The Tantric path is to reunite with our Divine spark. It encourages us to identify with our Higher Self, our Divine essence. When you identify with your Higher Self, you live in a heightened vibrational field and you are open to the intuition coming to you from your Divine self, guiding you to the fulfillment of your life and your mission.

Your job is to listen and to do inspired action. If we do not spend time being silent so that real knowledge comes through, we are more like monkeys, jumping from branch to branch in the tree of our mind, but actually going nowhere. We repeat thoughts and get stuck in feelings that are thickening and lowering our vibrations, taking us out of the state where everything is possible.

Tantra says that habits suffocate the life force that is supposed to flow unhindered through your system. Habits cut us off from that stream energy that fulfills us and opens us up with compassion and love, our true essence.

Tantra encourages you to train your mind to be present in the now where all the pleasure of being alive resides. When you are present in the now, you are spontaneous, inspired and unlimited.

The Ego has other intentions. It wants to push you to do and have more. According to the Ego, there is no time to spend in the now, because you are wasting time that you should be using to concentrate on future survival.

But leaving the decision making process to the ego-limited left side of our brain can keep you restricted in a boring life, filled with habitual actions interrupted by small or bigger crisis and some surface pleasure.

Instead, Tantra invites you to train your higher mind to stay focused, and not surrender to the thinking of the Ego. When you are in the present and connected to the heart, you are accessing the great wisdom of your Higher Self. You make the best decisions, balanced, and in tune with the fulfillment of your life.

Tantra teaches us that we are called to be co-creators with the Divinity. This requires a completely renewed view of sexuality. This is what Tantra understands about sexuality: The infinite knowing, the Divine, decided to create men and women in physical form and invited us to expand into the Divine greatness while having a physical experience in these created bodies. Both our physical experience and our energy are divided into the two halves of masculine and feminine.

Two halves – meaning we need to draw both together to experience the Divine whole. The male energy part of humanity is an integral part of our divinity, but it has completely dominated our recent history, excluding the softer female energy, and that has brought things out of balance.

Tantra brings the restoration of the sacred feminine to merge and soften the masculine, bringing it back to a sacred balance, to unity. By merging the sacred feminine with the sacred masculine we can achieve pleasure, clarity of purpose, wholeness, passion, wisdom, and compassion.

Yes, Paradise on earth. We do not have to wait until our bodies die to experience freedom, light and joy. Once we merge with God, whether you see God in your beloved or as a benign infinite power, we can both merge and co-create with our Divine power.

Co-creation means that you are tuning in to the Divine urge to express your highest potential for healing, for love, for joy and abundance. We are here in a school that teaches us to evolve by going deep within and finding our true purpose. When we find it, we can contribute the joy we feel to everyone around us and into the whole universe.

Daily practice is required to remember who we really are and how much God loves us. We are so loved that we get to choose what is in the kingdom of our own minds. Choose love, learn to listen, and you will be amazed how satisfying your life becomes!

Good communication is the foundation of every great relationship. Listening and being listened to are signs of care and respect for your partner. When you feel cared for, you have more energy flowing through you, and sex is better. Real, powerful Intimacy comes from such caring and respect for your partner. Here are some good tips: 1. Make sure you have your partner’s attention without demanding that they stop what they are doing to listen to you, unless it’s an emergency. If one of you is busy when you want to talk, set up a time when you both can pay attention to each other.

Keeping the passion high in any relationship depends a lot on how safe you make it for your partner to say the truth to you. We like to say we want to hear the truth, “even if it hurts us,” but actually we often act in ways that make it difficult or even impossible to do that. If you tend to cut off or interrupt your partner when they are talking, they may feel you don’t care what they have to say. If you are always very neutral in your expression and your response, they may feel you feel their ideas are unimportant, or boring.

Tantra wants you to have pleasure and guides you to have the Divine pleasure of merging the male and female energies into One. It uses this pleasure to bring more joy and light into your life. If you are living a disconnected life, you will experience the opposite – being separated from your Divine connection saps your vitality and joy. I’m sure you have experienced that when you are afraid, ashamed, or doing something out of habit, you feel low energy and are unenthusiastic.
