mes from the Sanskrit language and means “weaving together.” This refers to the weaving together of the physical and spiritual aspects of one’s being.

The first recorded tantric texts date back to 300-400 CE. These texts were written by both Hindus and Buddhists and were meant to be understood only by those who closely practiced the secret tantric arts. The texts were ambiguous and often required a guru or teacher to help interpret them.

Tantra meditation was not widely practiced until the 1960s and 1970s when it gained popularity in the West. This was due in part to the teachings of Indian gurus such as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Osho. These gurus brought the practice of tantra meditation to the West and helped to popularize it.
