#4.Tantra Yoga: a spiritual system based on universal laws and principles

The set of spiritual laws and principles upon which the Tantra Yoga system laid its foundation is structured in a complex network. These principles mutually support and develop each other, constituting a solid foundation upon which human consciousness is able to expand its state of awakening towards Reality.

Genuine Tantra Yoga will always start from fundamental laws and principles that allow a universal understanding, which remains the same in every age, culture or context. This is the reason why we can find traces of this system in almost all places on Earth, even under different names.

Within the Tantra Yoga system, the practitioner goes from conscious experience to realising the laws and principles that exist beyond these experiences, thus gaining gradual control over all aspects of life. There is no need for blind faith or dogmas because the practitioner of this system will replace them with the unshakeable certitude of experience.

This is the only reason why tantric practitioners eliminate taboos and preconceived ideas: not as a form of spiritual anarchy – as it is often superficially presented – but as a side effect of such an approach to evolution that allows the profound understanding of all laws and principles.

This is the path to freedom and perfection in a systematic and objective way.

#5. Tantra Yoga is a system of gradual transformation through inner alchemy

The spiritual journey in Tantra Yoga can be described as a continuous state of awakening that naturally leads to the expansion of the consciousness though the inner alchemical transformation of all that is inferior.

The Tantra yoga practitioner cultivates the courage to look at each life experience as it is, without trying to adjust it to his own convenience. The essential capacity of being and remaining aware and lucid in the middle of the most intense experiences represents a “philosopher’s stone” that triggers alchemical transformations within, leading to a gradual transformation of the entire character of the practitioner.

The Tantra Yoga system does not look at transformation as the result of privileged circumstances, but as the result of the preparation through gradual, successive transformations.

The aim of the Tantra Yoga system is to become able to gain complete control over our choices, irrespective of exterior conditions. For example, one can be happy in special conditions but the successful practice of the Tantra Yoga system will teach you to be and remain happy in all conditions. And that is possible when we discover that in our true nature we are happy.

This characteristic of the Tantra Yoga system makes it very difficult to formalise it, because alchemical transformation always starts from inside and leads towards the outside. The outer reality is a mere mirror of our inner realisations and the tantric practitioner uses the world only to learn about himself/herself. This is also a deeply moral attitude that would naturally solve most of the moral crises we have in the world today.

#6. Tantra Yoga is the path of efficient transformation of all aspects of life.

The fact that it covers all aspects of life, including those aspects that most religions refuse to deal with and often treat in a childish way, makes Tantra Yoga a system that is famous for the wrong reasons today.

Indeed, in order to obtain a much desired spiritual result, Tantra Yoga provides, among other things, efficient methods to free us from the grip of obsessions, desires and temptations. However, the way of doing this does not involve the suppression or refusal of the objects of desire, but rather their conscious alchemical transformation. Precisely through this spiritual approach, Tantra Yoga offers the aspirant a much deeper vision of life; life stops being a place filled with dangerous temptations to which the only solution is to avoid them to the greatest possible extent.

The tantric practitioner lives an intensely conscious life, full of amazing and meaningful experiences that are always lessons, which have the essential goal of awakening the practitioner even more.

In the vision of the Tantra system everything has its own importance, which is why it includes methods for the harmonious, spiritual re-integration of our sexual impulses through transforming them into superior impulses. However, for anyone to simply state that Tantra Yoga is nothing but a system of sexual yoga is plain ignorance. In reality, the tantric practitioner learns to make love in a sublime way as an amazing spiritual experience, adding it to other life lessons.

A fact which is currently misunderstood by many is how easily we can obtain elevated states of consciousness in the midst of daily life and by using the very forces which we would otherwise have to avoid. The correct and systematic application of the methods of the Tantra Yoga system enables us to discover a state of amazement, enjoyment, wisdom, beauty, inspiration and sacredness right in the middle of a life that for others is dull and unspiritual.

#7. Tantra yoga is a genuine highway for spiritual evolution

Even though a famous saying speaks about this spiritual path as being as narrow as the blade of a knife, this metaphor refers to some other aspects of the Tantra Yoga system. From the perspective of the possibilities it offers humanity, we can say that Tantra Yoga is the most accessible path for this age of individualisation and diversification.

Oftentimes we hear that Tantra Yoga is a path that is addressed only to the very few who are prepared for it, yet this is an error. Due to its structure around universal laws and principles, Tantra Yoga can be adapted to the specific needs of each aspirant, each practitioner finding their methodology, being able to tailor their path according to their needs.

This system takes everyone from where they are and empowers each person with their most suitable tools in order to make the most from this cosmic journey.
