“With the term Yoga, which is traditionally derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj (to unite, to bind), we refer to a technique of asceticism, a method of contemplation that leads to the progressive detachment from the transient reality and has as its supreme goal the mystical union with the Absolute.
The yogin can penetrate the most secret forms of matter and the universe, perceive the nature of the mind, and come to grasp the creative thought that is defined as divine.
Alongside classical yoga, which owes its formulation to Patanjali, there are other forms of Yoga such as those of magical and mystical structure; and it is precisely to these forms that the Siva-samhita refers.
A common goal of all Indian doctrines is the liberation of man from suffering: the remedies proposed differ.
Yoga aims at stopping mental fluctuations, at the quiescence of all modes and functions of the mind. The mind must be emptied, and to succeed one must follow a progressive path that includes learning positions (asana) suitable for meditation, since an incorrect position cannot keep the mind calm; such positions must be accompanied by muscle contractions (bandha), by psychophysical processes or gestures (mudra), and by purifications (kriya), breath control (pranayama).
The methods of control of the body and mind are the subject of hatha-yoga, which can be considered a synthesis of Yoga and Tantra.
In fact, Tantrism, which constitutes a stage in the evolution of all the main Indian religions and which is accompanied by a revival of Saktism, adopts the exercises of Yoga, in turn influencing it considerably.
Tantric metaphysics considers absolute reality as the union of all dualities and polarities reintegrated into a state of absolute unity; creation and becoming represent the breaking of primordial unity and the separation of the two supreme principles Siva and Sakti. The supreme reality is pure consciousness and from it proceed the mind and matter.
Pure consciousness is Siva, united with his Sakti (power, energy), who is the Great Devi, the mother of the universe. She resides as vital force (Sakti-Kundalini) in man himself, in the lowest center (cakra), the muladhara, located at the base of the spinal cord, while Siva is realized in the highest cerebral center, the sahasraracakra. The purpose of the tantric ritual is precisely to achieve the union of Siva and Sakti in the body and mind of the practitioner, who thus manages to reestablish within himself the state of the universe before creation.”

Tantra Yoga offers a unique approach that focuses on the use of our deepest source of energy: sexual energy, the most powerful form of energy in the human being, manifestation and expression of Shakti, the divine feminine principle, also called Kundalini Shakti. The body is considered as a temple in which this immense force lies dormant, which through specific practices can be awakened and channeled.
Therefore, sexuality has a special place in the practice of Tantra Yoga, but it is not based solely on it. Tantra Yoga is interested in all the energies and manifestations of Nature, including the body and sexuality, as well as the Spirit. From this point of view, everything can be used as a tool for spiritual evolution: food, Nature, the mind, emotions, and so on.
Only through the conscious use of these tools can we achieve our evolution, physical, mental, and spiritual.

The practice of yoga and meditation are useful and important tools to cope with the discomfort generated by the upheaval of our lives in recent weeks. They can allow us to respond to the fluctuations of life so as not to be shaken by them. We need to look at anxiety and fear for what they are, defense mechanisms, instinctive reactions in the face of a threat, real or presumed. Fear generates disconnection and separation. The more we learn to distinguish the real problem from the emotional aspect with which we react to it, the easier it will be to understand how to behave. Let's start with the body. It is important to reconnect with the body and its wisdom, to the natural timing of things, to the energy of the heart chakra. It is an excellent opportunity to cultivate care, integrity, unity, the rediscovery of what is truly important, to be present and keep our hearts open.
"Love has a broad breath, both in a metaphorical and real sense. An open heart chakra manifests exactly with a sensation of openness in the chest, a free flow of breath that passes through the chest with its rhythmic movement and reverberates in the other chakras, both upper and lower... in addition to making the mind more balanced and focused, it brings us back to our central chakra, giving us incredible inner stability. Connecting our thoughts, feelings, and changing sensations to the continuity of the breath is perhaps the main way to nourish and open the energy of the heart. This will lead us to an understanding of things that does not come from the intellect, but from intuition."
