Tantra Practices

Lie down and close your eyes. Start at the toes and slowly move upward. Three breaths in each region. Where is the tension? Where is the warmth? Where is the flow? Get to know your body.

✦ recommended for your element

Sit facing your partner. Meet eyes. Inhale together, exhale together. Five minutes. Then reverse — one inhales while the other exhales. Feel the flow of energy.

Place a hand on your chest. Feel your heartbeat. With each beat say 'I love you' — to yourself. Not to anyone else, just to you. This love must be born in you before it can spill over to others.

Sit in a quiet room. See 5 things, touch 4, hear 3, smell 2, taste 1. Experience each sense fully. Don't rush. This moment — only this moment.

Sit one meter from your partner. For five minutes, look silently into each other's eyes. No talking. No laughing. Just seeing. You'll feel the masks fall away.

Stand barefoot on the ground. Breathe deeply. Imagine roots reaching from your feet into the earth. With each breath, sink deeper. The earth is holding you. You are safe.

Sit in a comfortable position. Sound 'OM' — deep, slow, long. Feel the vibration in your chest, throat, head. Repeat seven times. Focus on a different chakra each time.

Write three things: for the breath you took today, for an emotion you felt today, for someone who exists today. Writing is enough. Not thinking — feeling.
