Grow As We Go
057- What Is Tantra?
A solo episode with Sam, as she shares her own journey through this fascinating landscape, seeking deeper intimacy and genuine connection. Sharing personal stories of searching for intimacy & connection, with a side of sacredness, honoring, & appreciation and how she's found it through the exploration of tantra.
The term "Tantra" comes from Sanskrit, where "Tan" means to expand and "Tra" means to liberate. Think of it as a magical weave connecting the physical and spiritual realms, where sexual energy isn’t something to shy away from, but rather a powerful life force that can elevate our consciousness. While many religions tend to sidestep this intimate energy, Tantra embraces it wholeheartedly, inviting us to explore our most authentic selves through practices that date back to the golden age of classical Tantra in India.
This teaching is a refreshing shift from body-denying practices, offering themes of presence, intention, and self-integration—allowing us to feel more alive, connected, and liberated. So, whether you’re a Tantra newbie or just curious about its implications in your life, join me as we rip the bandaid off and dive into the essence of being truly turned on by life!
