The Mysterious Tantra – Glossary of Terms

Tantra: The Art of Life and Love

An ancient teaching about the union of body, soul, and life energy.

Tantra is an ancient art that originated in India and was developed in secret circles. At a time of strict Hindu rules, it offered a path to inner freedom through the acceptance of the body, sexuality, and one’s own power.
It is not a religion but a practical philosophy of life.
It teaches us to seek happiness here and now, to perceive divinity within ourselves and others, and to embrace the world as it is.

"Tantra does not judge. Tantra embraces."

 
Sexuality: A Celebration of Body and Spirit

Sexuality in tantra is a path to unity and deeper connection.

Tantra teaches us to experience sexuality as a sacred act as a celebration of life, not as a sin.
Every act of lovemaking is seen as a journey beyond loneliness, an opportunity to become part of something greater.

Sexual energy in tantra is the key to creativity, joy, and inner strength.
By freeing sexuality, we open the way to a deeper connection with ourselves and with the world.

 
Kundalini Energy: Awakening Inner Power

The serpent energy that unites body and spirit.

Kundalini energy lies dormant at the base of the spine, like a coiled serpent.
Tantric practice, massage, breathwork, and conscious movement help awaken it.
As it rises through the energy centers, it connects sexuality with spirituality and awakens our full life potential.

 
The Seven Gates of the Body: Chakras
Energy centers influencing our life and health.

Chakras are invisible centers along the spine connected to our emotions, body, and energy.
During tantric massage, they are harmonized and aligned to support inner balance and open the way to a fuller experience of life.

 
Tantric Massage: A Ritual of Touch and Acceptance

An invitation into a world of senses, care, and inner peace.

Tantric massage is not merely physical touch.
It is a profound meeting where body, heart, and soul dance in the same rhythm.
Each massage is unique sensitively tailored to the receiver’s needs but always rooted in the principles of respect, mindful presence, and safety.

Touch in tantric massage is not a tool.
It is an invitation to slow down, listen within, and allow life energy to flow freely, without pressure or expectation.

"It’s not about performance. It’s about being."

 
Tantric Sex: Lovemaking Without a Goal

A ritual union of two partners in deep harmony.

Tantric sex is not focused on achieving orgasm but on the journey itself.
Through breath, gaze, and touch, partners merge and enter a state of unity where the boundary between “I” and “you” dissolves.
Lovemaking can last for hours tender, ecstatic, or silent depending on what the present moment brings.

Tantric sex is for partners and is not part of a tantric massage.

 
Yoni: The Gateway of Life

The poetic name for the female genitals in tantra.

Yoni is seen as a sacred space of creativity, tenderness, and life.
It deserves respect, care, and celebration not shame or vulgarity.

 
Lingam: Power and Creativity

The masculine counterpart of yoni, symbolizing strength and life.

Lingam is the tantric term for the male genitals, perceived as a sacred instrument of creation, protection, and love.

 
Shiva: The Power of Transformation

The divine energy of change and renewal.

Shiva destroys the old so that the new may arise.
In tantra, every man is seen as an expression of this energy a bearer of life, transformation, and inner peace.

 
Shakti: Creative Feminine Energy

The embodiment of love, vitality, and transformation.

Shakti is the living energy of love, passion, and creativity that every woman carries within.

 
Ganesha: The Guardian of Paths

The patron of abundance, wisdom, and new beginnings.

Ganesha helps us overcome obstacles and open new paths toward joy and fulfillment.

 
Lakshmi: Goddess of Prosperity and Happiness

The embodiment of inner beauty and a fulfilled life.

Lakshmi brings the blessing of happiness, abundance, and joy in everyday being.

 
Tara: The Protector of Compassion

The goddess of motherhood, care, and protection of the suffering.

Tara shows the path to compassion, kindness, and spiritual strength within ourselves and in others.

 
The Atmosphere of a Tantric Massage: A World of Senses

A tantric massage takes place in a space filled with delicate scents of rose, jasmine, or sandalwood.
Soft music soothes the mind, while gentle fabrics, furs, or ostrich feathers awaken and relax the senses.

An altar adorned with flowers and sacred symbols reminds us that every touch is part of a greater story the story of connection and reverence.

 
The Altar: The Heart of the Space

The altar becomes a silent witness to the ritual.
Symbols of masculinity and femininity, flowers, and candlelight create an atmosphere of safety and sacredness.

 
The Ritual: A Journey Inward

A tantric massage follows a ritual framework that protects both the giver and the receiver.
There is no pressure, no expectation only mindful presence, openness, and reverence for the moment.

"Tantric massage is a return to your essence."

 
What Tantra Is Not

Tantra is not a religion.
Tantra is not about performance or goals.
Tantra is not an erotic service.
Tantra is a path — gentle, profound, and natural.
A path to yourself, to others, and to a life filled with joy and conscious presence.
