This week, Amerai Career, tantra facilitator and collaborating therapist of the Psychology, coaching and personal growth centermensalus, presents Tantra to us as a path of personal growth that goes beyond sexual practice.

What doors does the art of Tantra open for us?

Tantra is an integral and holistic path that helps us to bring attention to our interior. instead of getting lost in what is happening around us.

This interesting practice helps us to move and channel our own energy, awakening consciousness, in order to become more balanced people, present and capable of integrating any experience as part of our experience. Tantrics seek happiness, harmony and liberation through daily spiritual practice..

This meditative practice helps us find peace and disidentification from the ego, leaving behind patterns ancient, healing wounds, unlocking the body and freeing the mind from those beliefs that limit us. We use sexuality beyond enjoyment, our own pleasure and the pleasure of the other. Sex develops deep facets of affectivity and personality awareness.

Learning the art of transmuting sexual energy requires an open mind and breaking with what we have learned or been taught up to now. It's not an easy job, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

Does this holistic path only relate to sex?

Not really. It is true that most people use this term to refer to activity related to sex, but Tantra goes much further. However, it is true that it is a path of surrender and that, unlike other spiritual paths, it does not renounce sexuality.

What is the role of sexuality in Tantra?

Sexuality is very important in our life: it is the motor and source of energy. We can live it as something boring, routine and empty, or we can experience it as something natural, beautiful and creative. From Tantra we consider it as a practice that drives us to evolve and celebrate life in a state of fullness and joy. In short, all this work gives us a better knowledge of ourselves and gives us a greater awareness to live in freedom and grow loving.

So that, Can we say that Tantra is a tool that facilitates personal growth? Actually, it is much more than a tool. The path of Tantra is a path of unlimited growth, a deep and constant awareness of the here and now. Tantra proposes as a challenge to be the spectator of your daily film and, at the same time, the director of it. With Tantra we understand that the "how" is more important than the "what" of the things we do and experience.

Who are the Tantra workshops you do for?

The Institut Mensalus workshop is aimed at men and women who are in search of a greater mental, emotional, energetic and physical balance.

People who want to learn to feel, love, meditate and transmute sexual energy. In our sessions we discovered that, in the context of relationships, sexuality and joy are portals to spiritual awakening and the expression of love. There are many who can ask themselves: "Is it done? Does the sex end here?" Good.

In the workshop we learn the secrets of conscious love that enrich sexuality and relationships, thus offering an answer to said emptiness. In short, attendees discover the art of Tantra through a journey into the depth of their hearts, feeling and putting more presence in each act of your life, transforming the sexual act into a constant gesture of love and gratitude.

What would you say to all those people who are reading this interview?

I would ask them the same question that I ask the workshop participants: how much time a day do you have for yourself? How much time a week do you have for your relationship? The answer is a starting point for deciding if it's time to look for new tools that facilitate both connections.

When one begins to invest time and energy in self-discovery and physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self-empowerment, that is when, little by little, is able to feel and understand what and where true love is. To finish, I would like to remember that sexual energy is creative energy, it is transformative, healing, liberating and it does not have to be only localized or focused in the genital area.

If we stop to think, the origin of our existence is born from this wonderful energy. So why is there so little interest or education in learning how to handle it and channel it properly? From the art of Tantra we learn, without a doubt, to get the most out of it that it deserves.
