Tantrism



Tantrism


Tantric kisses are based on ​ mindfulness. Many times when we kiss, we  are paying more attention to something else besides the kiss itself. We lose a lot of the experience that way. 

Mindfulness​  is something I have studied for the last five years along with  a therapy called DBT. Both Mindfulness and DBT are huge subjects on  their own and are worth a google search.


The basic principles of mindfulness are:  

1. Let go of everything; thoughts, worries and expectations. 

2. Make a point to be aware of all of your senses.

3. Do not judge ​any thing or thought.

4. Be willing to try new things.  

5. Let yourself be vulnerable. 



When practicing mindfulness, try this: 

1. Start by observing your own breath.  

2. Breath deeply through your mouth and hold it for two seconds.  

3. Exhale, do not forget to breathe, if you do, bring your focus back to  the breath.  

4. Maintain your attention to your senses. What do you feel, see or  taste? 

5. When you catch your senses wandering away, keep returning to  focus on your breath.  

6. Try to do this for one full minute.  

7. Make a game of it, see how long you can do this exercise.  

8. This mind space is called meditation. 



Science has suggested some of the benefits of mindfulness practice  include an increase in the body's ability to heal associated with a trend away from depression and anxiety towards happiness, relaxation, and  emotional balance.
