Introduction to Tantra
Tantric Sexuality
by Marc Haberman
One of the many rewards of tantra is that one finds
out that there is more to sex than sex. Most men follow this common
practice of being sexually stimulated, erect, and ejaculate all in 10 or
15 minutes at the most. That's it. It is over with in a few minutes. Why
short change yourself when you can go for hours, with more pleasure and
with plenty of sexual energy in reserve. In other words, sexuality is a sacred experience that can transform your
life and give new meaning to the word sex; far greater than you have
experienced thus far. Let me give you some examples. Most men live under
the false belief that daily masturbation up to the age of 40 or 50 is
being virile and healthy. The reality is that in following some tantric
self control concepts, you will find that once every few weeks or even
once a month is better. Therefore, your reserves of sexual energy are
greater for better sex with your partner. Eventually you will find little
need to masturbate, because the internal orgasms that you develop during
sex are better than ejaculating.
My studies and practice in tantric sexuality over the past 15 years have
been the most rewarding and practical in all my sexual and spiritual
development over the past 50 years. Tantra is a philosophy of
consciousness, that employs myriad techniques honoring the
connection between the body, sex and the spirit. Sexuality treated in a
sacred way can be a spiritual path toward enlightenment. That is what
makes it so fun, yet inspiring and life changing. The direct results will
be deeper intimacy with yourself and your partner, expanded awareness of
body and soul, greater capacity of sexual pleasure, and ultimately greater
personal power.
Benefits of Tantra
by Robert Frey
Tantra, the ancient sacred approach to sexuality,
has much to offer modern men and women. Tantric teaching are both a
spiritual approach to sexuality and a sexual/sensual approach to
spirituality.
Tantra offers easy, effective, reliable methods for meditating, quieting
the mind, and reaching positive states of consciousness. Couples who have been in a relationship or marriage for many years and
have lost the sexual spark often regain it through Tantra.
Tantra offers a marvelous and satisfying resolution to the age-old dilemma
of Should I have sex (even though it doesn't feel right for me) to keep
this persons love and interest, or should I shay No and risk losing the
connection and the romance?
Practicing Tantra is wonderful for developing self-love, confidence, and
trust in oneself, both sexually and in a more total sense. Learning to
know and command how energy and awareness move through one's body can be
both delightful and very empowering.
The techniques of Tantra teach lovers to guide their sexual energy from
their heart, to meet in heart-centered, honoring ways.
The practices also allow trained practitioners to make love and explore
shared bliss states for hours at a time. It's not unusual for a Tantric
love making session to last two to four hours, or even more. The
experience is usually both relaxing, invigorating, and mutually
satisfying.
For women the Tantric experience is more multi-orgasmic and more
satisfying than with typical Western sex (usually over all too soon!)

Sacred
Sex and the Awakening of Your Soul
by Amorah Quan Yin
In most ancient spiritual cultures and mystery
schools, the role of tantra, or sacred sex, was understood as vital to
spiritual awakening. Today numerous spiritual traditions still practice
tantra. In the hieroglyphics of the Luxor Temple in Egypt you can still
find symbolic depiction of sexual initiation. Mayan elders speak of
sexuality as what orbits the planets and stars and connects us to the
Milky Way and the universe. The Incan acknowledge the entire second stage
of their mystery school as that of developing sacred sexuality in which
both partners lovingly assist one other in moving toward "Christed
consciousness." Buddhists, certain Hindu sects, ancient Essenes, and
others also hold sacred sexuality as key to their paths. The Dolphin Star
Temple Mystery School, of which I am the founder, divides its teachings
into three primary stages. The first is awakening your Ka: ego
transcendence, adapting a spiritual identity, and embodiment of your
Higher Self. The second stage is awakening your Ba: healing and awakening
of your soul through tantric sexuality. The third stage is awakening your
Mer-Ka-Ba: union of your Higher Self and soul into your multidimensional
hologram as held in place with sacred geometry.
As you begin to understand the indispensable relevance
of right use of sexual energy to spiritual awakening, the focus turns
inward to, "What can I do to make myself capable of and available for this
aspect of awakening?" Some of those who practice tantra today have
forgotten the major keys for this aspect of awakening which are surrender,
love, and sacredness. There are those who practice tantra who have omitted
these ingredients while doing all the techniques accurately. The end
result will eventually be the attainment of power that is devoid of
surrender to love and sacredness. And I believe we have enough history
behind us to understand the dangers implicit in such attainment.
To assist you in further understanding sacred sexuality
and its connection to your soul's awakening, I would like to offer the
following channeling from one of my books. Archangel An-Ra is a feminine
Light Being who is a member of the Pleiadian Archangelic Tribes of Light.
She and other Pleiadian Archangels have long been involved in the
spiritual teachings and mystery schools of Egypt, Lemuria, many Native
American Tribes, the Maya, Inca, Hindu, and many others. The rest of this
article is a channeled excerpt from The Pleiadian Tantric Workbook:
Awakening Your Divine Ba, published by Bear and Co. of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, copyright 1997. An-Ra speaks:
Beloveds, I am most grateful for the opportunity to speak to you ...and to
bring you a wondrous story of creation, sexuality, and the awakening of
your soul to its full potential and glory. You see, in truth, it is
impossible to speak thoroughly about any of these three subjects without
speaking of all three. The beauty of creation is that it involves all
aspects of existence, as symbolized microcosmically in your body and
consciousness. Beyond this lifetime, or all of
your lifetimes, there is an ongoing eternal wave of Creation. You see, in
the beginning was the word, and the word was, "I Am." From Oneness, in a
deep state of silence and peace, came the awakening to its own existence:
"I Am." Within that Oneness, or Divine Source existed infinite
possibilities. And each of us is one of those possibilities. Original
Creation began when Oneness next thought, "If I exist, what else exists?"
Then the division of Oneness into two birthed the first cosmic twins, Holy
Mother and Holy Father. Their first experience of each other was one of
awe, wonder, and loving adoration. This impulsed them into a spontaneous
blending into Oneness again, and was what you might think of as the first
tantric union. From that point, they began to birth possibilities,
beginning with the Elohim and Archangels. From these Light Beings was
birthed all of existence. And original Creations were all conceived and
birthed in deep love including your own. And the impulse for union and
Creation was always love and adoration and wanting to be One with the
Beloved other. Now we come to the part about
human creation, conception and birthing. Needless to say, because of the
nature of your birth experience coming through your mother's womb, the
energy with which you were created, or conceived, will determine greatly
your experience of yourself. Anything less than innocent love and
adoration between parents at the time of conception, gestation, and
birthing sets karmic patterns in place to be worked out in that life time.
And you choose parents who will anchor the specific karmic patterns you
need to transcend. If your mother felt ashamed of having sex, even with
her husband, and your father was having pornographic fantasies instead of
loving your mother and being present with her, these energies were
imprinted on your soul as you entered your body at birth. Your initial
imprint of male/female relationships, your own inner male and female
aspects, and your relationship to your mother and father and to the world
all come from the energy between your parents at the moment of conception.
Was your mother relieved that your father was finally through? Did she
feel like weeping but held the tears back instead? Or did she fake an
orgasm in order to secretly have a sense of secret power over him? Did
your father roll over, mumble good-night, and try not to look at your
mother so he could hold onto his pretend fantasy in which the porno damsel
was swept off her feet by his amorous and ardent love-making? Did he
resent your mother for not responding that way? Or did he hold a double
standard of thinking it vile for a woman to enjoy sex, while secretly
fantasizing himself as an incredible lover that no woman could resist? Or
perhaps you were fortunate and had parents who were healthy sexually and
really loved each other. Without healthy
sexual attitudes and experiences, it is impossible to give birth to
awakened, fully healthy children. Without male and female equality, love,
adoration for one another, trust, respect, and shared innocence, full
communion with Oneness is impossible as are peace, freedom, and joy. The
lust-seduction control games; sexual attitudes of distrust, shame,
lovelessness, and separation; as well as lack of spiritual presence during
intercourse are literally destroying your soul's ability to experience
wholeness and health in the third dimension. You see, your soul is
directly impulsed by all sexual experiences whether loving and satisfying,
or otherwise. If you are on a spiritual path, meditating regularly,
clearing your emotions, healing your past lives, and seeing the finest of
healers, you will still only be able to attain to an unsatisfactory level
of spiritual awareness and wholeness if your sexual energy is not moving
freely, fully, and lovingly through your body and soul. You need not have
a partner in order to experience this, but your gendered relationships,
both internal and external, must be balanced and healthy.
What you call sexual energy, or sexual expression, is
the stuff of which existence is both made and sustained. When a couple in
love experiences total surrender one to the other during a heightened
sexual experience, they become blended into a single consciousness
containing equal parts male and female. The original experience of
Oneness, or God, awakening to its own existence, and responding, was , "I
Am," meaning, "I exist." That experience led to Oneness individuating its
own male and female halves, then blending them into Oneness again. A
rhythm or union, individuation, union, individuation was set in place, and
cosmically, has continued ever since. So is the sacred function of your
sexuality intended to bring about the same ecstasy and experience of
Oneness as the original awakening of existence.
The female vulva is a geometric gateway to the cosmos.
The vagina is the spiraling passageway through which a person must travel
in order to enter the womb, which is the microcosm of the egg of
existence. As the egg is "hatched," or fully activated, energy and
consciousness move directly through another spiraling tunnel or passageway
to the woman's soul. From the woman's soul the energy and light of love is
sent out in waves back to her partner and through existence
simultaneously. These waves are like ripples on water, only holographic.
They are like bubbles expanding in wavelike motion as opposed to ripples
on a flat surface. These waves create a blending of the soul of the woman
and her partner. The love and ecstasy created by their union is
transmitted through a spiral passageway down through the male's body into
his prostate which further excites his penis to transmit the love,
adoration, and joy energies passionately into the woman's vagina. This
cycle is repeated in a continuum once both the male and female have
totally surrendered to giving and receiving love and relinquishing all
control. The two become a microcosm of the macrocosm of existence. They
spin the galaxies together, hold planets in form, spiritually activate one
another's souls and spirits through the dimensions, and heal each other
and all of existence: and all while having a great time! Sound easy?
Ideally yes. But your world has made it very complicated.
Trust and respect have been so long lost that you spend
more time testing one another, making each other prove yourselves, finding
reasons to doubt each other, and vying for control than you do creating
and enjoying your love relationships. And these things you call love
relationships are often little more than addictive pain patterns being
acted out. Love does not need to possess, control, degrade, withhold,
prove anything, distrust, or conquer. Love simply loves. It flows. It is
uninhibited, uncontrived, natural, innocent, and spontaneous. And while
discernment is needed in the selection of a partner, it need not prohibit
you from loving everyone. Did you know that humans are terrified of
feeling the totality of unconditional love? You have been taught to
restrain yourselves lest you make a fool of yourselves. You have been
taught that it is impossible to love fully without hurting if the other
person does not return your love and promise to stay forever. Without 100
percent guarantee that you will not "lose," you hold back a little or a
lot. It does not really matter how much. The point is that the flow has
been dammed and therefore controlled. What if
love were only possible by forfeiting all guarantees? What if love could
only exist in the presence of surrender? What if there were no such thing
as loss, only change? What if you had to let go before the other person
did without knowing whether he or she will ever let go or not? You would
risk disappointment; but that is all. If you have healthy self-esteem and
self-love the person you love cannot devastate or humiliate you. He or she
cannot make you feel unworthy; only you can! The object of love is not to
win someone over, break through their barriers, make them need or desire
you, or make sure you don't lose. The object of love is to love, to
cherish, to honor, to adore, to respect, to never harm, to appreciate and
never depreciate another. You can even love without objectification. This
is the nature of your true being, your soul, your spirit. To experience
love for no apparent reason and for no ulterior motive is a great sign
that you are nearing completion of your trials and karmic pain. It is the
way home to your true self. In the meantime, allowing yourself to
objectify love is a step in the right direction. To fill your life with
friends and/or a partner who naturally inspire you to love is a wonderful
thing. To surround yourself with sacred objects of beauty, to live in a
place you enjoy, to be in nature regularly, to do what you really like to
do are all important ingredients in life that can help you become a more
loving person. To be in relationships with people with whom you do not
resonate in order to try and learn to love them is not the quickest way to
work out your karma. It may show you your patterns, at best. But to remain
in a relationship that is all struggle and resistance can harm you and
your partner. Everyone, and all of creation, deserve to be loved and
adored. If you are with someone whom you cannot love and adore with all
your heart, it will serve you both more to separate than to remain
together. I am not speaking of a strong, loving relationship that
temporarily goes through a rough period. I am speaking of relationships in
which one or both of the people involved are in resistance and unhappiness
more often than not once the honeymoon phase is over. You see, when the
honeymoon phase ends, relationships are intended to deepen. The honeymoon
may be fun and inspirational, but it does not contain the depth that
long-term loving, supportive relationships do.
When the love, trust, and surrender between two people
in love are strong, either or both partners can go through difficult times
of emotional healing, job stress, or problems with friends and other
family members without affecting the bond in the relationship. If you are
in a relationship with someone you love, and about whom you deeply care,
to support them in the rough times as well as the easy times will be
natural and fulfilling. If you are, however, in a relationship chiefly
because the other person makes you feel good about yourself, fulfills your
sexual fantasies, and makes life better for you, then when your partner is
experiencing pain or difficulty you will feel abandoned, neglected, and
unhappy and you will probably blame your partner for it. In order for a
relationship to have any chance of bringing about true intimacy and
sustainable love, you must deeply care about your partner and his or her
life, feelings, and well-being, and be moved to want to give freely and
lovingly to your partner.
This type of relationship foundation is imperative in order to have the
relationship be an augment to your spiritual path and that of your
partner, and to achieve the type of sexual union that brings about healing
and awakening of your soul. The essential nature of the unrestrained soul
is tantra. This leads to being in a constant orgasmic state in your whole
body. In this state, energy blocks are dissolved, emotions released to
flow naturally, and spiritual experience of love and Oneness are the norm.
And it is what you and Earth most need at this time ...As always, our
intention is to make your process of awakening as loving, effective, and
gracious as possible while facilitating a deepening within yourself with
yourself, others, and Oneness. ...Ecstatic tantric love returns you to
Divine Flow and enlightenment. Amorah is
