Tantra

Description

Mysterious and misunderstood, Tantra originates in the medieval scriptures of the Indian Subcontinent and informs strands in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist thought. When transplanted from its original home to the west, aspects of its taboo-breaking revolutionary actions became separated from its deeper philosophical roots. Yoga, meditation, and art all form a part of its rich, historic lineage. Transformational ritual informs its practice in many different paths.

In this book we uncover and explain the ideas contained within this complex system of thought and introduce simple exercises that can awaken the transformative energy lying dormant inside all of us.
