Tantric practice is a complex system of meditation and ritual derived from the Indian philosophical and spiritual traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It comprises a variety of paths, practices and techniques which include mantra recitation, mantra yoga, breathwork, visualization, physical exercises, chanting, and working with a spiritual guide. These practices are used to explore inner and outer states of consciousness and to open up a deeper connection to embodied wisdom, intuition and inner knowing. Tantric practice is primarily focused on cultivating spiritual insight, emotional stability and cultivating greater love, joy and peace within oneself.
