My spiritual understanding includes life force energy, Source and oneness. They are meaningful parts of how I understand Tantra and our connection with life itself.
I want to be honest about what these words are. They are my understanding, and the understanding of many traditions. They are not scientific claims, and you do not need to believe them to explore meditation or Tantra with me.
What I can describe more simply is the experience that points me towards them. Sitting quietly, breathing consciously, there can be a sense of aliveness: warmth, movement, the feeling of being part of something rather than standing outside it, thinking about it.
Some people would call that life force. Some would call it relaxation, or presence, or nothing at all. People may understand their own experiences in different ways, and that is welcome.
The intention is never to tell someone what they should feel or what their experience means. It is to create an environment in which they can become more aware of themselves.
This is why I keep returning to feeling rather than thinking. We can think about life force for years. Or we can sit, breathe and notice what it is like to be alive right now.
