When people hear the term “tantric relationship,” they often associate it with erotic or sensual themes. While this connection isn’t entirely misplaced, a tantric relationship encompasses much more depth, focusing on a holistic partnership between a male and a female that integrates mind, body, and spirit. Tantric love involves cultivating profound intimacy, mutual growth, and a shared spiritual journey.

So, what defines a truly tantric relationship, and how can one embark on this transformative path? The answers lie in understanding its essence and embracing its practices.

What is a Tantric Relationship?

A tantric relationship is a profound journey where partners commit to fostering spiritual growth, both individually and together. The ultimate aim is the spiritual evolution of both individuals in a tantric couple through intentional practices and shared devotion.

The essence of such a tantric partnership lies in its transformative approach:

To truly achieve a tantric relationship both partners need to be committed to an authentic spiritual path and practice.
  • Mutual Desire for Growth: Both partners must genuinely want to evolve spiritually, developing themselves as individuals and as a couple. This shared intention lays the foundation for tantric love to flourish.
  • Learning Authentic Tantra: Understanding Tantra goes beyond superficial knowledge. It requires a shared commitment to study its authentic teachings deeply, cultivating a common goal that aligns with the principles of love and unity.
  • Consistent Practice: Regularly practicing tantric teachings, including yoga, meditation, and other techniques, is essential. Both solo and shared practices create opportunities for growth, connection, and alignment with higher consciousness.

To become a genuine tantric couple, a devoted attitude is essential. This means dedicating oneself to personal evolution and the spiritual expansion of the relationship, coupled with a heartfelt commitment to the path and teachings of Tantra.

Authentic tantric relationships transcend mere labels or titles. They require unwavering dedication to embodying the teachings of Tantra in all aspects of life and love. This profound commitment unlocks the extraordinary rewards of the practice, deepening intimacy and fostering spiritual transformation. With such an approach, the immense potential of a tantric relationship and its power to enrich life becomes beautifully evident.

What About Tantric Love and Sexuality?

Tantric love and sexuality are often misunderstood as being synonymous with polyamory and sexual freedom. While a tantric couple may explore non-monogamy (practicing an open relationship) or remain committed in a lifelong tantric marriage, these choices are secondary to the essence of a tantric relationship. Sexuality in Tantra is viewed as a sacred tool to enhance the tantric connection, but it is not a requirement.

tantric relationships - jealousy and attachment are not true love
Many people mistakenly associate jealousy and attachment with genuine love. However, tantric love transcends these emotions, emphasizing freedom and spiritual connection instead.

The real “magic” of tantric relationships lies in true love. In a society where jealousy is encouraged as a justification for love and is even considered acceptable, Tantra teaches us that this is actually the opposite of love and is, in fact, an impurity at the level of the mind.

Tantric love emphasizes a deep, spiritual connection between partners, rooted in emotional authenticity and mutual growth. The cornerstone of tantric relationships is the ability to love unconditionally, free from jealousy and insecurity, enabling partners to foster a tantric partnership grounded in profound trust and devotion.

This approach transforms relationships, allowing tantric lovers to transcend societal norms and experience a bond where the mind, body, and spirit unite in true harmony. Through consistent practice and shared intentions, couples can nurture a tantric connection that evolves into a deeply fulfilling tantric marriage.
