Tantra Talk: Sex Magic Ritual Jan. 2011


New Years is one of my favoirte holidays (next to Haloween or Witch's New Years!) My favorite rituals are the ones where we die to the past, declare new intentions, forgive ourselves and others and co-creating a new reality. Last week an intimate and sincere group of tantra practitioners gathered to share a sweet evening of sex magic. This was a safe "white" ritual wherein we supported eachother in asking for exactly what we wanted to manifest and then merged our intentions with sensual energy and surrendered it to the universe, in the highest good of all. I look forward to doing a similar all women's ritual in Feb. 18th. Go to calendar for details: www.BlissCoach.com

Confessions of a courtesan...

I confess I find more ecstasy
in passion than in prayer.
I confess...
I pray still...
...to feel the touch
of my lover's lips...
...his hands upon me...
...his arms enfolding me
Such surrender has been mine.
I confess I hunger still
to be filled and inflamed.
To melt into the dream of us...
...beyond this troubled place...
...to where we are not even ourselves.
To know that always.
...always this is mine.
Your Grace...She hopes to bewitch us all.
If this had not been mine,
if I had lived another way...
...a child to a husband's whim...
...my soul hardened from lack of touch
and lack of love...
...I confess such endless days
and nights...
...would be punishment greater
than any you could mete out.

You, all of you...
...who hunger for what I give but cannot
bear to see such power in a woman...
...you call God's greatest gift...
...ourselves...
...our yearning, our need to love,
you call it filth...
...and sin and heresy...

I repent there was no other way
open to me. I do not repent my life.

From Dangerous Beauty, a movie based on a true story about Veronica Franco (1546–1591) was an Italian poet and courtesan in 16th century Venice.

Charles Muir is coming to San Diego!

Charles Muir is considered the Pioneer of the Modern Tantra Movement in the US. In 1980, he originated the Sacred Spot Massage, and many other experiential exercises, which have become cornerstones in the curriculum of most Tantra educators. This weekend is a rare opportunity for you to study directly with the "Grandfather of the Tantra Renaissance in America". He'll be teaching with his beloved Leah Alchin, and Advanced Certified Tantra Educator. There will be various other Certified Tantra educators and like-minded participants from all over the country.

In this powerful weekend, you will discern the secrets of sexual intimacy, passion, and spiritual connections! Here's just some of what you may learn to make you a conscious and masterful lover:!

- Breathing in lovemaking ~ key to ecstasy
- The lost art of kissing ~ 5 styles of erotic and esoteric kissing
- 6 kinds of healing and erotic touch
- The keys to increasing intimacy & spiritual union
- Freeing the female orgasm ~ it's easy!

- Advanced lovemaking techniques you will use forever
- Female sacred spot massage ritual ~ step-by-step instructions to heal, awaken and release unlimited energy
- Internal muscular exercises for increased energy & pleasure
- And so much more

The Art of Conscious Loving® seminars provide the education we never had and always needed in order to have wonderful, real, and lasting love and rediscover the full potential of our sexual energy.
Rather than a touchy-feely course about sex, Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving is a spiritual yet practical guide to being present and intimate with the most important person in your life. Sure, there is a lot of discussion about sex, but only in the context of celebrating yourself, your partner, your love, and life itself...this should be required learning for all people.

Have you ever felt there must be something more to sexual loving? In just a few days, you will discover the ancient secrets of female and male sexual ecstasy. You will learn to use sexual energy for increased intimacy, spiritual connection, pleasure and harmony, and turn sex into a relationship practice of healing energy, renewal, and transformation.

Are you tired of chasing weak orgasms? Women can experience
longer, deeper, faster, and more powerful, and fulfilling orgasms. Men
can orgasm without tiring ejaculations. You can tap into an endless,
spontaneous flow of creative love energy.

In ancient India, Tantric sex was taught as an art form that every conscious person must master. Now you can learn these ancient and proven skills, translated into a 21st century art form, and experience harmonious and joyful union. No explicit sexual activity or nudity takes place in class; optional home play is assigned.
