I have always been intrigued by Tantra and Sacred Sexuality, but until recently, my knowledge was limited to what I had read in books. These texts spoke of energies, chakras and heightened sexuality, fascinating concepts but which seemed to me unattainable in practice.
Everything changed when I met Anand Rudra. The opportunity to participate in his sessions radically transformed my understanding of Tantra. My first encounter with him was in a two-hour tantric session, where I experienced what I had been searching for so long. In this post, I want to share my journey from the theory to the practice of Tantra, and how my perception of conscious and sacred sexuality took an exponential turn thanks to Anand’s teachings.
My First Encounter with Tantra: The Session with Anand Rudra
My interest in Tantra began years ago, when I started exploring the connection between sexuality and spirituality through reading. However, despite the depth of the texts, I always felt that something was missing. Words could not capture the essence of what it really means to connect with sexual energy and elevate it to a higher plane. It was then that I heard about Anand Rudra, a tantric master whose reputation preceded him. I decided it was time to move from theory to practice.
The two-hour session with Anand was, without exaggeration, a revelation. From the moment I entered the room, I felt I was about to embark on an inner journey. Anand created an environment that allowed me to relax completely, letting go of any doubts or reservations. The session began with deep breathing techniques that immediately brought me into a state of calm and full presence.
As the session progressed, Anand used a combination of ancient tantric techniques that helped me connect with my inner energy in ways I had never experienced before. I felt the energy move through my body, unblocking energy centres and bringing me into a state of expanded awareness. For the first time, I was able to understand what it meant to sublimate sexual energy, raising it from the lower to the higher centres.
The experience was so profound that I left the session with a new perception of Tantra. It was no longer just an abstract idea or a set of techniques, but a way of life, a practice that could transform my relationship with myself and the world around me.
Transformation through Tantric Retreats with ANAND
Prompted by my initial experience, I decided to immerse myself further in Tantra by attending tantric retreats. My first retreat was an emotional and spiritual challenge. I came with no expectations and fears, not knowing what to expect, but the safe environment and the support of the facilitators allowed me to open up and let go of those fears.
During the retreat, we were guided through tantric practices that included conscious breathing, meditation and energetic connection exercises. These practices were designed to break down internal barriers and release emotional and energetic blockages. Although at first I found it difficult to trust the process, I gradually began to experience a deep connection with my inner self.
One of the most powerful experiences was the tantric breathing practice, which brought me to a state of expanded awareness. I felt the energy flowing through my body, unblocking repressed emotions and bringing me to a state of peace and clarity of mind. It was at that moment that I understood that Tantra is not just a sexual practice, but a path to personal and spiritual transformation.
My second retreat went even deeper. Having overcome many of my internal barriers, I was able to fully immerse myself in the practices. The connection to my essence became stronger, and I began to experience a sense of oneness and wholeness that I was unaware of before. These experiences confirmed for me that Tantra is a powerful tool for self-knowledge and expansion of consciousness.

Connecting with Sexual Energy and its Sublimation
One of the most fascinating aspects of Tantra is the ability to tap into sexual energy and sublimate it into higher energy centres. This process not only transforms the experience of sexuality, but also has a profound impact on our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
In Tantra, sexual energy is seen as a life force, a source of power that, when channelled correctly, can lead to higher states of consciousness. During my tantric practices, I learned to feel and move this energy through the chakras, unblocking previously dormant energy centres.
This also resonated with my training in Shiatsu and Chinese Medicine. Although I had worked for years with the flow of energy in the body, Tantra allowed me to experience this energy in a completely new way. The chakras and marma points, which were previously abstract concepts, became tangible. I could feel them opening and allowing the energy to flow freely, bringing me into a state of harmony and balance.
One of the most striking practices was that of sublimating sexual energy. This involved not only connecting with this energy in its most basic form, but also raising it to higher energy centres, such as the heart and head. Through breathing techniques, visualisation and meditation, I was able to bring this energy to a higher level of consciousness, experiencing a sense of wholeness and connection with the universe.
This process also had a remarkable impact on my physical health. Sexual energy, when moved and channelled correctly, acts as a kind of “energetic stem cell”, revitalising and rejuvenating the entire body. I felt my body unblocking, releasing tensions and emotional patterns that had been trapped for years. This sense of release and renewal led me to a deeper understanding of my own energetic and spiritual potential.
Tantra is an invitation to explore and connect with the energy that resides within us, to discover the infinite possibilities of healing and transformation it offers. Through these practices, I not only experienced a new form of sexuality, but also a path to self-knowledge and expanded consciousness that continues to impact my daily life.
Anand Rudra’s Experience in Seville and the Opportunity to Experience Tantra
This year, I was fortunate to organise and participate in a unique event in Seville, where Anand Rudra offered the Kashmir Ancestral Massage, an experience that attracted more than 20 people from all over the world. This encounter was more than a simple massage session; it was an immersion into the depths of Tantra, where each participant was able to connect with their inner energy and experience the true essence of this ancient practice.
The energy that was generated in that space was indescribable. People from different cultures and backgrounds came together to explore Tantra, guided by Anand’s wisdom and deep knowledge. It was a powerful reminder that Tantra is a universal path, accessible to all who are willing to open up and be guided by their inner energy.
Now, with the arrival of September and October 2024, Anand returns with new opportunities for those who wish to immerse themselves in Tantra in an even deeper way. This time, he will be offering two exceptional practices fused together: Ancient Tantra Shastra Massage and Tibetan Pulsing. These techniques not only allow a deep connection with sexual energy, but also open doors to healing and rejuvenation through the activation of energy centres and the release of emotional blockages.
If you have ever been curious to explore Tantra, this is an exceptional opportunity. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn from an experienced teacher like Anand Rudra, but you will also have a transformative experience that can change your life. Whether you are new to Tantra or already experienced, these workshops are designed to guide you on a journey into the essence of your being.
Final Reflections
My journey with Tantra has been one of the most transformative of my life. What began as an intellectual quest turned into a profound inner journey that completely changed my perception of sexuality and spirituality. Tantra taught me that sexuality is not just a physical act, but a sacred expression of our deepest essence.
This experience has led me to understand the importance of practice and direct experience. Books can be useful guides, but only through personal practice can we truly understand and live what Tantra has to offer.
For those who are attracted to Tantra, my advice is to explore it with an open mind and heart, and to find a trustworthy teacher to guide you on this path. Tantra is a return to the purest essence of oneself, an opportunity to connect with our deepest self and experience a lasting transformation.
