对密宗的思考为性,就像与苹果派同义词一样。
当然,外壳是部分of the apple pie, but it’s certainly not the whole pie! Same concept applies to tantra.
“历史上,性行为是一小部分密宗派,但西方对密宗的诠释使地下的密宗的其他部分推向了卧室,卧室基于卧室,”密宗的实践者和性授权教练Sarrah Rose的Sarrah Rose说。密宗激活.
准备了解有关密宗的更多信息,包括密宗瑜伽是什么 - 以及如何获得它om? Scroll down.
罗斯说:“其核心密宗是要与自己的能量建立联系,以建立对自己的更深入的了解。”尽管some这种能量是性的,不是全部。
Like the secret ingredient in Grandma’s apple pie recipe, the exact origins of tantra are hard to pin down.
坦塔专家Barbara Carrellas,ACS,Aasect,作者“城市密宗:二十一世纪的神圣性” explains why:
“在整个历史上,当密宗被驱逐到地下时,在许多次的历史中都丢失了无数的密宗文本。其他密宗的教义从未承诺完全写作,只通过口口相传。”
没有人确切知道密宗何时开始。有些人认为古老的传统始于公元500年,另一些人说直到16世纪才出现。
凯雷拉斯说,尽管密宗在过去的一千年中演变出来,但“密宗仍然是个人解放的首要实践”。
这是一种使您能够利用能量并深入自己并体验启蒙的技术。
Good Q! Yoga is Sanskrit for “oneness” and is anything that connects you to yourself, says tantra educator Leah Piper of更多爱情研讨会.
Because tantra is about becoming aware of and whole with oneself, tantra canbe她说,瑜伽。
“Tantric yoga weaves together many yogic and meditative practices to help you get as deep an understanding of yourself as possible, so that you can accept that self,” says Rose.
密宗瑜伽可能包括:
- chanting
- 呼吸工作
- yoga poses
- 脉轮工作
- 冥想
Tantric meditation teacherHilary Jackendoff随着瑜伽在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶醒来,这是一种探索无伴侣,没有做爱或与自己共度时光的密宗的绝妙方法。
密宗瑜伽和密宗性来自密宗的两个不同分支。
传统密宗分为红色密宗和白色密宗。白色密宗是独奏实践,融合了瑜伽和冥想。红色密宗是性行为。
尽管两者都使用性能,但两种实践的目标是不同的。红色密宗的目标是与伴侣建立更深的纽带,而白色密宗则是要与自己建立更深的纽带。
尽管the Western practice of tantra might suggest otherwise, you actually can’t have red tantra without white tantra, according to Piper.
派珀解释说:“红色密宗是您将自己在独奏练习中学到的一切与情人交流的机会。”没有独奏练习?无法将其带给情人。
“Tantric yoga can still make you a better lover,” says Rose, who has used tantric yoga to help people overcomedependence on pornor erotica,premature ejaculation, 和erectile dysfunction.
Two words: spiritual liberation.
派珀说:“这不是要调理身体或锻炼身体。”“密宗瑜伽是关于呼吸,体现和用自己的身体做爱的目的。”
Experts say a regular tantric practice can help you reap the following benefits:
- 减轻压力,焦虑或抑郁症
- 更好地理解和爱自己
- 改善睡眠质量
- 增强了卧室的信心和表现
- 改善生活质量
- increased亲密的能力
The latter.
Unlike Bikram yoga, which features the same 26 postures in every class, or Ashtanga which always has the same sequence, every tantra yoga teacher will lead you through a different sequence of movements, meditations, chanting, chakra work, and breath work.
Jackendoff explains, “In one tantra yoga [practice] you might hold Downward-Facing Dog while concentrating on the throat pit (a chakra point) [and] mentally repeating a mantra and visualizing energy move through your body with your breath. In another, you might not.”
但是,根据派珀(Piper)的说法,所有密宗瑜伽课都应包括以下5个职位:
- 反转
- side bends
- 前折
- twists
- backbends
“您绝对可以独自做。您甚至不需要教练或老师,”罗斯说。
由于这种做法需要非常微妙的意识,因此对自我指导可能是具有挑战性的。一些专家建议等待独自练习,直到您理解原则为止。
“It’s a fun date idea to do your solo tantra practice in the same room as someone else,” says Piper. “It’s like fine-tuning your instruments in the same room so you can make music together later.” Hot!
是的!有各种各样的在线课程,例如SourceTantraYoga,Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving,瑜伽glo,然后Yoga International这使您无需去工作室就可以练习。
“如果您在家庭瑜伽练习中建立深深的向内重点 - 无论需要什么,并且感觉到您的运动是直接经历神的神圣门,可以成为密宗瑜伽,” Jackendoff说。
但是,如果您想深入研究古典密宗瑜伽,罗斯说:“您想与密宗师一对一地工作。”
要找到一位宗师,请在您当地的Hatha或Kundalini Yoga Studio中询问,或在线探索密宗瑜伽老师。
与CrossFit这样的课程不同,没有统治的机构可以将他们的产品称为“密宗”。
派珀说:“因为性别出售,大多数'密宗'课程只会教授密宗的性方面,而忽略了独奏的瑜伽部分。”
要找出密宗阶级是否合法,请询问:
- 您的课程是独奏还是合作?(经典密宗瑜伽应该是独奏的。)
- Are you teaching red or white tantra? (The answer should be white tantra.)
- What is the goal of the class? (The answer should suggest self-growth and self-awareness.)
- 班级包括诵经吗?(答案应该是。)
- 老师的培训是什么?(老师应接受Hatha瑜伽,整体瑜伽,Kundalini瑜伽和密宗的培训。)
另一个选择:转到任何哈莎瑜伽class.
“Hatha is the practice of developing awareness in your body and balancing your energy, so anyone doing Hatha yoga is already doing tantra yoga,’ says Piper.
Kundalini yoga is also deeply rooted in tantra yoga.
There are so many sources that “you could spend the rest of your life studying the history and many philosophies of tantra,” says Carrellas. Though, you don’t need to — unless you want to, of course.
