Whore Healing
Tantra
Tantra is a Sanskrit word that means "to weave, to web, to extend".
Depending on the context, tantra can mean varying things. At base, it
is a set of spiritual beliefs out of Hinduism about the connection of all
existence. Tantra believes that what is worldly is also Divine, that the
manifested experience of our lives and all that makes it up is the same
as higher conciousness, the same as The Divine. All we have to do is fold
our understanding of the universe into itself, and all becomes a higher
weave of divine and worldly play. There is no separation between The Divine
and ourselves, we just often convince ourselves there is. This divine play
is often represented as Shakti/Shiva, the male and female principles of
the universe.
In the healing aspect of tantra, Shakti and Shiva reign and celebration
of sacred sexuality often comes into play. If the microsm of loving human
bodies of men and women are the same as the macrocosm of Divine Masculine
and Feminine, then when we celebrate our bodies, we celebrate heaven.
Breathe, be attentive, love your body, love your soul, and pass it around
the web of everything we make together.
