Thousands of<br />people on 5 continents have attended the ISTA training over the past 14 years and have been<br />radically changed for the better by uncovering reactive patterns and transforming them into<br />conscious ways of being. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This retreat focuses on clearing the physical and emotional body of shame, guilt and fear<br />related to sexuality and authenticity. This is done through multiple pathways of healing: guided<br />visualization, emotional release, shamanic initiations, energy tracking and conscious touch are<br />just a few of the practices used to dive deep into the inner realms. The inner masculine and<br />inner feminine archetypes are explored because when they are fully integrated a door opens to<br />a deeper knowing of the Self as whole and complete.<br /><br />This event unfolds within a powerful group process based on unconditional love, intimacy and<br />acceptance of what is arising. By the end of this event, you will feel more open, relaxed and<br />present and be more in touch with effortless flow of life, no matter what it looks like.<br />No prior knowledge of shamanism or sacred sexuality is necessary to attend this retreat. This<br />event is about expanding beyond your comfort zone, while honoring your healthy boundaries.<br /><br />Nudity and intimate touch are a part of this training, however, you are always at choice and the<br />facilitators will help you navigate what is authentic for you. Individuals and couples of any<br />sexual preference are welcome to attend. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt;

This shadow is largely ignored, hidden from our awareness. When we seek spiritual enlightenment, we often ignore the negative aspects of ourselves and of life. The focus is on “love and light.” This is one the blind spots that I see in the New Age Movement. This is called "spiritual bypass." <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">In order to awaken, we need to recognize and transform that which lies hidden, in what Carl Jung called, "the shadow." Normally, we are blind to these disowned parts within our psyche. Instead, we project them onto others. When we see our shadow in them we react strongly—either by fearing them, judging them or in the case of the "shiny shadow," worshipping what we see. We often labeling them as angry, bossy, selfish or the opposite beautiful, brilliant or gifted. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Below is a 6-Step Process for transforming your shadow into your ally. This practice is inspired by discoveries I made in doing my own shadow work and while working with clients. It was further validated and expanded after I was introduced to the book, <i>Feeding Your Demons</i> by Tsultrim Allione. I was delighted to discover that the process I had developed was very similar to an ancient Tibetan Buddhist practice called Chod. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 1: Enter Your Sacred Garden and Find the Cave of Transformation<o:p></o:p></span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">See yourself standing before the gate of your Sacred Garden. Notice the size shape and texture of the gate. Enter your garden now! Notice the path beneath your feet. Allow your senses to become activated. Explore your garden. Notice it the sights, sounds, smells, and textures. What type of garden are you in? Is it formal or wild? Is it vast or small? Does it have a particular theme--such as Japanese, English or a Balinese Temple Garden? <b><o:p></o:p></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Now direct your attention to finding a cave that is here in your garden. This is the Cave of Transformation. Focus your attention on the path and allow yourself to be guided to where the cave is located. As you enter the cave you will notice that it is lit by a soft glow emitted from the walls and air around you. Explore the cave until you find an area with a pool. Near the pool notice there is a comfortable place to sit down. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 2: Finding the Shadow </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Sit quietly and take 7 deep belly breaths. Ask, "How has the shadow been showing up in your life recently?" It may take the form of a repeating pattern in your life that you react to with aversion or attraction. Call this shadow-part to you in the Cave. Allow it to take form in front of you. Notice its size, shape, color and texture. Does it feel hot or cold? Does it make a sound? Does it have a smell? <br /><b><br />Step 3: Allow the Shadow to Become Personified. </b><o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Once the initial form is clear, invite it to become personified, by giving it eyes, a mouth, arms and legs. Let you imagination be free to produce the image. Accept what shows up, even if it seems weird or silly. Don’t let your rational mind censor what is being revealed. This makes it easier for you to communicate with it. Next, you are going to communicate with your shadow to learn about its perspective, how it experiences life.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Ask your shadow these two questions. 1.) What do you need? 2.) How will you feel if you get what you need? In order to discover the answers to these questions you are going to step into the body/form of your shadow. Now, ask the two questions out loud. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 4: Become the Shadow and discover what it needs. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">You are now going switch places with the shadow and take on its form and perspective. As you step into the shadow feel its shape, size, form and energy. Let the shadow answer the first question aloud, in the first person. <b>What I need is . . .</b> <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">In this process you want to discover what the shadow <u>needs</u>, not what it <u>wants</u>. Often, the first answer is a want, instead of the deeper need. Giving it only what it wants, addresses the symptoms and not the need. Once it states the need, <b>make sure and clarify that this is what it needs, not just what it wants. </b>Until the underlying need is met, the shadow will continue to operate in the dark. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Now, ask the second question. <b>How will you feel if you get what you need?</b> This is the deeper question that will reveal what this shadow-part needs in order to be transformed. Here is an example- If this shadow-part's issue is control, it might answer: “I will feel like I can trust life fully.” Then you will give this shadow-part trust. By giving it the trust its desires, rather then the control it wants, the shadow is transformed. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 5: Transform the Shadow and Meet the Ally</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The time has come to transform the shadow. Return to your body. Take a moment to settle back into your own awareness. See the shadow-part in front of you. Notice the Pool of Transformation near by. Walk over to the pool, use your intention and <b>transformed water into the essence of what the shadow told you it would feel when its need was met</b>. The pool can be transformed into whatever quality or emotion is needed such as, truth, love, power or compassion. For example, if it said, “I will feel like I can trust life fully." See the pool as the essence of trust and the shadow-part absorbing it fully. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Invite the shadow-part to enter the Pool of Transformation. See the shadow drinking in what it needs through its mouth or through the pores of its skin, or taking it in some other way. Imagine that there is an infinite supply of this essence, and that the pool's essence is unlimited. While the shadow bathes in the pool, watch it carefully, as it most likely will begin to change. When the shadow-part has taken in everything it needs until it is completely satisfied, it frequently shape-shifts into a new form, it may become something completely new or disappear into mist. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The ally may appear as an animal, human, mythic god or bodhisattva. <b>Always ask, Are you my ally?</b> If it replies, no, then invite another ally to appear. When you see it clearly, take a few minutes to communicate with your ally. Discover what gifts it has for you. How you connect with it in the future? Finally, ask it to become one with you and merge together. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 6: Return Home</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">When the ally has been integrated, dissolve into spacious Awareness, which may feel like emptiness, freedom or being whole, even if this experience lasts only briefly, it is a returning home to the Self. Offer gratitude and leave the cave. Make your way back through the garden to the Gate. Step through it, back into this room, this moment. When you are ready open your eyes. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">By reclaiming our shadow, we not only find more love and compassion for others, we tap into vast new resources within ourselves. These resources can enrich our lives and relationships. I hope you found this practice helpful. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><br /></span><div align="center" class="style1" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Crystal Dawn Morris Contact: Cell 928-862-0762 or </span></b><a href="mailto:crystal@tantraforawakening.com"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">crystal@tantraforawakening.com</span></b></a><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"> </span></b><a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.com/"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">www.TantraforAwakening.com</span></b></a><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="style1"><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> This may be shared as long as no content is changed and full credit is given to author and copyright symbol is present.</span></i><span class="style11"><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"> © Crystal Dawn Morris 2011-2014</span></i></span><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>Crystal Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303222324497649948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320293925847577728.post-85750874223423814182015-02-11T11:18:00.001-07:002015-02-11T11:18:48.312-07:00The 2 Hour BLISS Meditation Challenge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HJiVODvzHzo/VNuaw_ffttI/AAAAAAAABps/_ytrykri7GA/s1600/Dakini-Lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HJiVODvzHzo/VNuaw_ffttI/AAAAAAAABps/_ytrykri7GA/s1600/Dakini-Lg.jpg" height="320" width="166" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sublimatrix.com/" target="_blank">Dakini by A.Andrew Gonzalez</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Presence is the sense I-Am or I Exist. It is the space in which all experiences arise. All appearances are made of Presence-Energy. Energy is another word for vibration. Thoughts are made of Presence-Energy. Every thought vibrates with a specific frequency. The higher the frequency of the thought the better you feel while thinking it.<br />The purpose of this practice is to discover that you can shape how you experience reality by harnessing the vibration of your thoughts. Simply focus on and stay aligned with positive high vibration thoughts and discover that you have the power to positively shape your reality by consciously choosing your frequency. As you begin to resonate at a high vibration life begins to match your frequency.<br /><br /> The Challenge is to set aside a 2 hour block of time to do this practice. For 2 hours you will focus on a high vibration or positive thought for 10 seconds out of every minute. I resonated with the vibration of BLISS. You want to choose the most exciting or inspiring vibration or thought you can think that is not dependent on outside conditions. In other words, “I am bliss embodied.” I love life.” “Giving my gifts feels good.” “This moment rocks.” Not, “I won the Lotto.” Or “Angela Jolie loves me.”<br /><br /> I used the acronym B.L.I.S.S. See below. The last "S" is a space for you to put whatever thought is most exciting for you in the moment.<br /><br /> <b>B </b>EING – Presence-Consciousness<br /><b>L </b>OVE – Awareness that All-Is-One<br /><b>I</b> NSPIRES – Bursting with Creativity<br /><b>S</b> PONTANEOUS– Freedom Now<br /><b>S</b> PACE …. For Whatever Feels Most Exciting and Expansive Now<br /><br /> If these words don’t resonate with you, pick your own. Experiment to see what vibration or thoughts most resonate for you. Such as:<br /> “I am amazing.”<br />“Life is awesome.”<br />“I love Existence.”<br /><br /> If you do this practice for 2 hours you will discover just how powerful you are. You will move beyond your limiting beliefs and discover that by transforming your resonance to a higher frequency you begin to manifest a life aligned with your dreams. You discover how effortless it is to be a conscious creator of your reality.<br /><br /> This article was inspired by Bentinho Massaro’s YouTube- A Simple Way to Raise Your Frequency and Vibration, 1.19.2015.

for Connecting to the Soul</span><span></span></span></span></i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">A Timeless Practice</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The eyes are the “windows to the soul.” When we gaze deeply into the eyes of another person, we can see beyond their physical form and personality into their essence. The practice of eye gazing is an ancient Tantric practice. It is found in the Hindu, Buddhist and Sufi traditions and is considered to be a path to enlightenment. The 13<sup>th</sup> century Sufi poet, Rumi, became enlightened while gazing into the eyes of his teacher. Many of Rumi’s poems celebrate the power of eye gazing. Here is an example:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Both our sets of eyes became drunk,</span></i></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Utterly intoxicated by the promise of Union.</span></i></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">O my God!</span></i></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">What is this union of eye to eye?!</span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Eye gazing is something you have probably done naturally, such as when gazing into the eyes of a newborn baby or when you first fell in love. Even when you are in a conversation and maintain eye contact, you are doing a less focused form of eye gazing. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Eye gazing can be done as a one-on-one meditation with a friend or beloved. It can also be done solo, by gazing into a mirror. You can integrate it into daily life by engaging people briefly, in passing, with the intent that when you meet their eyes you will see beyond their form, into their essence. Some of the benefits of this practice include: becoming more present, opening your heart and expanding your awareness of the Divine in all beings. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Heart Salutation</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">You begin this practice by acknowledging the Divine in each other with a Heart Salutation. Sit across from your partner and look into their eyes. Maintaining eye contact throughout the rest of the process, begin by extending your arms towards the earth, palms together. Then, inhale and keeping your hands in prayer position, bring them to your heart. Exhale, as you bow forward and acknowledge the Divine in each other with the Sanskrit salutation “Namaste.” Namaste means “I honor the Divine in you as a reflection of the Divine in me.” Inhale, as you straighten back up. Finally, exhale as you allow your hands to return to the starting position, pointed towards the earth.<br /><br /><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Bubble</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Now, create a bubble around you and your partner. Do this by waving your arms around both of you as you define the shape of the bubble that surrounds you. Then, gesture as if removing an object from your bubble and verbally share what you are removing from the bubble out loud. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are things that won't serve you in this practice (the past, distractions, anger, worry, etc.) Next, gesture and state what things you want to bring into the bubble. These are things that will enhance your connection (love, willingness, presence, trust etc.) At this point, you may want to offer an appreciation or blessing to the other person (“I honor your heart, which gives so much love to the world.”) Creating the bubble helps to call you into present moment awareness and creates a safe space in which to practice the eye gazing meditation.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Share Your Desires, Fears and Boundaries</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Once the bubble is created, share your intentions/desires, fears and boundaries related to this practice. First, one person speaks while the other person listens without judgment or commentary. Then you switch roles. Here is an example:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I desire to stay present, open and connect deeply to your soul.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“My fear is that I will get self-conscious and will start acting silly.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“My boundary is to stay connected to you, even if resistance arises.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />Why boundaries? When I teach this practice in my classes, people often have resistance to setting boundaries. I explain that boundaries are not walls, they are bridges. Bridges helps to bring people together. Intimacy happens when people have healthy boundaries. Healthy boundaries allow you to feel safe, stay open and be present. Boundaries are dynamic, so it is important to check-in periodically with yourself to see if your boundaries have changed. If they have changed, update your partner so they can honor your new boundaries. Here are a few examples: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I need to end this practice by noon.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I don’t want to be touched during this meditation.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I will stay present. If I go into thinking, I will close my eyes for a moment to bring myself back into the practice.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Eye Gazing Practice</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Once you have created the bubble and shared your desires, fears and boundaries, begin the eye gazing practice. Traditionally, it is recommended that you begin by gazing into left eye. This is because the left side of the body is considered to be the receptive side. Use a soft gaze. This is not a staring contest. It is ok to change eyes if and when you feel called too. Just relax, breathe and allow the experience to unfold. Notice what arises without judging it. Be open and curious, like a child. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">You can do this practice for as long as you want. I suggest the first time you begin with 2 to 5 minutes of eye gazing. Then, close your eyes, go inside and reconnect internally for 1-2 minutes. When you are ready, open your eyes and begin again. Extend the time as you get more comfortable with the process. Doing this practice for an extended period of time can take you to new levels of connection. Set aside a time when you can practice for 45 to 60 minutes. Afterwards, discuss your experience with your partner. <br /><br />Eye gazing is a great way to discover how open you are and to see if any resistance arises. If you feel resistance, see if you can allow it to melt. How does it feel to be seen? How does it feel to look deeply into another person? This is a great practice for developing a deeper heart connection. It can be helpful to keep a journal of your experiences.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Eye gazing is a simple and powerful practice. It can cut though illusion and open the door to Truth. When done regularly, it can transform your understanding of who you are. Even if this is the only Tantric meditation you ever do, you could awaken through this practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I invite you to practice eye gazing with your friends and lovers. </span></div><h3><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Crystal Dawn Morris</span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">, is an Enlightened Intimacy Coach and Teacher of Tantric Wisdom.

It teaches people how to move their sexual energy from their genitals, up to the top of their head, and everywhere in between, allowing the entire physical and energetic body to become ecstatic. When the sexual energy reaches the crown it can expand a persons awareness of the mystical realms, allowing them to recognize they are Divine Consciousness in human form. </div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A full body orgasm is the experience of feeling your whole body vibrating with orgasmic energy.

Exhale with an open mouth and release a deep sound from the belly. Sound also intensifies the expansion of energy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">4) Now, allow your pelvis to begin rocking. Keeping the knees bent, let your pelvis rotate freely. As you inhale rock the hips back, arching the small of the back. As you exhale, tuck the tail bone under, flattening the small of the back. Breath, sound and movement are the 3 keys to opening the body to bliss.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">5) Next, add the PC pump. As you inhale squeeze the pelvic floor muscles pulling them upwards and as you exhale let them relax back down. It feels a bit like you are trying to stop and start a stream of urine. These are sometimes called Kegel exercises.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">6) Put all the steps together. As you inhale imagine you are breathing the energy up from your root to your heart. Practice this until you feel the energy pulsing from your root to your heart.

You learn to experience orgasmic energy outside of a sexual context and discover that you can awaken your own pleasure body with out genital contact. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The practice-You begin by standing with your feet hip width apart and knees bent. Allow your thighs to begin to vibrate side to side. Allow the vibration the spread up and down the body until your whole body is vibrating. It is helpful to do this with music, I recommend Osho's Kundalini Meditation CD.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2) The bliss response is the process of being relaxed in high states of arousal. You learn to become a bigger container for ecstatic energy and to relax fully letting the energy naturally expand. The effect is one of sexual excitement and deep peace. When you master the bliss response you move beyond the genital orgasm and discover the full body orgasm. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The practice- After several minutes of allowing your whole body to shake, lay down on the floor with your knees bent and your feet close together. Let your knees gently fall apart like a butterflies wings opening. Allow your body to relax fully and continue to open and close your knees. This process allows the ecstatic energy to spread throughout the body. This is best done listening to gentle, relaxing music.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">3) Once you mastered opening the central channel of bliss and have experienced the full body orgasm outside a sexual context you can introduce these practices into your love-making and explore them within a sexual context. Sex becomes an alchemical experience that transforms the physical body into the Bliss Body.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If you'd like to learn more about Tantra and Crystal's events, sign-up for her free monthly newsletter at: <a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.TantraforAwakening.com</span></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: blue;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Crystal Dawn Morris is the founder of Tantra for Awakening.

This shadow is largely ignored, hidden from our awareness. When we seek spiritual enlightenment, we often ignore the negative aspects of ourselves and of life. The focus is on “love and light.” This is one the blind spots that I see in the New Age Movement. This is called "spiritual bypass." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">In order to awaken, we need to recognize and transform that which lies hidden, in what Carl Jung called, "the shadow." Normally, we are blind to these disowned parts within our psyche. Instead, we project them onto others. When we see our shadow in them we react strongly—either by fearing them, judging them or in the case of the "shiny shadow," worshipping what we see. We often labeling them as angry, bossy, selfish or the opposite beautiful, brilliant or gifted. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Below is a 6-Step Process for transforming your shadow into your ally. This practice is inspired by discoveries I made in doing my own shadow work and while working with clients. It was further validated and expanded after I was introduced to the book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Feeding Your Demons</i> by Tsultrim Allione. I was delighted to discover that the process I had developed was very similar to an ancient Tibetan Buddhist practice called Chod. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 1: Enter Your Sacred Garden and Find the Cave of Transformation</span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">See yourself standing before the gate of your Sacred Garden. Notice the size shape and texture of the gate. Enter your garden now! Notice the path beneath your feet. Allow your senses to become activated. Explore your garden. Notice it the sights, sounds, smells, and textures. What type of garden are you in? Is it formal or wild? Is it vast or small? Does it have a particular theme--such as Japanese, English or a Balinese Temple Garden? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Now direct your attention to finding a cave that is here in your garden. This is the Cave of Transformation. Focus your attention on the path and allow yourself to be guided to where the cave is located. As you enter the cave you will notice that it is lit by a soft glow emitted from the walls and air around you. Explore the cave until you find an area with a pool. Near the pool notice there is a comfortable place to sit down. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 2: Finding the Shadow </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Sit quietly and take 7 deep belly breaths. Ask, "How has the shadow been showing up in your life recently?" It may take the form of a repeating pattern in your life that you react to with aversion or attraction. Call this shadow-part to you in the Cave. Allow it to take form in front of you. Notice its size, shape, color and texture. Does it feel hot or cold? Does it make a sound? Does it have a smell? <br /><b><br />Step 3: Allow the Shadow to Become Personified. </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Once the initial form is clear, invite it to become personified, by giving it eyes, a mouth, arms and legs. Let you imagination be free to produce the image. Accept what shows up, even if it seems weird or silly. Don’t let your rational mind censor what is being revealed. This makes it easier for you to communicate with it. Next, you are going to communicate with your shadow to learn about its perspective, how it experiences life.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Ask your shadow these two questions. 1.) What do you need? 2.) How will you feel if you get what you need? In order to discover the answers to these questions you are going to step into the body/form of your shadow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, ask the two questions out loud. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 4: Become the Shadow and discover what it needs. </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">You are now going switch places with the shadow and take on its form and perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you step into the shadow feel its shape, size, form and energy. Let the shadow answer the first question aloud, in the first person. <b>What I need is . . .</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><b> </b> </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">In this process you want to discover what the shadow <u>needs</u>, not what it <u>wants</u>. Often, the first answer is a want, instead of the deeper need. Giving it only what it wants, addresses the symptoms and not the need. Once it states the need, <b>make sure and clarify that this is what it needs, not just what it wants. </b>Until the underlying need is met, the shadow will continue to operate in the dark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Now, ask the second question. <b>How will you feel if you get what you need?</b> This is the deeper question that will reveal what this shadow-part needs in order to be transformed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is an example- If this shadow-part's issue is control, it might answer: “I will feel like I can trust life fully.” Then you will give this shadow-part trust. By giving it the trust its desires, rather then the control it wants, the shadow is transformed. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 5: Transform the Shadow and Meet the Ally</span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The time has come to transform the shadow. Return to your body. Take a moment to settle back into your own awareness. See the shadow-part in front of you. Notice the Pool of Transformation near by. Walk over to the pool, use your intention and <b>transformed water into the essence of what the shadow told you it would feel when its need was met</b>. The pool can be transformed into whatever quality or emotion is needed such as, truth, love, power or compassion. For example, if it said, “I will feel like I can trust life fully." See the pool as the essence of trust and the shadow-part absorbing it fully. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Invite the shadow-part to enter the Pool of Transformation. See the shadow drinking in what it needs through its mouth or through the pores of its skin, or taking it in some other way. Imagine that there is an infinite supply of this essence, and that the pool's essence is unlimited. While the shadow bathes in the pool, watch it carefully, as it most likely will begin to change. When the shadow-part has taken in everything it needs until it is completely satisfied, it frequently shape-shifts into a new form, it may become something completely new or disappear into mist. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The ally may appear as an animal, human, mythic god or bodhisattva. <b>Always ask, Are you my ally?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it replies, no, then invite another ally to appear. When you see it clearly, take a few minutes to communicate with your ally. Discover what gifts it has for you. How you connect with it in the future? Finally, ask it to become one with you and merge together. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Step 6: Return Home</span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">When the ally has been integrated, dissolve into spacious Awareness, which may feel like emptiness, freedom or being whole, even if this experience lasts only briefly, it is a returning home to the Self. Offer gratitude and leave the cave. Make your way back through the garden to the Gate. Step through it, back into this room, this moment. When you are ready open your eyes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">By reclaiming our shadow, we not only find more love and compassion for others, we tap into vast new resources within ourselves. These resources can enrich our lives and relationships. I hope you found this practice helpful. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Crystal Dawn Morris Contact: Cell 928-862-0762 or </span></b><a href="mailto:crystal@tantraforawakening.com"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">crystal@tantraforawakening.com</span></b></a><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"> </span></b><a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.com/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">www.TantraforAwakening.com</span></b></a><br /><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span class="style11"><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 128;">Crystal Dawn Morris © 2011-2014</span></span></span></b><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style><![endif]--><br /><div align="center" class="style1" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Crystal Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303222324497649948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320293925847577728.post-64471278037838531912015-01-15T14:24:00.003-07:002015-01-15T14:32:09.121-07:00The ISTA SSSEx Training is Coming to Tucson, AZ <a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ISTA-Banner-1.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3231" src="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ISTA-Banner-1-300x86.jpg" height="86" title="ISTA Banner 1" width="300" /></a><br /><h2>The ISTA Training Level 1</h2><h2>March 8-15, Near Tucson, AZ</h2><h2>(The Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience 1)<i><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></i></h2><h2><i><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you long for deeper intimacy and sexual connection?</span></span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Are you ready to break free of old conditioning?</span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Is there a lack of passion in your life?</span></i></span></h2>If you are ready to transform your life, this experiential 7-day event is for you. Hundreds of people on 5 continents have attended the ISTA training over the past 8 years and have been radically changed for the better by uncovering reactive patterns and transforming them into conscious ways of being.<br />This retreat focuses on clearing the physical and emotional body of shame, guilt and fear related to sexuality and authenticity. This is done through multiple pathways of healing: guided visualization, emotional release, shamanic initiations, energy tracking and conscious touch are just a few of the practices used to dive deep into the inner realms. The inner masculine and inner feminine archetypes are explored because when they are fully integrated a door opens to a deeper knowing of the Self as whole and complete.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MG_0070.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3301" src="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MG_0070-300x200.jpg" height="200" title="_MG_0070" width="300" /></a>This event unfolds within a powerful group process based on unconditional love, intimacy and acceptance of what is arising. By the end of this event, you will feel more open, relaxed and present and be more in touch with effortless flow of life, no matter what it looks like.<br />No prior knowledge of shamanism or sacred sexuality is necessary to attend this retreat. This event is about expanding beyond your comfort zone, while honoring your healthy boundaries. Nudity and intimate touch are a part of this training, however, you are always at choice and the facilitators will help you navigate what is authentic for you.

Sexual healing is the art of resolving the sexual shame, guilt and fear held in the bodymind. When sexual shame, guilt and fear are denied, repressed or ignored, they can led to physical symptoms such as chronic vaginal or bladder infections, decreased libido, painful intercourse, PMS, painful periods and difficulties in navigating the transition into menopause. They can also cause psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and love/sex addiction.<br /><br />Trauma held in the genitals can begin early in life due to insensitive potty training, especially if it involves physical or emotional abuse, or when children are shamed for their natural curiosity involving genital touch, masturbation or “playing doctor.” Trauma can occur due to feelings of fear or shame around puberty- wondering if you are developing normally or being made to fear menstruation as “the curse.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Beloved-Magdalene-big-filtered.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3309" src="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Beloved-Magdalene-big-filtered-216x300.jpg" title="Beloved Magdalene big-filtered" /></a>When this trauma is held in the body, it creates a contraction or holding in the tissues called “body armoring”, which prevents the natural flow of energy, awareness and sensations. When this holding is experienced in the sexual organs, it is called “genital armoring”. Some common causes of sexual trauma for women are medical procedures such as pelvic exams, abortion, childbirth and hysterectomy. More severe forms of genital armoring are caused by trauma from unwanted sexual advances, especially rape and/or incest, as well as from religious guilt related to sex outside of marriage, unhealthy sexual boundaries while being intoxicated and having unwanted sex out of a sense of obligation, to name a few. Even people without any overt sexual trauma can develop milder forms of genital armoring due to conditioning from our sex-negative culture - which simultaneously glorifies sex on the one hand while condemning it on the other.<br /><br /><br />As mentioned above, genital armoring can cause a variety is sexual problems in women, including decreased sensation in the clitoris and vagina, lack of vaginal lubrication, painful intercourse, hypersensitivity to touch and/or an inability to feel pleasure or orgasm during sex, as well as, psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and/or love and sex addiction. Often, these health issues are not recognized as being directly related to sexual wounding.<br /><br />Instead of the root cause- sex wounding, being address directly, the symptoms are given a medical diagnosis and treated with drugs. For many women, this leads to years of feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with them, because the treatment is focused on symptoms instead of on the armoring in the bodymind. Occasionally, a woman may seek out or be referred to a psychotherapist to address emotional issues related to sexual trauma. Unfortunately, most psychotherapists have not healed their own sexual wounds, so their ability to facilitate sexual healing maybe ineffective or, at best, limited. If a woman is fortunate enough to find a therapist who is adept at addressing her sexual issues, she is still faced with the limitations of psychotherapy, addressing the psycho-emotional aspects of sexual healing and ignoring the physical and energetic trauma still held in the body.<br /><br />Sexual Healing can take a variety of forms. On rare occasions, it can occur spontaneously. It has been known to happen during various types of breathwork sessions. It can occur during energy work, such as reiki- sometimes intended, sometimes as an unexpected side-effect. The most powerful forms of sexual healing holistically address the body/mind/spirit aspects of sexuality while utilizing hands-on sexual healing. There are a variety of modalities that use holistic hands-on sexual healing to address sexual trauma and genital armoring. These include the SkyDancing Tantra™ Pelvic Healing and Multi-Orgasmic Response processes, Sacred Spot Massage, Pelvic Heart Integration, to name a few of the more well-known modalities. These modalities require training and experience. They are best done by an experienced practitioner.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Picture1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-3312 alignright" src="http://www.tantraforawakening.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Picture1-183x300.jpg" height="259" title="Picture1" width="158" /></a>However, sexual healing for women, at its most basic, simply involves touching the “Yoni” (a Sanskrit term for the female genitals) either physically or energetically with presence and compassion. Because genital touch is almost always associated either with sex or a medical procedure, having your Yoni touched with awe and reverence, specifically for your benefit, can be a powerful and life-changing experience. The woman whose Yoni is being held in this way surrenders as fully as possible into the experience. She is invited to remain open, curious and present throughout the process. She is encouraged to communicate what she is feeling and is free to express and release what has been held in her Yoni. As the genital armoring is released, the area may be flooded with feelings of warmth, pleasure, irritation, emotion, orgasmic energy or a sense of vast spaciousness. Eventually, there is a natural sense of completion. The temple gate of the Yoni is “closed” by placing the palm of the hand over the entrance of the vagina with great presence and sensitivity.<br /><br />A few of the benefits of sexual healing for women are:<br />1) Feeling more ease and openness in the body.<br />2) Improved quality and quantity of her orgasms.<br />3) She invites pleasure through sensuality and sexuality.<br />4) Being more present and authentic with herself and others.<br />5) The ability to live in the flow which enhances overall health and well-being.<br />6) A renewed connection her true nature as unconditional love and freedom.<br />7) Letting go of mental, physical and emotional blocks related to shame, guilt and fear.<br /><br />© Crystal Dawn Morris 2014 <a

You are invited into a container of safety and support, where we will explore this divine dance through a series of playful, inspired practices. In our experiential playground, we will embark on a journey of discovery, closely examining the foundational aspects of the erotic arena. We will play with the possibility of letting-go into the infinite expanse of our Being, “creating space” for greater depths of intimacy, clarity and ecstasy. The result of this transformational process is not only greater sexual fulfillment in your life, but the ultimate fulfillment that is tasted when you are in conscious alignment with your Sacred Self!
