5 Tantric Secrets for Getting What You Want

If there is something you want to attract, whether a relationship, a career, or something else, here are five Tantric secrets for getting what you want.

Lost Tantric Sex Rituals

Rituals of many kinds have been an important part of the Tantric tradition since the very beginning. Tantrics practiced rituals of many types, including many that were totally innocent and not related to sex in any way. Most of these ancient rituals are as old as Tantra itself. These other rituals may have involved yoga, meditation, chanting, and many other activities that were not controversial to the uninitiated. 

3 Big Tantric Secrets

Tao Semko says his traditional e-mail sign-off, "Keep your tongue up," refers to three big Tantric secrets.

My traditional email sign-off refers to three yogic meditation secrets, which among those taught at the very beginning of all our courses:

1) The inner, or secret smile.

2) The complete, healthy, or baby's breath

3) Nabho Mudra and Kechari Mudra, performed with the tongue. Read more

The Secret to Freeing Yourself From Limiting Habits - In Bed

Tantra teacher Tao Semko explains step-by-step how to experience more pleasure and free yourself from limiting habits - in bed.

This weekend I was at a bridal shower where I'd been asked to speak about the sexual side of tantra. Of course, the ladies were a lot of fun, and as always, they had some really good questions. I'll share an answer to one here today.

As I've explained in past issues of Tantra Tips, and as I explained at the bridal shower, if your breath and energy ("chi" or "prana") cannot freely circulate in your body as you make love, the pleasure you can feel is limited. You're cheating yourself of better sex! Your breath, energy, and mind are all linked, so your capacity for spiritual bliss is also limited (your ability to experience samadhi through complete absorption in the love and/or sensuality of lovemaking, or in anything else for that matter).

So here's the question: How can you learn begin to relax, deepen the breath, and maintain relaxed awareness while making love if your body is in the habit of tensing up and panting?

And here's the answer: You don't. Not at first. Just trying to remember to do all those things while "getting it on" will only make you more stressed and tense, and make you stay in your head and worry self-consciously instead of enjoying yourself, right? No fun. And if you start to get carried away by the moment, your breathing will get away from you again.

So then, the *easy* way to change your limiting sexual habits is to start changing your habits and your awareness when you're *not* making love, just a little bit each day, and making the whole process relaxing and fun....

Phallus Evolution: Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That?

If you’ve ever had a good, long look at the human penis (and I think most of us have), you’ve probably wondered about why it's structured the way it is. Tantra teacher Suzie Heumann has some ideas.

It's Darwin's 200th birthday this year and we'll be hearing a lot about him, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to seeing the new movie Creation, which is about his life and will include a look at his fear of reporting all he understood about evolution. Given the Victorian culture he lived in, no wonder he hesitated for some 50 years before he put On The Origin of Species out to the public.

My own evolution wanderings have caused me to wonder for a long time about why the human penis is structured the way it is. Why would evolution make the penis have a head on it, with an obvious bulbous, almost ad-on bigger part? Why does it have that extra skin, the foreskin, added to the mix? And, for that matter, why is that skin cut off (I know about the religious part, I just mean how did it really start)? I won't be covering that one.

I have some ideas about all of this and I'm hoping you'll chime in too. Read more
