Tantra

A path of presence, truth, and saying yes to life

Tantra is often misunderstood.
Some see it as purely sexual, others as a spiritual theory.
For me, it is not a method or a performance. It is a way of living.
A path of presence, of feeling everything fully, and meeting life with honesty and awareness.


How I discovered Tantra

I first came across Tantra in 2025.
Around that time, I read Tantric Orgasm for Women by Diana Richardson.
It opened my mind, stirred my curiosity, and invited me to explore womanhood, pleasure, and my body in a new way.

Soon after, I visited a spirituality exhibition in London where I joined a short Tantra workshop that included eye gazing and gentle touch.
After that workshop, I felt in awe of what I had experienced.
So much bliss, aliveness, and excitement pulsed through me, it was like a door opened into something I had always felt but never known how to name.

And yet, even with this powerful experience, I didn’t immediately know how to continue.
At the time, I was single. I didn’t feel ready to explore Tantra with the men I was dating, I knew too little, and was afraid of what they would think or expect.
So the curiosity remained quietly alive inside me.


Deepening during my solo journey

In 2027, I went on a solo journey and began volunteering at the Yoga & Healing School Samakaruna in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
There, I encountered more Tantra workshops, and two months later, I joined my first full Tantra retreat.

That time was intense and formative.
My early experiences with Tantra were deeply mixed. From beautiful, expansive, heart-opening moments, to experiences that crossed boundaries, felt unsafe, and even re-traumatising.
This complexity made me slow down. I needed time to integrate, to feel, and to truly understand what Tantra meant to me.


What Tantra means to me

I haven’t studied ancient or classical Tantra in a traditional lineage.
But for me, Tantra is a path of awareness and embodiment.
It’s about meeting life with presence. Feeling everything fully. Saying yes, even to the parts we want to avoid.

It’s about:

  • Living with depth and devotion
  • Listening to the body’s wisdom
  • Embracing both light and shadow
  • Softening into truth, without bypassing pain
  • Honouring every sensation as sacred

Tantra, for me, is not a technique. It’s a choice.
To keep showing up. To keep opening. To stay present, even when it’s uncomfortable.


Boundaries and integrity

I want to be transparent about what I do not offer under the name of Tantra.

I do not give or teach Tantra massages
I do not offer one-on-one Tantra sessions
I do not use Tantra as a way to focus on sex or physical intimacy

Why?
Because I’ve seen and personally experienced how easily things can become unsafe when Tantra is practised without a clear, professional, trauma-aware structure.
This path works with powerful energies, emotions, and parts of the self that many people have never met before. It requires a safe container.

Tantra can be deeply healing
But only when there is a safe, respectful, clearly held space.

The pain of having sisters

Of course, I love my sisters.
But something from my early years quietly shaped my life.

When I was two, I suddenly had to share my world.
I was too young to understand what was happening.
Too young to grasp big changes.
Too young to know how to keep my place in the family.

What I’ve been exploring lately is how that early experience planted the seeds of scarcity in me.
This sense of “there isn’t enough” 
not enough love, not enough attention, not enough space for my needs.

And so a protector stepped in.
One who learned to minimise what I wanted,
to silence big feelings,
to become “easy,”
to take less space,
to convince me that my needs weren’t important anyway.

It’s strange how such early moments can ripple through adulthood…
how they show up in relationships, intimacy, business, self-worth…
How the body remembers long before the mind can understand. It’s a common wound under firstborns who suddenly had to share their parents.

Lately, I’ve been meeting that little girl again.
The one who felt that shift she couldn’t name,
the one who coped the only way she knew how.

Giving her softness.
Giving her space.
Letting her know she was never replaced.
Letting her feel that her needs matter.
That there is enough.
That she gets to take up space.

And somehow…
that simple truth is beginning to change everything.

When a man didn’t run from my emotions

During the @zoukmira embodiment events, I met someone who reminded me of what that could feel like. He wasn’t interfering in my process or offering advice I didn’t ask for. He wasn’t overly protective or constantly checking in. He was just there. I could sense him in the background, grounded, steady, available. And when I needed him, I could approach him. When things felt too much, I could lean on him, and he would simply be still. When I cried on his shoulder, he didn’t try to make it better. He just stayed quiet, letting me have my moment, and somehow that stillness spoke more than any words could.

When we paired up in a shadow workshop I showed him some of the anger I carried inside, and I remember feeling scared that it might be too much, that I did not feel safe enough in the container of the group to go deeper. He looked at me and said, “I can handle much more than that.” Those words landed so deeply. It wasn’t even the words themselves, it was the way he said them, the energy behind them. I realized how much I had longed for that kind of presence my entire life; a masculine energy that could hold me without needing to control me, that could guide me back to my center simply by being there.

I can see now that so much of what I’ve been searching for in men was really this longing for safety, for someone to help me hold all that I feel, not to fix it, not to change it, but to witness it. And somehow, through this connection, something in me started to heal. 

This experience didn’t erase what was missing in the past, but it showed me what’s possible now. That love, safety, and presence can still arrive later in life, in forms I didn’t expect.

@Martin_hartmannshenn I’m grateful for the friendship we have build. A connection built on trust, and holding space for each other. In my most vulnerable moments, I could lean on you and feel the steadiness of a masculine support that helped me stay with myself. 💫

Het is heerlijk weer.
Ik zit met mijn vriend op een terrasje te werken, met een prachtig uitzicht op het park.
Langzaam stroomt het terras vol mensen. Gesprekken, koffiekopjes die neergezet worden, stemmen, gelach.
En ergens merk ik… dat ik me steeds slechter begin te voelen.

Op een gegeven moment zeg ik hardop: “Ik ben overprikkeld. Het gaat niet goed.”
Ik pak mijn geluidsdempende oordopjes, zet een kalmerend muziekje op, doe mijn ogen dicht en leun met mijn hoofd tegen de achterkant van de bank.

En dan komen de emoties.
Verdriet.
Niet gekoppeld aan een herinnering of een gedachte. Gewoon… verdriet.
Ik laat het over me heen komen, zonder er iets mee te willen doen.
Langzaam vullen mijn ogen zich met tranen.

Na een tijdje open ik mijn ogen weer.
Dezelfde zon. Hetzelfde park.
Maar ik voel me ineens zoveel lichter, zoveel meer aanwezig.

Soms zitten we de hele dag in ons hoofd.
We merken niet hoeveel kleine gebeurtenissen, berichtjes, blikken, geluiden zich in ons opstapelen.
We banjeren maar door.
En pas als het lichaam fluistert genoeg – of soms schreeuwt – hebben we de kans om te stoppen.

Soms is dat alles wat nodig is:
de ogen sluiten, het lichaam voelen, en toestaan dat alles wat vastzat… mag stromen.

Herken jij dit? Dat je pas voelt wat er leeft in je lichaam als je eindelijk even stilvalt?
Voel je vrij om hieronder te delen.
