Thanks for coming to UmaaTantra.com!

Welcome. The powerful materials available on this site lead directly to enlightenment in one lifetime. They are the essence of authentic tantric meditation, yoga, qigong, bodily conditioning, and sexuality, without dilution and without dogma. We make them available as special reports, audio cd's, dvd video, and in live teachings, with full support on everything we teach.

What is Tantra?

Tantra is a contraction of the sanskrit words "tanotti" and "trayotti," meaning "expansion to liberation." It is a rich practical science, divided into numerous systems, each suited to a different human personality type. Each system of authentic tantra utimately reveals spontaneous and primordially pure enlightenment. We present several of these systems, but we warn you - tantra is not for everyone!

What is the Goal of Tantra?

Enlightenment is the goal of every practice in authentic Tantra. Tantra includes meditation, exercise, sexuality, ritual, visualization, performance, dream awareness, more - in short, all activities in the realm of human experience, but performed in a special way, so as to bring about the practitioner's awareness of their own enlightened nature, then continually amplify and extenf that awareness into mundane life.

But isn't Tantra just Eastern black magic?

There are darker, grosser practices which some call tantra. These magical practices are often performed selfishly, without regard for their karmic repercussions. Examples are rituals to take riches from others, to achieve childbirth when barren, to ascend in social status, to gain command over spirits and humans, and even to achieve "bloodless murder" or incite wars. We do not teach this selfish, deluded form of Tantra here.

What about "Tantric Orgasm" and "Neo-Tantra"?

Various New Age sex practices also exist today called "new-age tantra", "neo-tantra", or "modern tantra". Most of these are heavily marketed (and heavily diluted) versions of maithuna, often taught by students of Osho, who was not himself a lineage tantric. Neo-Tantrics claim to focus on prolonged and multiple orgasm as a transcendant state of being. In traditional tantra, sexual bliss may be used as one step in realizing the ever-present union of bliss and wisdom that is enlightenment.

We can safely say that the wisdom bliss of authentic tantra is far more enjoyable than the "tantric orgasm" of neo-tantra. But in the New Age "Market," as in any other, sex sells, and expanded orgasm is an easier sell than enlightenment. The techniques used for expanded orgasm are not really tantric secrets at all, just Eastern Sexology from ayurveda and taoist medicine. The new-age sex rituals, g-spot worship, and politically correct lovemaking of Neo-tantra fast become spiritual dead-ends for students and "teachers" without knowledge of a complete tantric yoga system.

What characteristics must I possess to practice authentic Tantra?

A practitioner of authentic tantra must possess certain character traits to succeed: persistance, self-motivation, compassion, at least one experience of true happiness (joy, love, bliss) in this lifetime, at least one experience of recognizing the profound in all things mundane, and a driving desire for enlightenment.

If you are such a person, tantric methods represent the fastest path, and the most powerful tools you may ever come across...

But if you lack the above characteristics, tantric methods may do you and those around you more damage than good, distorting your perceptions of reality and amplifying ego and negative personality traits... There is no place in tantra for hapless sheep, curiosity seekers, nihilists, or self-loathing true believers. To sucessfully practice tantra, you must yourself be a brave and loving explorer of reality, weeding out good advice from poor...

What is Umaa Tantra's view - the view of Non-dual Tantra?

Tantra says that ultimate truth, the enlightened state, is not something apart from you that must be "achieved". Rather, tantric yoga helps one to reveal one's primordially pure enlightened nature. It then amplifies the experience of realization... With persistance and delight, you can use the authentic tantric methods and attitudes revealed in Umaa Tantra's learning products to realize the miraculous within your own enlightened nature, to spontaneously act yourself for the benefit of all, while living an outwardly normal, grounded, prosperous, and happy life within society.

Who or What is Umaa Tantra?

Umaa Tantra is merely a name...In the Himalayas, Umaa (Uma) is the anthropomorphized principle of enlightened wisdom energy; Tantra is expansion of the human personality and consciousness into "divine" personality and universal consciousness

5 Simple Principles In Tantric Yoga:

1. Relax & Expand your sensations, feelings, and awareness.
2. Breathe and Circulate Prana (Qi) in natural harmony through the internal and external cosmos, developing awareness and abiding in awareness of sushmna nadi at all times...
3. Use experience, memory, dream, and symbolic imagination to live in and amplify your positive emotions into powerful tools while acknowledging, transforming, and releasing your negative emotions. Steps 1. - 3. will arouse kundalini naturally.
4. Practice stillness, quiet, and one pointed focus so that absorption (samadhi) becomes your natural state. Act always from the wisdom derived from abiding in this state. Wisdom comes from the clear light emptiness of sushumna.
5. Live in awarenes of bliss, emptiness, and their union at all levels of existence, from the mundane to the subtlest tremor of the divine within you. Experience all as the unity of existence and voidness, the pulsing continuum of opposites and polarities.
