Tantra Tip of the Day Practicing Surrender

Take a moment and feel into your body. Scan it from head to toe. Would you say its over-all tone is relaxed or constricted? Are some areas of your body open and others closed? Breathe into the areas of tension. See if you can let go of the need to control and be present with what is.

How does it feel to surrender to the moment? Are you able to trust the process or do you or find fault with what is arising? Is there a tendency to judge your self or blame others? Do you frequently resist what is arising in the moment? Is there a habit to try and control or change what is unfolding around you? What would it be like to surrender into the flow of life and trust that the universe is supporting you in every moment?

What a Difference a Week Makes!

I recently had a couple tell me their relationship and sexuality had improve profoundly after studying Tantra with me for just one week. The man was very new to Tantra and a bit skeptical. After practicing the exercises he was amazed to feel orgasmic energy throughout his body. Especially around his heart and head. The next day he excitedly reported that while making love he had 2 orgasms just a few minutes apart. " This is something I never thought could happen to me!"

The woman was delighted to report that for the first time in her life she had experienced a vaginal orgasm with sexual intercourse. She also felt that the communication exercises were helping them move through old issues and discover deeper intimacy and connection.

The tools I teach are very accessible. They can significantly improve your life.

Sound Healing with the Bija Mantras

Art by www.Mandalas.com

Recently, I was in Tucson and I taught this Chakra clearing practice to the Tantra in Tucson Meetup group. It proved to be a powerful and healing experience for them. I hope you find it helpful.


Bija Mantra Chakra Clearing Practice

This is a sound technique that can remove blocks and activate the energy centers. Activating these energy centers allows ecstatic energy to flow into every part of the body. When ecstasy flows, it enhances every aspect of your life- sexual, spiritual, mundane, etc....

Create a quiet, beautiful space where you will not be disturbed. Turn off the phones. Read over the entire practice before you begin, so you both understand the practice.

How to Tone the Bija Mantras

The Bija Mantras are sacred sounds that resonate with each chakra. "Bija" means "seed." Each Bija Mantra is a specific sound that activates, clears and amplifies its particular chakra.

The first 5 seed sounds rhyme with the word "mom" :

1-"LAM" (Root Chakra)
2-"VAM" (Belly Chakra)
3-"RAM" (Solar Plexus Chakra)
4-"YAM" (Heart Chakra)
5-"HAM" (Throat Chakra)

The 6th seed sound rhymes with the word "home" :

6-"OM" (Third Eye Chakra)

7-Silence (Crown Chakra)

One way to remember the order of the Bija Mantras is with the acronym LoVeR, You Have Orgasms.

The order in which we do the practice is different for men and women. With a man, you begin at the root and move up to the crown because masculine energy is associated with the sky, consciousness, and emptiness. With a woman, you begin at the crown and move down to the root, because feminine energy is associated with the Earth, life and embodied bliss.

If you are doing this practice alone, place your hand over each successive chakra and say the appropriate mantra. As you tone, send the energy into each chakra with your hand and intention.

If you are doing this practice with a partner you will be toning the appropriate Bija Mantra into the associated chakra center. As you tone into each chakra, you will want to create a tube with your hands. Place your lips up against the opening of the tube you've created and make a seal. You will place the other end of the tube either against your partner's body or a few inches away (depending on your partner's boundaries.) As you tone through the tube, it allows the mantra to travel deeply into the body, clearing and activating the chakra. Practice a few times until you feel comfortable with the process.

I recommend toning into each chakra 3 times. After each chakra, wait 1-2 minutes for the receiver to fully integrate each sound. After completing all 7 chakras, put on some meditative music and sit or lie with the receiver, allowing them time to integrate this experience. Finally, take a few minutes to communicate your experience with each other. If partnered, this is the point where you would switch roles.

Toning on each Chakras, men root to crown, women crown to root.
Using seed syllables:

Men
1-Lam
2-Vam
3-Ram
4-Yam
5-Ham
6-OM
7-Silent

Women
7-Silent
6-OM
5-Ham
4-Yam
3-Ram
2-Vam
1-Lam

Become a Better Lover: Give Your Goddess These 3 Gifts

Photo by Sky Dancer

Master these 3 gifts and you will be able to honor the Goddess in your life.

Give Her Your Masculine Presence

Spacious awareness is one of the qualities of masculine energy. When you step out of mental chatter and are fully present in the moment, she will feel it and want to open to you. Women like to feel special and, when you focus your full attention on her she will begin to feel like the Goddess that she is.

If she is open to physical touch and the setting is appropriate, greet her is with a melting hug. If you are taller, bend your knees and align with her, belly-to-belly, heart-to-heart. Place your right hand on her heart and your left hand on her lower back, as you hold her, breathe with her. When the hug ends, look deeply into her eyes without speaking. See the Goddess within her and let her see the God within you. Then, share something that you appreciate about her, "You look radiant tonight."

Listen to Her Body

Flow is one of the qualities of feminine energy. In order to be in her flow, a woman needs to open her heart, connect with her body and her breath. Spend as much time listening to her body, as you do to her words. Tune into her breath. Is her breath shallow or deep? How is she holding her body? Is her body tense or relaxed? How does her heart feel? Is it open or closed? Allow your presence to help her to open her heart and relax her body. This happens when she trusts you and feels she can relax and surrender into the moment. The more present you are the more she can surrender.

One way to tune into her body is by lying next to her- either spooning behind her with your hand over her heart or facing her in the Scissors Position. (Scissors Position- one of her legs between yours and her other leg is resting on top of your hip.) Then, begin to breathe with her. If you are facing her, you can also gaze into each other's eyes as you breathe together.

Try exploring touch in a variety of ways. Touch has a qualitative difference depending on the intention you have when you touch someone. Are you touching them to give them pleasure or to take pleasure for yourself? Are they tolerating your touch or drinking it in with relish. Be sensitive to how you give and receive touch. Explore touching each other while holding different intentions- give, take, accept, allow, adore, and tolerate. See what you discover through your touching process.

Try something new- blindfold her and spend an hour caressing every part of her body, except her yoni. (Yoni is a Sanskrit word, meaning "cosmic matrix," which we use in Tantra instead of the term "vagina.") Use your fingers, lips, hands, feathers, flowers and even food. When her whole body is vibrating with desire it will be easier to listen to what her body wants sexually.

Also, remember that women enjoy giving, as well as receiving. Give your Goddess a chance to give you pleasure too. See if she can read your body. Tell her how you like to be touched. You might want to let her blindfold you and touch you body everywhere accept your vajra, ("vajra," means thunderbolt in Sanskrit and is the word we use in Tantra instead of "penis.") to get you vibrating as well. Allow pleasure to flow and guide you into lovemaking if that feels right to both of you.

When you are making love, let go any ideas you have about what "should" occur, let pleasure be your guide. Let go of expectations and see what unfolds. Be respectful of each other. Allow your body-wisdom to guide you both into places neither of you may have been to before.

Honor Her Temple and Close the Gate

After making love, take time to honor and appreciate the connection you shared. Snuggle and breathe together for a few minutes. Intercourse involves entering the woman's body, her "temple." After sex of any kind, but especially after intercourse, she needs time to integrate her experience. One way to facilitate this is to end your sacred time together by placing your hand over her yoni. Be very present and hold space for her so she can allow her experience to integrate physically, emotionally and spiritually. Then, consciously close the gate of her yoni. This ritual helps a woman to ground back into her body and it creates a sense of completion. It also makes a woman feel that she is being honored and treated with care.

Thanks for taking the time to read this article. Go out and apply what you have learned. Being a better lover means creating a world with more love in it and the world can always use more love.
