fits into the concept of Tantra, and I mean Tantra here in the broader sense as an umbrella term that includes all schools of thought, is to see it the way that Christopher Hareesh Wallis describes. Christopher Wallis is a renowned Tantra practitioner-scholar, who has dedicated much of his life to studying and practicing the original teachings of early Classical Tantra. According to him we can view tantric sexual practices with reference to three areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Neo-Tantra<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hatha Yoga<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original Tantra<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:'Roboto Condensed';}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d87c3b-76\">Sex and Tantra is most commonly associated with Neo Tantra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So in neo-tantra we have many of the ideas and practices that are probably most popular, and most known among today\u2019s western culture. Neo Tantra is usually what most people think of when they hear the word Tantra, or Tantric sex. So most of the practices and techniques from these popular workshops and tantra festivals cannot even be found in the original Tantra sources, and they come for more recent western teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Neo-tantric ideas began around 100 years ago with figures like Pierre Bernard and Aleister Crowley, who combined various concepts, including Taoist influences, to create a form of \u201ctantric sex\u201d that wasn\u2019t part of the original tradition. Later, in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s Neo tantra became hugely popular due to the teachings of the Indian guru Osho. Today, many people pass down these teachings, thinking they are practicing an ancient lineage, but this version of Tantra doesn\u2019t reflect what is found in the classical Tantric texts.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:'Roboto Condensed';}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_33756b-c7\">Sex and Tantra can weave together in Sacred Sexuality.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not to say there is no value in those teachings. Neo tantra certainly has a valid and powerful role to play in helping many people with healing and personal transformation. Today more and more people are becoming conscious of their sexuality, and the need to heal from the conditioning and trauma of unhealthy early experiences with sex. But to fully understand Tantra we should bear in mind that those practices aren\u2019t original Tantra. In fact the therapeutic sexual practices of neo tantra can more accurately be called sacred sexuality, rather than authentic Tantra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have covered this topic of Neo tantra in more depth one of my previous episodes\u2026 Episode 27, titled, <a href=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/blog\/tantra-basics-part-2-history-of-tantra-from-classical-to-neo\/\">What is Tantra? Part 2 From Ancient to Modern Tantra.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In traditional Tantra, there are no sexual techniques aimed at enhancing pleasure, lasting longer, or achieving more intense orgasms\u2014concepts often associated with Tantra today.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_754b34-f4 .kt-block-spacer{height:50px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_754b34-f4 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#a9a8a8;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-5140_754b34-f4\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:19% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1685 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/yutantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Podcast-Cover-Art.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_a20c7a-6e\">The Tantric Life Podcast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Listen to the podcast episode of this topic on your preferred platform, here: E40 Tantra &amp;

One specific practice, mentioned in the Tantraloka text, Such as, for example, the Kula-y\u0101ga ritual, from the Tantraloka text. That ritual is an example of an advanced form of sexual meditation that is not about physical pleasure but about merging one\u2019s energy and consciousness into a state of blissful oneness. In this ritual the tantric practitioners engage in sexual arousal, but with the aim of becoming merged with Divine consciousness. You can learn more about that secret sex ritual in my earlier podcast, episode 38, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/blog\/tantra-desire-awakening-secret-teachings-of-sexual-energy\/\">Tantra, Desire &amp; Awakening: The Secret Teachings of Sexual Energy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So original Tantra certainly recognises and understands the importance of sexual energy. It\u2019s really central to tantra that we allow ourselves to feel our sexual desire, that we understand it and accept it as part our human nature\u2026 which is also Divine. This sexual energy is just as Divine as transcendental consciousness. The difference between original Tantra and Neo Tantra, or at least the more commercial neo-trantra, is that sexual energy is to be used as a means of spiritual growth, personal growth, and awakening and expanding our consciousness, our awareness of the Divine within us. It is not about trying to have longer orgasms, or more intense sexual pleasure and longer-lasting love-making sessions, as much of neo-tantra teaches.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:'Roboto Condensed';}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_98e6de-5e\">Hatha Yoga, Tantra and Sex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s also useful to consider hathayoga in this context of sex and sexual energy, again to clear up some common misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people mistakenly believe that it is Tantra which teaches to withhold your sexual climax\u2026 which for men would be what we call semen retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact this practice of semen retention, or for women withholding the clitoral orgasm, is something that comes not from Tantra, but from hathayoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Christopher Wallis talks about in several of his blog posts, Ha\u1e6dhayoga places a strong focus on preserving and transforming sexual energy. The goal here is to sublimate that energy, which is a little different from what we see in the classical tantra teachings.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:'Roboto Condensed';}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_d9d0ec-00\">In Tantra, the sexual fluids are highly sacred<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when we look at the teachings of Abhinavagupta, one of the most important figures in the Kashmiri Shaivism tradition, the approach is distinct. He doesn\u2019t talk about retaining semen or sexual fluids, as you might find in Ha\u1e6dhayoga. In fact, his practice emphasises ejaculation as a sacred act. The mingling of sexual fluids \u2013 from both partners \u2013 becomes an offering to the divine. That sacred union, the combined essence of man and woman, is offered to the Linga, which is seen as one of the highest possible offerings in tantric ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Ha\u1e6dhayog\u012bs were more focused on harnessing the sexual energy to develop&nbsp; siddhis, or spiritual powers, that could arise from conserving sexual energy. They believed in holding back, and retaining all the energy, including semen, and channeling it that energy upwards through the body. In Ha\u1e6dhayoga, sexual energy is seen as a subtle substance called bindu, and the aim is to raise that energy to the crown of the head. Interestingly, these practices aren\u2019t found in the tantric texts \u2013 they\u2019re unique to Ha\u1e6dhayoga. Especially in early Ha\u1e6dhayoga, this was a major focus: learning how to pull that sexual energy, that bindu, upwards through the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Christopher Wallis hatha yoga almost certainly developed from early tantra, and he cites some scholarly evidence to illustrate this, which you can read about on his blog if you want to delve deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it\u2019s really interesting to see how the specific ways and intentions for working with sexual energy kind of evolved and developed, with Tantra having its emphasis on using sexual energy for liberation and enlightenment, whereas hatha yoga had more emphasis on using that energy to develop spiritual powers, or siddhis. It\u2019s almost as if Hatha Yoga developed as a more intense and hardcore practice, with a greater emphasis on strength of will power to gain control over the body, while Tantra continued as a somewhat softer approach, allowing the body and emotions more freedom to just be as they are.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:'Roboto Condensed';}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_8a2f11-00\">Next up&#8230; Kundalini and Sexual Energy in Tantra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that is clearly seen in both hatha yoga and tantra, is the concept of Kundalini and its association with sexual energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that will be the focus of the next post on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_dc51a9-20 .kt-block-spacer{height:41px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_dc51a9-20 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#717070;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-5140_dc51a9-20\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be interested in these other posts about Tantra&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/blog\/tantra-desire-awakening-secret-teachings-of-sexual-energy\/\">Tantra, Desire &amp; Awakening: The Secret Teachings of Sexual Energy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/blog\/tantra-basics-part-2-history-of-tantra-from-classical-to-neo\/\">Tantra Basics Part 2: History of Tantra from Classical to Neo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_d31b04-cb .kt-block-spacer{height:41px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5140_d31b04-cb .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#717070;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-5140_d31b04-cb\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5140_dcdec4-09\">References:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallis C.

Drawn to the spiritual journey from a young age, he explored yoga philosophy and traveled through India in search of deeper truth.

With a background in psychology and life coaching, he discovered Tantra as the bridge between deep spiritual practice and the sensual, emotional fullness of human life. Through Tantra and Shadow work, Jamie broke through the patterns that had long blocked him in love and dating. This inner work led to the manifestation of a deeply fulfilling relationship\u2014one rooted in both soul and authenticity. Now, he supports others to awaken, heal, and align with their full spiritual and human potential, especially in the realm of sacred love.","sameAs":["http:\/\/yutantrabuddyboss.local"]}]}},"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5140"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5151,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5140\/revisions\/5151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yutantra.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
