- Tantra Practitioner / No Sexual ContactTraditionally, Tantra was an ancient spiritual practice integrating various techniques like yoga, meditation, and breathwork to achieve spiritual growth and oneness with the universe. In the early 1900s, Neo-Tantra, also known as Sacred Sexuality, emerged as a modernized version focusing on integrating sexuality and spirituality. Neo-Tantra often emphasizes partner and sexual practices to enhance pleasure while honouring the idea that sexuality and spirituality are interconnected. Tantra sessions, suitable for singles or couples, aim to expand and liberate spirituality and sexuality through communication, touch, intimacy, and spiritual practices. These sessions may involve talking, breathwork, yoga, meditation, and body touch or massage to foster a deeper connection with oneself and others.
