Perhaps you are single. Romantic love may not truly exist for you, but tantra can, and so can self-love by following a yogic lifestyle. This unique personal and helpful way of explaining things offers ways in which we can know ourselves so well that, with practice, our lives will change. Evolution is happening Now. We can become people with wisdom and compassion, communicating well, asking for what we want and getting it, and understanding that life is what we are creating for ourselves moment to moment. This book tells you how.
Yoga itself is 6,000 years old, it was re-popularized several times and now millions of people are partaking in practices of all sorts, from kundalini to yin. Tantric Yoga awakens us to a deeper understanding of our bodies, and how the body is connected to the expression and experience of the emotions, and the magnitude that comes with chakra purification and alignment.
The Tao of Tantric Yoga's author Satyama Ratna Lasby is inspiring in her revelations with some of her erotic time spent in the ashram of Osho Rajneesh, the enlightened spiritual leader known for his radical approach to life and sex. He eloquently paved the way for unconventional and intelligent relating using neo-tantric meditations for wisdom and in-the-moment living. Osho spoke about tantra and its spiritual relationship to sex. She also tells of her time in Tamera in Portugal, a radically free-love community.
Growing pains in tantric practices are highlighted in communities like Koh Phangan, Thailand where tourists abound (looking for sex though maybe not ready to admit it), tantra teachers are born too quickly, and many "scandals" happen due to karma, desires unfulfilled, lack of communication, or differences in conditioning. There is more authentic curiosity than ever before from those wanting peak experiences in life and in their sexuality. The Tao of Tantric Yoga explains how body and mind are necessary for the awareness of healing, which includes sexual healing, where most carry wounds and fears which are covered by human behaviour and speech. Evolution is necessary.
Once healing has taken place, pleasure can occur, and once pleasure is experienced, there is no end to the heightened states possible through ritualizing sacred practices or simply by practicing and experimenting with consciousness and meditation (yoga).
There are many ways to do this; some are described, step by step so that you can try them in their life. Tantric rituals are given in detail, as are tantric sexual positions and the alignment of the chakras via yoga and sexual practices. The book is also an exploration what makes communities sustainable through their choice in spiritual practices, also in their choice of how to deal with conflicts that arise in relationships where love and sexuality are involved.
Behind all practices may be the doorway to how we live now, in a radically shifting paradigm that includes a look at how COVID is affecting us and how we can care about each other globally through yoga and knowing what tantra really is.
