The Tantric path
Tantra, in its universality, is the connection we have with Life.
Inside, and by reflection, outside of us.
This connection always exists, as we are alive.
It is the awareness of this connection that we activate through the practices.
This takes many dimensions and levels of consciousness.
It requires abandoning the pursuit of Goals and objectives.
This is the teaching of the Tibetan Masters.
The sequence of practices, whether it be physical practices, breathing work,
focusing of attention, leads us to a greater awareness of our multi-dimensionality,
as well as our physical presence, even in the most subtle way.
The Way of Tantra is a path of knowledge and Wisdom
for those who wish to embark on a path of humility and truth
towards themselves and the world.
