At its essence, tantra combines meditation, movement, breath, and sound to assist the body's chakra energy system to open. (Never mind about that; what about the sacred sexuality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neotantra)?)

This opening allows dormant energy to move up from the pelvis, along the spine. The movement of this life-force energy can help heal us by loosening constrictions in the body that have developed over time.

The expansion of the energy body increases sensitivity, empathy, and the ability to connect with others.

The expanded ability to connect with an intimate partner draws many to tantra. Aside from improving communication and intimacy, tantric practices can expand the energy body toward a higher purpose — meditative absorption, cosmic union, merging with the breath called prana or chi.

There are ecstatic benefits to tantra in an of itself. And it feels good to practice it for its side benefits with a partner. How can we be open or intimate with anyone else when we have yet to be it with ourselves?
