Today a young blond boy at the gym said. "i have heard of tantra, so what does ecstatic mean?"

Sometimes i am not so sure how to answer questions in an understandable way.. I know how i see things, but how can some else understand such an esoteric concept.

I mentioned it had to do with ecstasy, and not the drug. but the feel of ecstasy and the expression of ecstasy. Many indigenous culture have ecstatic rituals to reach a state or ecstasy, some include movement, dance, spinning, chanting, and some include drinking or eating altering substances. Tantra teaches us that we can use our body, and austino's erotic-tantra uses arousal to reach ecstatic states. It is pretty easy to do, and with some dedication, some discipline, and practice over time more intense states are possible.

Here is a dictionary definition or ecstatic.
