Make Tantra Your Wellness Practice for the New Year
As the clock turns midnight this New Year’s Eve, many will resolve to make 2025 their year for health. If you want to increase your wellness and happiness, practicing Tantra can be completely transformative. Tantra is an ancient practice shown to improve wellness and longevity. It is also something that can awaken and open your heart and soul to a whole new you. This year, resolve to gain the many benefits of Tantra.
Enhanced Body Awareness
One primary benefit of Tantra is its ability to cultivate a heightened awareness of the body and mind. Tantra encourages people to tune into their physical sensations, breath, and energy, which creates a deep connection between the mind and body. Practices such as conscious breathing (pranayama), meditation, and mindful movement help you to become more attuned to your inner self. When you practice mindfulness, it will translate into all parts of your life making you more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical state. That awareness can be a powerful tool for stress management and emotional regulation.
Stress Reductions and Relaxation
Tantra focuses on breathwork and meditation, which are both excellent practices for combating stress. The controlled breathing techniques of Tantra’s practice trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s relaxation response. By activating the parasympathetic system, Tantra helps to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and it brings on feelings of tranquility and calm. Tantra also helps to release tension, which further enhances your ability to relax.
Improved Physical Health and Vitality
Tantra might be primarily a spiritual practice, but it has many physical benefits. When you engage in Tantra techniques, you can improve your overall health and vitality. Tantra promotes circulation, detoxication, and energy flow, all of which lead to overall wellness. Mindfulness and breathing help to improve your body’s energy centers, or chakras, which ensure that energy flows freely throughout your body. The enhanced energy flow promotes physical healing. Also, Tantra’s emphasis on cultivating sexual energy has been linked to improved sexual health. By learning to harness and circulate sexual energy, you can experience an increased libido, better sexual function, and a great sense of connection with your body.
Emotional Healing and Growth
Tantra offers profound benefits for emotional well-being. The Tantra practice is designed to help people release emotional blockages and past traumas, which allow them to heal and grow. It also helps to release repressed emotions and negative thought patterns. Tantra works on the assumption that emotions are an integral part of the human experience. Therefore, by learning to embrace them, rather than suppressing them, you can learn to heal. Tantra also promotes emotional resilience so that you can learn to build a healthier relationship with your emotions. When you develop a healthy relationship with your feelings, it can lead to greater self-acceptance, inner peace, and emotional balance.
Deeper Connections in Relationships
One of the greatest benefits of Tantra is its ability to help deepen romantic and sexual relationships. It offers tools and techniques for couples that help to create deeper and more connected bonds with one another. Partners are encouraged to explore intimacy beyond physical pleasure and cultivate a space where love, trust, and communication can flourish. Tantra emphasizes the importance of conscious sexuality, which teaches people and couples how to be present during their sexual experiences. Being present allows for more fulfilling and transformative sexual encounters. That can help to strengthen the bond between you and your partner and foster mutual respect and understanding for you both.
Spiritual Awakening and Personal Transformation
Tantra is a path that will awaken your spirit. It recognizes the divine within things and helps to teach people to see the sacredness in themselves, others, and the world around them. Tantra encourages the integration of the physical and spiritual realms. The spiritual benefits of Tantra are transformative, and they lead to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and a profound sense of connectivity with the divine. It encourages people to embrace their true selves and awaken to a higher state of consciousness.
Increased Personal Empowerment
Tantra fosters a deep sense of personal empowerment. When you learn to connect with and trust your inner wisdom, you can develop self-confidence and a stronger sense of autonomy. The empowerment realized extends beyond yourself and can lead to more fulfilling relationships, career success, and a greater ability to manifest one’s desires.
Cultivating Gratitude and Joy
Tantra promotes an overall sense of gratitude and joy. When you focus on present moments and embrace the beauty of life in all its forms, you cultivate a deep appreciation for what you have. Mindfulness and exploration help you rediscover the simple joys of life and reconnect with your inherent sense of wonder. Having an attitude of gratitude can have far-reaching effects which lead to happiness, contentment, and a positive outlook. You are able to bring more light, love, and positivity into everyday experiences.
Tantra is much more than just a spiritual or sexual practice—it is a holistic path for personal transformation that integrates mind, body, and spirit. The benefits of Tantra are vast and multifaceted, from enhancing physical health and emotional well-being to deepening relationships and fostering spiritual awakening. Tantra offers a powerful way to connect with your inner peace and cultivate a more harmonious and fulfilling life. If you want to realize a deeper understanding of yourself and experience joy in the new year, add Tantra practice to your resolve in 2025.

Rediscovering Tantra: What It Is – and What It Can Do for You
For most people, the word ‘Tantra’ conjures up either a sense of intrigue or misunderstanding. Popular depictions of it are often narrow, to say the least, focused almost exclusively on a sexual practice or misrepresented as something prickly, esoteric, or inaccessible. The reality of Tantra, though, is far richer, more meaningful, and with a transformative potential that is unmatched by anything else. We are all rediscovering Tantra every day.
At its heart, Tantra is awareness, love, and energy-based practice that has the power to positively impact your body, mind, and spirit. In this article, by busting through some key myths about Tantra, I hope to reveal its real purpose and give you a taste of how it can potentially transform your life.
Common Myths About Tantra
Myth 1: Tantra Is Only About Sex
Perhaps the most enduring piece of misinformation is that Tantra is only about the body and sexuality. Yes, Tantra can enable deeper intimacy, but it is not simply about sex. It is a philosophy that prioritizes energetic, emotional, spiritual, and sexual connection. It is about creating a relationship with yourself and others that allows for unparalleled openness to experience your lives together.
Myth 2: Tantra Is a Religious Practice
While Tantra grew out of a tradition that is thousands of years old, it is not a religion nor is it a rigid set of beliefs. Because it is a fluid practice, it is available to anyone, regardless of religion or spirituality. Tantra is a means to develop awareness and harmonious living. Tantra originated in India as a spiritual practice. But it is all inclusive of all that you are: body, mind, spirit. It does not condemn sexuality as something impure or sinful. Instead it embraces sexual energy and works with it to reach a fully realised state of consciousness.
Myth 3: Tantra Is Complicated or Intimidating
Another misconception is that Tantra is for those well-versed in it or those who must perform some elaborate set of rituals. In reality, Tantra is as accessible as they come. Practices such as breathwork, mindful touch, and meditation are the building blocks of Tantra, and they can serve as your daily touchstones. At Waves Tantra, we want to meet you where you are, with accessible practices and techniques.
Myth 4: Tantra Is Only for Couples
Although Tantra has become known as the path to better sex within a relationship, it is also a potent resource for individuals. Practices done alone, such as self-massage, can help you let go of internal blocks and reconnect with the life energy in your body. Tantric practices can be used whether you’re single or coupled, to deepen your divine connection and your capacity to enjoy life.
Myth 5: Tantra Requires Physical Contact
Another misperception is that Tantra is always a practice that involves touch or physical contact. Of course, touch can be a part of Tantra, but it’s not the whole picture. Tantra also includes practices that bring the breath or life-force into the body, as well as meditation and energy-alignment practices. These can all be experienced without any physical contact, making Tantra accessible to anyone who feels uncomfortable with touch but still wants to explore its philosophical or spiritual aspects.
What Tantra Really Is
At its core, Tantra is a meditative practice and energy management that encourages you to connect with yourself (and others) by being fully present in the moment.
Through practices like:
- Breathwork: Conscious breathing to balance energy and calm the mind.
- Touch Therapy: Mindful touch to foster emotional connection and release tension.
- Meditation: A tool for self-awareness and spiritual grounding.
From seeking personal transformation to deeper intimacy with an existing partner, Tantra offers a path to greater awareness and connection in all areas of our lives.
The Transformative Benefits of Tantra
Practiced with intent, Tantra can enhance every aspect of your emotional, physical, and spiritual life.
- Emotional Healing: Through Tantra, you will see obstacles to your heart—past traumas, unspoken feelings, unexpressed longings—and find a place within yourself to love and embrace them.
- Improved Intimacy: For couples, Tantra improves communication and leads to shared experiences, which develop trust and intimacy.
- Stress Reduction:Breathwork and meditation alleviate stress, calm the mind, and help you recenter.
- Enhanced Self-Awareness: Tantra helps you listen to your body and emotions to learn what you need and want. In turn, you can become more pleased with your life and your relationships.
- Embodiment: we largely live in our head, our mind. Tantra guides you back to being present in your body and actually trusting and inhabiting your body and your senses.

Why You Should Give Tantra for Couples a Try!
Not everyone is comfortable discussing sex. In American culture, sensuality is not something that most people talk about openly, if at all. Our society has stifled our exploration and discussion of sex and associated it with shame, taboo, and guilt. The hidden nature of the subject has made it difficult for people to find guidance and education related to it. Tantra for couples helps to lift the veil of secrecy and forge meaningful connections in your relationship.
Regardless of how long you have been together as a couple, Tantra focuses on opening up lines of communication and connecting, or perhaps reconnecting, with others on a sexual level. The goal of Tantra is to experience a deeper sense of joy, fulfillment, and satisfaction sexually, which transcends into all aspects of your relationship.
The Gifts of Tantra
By practicing Tantra, you can develop skills that help to:
- Find a deeper consciousness with your partner
- Overcome limitations to sensuality and connect, or reconnect, with your partner
- Overcome mental, physical, and emotional gaps that prevent you from connecting fully with one another
- Learn to both receive and give
- Reconnect and reignite love by finding your sensuality
What is Involved in the Practice of Couple’s Tantra
There are many ways that Tantra can help you reconnect with your partner to form a greater and more meaningful bond. These ways include:
Couples Coaching
Most people are not given a handbook on intimacy and are forced to muddle through it alone. Couples Tantra coaching guides you by enhancing your ability to communicate your needs and wants. Coaching is only verbal communication, but it can grow into a somatic, body-oriented session if desired.
Private Tantra Coaching
Waves Tantra provides a private space where you can open up to one another sensually. It can also be accompanied by guidance and the introduction of techniques that help to enhance your experience of Tantric Sensuality.
Private Tantric Massage Lessons
Lingam and Yoni massage are an important component of the Tantric practice. Setting up a private massage lesson can help to enhance your sensuality and ignite and enhance your experience.
Tantric Intensive
Sometimes, sessions can last a day or perhaps an entire weekend. These sessions can be in your own home, or you can schedule them while on vacation. Often, the sessions are combined with individual counseling and coaching to provide the guidance necessary on all levels of the practice.
Due to the shame and guilt that is often associated with sex in our culture, many people don’t have the knowledge, skill, or guidance that will help them connect, or perhaps reconnect, with their partner. Tantra is a practice that has been around for centuries and it helps people focus their energies for a more natural flow to enhance their sensuality. If you would like to find a deeper and more meaningful connection with your partner, couples Tantra might be the answer. Waves Tantra is a safe space to explore and heighten your sensuality and bring you closer together as a couple for a happier and more fulfilling love and life.

Tantra – A Practice to Awaken A Woman’s Sensuality
In American culture, women are taught that their sensuality is something to keep under lock and key. There is a taboo around a woman openly exploring sex or discussing it. The secrecy and discretion around talking about one’s sensuality often leaves women with very few resources and information related to the expression and experiences associated with it. Once more, there is a prevailing undertone that can make women feel guilty, unchaste, and shameful about the enjoyment that is a part of the experience itself. Tantra is a practice that has been used for thousands of years to focus the energies of a woman’s sensuality and enhance their love and overall well-being. It is a means to help women open up, focus their energy, and awaken those parts of themselves that are often repressed.
What is Tantra?
Historians say Tantra is between 2000 and 5000 years old, or potentially older, as we continue to discover older civilizations. Tantra involves focusing one’s energy to discover and explore their sensual awareness. It can help to heal past trauma, develop a deeper connection with your partner, and explore your own sensual awareness in a safe and guided space. In essence, Tantra teachings use different modalities to heal your body, mind, and spirit.Tantra affects all aspects of our being/ life. It’s a way to embrace life fully and to not separate spirituality and sexuality. Tantra is also a meditative practice, especially traditional Tantra which focuses on attaining awakening the Kundalini energy and enlightenment.
What are the Benefits of Tantra for Women?
Women are taught to suppress their desires and sensuality. Because sex is usually intertwined with feelings of guilt and shame, it is usually not discussed openly, or at all. The intention of Tantra is to bring the discussion of sex and one’s sensuality out into the open so that a woman can let go of limiting beliefs and energy blocks and fully ignite their empowerment. Tantra can help to:
- Make you feel more genuine and authentic
- Be more in tune with your body
- Allow you to feel free and empowered
- Find joy and fulfillment
- Ignite feelings of awakening
- Find healing from past traumas
- Experience “Energy Orgasms” or “Full Body Orgasms”
- Feel sensuality throughout your body instead of localized
Is Tantra Right For You?
Tantra is not for everyone, and you might be asking whether it is for you. Often women don’t embrace their feminine power because of the indoctrination of chastity in our culture. Tantra is not only about sex, it is a powerful tool used to attain spiritual realization. When you practice Tantra, it can help to transform your entire life by establishing your voice and creating self-assurance and boundaries in all aspects of your life.
The Benefits of Waves Tantra
One of the most important aspects of the practice of Tantra is finding a practitioner with the right qualifications. It is also very critical that you feel at ease with your Tantra guide. Waves Tantra provides a safe space to explore your sensuality in the way that you are most comfortable with. Leela provides individual coaching, breath and energy work, couples coaching, massage, and guidance to find your authentic self. Leela will meet you at your comfort level and design your session to meet your individual needs.
Our culture is not very open to sex or to talk about it. That often leads many women to feelings of shame and guilt related to their sensuality. Tantra is a practice that seeks to help women find empowerment and the self-assuredness to embrace their sensuality in a healthy and spiritual way. If you are looking to heal from past trauma or are ready to deepen your sensual experience, then contact Waves Tantra today to get started. Tantra practice is something that can transform your life and wellness.

Exploring Multiple Orgasms for Men: A Path to Greater Intimacy and Pleasure
There are a lot of assumptions and misunderstandings about male sexuality, especially relating to pleasure. The concept of multiple orgasms for men is perhaps the most misunderstood and fascinating. Men are believed to be able to orgasm only once, followed by a long period of recovery time—but is this actually accurate?
Wielded by men, Tantra offers a means of dissociating ejaculation from orgasm, which, in turn, allows for multiple orgasms and a more vital, satisfying sexual experience. How exactly does Tantra guide men toward this potential, and what are the far-reaching blessings this teaching bestows upon intimacy, liberated pleasure, and self-consciousness?
Understanding Male Multiple Orgasms
Fable though it might seem—for many men, male multiple orgasms are quite possible. The reason is that orgasm and ejaculation are not the same thing.
In human beings, orgasm is an explosion of sensation—it begins with a wave of electricity that sweeps through the lower spine and the pelvis. At its height, this wave is a peak, a release of sensory intensity and tension. Tantra teaches how to control ejaculation in the moment of orgasm so that a man can “have his cake and eat it to”—he can enjoy the peak sensations of an orgasm without the physical exhaustion that often follows.
The Role of Energy
Tantra sees sexual energy as a powerful life force that can be captured and circulated. Rather than wasting this energy in ejaculation, men can learn to hold back, practicing multiple small releases for the same wave of pleasure and sharing this intense energy with themselves and their partner.
Misconceptions About Male Sexuality
The notion that men can’t make love again for a while after they’ve ejaculated is a myth—but it’s a myth only if ejaculation occurs. This is because ejaculation essentially releases the energy out of your body with the ejaculate. If orgasm and ejaculation are split apart, the refractory period is bypassed and you don’t lose energy, you increase energy. This also leads to a greater, more expanded orgasmic experience. Also referred to as “a full body orgasm”.
Energy Orgasms are said to have self healing properties while an overindulgence in ejaculation can lead to depletion and exhaustion.
And if a man learns to have energy orgasms, he will be able to stay aroused much longer which leads to a deepened intimacy in his love making with his partner.
Tantra’s Approach to Male Multiple Orgasms
Tantra offers techniques for men to develop multiple orgasms, all of which involve energy awareness, breathwork and true grounding in the body.
Breathwork
Tantra emphasizes a form of conscious breathing: deep, connected, abdominal breathing helps men to become aware and comfortable with their arousal levels and keep a calm center when stimulated. In Tantra we use specific breathing techniques to guide the energy ignited in your pelvis upwards the spine, essentially traveling through your chakras (energy centers) This, in turn also helps to delay ejaculation, ideally until a chosen point in time. Some people actually choose to not ejaculate at all or not all the time, once they discover their ability to have energy orgasms.
Muscle Control
Pelvic floor exercises, particularly Kegel exercises designed to strengthen the pubococcygeus muscles (PC muscles) around the penis, provide a crucial foundation for learning to ejaculate without orgasm.
Developing your PC muscles will give you greater control over your physical responses, enabling you to experience longer burning orgasms and repeated orgasms without ejaculation.
Benefits of Multiple Orgasms for Men
Learning to have multiple orgasms not only makes physical pleasure easier to achieve but also has profound positive effects on emotional intimacy, confidence, and sexual well-being.
- Improved Pleasure: More constant contact and multiple orgasmic waves intensify the pleasure.
- Increased Intimacy: Learning to move and share energy increases emotional and physical intimacy.
- Better Sexual Health: Control over arousal and ejaculation decreases performance anxiety and increases confidence, encouraging a more leisurely and pleasurable sexual life.
Waves Tantra’s Guidance for Men
At Waves Tantra, men are initiated into the possibility of multiple orgasms in a gender-neutral atmosphere free of shame. The sessions with Leela, a certified Tantra therapist, are tailored to each individual based on their needs, intentions and comfort level.

- Safe Space: Waves Tantra provides an environment where you can explore sexuality and energy without judgment, fear, or embarrassment.
- Holistic Growth: Sessions focus on both physical techniques and emotional and spiritual growth, helping men become more deeply connected to themselves and their partners.
Practical Tips for Getting Started
If you’re interested in exploring multiple orgasms, here are some tips to help you get started:
- Slow Down: Take it easy, especially in the beginning.
- Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to the signals your body sends and what it needs.
- Breathe Deeply: Slow, deep breaths can calm your mind and help to feel grounded and confident in a state of arousal.
- Pelvic Floor Exercises: Practice Kegel exercises to build the muscles needed for ejaculatory control.
- Mindfulness: Dedicate time to tuning into your body and energy, either through meditation or in solitude.
Make Your Dream a Reality
Multiple orgasms aren’t just mythical for men—they are an achievable reality. When practiced correctly, they can generate profound intimacy, create new flavors of pleasure for both partners, and boost self-awareness.
Waves Tantra is here to assist you in opening up to your full potential and experiencing a deeper connection with yourself and your partner.
