Traditional Tantra

Tantra is amongst the oldest spiritual traditions from the east. It has its roots in the Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist traditions and is essentially a path to enlightenment. What differentiates it from other spiritual philosophies is its use of the body as well as the mind as a tool for greater awareness. Traditionally Tantra is practiced using highly stylised rituals. These would include specific body postures (Mudra), meditations and visualisations often involving geometric art forms (Mandalas and Yantras), and also repetitive recitals of particular words (Mantras).
