Sex, like anything in life, has to be learned — and what an exciting discovery to behold. After many years of studying and teaching in the field of Tantra, I feel there are two major ingredients to the art of 'good sex', known in Tantric terminology as 'Sacred Union' — and that is emotional sex and physical sex.
Emotional Sex & Sacred Intimacy
Emotional Safety
Feeling fully seen, heard and held by your beloved creates the sacred container in which true intimacy can bloom.
Trust & Communication
Honest, loving communication dissolves the barriers between two souls and opens the pathway to boundless connection.
Vulnerability
The willingness to be raw and open — from our light to our dark — is the very gateway to the deepest love.
Sacred Union
When emotional and physical love merge in full consciousness, the experience transcends the ordinary into the realm of the divine.
Shakti & Shiva — The Eternal Dance
The practice of Tantra teaches us to become the witness, the observer of the joy of life and the roles of the masculine and feminine at play.
Shakti — The Feminine
A woman embodied in her heart, her Shakti will know instinctively how to honor and appreciate her lover. For him, her femininity feeds him nourishment and love and becomes an insatiable thirst to let her go.
Shiva — The Masculine
A man embodied in his Shiva essence, the powerful wise and strong yet gentle and aware masculine will understand how to cherish his woman and saturate her with his love, he will know how to touch her, where to touch her, what to say, when to say it and when to walk away.
It is only through his Shiva presence that the woman will feel safe, safe to surrender to the power of the flame and passion; she will know in that moment that she represents every woman in the Universe to her beloved.
"When Sacred Space is celebrated in this joyous harmonious dance, we experience the union of duality, spirituality through the heart, physical ecstasy through the body and senses and the spirit comes alive fully conscious of the unconscious"
This is the meaning of emotional and physical sex called Tantric Sacred Union.
An Ocean of Eternal Bliss
As you experience higher stages of orgasm and love, all boundaries will dissolve, allowing you to merge with your higher self and split — as well as the entire Universe. These states are indescribable.
It is like an endless wave — there is no beginning, no end — a beautiful ocean of eternal bliss. This is the journey of Tantra.
Om Shanti
