Essential Insights for Success in Tantra, Spirituality, Yoga, and Meditation
To truly succeed in the practices of Tantra, spirituality, yoga, or meditation, it is essential to connect with them in a natural and authentic way.
These disciplines are inner journeys, undertaken to awaken or connect with inner strength. In contrast, most of our daily activities are outwardly focused, performed with the body and for the external world.
To embark on these practices, you must have absolute clarity about your objective or goal. Without a clear purpose, true connection with Tantra, meditation, or spirituality remains elusive.
Neither Tantra, spiritual yoga, nor meditation demands that you renounce anything. Nor are we suggesting such renunciation.
However, changes in lifestyle are necessary because modern life has become artificial. We neither live naturally, nor eat naturally, nor exist in harmony with nature. This disconnection is the root of our growing struggles—daily stress, unhappiness, and physical or mental ailments. To make matters worse, even the solutions offered to combat these challenges are often artificial, further compounding the problem.
Friends, we urge you not to add or remove anything from your daily life simply because we suggest it. Only make changes when an inner voice guides you to do so. Follow your intuition, not external advice.
Simple Adjustments for Everyday Life
Here are a few suggestions you might try temporarily. Incorporate them only if they feel beneficial and natural:
- Exercise and Yoga Before Meditation:
Physical health lays the foundation for a successful meditative state. A strong, healthy body enables deeper focus and steadiness in meditation. - Choose Natural Surroundings:
Practice yoga or meditation in a park under a tree, near flowering plants, or beside indoor greenery at home. - Embrace Your Authentic Self:
Modern society often compels us to reject our natural form, including our body’s scent and appearance, favoring artificial enhancements. However, true spirituality begins with self-acceptance. Strike a balance between societal expectations and spiritual authenticity:- Love your natural self, body, and appearance.
- During baths, add three pinches of salt to a bucket of water or sprinkle salt water over yourself while using a shower. This practice rejuvenates and detoxifies the body naturally.
- Massage your body gently while bathing, as the habit of using soap often eliminates this beneficial self-care ritual.
- Use soap sparingly—for the face, hands, and private areas.
- Limit the use of artificial products like perfumes, deodorants, or powders. If necessary, apply them to outer garments rather than directly on the skin.
- Rediscover Natural Scents and Energy:
These practices help reduce body odor over time and make you feel naturally refreshed. - Change Your Routine Occasionally:
At least once a week, vary your direction, time, or location of practice. Skip a day entirely once or twice a week.- This approach aligns with psychological principles. Repeating the same action in the same place, at the same time, every day can make it mechanical, devoid of inner connection. This lack of emotional engagement reduces its spiritual benefits.
Final Thoughts
Spirituality and self-discovery thrive on authenticity, mindfulness, and flexibility. Follow your inner guide, experiment with these suggestions, and adopt only what resonates with your soul. By living closer to your natural essence, you will find both inner harmony and outer well-being.
