Q: What is tantra?

If we take a look at the meaning of the word Tantra , which is a Sanscriet word, (Sanscriet is an old language that does not exist anymore) then tantra means literally that what is woven or in other words that what is connected. In tantra we work with connection: we ask ourselves the question: how can I connect in a better, healthier way with myself and from there, how can I connect in a healthy way with somebody else. For tantricas a good or healthy connection starts in the first place in their own hearts, that’s why we call Tantra, the path of the heart. And by far the most important quality of the heart is to love, so tantra is the path of love.

Q: How do we learn Tantra?

In tantra, we are learning through experience, not so much by theory or knowledge. In tantra we experience mostly through exercises with our body, sometimes with our mind. In the experience we are working a lot with pleasure, so in tantra learning by experience is a lot of fun, we are not learning by suffering. In tantra we mostly don’t give the answers, we are showing you the path to find the answers yourself, by experience.

Q: When is Tantra something for me?

In Tantra, ritual is more than routine—it’s a doorway to the sacred. Through intentional practice, we step out of the ordinary and into a space where the divine is felt, honored, and embodied. Whether you’re new to Tantra or deepening your journey, creating a sacred space at home can serve as an anchor for your spiritual and sensual exploration.

This article offers a practical guide for beginners to create a simple yet powerful Tantric ritual space—a sanctuary where energy flows freely, intentions come alive, and the sacred is always near.

Why Create a Sacred Space?

A sacred space is a physical and energetic container for your practice. It helps shift your awareness from the mundane to the mystical. It invites presence, devotion, and connection. Whether you’re practicing breathwork, meditation, conscious touch, or partner rituals, a well-tended space supports you in returning to yourself—and the divine within and around you.

“Creating a sacred space is an act of devotion, not just decoration.”

Step-by-Step: How to Create a Tantric Ritual Space at Home

1. Choose the Right Location

Pick a quiet, private place where you won’t be disturbed. It can be a dedicated room, a corner in your bedroom, or even a portable setup that you can unfold when needed.
What matters most is the intention behind the space, not its size.

2. Build a Simple Home Altar

Your altar is the heart of your sacred space. It’s a symbolic reflection of your inner world.
What to include:

A clean surface or cloth
Preferably in earthy or sensual tones (reds, golds, whites).
Sacred symbols
Statues or images of deities like Shiva and Shakti, or symbols that resonate with you (yin/yang, lotus flower, sacred geometry).
Natural elements
Crystals, flowers, shells, feathers—offerings from nature.
Personal items
Jewelry, photos, or any object that holds meaning for your spiritual journey.

Arrange these objects with care and mindfulness. As you do so, focus on your intention: to create a space of reverence, love, and transformation.

3. Set the Atmosphere with Sensory Tools

Use your senses to awaken the energy in the room. Tantra honors the body and the senses as pathways to the divine.

Essentials include:

Incense or essential oils
Choose scents like sandalwood, rose, patchouli, or frankincense. Light the incense as an offering and as a way to clear the space energetically.
Candles
Fire represents transformation and presence. Use candles to set a mood and create warmth.
Soft fabrics and cushions
Comfort invites relaxation and receptivity. Use pillows or sheepskins to make the space cozy and grounded.
Music or mantra
Gentle background music, chimes, or recorded mantras can help shift the energy.

4. Work with Intention

The core of any ritual is your intention. Before starting your practice, pause. Breathe deeply. Place your hands on your heart or genitals, and speak your intention out loud or silently.

Example intentions:

“I open myself to deeper self-love and awareness.”
“I honor the divine union of masculine and feminine within me.”
“I create space for healing, pleasure, and presence.”

This moment of intention transforms your ritual from routine into sacred practice.

Optional Practices to Begin With

Once your space is ready, you can begin with any of the following:

A short Tantric breathwork session (inhale through the nose, exhale slowly through the mouth).

A sensual self-touch ritual, where you honor your body without goal or agenda.

A mantra meditation (chanting “Om,” “So-Ham,” or invoking a deity).

A light candle-gazing meditation (Trataka) for inner clarity and focus.

Keep It Alive: Tending Your Sacred Space

Return to your altar regularly—even for a few minutes a day. Light a candle, offer a flower, or simply sit in silence. This keeps the energy of your space fresh and alive. Over time, this corner of your home becomes infused with love, clarity, and sacred presence.

Tantra is not only about techniques—it’s about cultivating presence, reverence, and conscious energy. Creating a sacred space is an act of devotion, not just decoration. Start simple, start small, and let your space evolve with your practice.

“Remember: when you honor your space, you honor yourself”
