Classical Tantra refers to esoteric texts on spiritual practice dating back to 6th-century Asia. These practices consist primarily of subtle body exercises through breathwork and meditation, mantra recitation, and ritual worship. Tantra predates and includes the traditional yogic paths of service, insight, meditation, and devotion. Like various other Eastern traditions, the aim is to expand consciousness, to transcend the ego, and to move towards awakening or liberation.
Neo-Tantra is a new spiritual movement that emerged in early 20th-century north America. It focuses mostly on intimacy and authentic relating, including sexuality, and on deconditioning oneself from toxic social patterns. It may or may not include practices from classical tantra. Drawing upon contemporary psychosomatic modalities, it incorporates work on consent, gender, touch, and other issues related to intimacy. It is mainly about personal healing and growth as well as developing relational intelligence.
