantra: Modern tantra sometimes places more emphasis on sexual aspects and may include sexual techniques and exercises to increase intimacy and pleasure in relationships. However, it is important to note that modern tantra can vary widely and is not always sexual in nature.

It is crucial to understand that modern tantra is a broad and diverse term, and different people and teachers may take different approaches. Some may focus more on the spiritual aspects, while others may focus more on improving intimate relationships. What is important is that whatever form of tantra you choose to explore, it should be practiced with respect for your own boundaries and comfort levels, as well as those of your partner.
