power and sexual radiance without fear.

A Dzogchen Five-Element Chakra Meditation

Tibetan Letter "Ah"

In the Dzogchen tradition of Tibet working with the 5 elements is consider to be a powerful way to support health, well being and spiritual clarity. I have found this meditation to be a very powerful practice. 

Earth - Upward-moving prana

Yellow Light moves upward from the throat towards the crown, in a motion like an umbrella opening. Visualize Ah in the throat chakra as it radiates peace.  Visualize Ah in the crown chakra as it allows compassion and luminosity to pervade all of Reality.

Space - Life-force prana

White Light moves out from the center of the chest pervading space.  It is in the shape of a wish-fulfilling gem.  Visualize Ah in the heart chakra as it evokes love and freedom. 

Fire - Fire-like prana

Red Light in the navel area radiates out like the spokes of a wheel. Feel the heat spreading outward. Visualize Ah in the navel chakra as it radiates pure presence and wisdom.

Air - Pervasive prana

Green Light radiates from 4 finger-breadths below the navel (where the side and central channels meet.) Visualize Ah in sacral chakra as it radiates flexibility, clarity and intelligence.

Water - Downward-moving prana

Blue Light flows downward like a waterfall. Visualize Ah in the secret chakra it radiates the quality of generosity and dissolves all attachments and aversions.  

 Inspired by the teachings of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche in his book, 

 Healing with Form, Energy and Light.

Exerience a Full-Body Orgasm Tonight

Art by A.Andrew Gonzalez

 

 

 

Tantra uses the body's sexual energy to expand awareness and experience ecstasy. 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 person's awareness of the mystical realms, allowing them to recognize they are Divine Consciousness in human form. 

A full-body orgasm is the experience of feeling your whole body vibrating with orgasmic energy. This can be done outside of a sexual context as well as while making love. Anyone can learn how to have a full-body orgasm by following the steps below.

7 Steps for Opening the Inner Flute:

1) Stand with your knees hips-width apart and slightly bent.

2) Breathe through your mouth and deep into the belly, allowing it to expand. Begin activating your sexual energy.

3) Once you have mastered the belly breath, you can increase the intensity by inhaling as if you are sipping through a straw. Exhale with an open mouth and release a deep sound from the belly. Sound also intensifies the expansion of energy. 

4) Now, allow your pelvis to begin rocking. Keep the knees bent and let your pelvis rotate freely. As you inhale, rock the hips back, arching the small of the back slightly. As you exhale, tuck the tail bone under, flattening the small of the back. 

Breath, sound and movement are the 3 Keys of Sky Dancing Tantra. 

5) Next, add the PC pump. As you inhale, squeeze the pelvic floor muscles, pulling them upward. 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 "Kegal Exercises." 

6) Put all the steps together. As you inhale, imagine you are breathing the energy up from your pelvic floor to the heart chakra at the center of your chest. Practice this until you feel the energy pulsing from your root to your heart. You can play with speeding up and slowing down your respiratory rate.

7) Once you have mastered connecting root and heart, move the energy up to the crown of the head. Practice until you can feel the energy flowing from your root to your crown. See yourself as a rainbow bridge of light connecting Earth and Sky. 

This is a wonderful way to get your energy flowing. Once the Inner Flute is open, you are ready to learn how to expand the energy and experience the Full-Body Orgasm. There are 3 steps to this process: 

1. "The Streaming Reflex" helps you recognize that your body is made of ecstatic energy which you can stimulate and expand whenever you want. You learn to experience orgasmic energy outside of a sexual context and discover that you can awaken your own pleasure-body without genital contact.

Begin by standing with your feet hips-width apart and knees bent. Allow your thighs to begin to tremble. Allow the vibration to 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. 

2. "The Ecstatic 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 ecstatic response, you move beyond the genital orgasm and discover the full-body orgasm. 

After several minutes of allowing your whole body to stream, lay on the floor with your knees bent and your feet close together. Let your knees gently fall apart like a butterfly's 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. 

3. Once you mastered Opening the Inner Flute and the Full-Body Orgasm outside a sexual context, you can introduce these practices into your lovemaking. Sex becomes an alchemical experience that transforms the physical body into the Bliss Body.

I have been teaching this process to others for the past seven years with great results. The Full-Body Orgasm is something anyone can experience if they are open and willing to practice these simple steps.  Some of the benefits of these practices are improved health, increased sexual vitality, mental clarity, expanded creativity and inner peace. I hope you find this information helpful.

Sedona Retreat for Women, Reclaim Your Sexual Radiance

3 women share the benefits of  the Women Healing Women Retreat:
Listen to Kelley’s You Tube video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1JKtQOGPzg&list=FLinVa2slDvYbeWXtj7YAvUg

“The WHW Weekend allowed me to reconnect with my deeper feminine self and see myself with fresh eyes, free of the biases and standards that society imposes on women these days. It allowed me to gain new appreciation for physical and spiritual beauty that we as women are so lucky to radiate. Cheryl and Crystal were wonderful. I felt very comfortable going on this journey with them. Most of all, the workshop was about taking the weekend to appreciate and know yourself better, get to know other beautiful women, expand your mind and spirit and to have fun.”

Another woman said, “The Woman Healing Women workshop was very eye opening. It was great to work on healing a area that for many years I ignored and suppressed. I was able to make important growth in such a supportive environment. I realized I was not in my feminine energy enough and how to feel comfortable in that energy and embrace it. What a gift!”

Nondual Meditation in Sedona Inspired by Adyashanti's True Meditation

I am very excited to be bringing nondual meditation to Sedona. I have been inspired and awakened by the wisdom of many nondual teachers such as; Adyashanti, Gangaji, Mooji, Papaji, and Rupert Spira. The Nondual Awareness Meditation group meets Tuesday's from 7-9 pm in Sedona. To learn more go to:  http://www.meetup.com/Sedona-Tantra-for-Awakening-Meetup-Group/ 

 Below is a post about True Meditation from Adyashanti's website.

True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer. All methods aiming at achieving a certain state of mind are limited, impermanent, and conditioned. Fascination with states leads only to bondage and dependency. True meditation is abidance as primordial awareness.

True meditation appears in consciousness spontaneously when awareness is not being manipulated or controlled. When you first start to meditate, you notice that attention is often being held captive by focus on some object: on thoughts, bodily sensations, emotions, memories, sounds, etc. This is because the mind is conditioned to focus and contract upon objects. Then the mind compulsively interprets and tries to control what it is aware of (the object) in a mechanical and distorted way. It begins to draw conclusions and make assumptions according to past conditioning.

In true meditation all objects (thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, etc.) are left to their natural functioning. This means that no effort should be made to focus on, manipulate, control, or suppress any object of awareness. In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all objects arise and subside.

As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the mind’s compulsive contraction around objects will fade. Silence of being will come more clearly into consciousness as a welcoming to rest and abide. An attitude of open receptivity, free of any goal or anticipation, will facilitate the presence of silence and stillness to be revealed as your natural condition.

As you rest into stillness more profoundly, awareness becomes free of the mind’s compulsive control, contractions, and identifications. Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

Nondual Awareness Meditation in Sedona

Are you ready to let go of the "little me" who struggles?
Are you curious to know the Truth of who and what you are?
Are you ready to live in the flow rather than out of the limited view of the mind?

Non-duality points the way to the ultimate Truth of Reality. It is the direct path to Self-Realization. Awakening to the Truth brings an end to the one who grasps for what it wants and pushes away what it doesn’t want. Sometimes called the ego, this is the one who is never fully satisfied, who always wants more. The ego is not a thing; it is a movement of mind that believes it is separate and on its own. Identification with ego is the cause of all unhappiness. Wakening up from this illusion is the beginning of true happiness.
If you are ready to: awaken fully, live in the now, and know the true nature of "I Am,” then please join me as we explore nondual awareness and self-inquiry. This is not about sitting on a cushion and perfecting a technique. Instead, the attention is on Awareness rather than the objects in awareness. The focus is on allowing everything to be as it is. Each class will unfold spontaneously, offering different nondual approaches that I have found powerful in realizing the Truth.

 Join this Meetup to receive updates and reminders.
 Recommended donation $10-20.   Please bring a water bottle. Wear comfortable clothes.
