Tantra or tantric is a esoteric tradition rooted in the religions of india. It is a body of beliefs and practices that works from the principle that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete manifestation of the divine energy of the godhead, and seeks to channel that energy within in creative ways.
Modern Tantra may be divided into practices based on Hinduism and Buddhism (vajrayana). In all cases, there is the emphasis on the union of Shiva (masculine) with Shakti (feminine) energy, the masculine signifying the stable, static force while the feminine signifies the kinetic, dynamic force.
