The word Tantra is used in two ways.
At a generic level, it means Technology (involving mantra, tantra, yantra). But this is too generic and sorta saying “I am going to study technology”.
At a more specific level, Tantra means technique.
There are deity-based Tantras: Of Shiva. Vishnu, Ganesha, and the Goddess are more popular
There are tantras based on left and right-handed paths
There are tantras based on goals - money, health, enlightenment, etc.
A holistic tantra school usually involves various techniques:
- Yogic and breath-related techniques
- Physical and emotional discipline techniques
- Mantra recitation
- Worship of yantras and mandalas involving external rituals and internal contemplation
- intellectual understanding of the concepts to sharpen the mind
- Devotion and surrender techniques
- Rarely, sexual techniques (very few are qualified for these techniques and most teachers in the West & East sell sex as tantra and scamsters like Osho sold this hysteria for a price)
- Importantly, troubleshooting as Tantric paths are not for the faint-hearted! When crisis arises, teacher is very helpful
We have seen instances where folks who are unprepared pick some mantras on the net, collect deities like stamps, moved on to every deity one can think of, and ended up with health issues, poverty and severe psychosis, and schizophrenia. Tantra is a fast path, and it comes with risks.
So my advice is to thoroughly research the topic, identify your goals and tread carefully. There is no turning back after a point. Picking up random mantras and then abandoning them causes misery across lifetimes due to complex energetic debts.
And there is also the Buddhist tantra 
Good sources:

- David Frawley
- Mark S. G. Dyczkowski
Kashmir Shaivism sadly is lost as a living school. Due to severe Islamic conquest, rapes and murders, Kashmiri Pandits were massacred and lost their knowledge. Now, the Tantra remains mostly as a meditational/intellectual school (e.g., Vijnanabhairava Tantra) devoid of actual elements of Tantra which are needed to call a path, “Tantra”.
Kali and Srividya schools are the two living schools of Hindu Tantra today that have carried forth unbroken lineage transmission which alone reveals higher aspects of a deity. Buddhist schools are more accessible today especially after the Chinese aggression in Tibet which resulted in several elderly Lamas migrating to the West.

Not familiar with this guy!
Chris Wallace, albeit New Agey, is not bad. I would not call what he teaches as ‘Tantra’ in the strict sense but he does teach elements of Tantra. He attended one of my talks, I think at Berkeley, and was a pretty nice and sincere guy. Energy was good too!

Ah man, thank you for responding!
I must say I read your posts to her and she got scared to even do anything related to tantra…
Thank you for really clarifying things for us,
This is what I think this Charles Muir guy is like
She really respects him and is closed off from expanding more into a different path right now after this mornings talk maybe more than ever…
She doesn’t respect certain things (especially Deities) like I do,
Can I talk to you more privately about it? I don’t want to put her on blast
She did tell me not to ask you anything after this morning, but I think she’s just upset after our talk and not open to making good decisions, I know her well, and I think she would greatly benefit from being able to talk to you
She needs to respect Supreme Goddess, and I get upset too when there is none.
I actually got to a point in the conversation where I didn’t even want to talk a single moment more on anything involving tantra until Supreme Goddess is respected (she showed lack of respect, she sort of 10% believes in her existence at times, and then 0%, who can blame her? But I’m still upset, I have much to grow myself)
So yeah after reading this and talking about it a little, she defended this Charles Muir guy like crazy as typical… And I got really upset when Supreme Goddess wasn’t respected, so this is our morning for now
Maybe it’s best to talk about it openly, for the forums and all
But i want to be even more real with my questions…
I’ll read her this post of mine now

Definitely would to her
But you know me, I would love to involve myself fully into Tantra with her
(I love the Gods and Goddesses…)
If she would like ultimately, that is
