Tantra yoga seek to find union with the Divine through the spiritual and divine use of sexuality. It seeks to use sexual energy as a means of attaining self mastery. Tantric yoga philosophy believes that one can achieve the same result through celibacy or sexual union. It is the spiritual science of learning to raise sexual energy up the chakras while actually making love with your partner or spouse.

Tantric yoga believes that sexual energy must be controlled, mastered and utilized and not run away from. Sexuality is seen as a sacred energy and is used, but under the guidance of the soul and not the lower self.

In my book on "Soul Psychology" I have dedicated an entire chapter to this subject, so I will not repeat myself here. It is suffice to say, however, that this type of yoga, in my opinion, is a form that almost all the people on this planet need to come to terms with.

Tantra yoga provides a midpoint between the two extremes of celibacy, and being run by the carnal lower self in this regard. Tantra yoga is the spiritual science of how to properly utilize your sexual energy in service of God. Many of the Eastern traditions and fundamentalist religions make sexuality out to be a bad thing, which just isn't true. When used properly it can accelerate your path of God realization.
