A Beginner's Guide to Sacred Sex
Keniece Ford shares this beginner's guide to sacred sex.

4 Tantric Yoga Exercises
These four Tantric yoga exercises are simple, but can have profound effects, especially for beginners.
Tantra is a school of thought that developed between the fourth and sixth century from a series of ancient texts known as the Tantras. It is a spiritual practice, similar to Buddhism. However, it differs from Buddhism in the belief that enlightenment can be obtained through the body, as opposed to just the mind.
