[@jamesjasonallen4168]

To me, tantra means connecting to the world through kundalini. It's kind of like a "cable" that lets you "plug in" to the energy of the world around you. I've communed with other humans through this energy, but also to plants, to the moon, to images of deities...It's the warrior's path, expanding outward into the world :D

[@KrystalAranyani]

Mystic James Love this explanation!🐍

[@vladimirssatrevics4320]

Tantra is not connecting you only through Kundalini, Kundalini is just one of the popular paths (the easiest one). It is not a cable it is opening your conciousness, since you are already connected to the world. You do not need any cables. Kundalini is the energy of life coming through your body (as well as others). Usually means life energy from your roots (the will to be alive). Kundalini is very popular since it is easy to feel and develop to higher energies for the beginners,... You do not need to be a warrior (may be you confusing this philosophy with Kastaneda one). There is no outward world. You=Me=World ("tat tvam asi" from sanscrit)

[@danielle-womanbehindthecur7435]

Hello Krystal, Lovely video. I just commented this on your beloved's recent video on Tantra and I thought I'd post it here as well, since you like myself seem to resonate with many forms of the Divine Feminine, I thought you might appreciate what my higher self and I channeled into words as yet another view of and history on Tantra: Tantra is not limited only to Shiva and Shakti (or Hinduism/any one religious tradition). Isis (great Divine Feminine Goddess of Egypt, not the evil group of men terrorizing today), is said to have also brought the Tantra from Sirius and initiated certain souls to be Tantrikas. I resonate with this. These are people who are born with a mission to break down duality by bringing back the balance of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. Tantrikas do this both within their own spirits and bodies, with themselves and their romantic partners (including but not limited to physical love making), and with the energy, frequency, and knowledge they resonate & spread throughout the world's consciousness. So no, not just about sex. That's just the western world over simplifying again and breaking things down to instant gratification. Many people today and in recent history are being initiated or re initiated as Divine Tantrikas. Thus you have the awakenings and acceptances of the LGBTQ+ and non binary communities and movements, and the re awakening of the Twin Flame/Divine Partnership collectives. Koi (or Krystal) or anyone looking to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to message me. Peace, Blessings, Light, and Above All Love to all of you 0;) (And thanks again Krystal to you and your beloved for always sharing and spreading the Light & the Love) Bless you Sister!

[@checka1963]

I also like the summary idea that Tantra is engaging all the senses (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching) to live life to the full in whatever you are doing.

[@chitramurali2075]

Thank you for this beautiful explanation, your insights, authenticity, honesty and openness (in your other videos as well). Have been practicing Advaita Vedanta for a while. Had an awakening experience recently (one of a couple.) Now am feeling called to learn more about Shaivism and tantric philosophy. Interestingly, I was born into a family, where my ancestors followed Shaivism. Not much exposure to it growing up though. On occasion, would hear my dad recite Sanskrit shlokas and mantras. Nothing beyond that. Will dive deeper into this philosophy now. This explanation has been helpful. Have tried a few of your guided meditations and they are wonderful. In gratitude and love... Namaste :-)

I belong to the place and also tantra runs in blood . My great grandmother was the yogini and she was the tantra practitioner at home but yet she was yogini. She was directly initiated by Kali. So somewhere I have got it in my genes though I don't practice it. Your definition is only sound one .. or else in West tantra is selling as sex which is destorted meaning ..

[@sudharsanranga9389]

I love Kashmir Shavism it is beautiful :D

[@ondelettew4230]

I get a lot from your videos, I'd like to give something back. 'Kashmir Shaivism' or Trika Shaivism is a tradition that co-existed and co-evolved with Buddhist tantra in Kashmir in the 9th and 10th centuries -- a time when Kashmir was considered one of the centers of tantra Buddhism in the world (others at the time were Vikramsila, Sosaling, Nalanda, Khotan, Palimbang, etc.). It was during the Pala Empire, when tantra was the state religion of many kingdoms and empires. Kashmir until 1289 was a place where people did not sharply divide Shaivism and Buddhism, its scholars were hired from Afghanistan to India to Tibet to Indonesia for their tantra expertise. It's currently believed that such a syncretism between Shakti and Buddhist tantra persisted in Bengal up until the 19th century. The reason for pointing this out is that your inclusiveness is one of the things I like about your videos, and you should know that these traditions are naturally inclusive because nobody was ever made to make choices about exactly what tradition they professed until people from the West, either the Muslims arriving a thousand years ago or the Europeans arriving much later, told them they had to. Thank you for your teachings.

[@MrBuddibaba]

Samadhi is also a part of Tantra. Samadhi is the result of the Upayas or practices Tantra prescribes. Because Tantric masters know that it is in the state of Samadhi that 'Self recognition' occurs. Without Self recognition one continues to to identify with the Ego. One cannot master tantra if they cannot transcend the Ego so Samadhi is in every way necessary in the Tantric dharma.

Hey, thanks for sharing this! I've been searching for sources of information about Tantra, specifically the "true", spiritual Tantra, but almost everything I found focused on pleasure and sex and had almost no connection to spirituality... apart from what you yourself are going to publish in the future, do you have any other recommendable sources to look into right now?

To me, in one aspect tantra is that which expands. Expanding the consciousness so that it becomes universal

[@guitarttimman]

I like this. Recently, I have been embracing my gentle side. I don't call it a feminine side because females are very very different, and I love that difference. Females are anatomically different. If you ever want me to explain how your body works, let me know. I do know the physiology quite well.

[@kristinfisher6466]

Tim Rubin Halcomb yes they are different as far as our bodies. But every female has a divine masculine and Divine feminine aspect to them. The key is to balance them, and when to learn to lean more towards one then the other. Same for a man he has both divine masculine and divine feminine in him.

When you're sailing across an ocean it doesn't matter about tantra mantra Contra or Ventra what matters is that you know how to sail and use your instruments such as radar or an AIS warning s sextant or GPS. In life your instruments are feelings and whether you have unnecessary bad feelings coming on like anger or jealousy or resentment. It's called personal awareness and personal responsibility. If you want to call it Ventra or mantra or Centra or plantera or Nampa or donut holes that is entirely up to you. I agree with everything she is saying 😎

Hi Krystal !!! Do you see a connection between tantric practices and Kundalini Yoga ??? What are your thoughts on Kundalini in general ?? Would you make a video on it ? 🌻🌻🌻🌙🌊🌊🌊

[@KrystalAranyani]

Pedro Félix Aguilar I'll definitely do videos on kundalini and it's also a big part of my practice/incorporated in my teaching. The concepts work together as we awaken the shakti/kundalini energy at the base of the spine to move it up to higher chakras/Shiva 🐍 I stopped speaking a lot about kundalini because there's also misunderstandings and (I find) and unhealthy obsession people may have with a kundalini awakening, which can be dangerous if not approached properly. I'll talk more about this soon though! :)

[@pedripolis]

Krystal Aranyani thank youuuu !!! I grew up practicing Kundalini yoga because my mom is a teacher but I left it as I grew past 11 years old and I no longer live with her but I feel it really helped me to kind of “become aware that I was aware” and whenever I mentioned this to a friend they would think I was crazy 😂😂😂 but since then I’ve held Kundalini yoga on a very special place in my heart because of my childhood, the funny thing is that I moved from my old house and down my new street they opened a Kundalini yoga studio just a month before I moved in 😂 I’m considering to start practicing but I have a few questions that I would really appreciate if you could answer on your video: 1. Why does Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan seems to have a lot of Sikh elements in it? 2. Is there any recommended “preparation” (like some sadhna) for the nadis before starting a rigorous practice?(since I’ve noticed it is some really strong energy at the base of the spine and some sources I’ve read say that if rushed it can be pumped incorrectly through ida or pingala nadi instead of the sushumna). 3. Are there any special tips for males? Does ejaculation affects this energy? How can men connect with this rising femenine side? Is it related in some way to the moon? Hope you’ve made it this far hahahaha thank you again and sending so much love your way !!! 🌞❤️❤️❤️ your opinion would be really helpful on my process to starting this new chapter on my spiritual journey. 🌈🌈🌈
