1st devotion
The 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 truth

There 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 smile

So 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 love

Our 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.

Bodywork

However, 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 instrument

The 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 Kundalini

In 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 energy

Any 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 link

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 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 place

To 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 language

Stand 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 chakras

Now 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 chakra

With 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 centers

Your 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 singles

Do you love each other

Hug 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 chakras

Now 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.

Tasks

An important exercise

Until 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.
