In tantra we see sex as a microcosm of everything we experience. An interpersonal meditation, where the five senses are engaged. An opening to the third, something larger than 1+1, the fresh truth that wants to emerge and be. A cocreated space of extraordinary consciousness and surrender. It requires exquisite attention, both on our partner and on our own sensations.

It is the most potent way I know of feeling alive and connected. Just like in learning to play a musical instrument, practice is key. However, it is not a path of “how to” or techniques, but a mindfulness practice.
