I learn from Maria Duval that there is a mysterious class of spirituality called Tantra which originates from India. In tantra, when male and female merge, or 2 objects of opposite polarities combine, there is a new dimension being created.
During this merging, there is a sense of sacredness. One of the best example of polarity merging is sexual union, hence this is a very sacred process which is connected to the life force itself and this life force can be felt by both male and female involved.
This connection lifts human consciousness beyond the physical plane into a much greater field of power and energy. Thus, both parties feel connected spiritually and physically too, from lives, loves and emotions. That is why this process is spiritual and should not be done unethically. However, modern humans are testing spirituality and morality to the limits, hence there is a great devoid of emptiness in human lives nowadays.
Tantra approves to creation of life. It is not a kind of belief but more than a concept of living and acting in unity with the life force.
On this belief, it encourages release than repression in terms of pleasure, happiness and joy. It covers all aspects of living and acts related to living, like eating, drinking, or intimating.
Tantra also covers all forms of creative expression, such as movement, massage, martial arts, the fine arts, healing, and music, and it is through these subtle experiences that makes one appreciates the wonders of own physical body even more as though it is a temple to the sacredness of life force or spirituality doorway.

Maria Duval: what is Tantra
Tantra originated from India and is a form of yoga. Tantra is a form of spiritual tradition and a way of life too for several thousands of years. It celebrates and strives for the union of bodies, minds, hearts and souls.
The ultimate purpose of Tantra is the union of lovers, and ultimately union with the Divine. In the Tantric tradition, sexuality and spirituality are joined. Lovers actually invite God into their bed and with sacred sexuality, they share the intentional cultivation and use of sexual energy for spiritual growth, healing, creativity and enhanced pleasure.
Tantra wants you to be living. As living as the trees, as living as the rivers, as living as the sun and the moon. That is your birthright. It's about freedom; you lose nothing by trying it. But if you gain only one moment of total freedom, that is more than sufficient to compensate yourself. A long life as a slave under your present mind is worthless.
