What does tantra mean in the context of expansion?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Tantra is the art of being totally present, where the dream of separation dissolves and the oneness with existence is revealed."

According to Osho, tantra means expansion as the effortless widening of awareness that remembers our already-present oneness with existence. Nothing is added from outside; when the mind stops roaming, consciousness expands into the crystal-clear herenow, and the feeling of unity flowers. Tantra is simply being totally present so the dream of separation dissolves and our indivisible nature is revealed.
Tantra is just opening your awareness right now so you feel one with everything instead of lost in thoughts.

- Heals loneliness by sensing unity with life.
- Offers a practical method: pause, breathe, notice; let the mind settle and remember oneness.
