Is Tantra Healing or Therapeutic?
We will write more on this subject but the whole idea seems arrogant and distasteful.
In the philosophy of Tantra no one is ill, there is no disease, there is no specific "healing" methods employed to make one "well".
We have heard many use this term, "healing", and it seems to have been used so much that everyone accepts it as a way to practice Tantra. There is no mention of this "healing" in the Vedas, the roots of Tantra, and in fact the process of awakening and growing in the understanding of the life force energy and its many expressions can hardly be called "healing". It would be like learning a new sport, or learning a new skill. Are those healing you of anything?
The Western world has symptoms, disorders, therapies, procedures, and various chemicals and tools that are used to cut out parts of the body, kill bacteria and viruses, and otherwise "heal" the body.
This is not how the Eastern philosophies views health and well being.
Despite all this, which might be considered opinion, both Western medicine and Eastern (as in Ayurvedic) require extensive education to become "healers". In my experience I have not met any of those who call themselves Tantric or sexual healers who have much formal education at all. They seemed to have made these techniques and "therapies" up as they went along, or learned them from others with no education or training.
