There is a saying that goes like this;

“If you don’t control your mind, your mind will control you.”

It is the same with the sexual energy.

Sexual energy in particular is a powerful and mighty force. In our modern world, that energy has been left unharnessed and allowed to run and behave in any way it pleases.

The sexual energy, in fact, is a major unconscious driving force for most of our actions, emotions, and behaviors in daily life.In order to reach tantric dimensions in sex you must learn

how to master energy. The sexual energy must be understood, controlled, directed, and ultimately mastered. It is here that this phenomenal innate force of nature propels you to achieve extraordinary things in life, and you are no longer a slave to it.

4. Practice Makes Perfect

Great tantric sex is not only about lovemaking and the physical acts of sex.

To reach those starry heights Tantra sex promises, you’ll more than likely need to unlearn some old habits and adopt new techniques.

It is vital to understand the principles of how sexual energy really works.

This goes for both in men and women….

You must first learn to control this energy in yourself, first.

Then eventually, in practice with your sexual partner.

That is when the real magic happens.

Just like any skill that’s worth learning, becoming a skilled tantric lover takes time, practice, and patience.

5. Be Wary of Imposters

To appeal to the masses, many of the core principles of tantric sex, have been corrupted or eliminated altogether.

There are many misconceptions around tantric sex.

So if you’re seeking to learn and experience real, authentic tantra sex, look for teachers that align with a traditional lineage.

Tantra is at least 1000 years old. It’s best to find a teacher who has been taught by other teachers, who were taught by others etc. who follow the original teachings of Tantra.

Please avoid the modern, self-styled ‘gurus’ who have eliminated the spiritual aspect of Tantra or warped it in a way that is anything but spiritual.
