A Tantric Mistake and Its Consequences

Even Tantra teachers make mistakes. Ananth Tantri once gave in to a woman's insistence that he awaken her kundalini. He knew it was dangerous, but she was extremely persuasive. They both suffered the conseqences of his lapse in judgment.

To err is human, to admit is divine...

This is hard to talk about, but here it is. A few years ago, a very lovely Californian blonde in her early 40s requested me to coach her on the esoteric mysteries of kundalini, its arousal, and awakening. She wanted me to help her unleash the energy through the classical tantric ways using a variety of sensual and sexual methods. She was married, and so I felt it would be highly inappropriate for me to use the sexual approach to kundalini movement. So, I declined.

She was very persuasive, very intent, and gosh darn it, very attractive. So I finally agreed to awaken all the energy latent in her, but through the most secret of all of tantric methods, one that is usually never talked about, written about, and whose use is not looked at kindly by the Goddess - yes, Sarpa Tantra - the path of the serpent. This is the non-sexual (no intercourse) tantric approach that arises awakens and moves the kundalini wherever you want in less than 5 minutes - the time it takes to get a non-fat, single shot, decaf latte at Starbucks. The method is conceptually extremely simple - the awakener (me), embodies, models, and personifies the kundalini energy of the awakened one (her), and systematically moves through each chakra physically. As I act the part of the serpent, breathing, hissing, coiling, and striking each chakra forcefully, her energy also gets the cue and moves, and soon her body starts to shake under the assault of my modeling the serpentine kundalini, and her own kundalini rising to mimic me. It is extremely fast, extremely powerful, and extremely dangerous to directly awaken the energy. Read more

What Is the Perfect Lingam Size for Your Yoni?

The question, "Does size matter?" is endlessly debated and is a source of anxiety for many men, but the truth is that the only size that matters is his size and your size. Tantra teacher Janet Kira Lessin discusses the issues of penis size and shape, including how to compensate for "mismatched" Lingams and Yonis.

What about size? Obviously, a man with a nine inch lingam will cause great problems for a woman with a shallow yoni. But that same God would be ideal for a Goddess with a nine inch yoni. If the man has a lingam shorter than his beloved's yoni, he will not be able to penetrate all the way into her, reach her sacred sector and totally satisfy her during intercourse. That same man will completely satisfy a woman with a shallow yoni. So when we look at the issue closely, it’s not the size that matters. What is important is the compatibility of the lingam and the yoni.

Problems arise (har har) when women with shorter yoni’s make love with men with longer lingams. Men, in the heat of passion, especially when they orgasm, tend to get excited and penetrate as far as they can (ouch). If lovers are not careful, the lingam head can penetrate all the way through the tight ring of the cervical opening and enter the uterus creating disaster for the woman. While it may feel awesome for the man, it can cause infection and disease for his lady. So what to do? Read more

Breathing for Meditation

Kundalini is a psycho-spiritual energy which is thought to reside within the body and is aroused through spiritual practices to bring new states of consciousness, including mystical illumination. Kundalini is Sanskrit for "snake" or "serpent power," so called because it is believed to lie like a serpent in the root chakra at the base of the spine. One of the goals of Tantric practice is to awaken kundalini. Robert Morgen, author of Kundalini Awakening for Personal Mastery explains how to breath for kundalini awakening.

Breathing is the MOST important part of meditation and Kundalini Awakening. It's the foundation of all the exercises and skills that come after, so taking the time to learn it now will make things much easier.

From our birth until death we breathe more or less continually, yet for the most part we do it without any awareness of our breath and its effects on us, and believe it or not most people in the western world do it wrong! Read more

4 Obstacles to Exploring Tantric Sex

Tantric sex is a popular topic right now, and a lot of information is available, including on this blog, Even so, many people experience four common obstacles when exploring Tantric sexuality, according to Tantra teacher Kenneth Ray Stubbs.

In his book The Essential Tantra, author and teacher Kenneth Ray Stubbs writes about four common obstacles people experience to exploring Tantra sexuality.

The first is the idea that in sex we are either a spectator or a performer. If our attention is focused on watching what is going on, what our partner is doing, or how our body is looking or responding, we are taken out of an awareness of the moment. Tantra is about moving away from the “acting” and towards “being.” Read more
