WHAT "LOWER TANTRA" IS...

Lower tantra: Transformative practices which integrate your physical and energetic bodies.
These include hatha yoga, "tantric sex," kriya yoga, laya yoga, tibetan trul khor, taoist and
buddhist qigong, and more.

Each of those practices includes relaxed controlled breathing, postures, physical sensitivity
practices, internal muscle contractions, sexual techniques, mental and emotional attitudes,
and awareness of the subtle anatomy (energy centers, channels, and vital breath). They are
designed to increase your awareness of your subtle energy body, to teach you to manipulate,
balance, and amplify the subtle energy in the body, and to safely "arouse kundalini sakti."

Skeptical? In biological terms, you are learning to rejuvenate and reactivate your endocrine
glands and central nervous system, increasing nerve "links" between the brain and the rest of
the central nervous system. In the process you gain relaxed control over your "involuntary"
bodily systems, and can attain and maintain a relaxed, focused mind.

Lower tantra has special sexual practices ("tantra yoga" and taoist "dual cultivation") done
with a lover, and solo practices, including laya yoga, tantric hatha yoga, and tantric kriya
yoga.

I must emphasize that the solo practices are necessary whether or not you have a lover.
Lovemaking has great inherent emotional, hormonal, and sensual power. It can amplify and
accelerate the development the solo practices give you. However, just using the sexual
practices without solo practice will leave you incompletely developed and imbalanced.

Without the balance of solo meditation, the great joys of love can easy swing into sadness
and feelings of loss. You must realize the nature of happiness is not externally dependant.
You cannot do this if you don't have a practice outside of the bedroom.

Lovemaking is a spiritual tool for those with a genuinely loving attitude. If the biggest
interplay in your sexual life is about power, or neediness, or vanity, and not about love, play,
happiness, and freedom, then sexuality will be your biggest obstacle on the spiritual path.

Sex will increase your ego, increase your emotional and somatic blockages, increase your
unhappiness, increase your neurosis... Lovemaking, on the other hand, will open your heart
even further. By allowing yourself to dissolve into the experience of lovemaking, you can go
beyond the "veil" of reality as you conceive of it.

Remember: Lovemaking! Not Sex! Also remember, it is the attitude that makes it
