What is Tantra Meditation


John Kaldawi was inspired by the meaning of Tantra, which predominantly means "technique", which in Hinduism, it is associated with godness called Shaktism, then Shaivism and Vaishnavism.  The Hindu and Buddist tradition on Tantra influenced other religions like Jainism, Sikhism, Daoism, and Shinto.  The word Tantra appeared in the hymns of the Rigveda with the meaning of "weaving".  Furthermore, and in an example, Atma-Tantra also means the "Theory of Atman or soul".

Doing more research, John learned that Tantra is when action or a thing once complete becomes beneficial in several matters to one person or to many people.  Tantra is also defined as a combination of texts, techniques, rituals, monastic practices, meditation, yoga, ideologies that are freely selected based on personal preference, or master-disciple developed, or guru related.

John Kaldawi also learned that Tantra is also defined as systematic quest for salvation or spiritual excellence, by realizing and fostering the divine without one's own body, one that is simultaneous union of the masculine-feminine and spirit-matter, and has the ultimate goal of realizing the primal bliss state of non-duality.  Tantra is a great thing to get to know and discover for oneself.

Animal postures, Yogasanas and Prana

John Kaldawi learned that in ancient times and through observation, the rishis understood how animals live in harmony with their environment and with their own bodies.   They understood, through experience, the efforts of a particular posture and how the hormonal secretions could be stimulated and controlled by it.   For example, by stimulating the rabbit or hare in shashankasana they could influence the flow of adrenaline responsible for the 'fight or flight' mechanism.   Through imitating animal postures, the rishis found they could maintain health and meet challenges of nature for themselves. Furthermore, John Kaldawi learned that Prana, vital energy, which corresponds to 'ki' or 'chi' in Chinese medicine, pervades the whole body, following flow patterns, called nadis, which are responsible for maintaining all individual cellular activity.   Stiffness of the body is due to blocked prana and a subsequent accumulation of toxins.   When prana begins to ...
