What is Tantra? 

• Common Assumptions: sexual orgy, (Machine Poem), only for women: men are not allowed to ejaculate, esoteric yoga positions, poly-amory, “The Science of Yoga: The Myths & Rewards” by William Broad, science writer for the NYT

• Maureen Dowd: “The discipline that started out centuries ago as “a sex cult,’ with rapacious vagabond yogis focused on “the path to the ecstatic union” and enlightenment known as Tantra, maintains its ability to calm and arouse at the same time.”

“A small trove of illuminating reports and investigation,”…show that yoga “can in fact result in surges of sex hormones and brainwaves, among other signs of sexual arousal.”

What is it really?

Spiritual System: Love is a sacrament,

Dialogue Shiva/Shakti, masculine (focused, forward) & feminine (receptive, open), not gender specific, Esoteric Hindu Books, sexual rituals, disciplines, meditations, breath work, white Tantra, getting our busy mind out of the way by using the Right side of the brain with Yantra’s and Mantra’s

Tibetan Buddhist Tantric Master Lama Yeshe: 

“…each one of us is a union of all universal energy. Everything we need in order to be complete is within us right this very moment. It is simply a matter of being able to recognize it. This is the tantric approach.”

-  And it is also the IFS approach

-  Tantra is about being aware of all the emotions and embracing it and not pushing it away. Compassion for the parts in IFS.

Discussion with Poems 

Song by Dakini Kambala:“Kye Ho! Wonderful!Lotus pollen wakes up in the heart’s center – The bright flower is free from mud.Where do the color and fragrance come from?Why accept or reject them?”

Female Tantrika 8th C writing 

“Activities that are graceful, heroic, terrifying, Compassionate, furious, and peaceful – And passion, anger, greed, pride, and envy –All these things without exceptionAre the perfect forms of pure, self-illuminating 

wisdom.”

• Dick Schwartz: “When the parts relax and step back, and when Self remains present in both partners, sex truly transforms into making love.”
