Tantra

Tantra, which is more than a thousand years old, offers its knowledge to today's open-minded people as an opportunity for personal growth. It describes the energetic relationships, the unity of all being as a source for a pleasurable and ecstatic existence that continuously experiences its potential. Tantra is neither religion nor dogma, but an individual journey, at the end of which freedom stands.

My approach is a very fiery, emotional version of Tantra. He connects you with your feelings and promotes clarity and independence in everyday life. And he deeply opens the compassion. Oppressed feelings often lie like a veil over reality and permanently cloud perception and also the desire to live. They prevent closeness, admittance and deep, fulfilling encounters. In Tantra, you have the opportunity to skin yourself like a snake: to recognize and feel the entanglements. Awareness creates space for freedom. The more you become master in your home, know all corners and premises, the more you can also work with your energies: The liberated sexual energy is at your disposal as a companion for everyday projects or for spiritual practice.
Beyond consumption, tantra is based on the cultivation of sexuality, more than that, it is about increasing energy and the sacral aspect of being sexual. In Tantra, the body is worshiped. Likewise, Shiva and Shakti (the divine core that is beyond the personal, male and female) enjoy the greatest reverence and respect.

Encounters sustained by such an attitude are less and less achievable in today's circumstances, the stress of performance and prejudice. The tantra seminars offer insights into my work, the questions about love and sexuality are illuminated from a tantric perspective. To forestall an emerging question: in the short two-day weekend seminars, there is no "nude session" or sexual interaction. Only the will to the greatest possible presence is required.

body therapy

The intense body work is in the foreground. Bioenergetics exercises, holotropic breathing, rebirthing and elements of Tantra Yoga are among the uses. Professional and individual corrections help that even after a short seminar very significant effects can occur.

For beginners here begins a sweaty time: This is an absolute must in the beginning, to soften the frozen and frozen. The work always starts with your own "armor" and increases your tactility and your power. Practices from yoga give you more freedom of movement after a short time. A large number of guided, emotional sessions leads you back to yourself and brings your topics to the surface.

bioenergetics

Modern bioenergetics and sex therapy use the fundamental experiences and concepts of the Austrian sexologist Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen, his American student (bioenergetic analysis). Consensus is that man in his history of development fends off feelings that are too much or not digestible for the entire system at this time. As a result, people "armor" over their lives. Mostly, the participants do not notice it themselves. However, the so-called "armor" can also be visible, for. In the sexual field. A common topic in men, for example, is the inability to experience pleasure for longer (Praecox). In women, for example, it can express itself as an orgasm disorder.

Modern bioenergetics and sex therapy use classical bioenergetic exercises and postures from yoga. To restore the unity of breathing, voice and movement, music and language are used to support the process. Time and repetition duration differ in the length of the exercise.

Interplay of tantra, body therapy and bioenergetics

The foundations of the seminars are bioenergetics, yoga and tantric techniques. So the combination of modern western and eastern methods helps to liberate the life energy and to increase it with certainty! An absolute special feature is the professional guidance and at the same time compassionate connection of the leadership with the group.

All exercises are powerful tools that can later be practiced alone. Tantra requires mutual respect and respect as a precondition in dealing with each other.

Tantric rituals

Tantric rituals have a high priority in the Tantric Matrix Tantra seminars and especially in the Tantric Matrix Tantra training. Every longer seminar will culminate in this. The tantra rituals are often very bombastic and are characterized by sensual and great stagings. Since time immemorial, there has been the phase of purification that used to be fasting in earlier times. We use modern methods to clarify the body and mind, and to sit around the table with the gods. Therefore, rituals only take place in longer seminars or year training Tantric Matrix. There is nudity required.
