Learn To Love Yourself

Posted by: | Comments (0)

love yourself“Love begins at home, with loving yourself.” -Margo Anand

Loving yourself, doesn’t mean indulging yourself in frequent solitary sexual activity or other indulgences. It means to learn to trust yourself and listen to your inner self. To trust your inner guidance that is your heart. After all, if you don’t trust the messages from your heart, then how can you trust the heart of another?

Love from another won’t make you feel whole if you feel empty inside. You will just find reasons why the person who offers you their heart, is lying or trying to deceive you. If you haven’t learned to receive love from your higher source and instead depend on others, you end up feeling possessive and jealous.

One way to open your heart to higher love that I discovered was through the magic of tantric sex. I’m a white tiger tantra practitioner and through years of practice, I have learned to cultivate and direct the subtle energy that is within me to heal my mind body and spirit. Had I not learned white tiger tantra, I would have maybe been intellectually aware of these forces within and without, but never would have I been able to feel them, nor learn to love fully.

I often say that young children naturally love themselves. They are uninhibited, guilt-free and fully accepting of who they are. It is only as they grow older that they start to develop a “personality” based on the approval or disapproval of those around them. Most people continue through life, layering on the thick, protective shield that is their ego, until they develop dis-ease of the body and mind, inevitably resulting in their death. Having  forgotten how to experience bliss, the quality of their lives is greatly compromised.

As Jesus said,  “Allow little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” This powerful verse has a deep meaning for me as it symbolizes our spiritual growth as adults, in which we shed our “personalities” and ego, becoming free and spontaneous like children. That is our spiritual path and the path to our highest love.

But how do you find this spontaneity? How do you become free and learn to love? There are several ways and many techniques that I share on this about meditation, cultivating sexual energy and white tiger tantra, all of which can help you develop a greater love for yourself and others.

You may wonder, how can meditation teach me to love myself? It does so by providing clarity of mind, which can help you process your thoughts and perceptions that prevent you from experiencing your sensual self fully. As your mind begins to settle, you begin to attune to your feelings and expand your ability to experience pleasure and love.

As the mind settles, through meditation or trance, you can begin to implement tantric techniques that can further help you learn to love yourself. If you have forgotten how to  love yourself or have consciously shut down your heart because of heartache, then you are denying yourself the divine right to experience a higher quality of life.  Tantra can help release those resistances from your heart and open you up to loving yourself and others, more deeply and more courageously than ever before.

Cultivating and trans-mutating sexual energy are some of the most powerful skills a tantric practitioner will learn, along with…

Tantric Sex Technique #2: The Power Of Tantric Breathing

and creating deep connections with your partner through…

Tantric Sex Technique #1: Eye Gazing

If you’ve gone through tantric technique 1 and 2, you are now ready for the third technique which will teach you not only about the power of your sexual energy, but how to use it in a way that can literally heal your body, mind and spirit.

In our culture we tend to separate matters of sex and spirituality. Tantra teaches us that sex energy and spiritual energy are one in the same, by helping us bridge that gap between what we deem “physical” and “carnal”, as opposed to “holy” and “pure”.

To cultivate sexual energy is in essence a spiritual act which can in effect bring us closer to God or Creator, regardless of what our beliefs are. After all, God has created our magnificent bodies and has given us the power to generate sexual and sensual energy, not so that we can repress or overindulge in it, but so that we can understand how it too can be sacred in our lives.

 

Tantric Sex Technique #3: Cultivating Sexual Energy

 

1. First find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed. You can practice alone or with a partner, sitting or lying down.

2. Sex starts in the mind, so close your eyes and allow your sexual imagination run away with you. Allow yourself to drift down into any thoughts, sounds or images that start to stimulate your senses. Notice where in your body you can feel any changes as sensual energy begins to grow inside you.

3. Start to slowly stimulate yourself or have a partner do it. Gently sweep your arms, your breasts and your belly with the tips of your fingers, dancing across your skin, tantalizing you before moving onto the genitals. Remember, this isn’t a race to the finish line. Your goal is not to achieve orgasm, but to utilize this magical energy to heal, inspire and excite you.

4. As you find yourself growing more and more excited, continue until you reach the peak of your orgasm, but before you do…Stop. I know, it may be hard at first if you’re first learning about orgasm control whether you are male or female, but as your body gets used to it, you will discover the hidden benefits behind it.

5. At this point, simply place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and inhale deeply into your stomach, focusing on a spot 2 inches below the navel. As you exhale, focus on the crown, at the top of your head. Repeat this breath combination for a total of 4 breaths.

6. On the final exhale, slowly open your eyes and allow that energy to spread into your heart…filling your entire body to overflowing with sensual energy.

7. Repeat the process 3 times (or more if you can), keeping in mind that the energy will multiply itself the more you practice. You can also spread it out throughout the day or several days, or prior to lovemaking and orgasm.

And now…Take a tour of your body. Notice sensations and any new vibrations where there weren’t any before. Some people experience a buzzing or tingling feeling in their bodies. This is your sexual energy, prana or qi moving through you. As you continue practicing this exercise daily or even weekly, you might notice changes, such as a more youthful appearance and a lasting “after sex glow”. There may also be changes in your mood as frustration from repressed sexual energy begins to melt away, leaving you feeling happier, calmer and more open to love.

Dear Readers and White Tiger Tantra Enthusiasts,

Here’s something I wrote a couple of months ago after my White Tiger Tantra session with Steve P. I hadn’t gotten around to posting it till now. So for those of you who are interested in what my experience was like with the White Tiger Tantra master himself, please read on…

Words cannot describe the sense of euphoria cascading through my body and mind, still at this time. It is the most natural high in the world, which every woman should be able to experience to understand the magnificence of her body and its ability to generate incredible pleasure in her life.
I had a couple of reasons I felt I needed to go through the White Tiger Tantra session, with Steve P. For about a year i had been experiencing some unusual discomfort during intercourse. Certain sexual positions would cause some intense discomfort in my pelvis and legs and I couldn’t figure out if there was something physically wrong with me. My doctor just said I had a mild case of “Vaginismus”, which he said could produce discomfort, burning or pain during penetration.

Being that I’m not really into labeling myself, I figured there was some deep seated emotional stuff i needed to release. Steve P began working on releasing what was causing the spasms and painful trigger points on the muscles inside my vagina. It’s what he calls the Sacred Release Point, which opens up the “5-Gates of Nirvana.” Here’s the thing. It was by far, not one of the most comfortable massages I’ve had, but once I relaxed into it I began to feel a powerful electricity rising up my spine. I don’t know if it was Kundalini energy rising, what I do know is that once I opened up and surrendered to it, my pain transformed into an intense pleasure.

It was a truly cathartic experience for me and it took many teargasms (tears + orgasms) to get to this level.  I know that might freak some women out a bit, but it has been worth going through them to get to the level where I can freely release full body orgasms. Reaching this level of sensuality and intimacy makes it easy to surrender, in a sense, like being a girl again, with all the excitement, wonder and anticipation of what might come next…

Tantra Yoga: Tongue Meditation

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Your attempts at meditation are likely to be interrupted by the thoughts running through your mind. This tantra yoga tongue meditation will help quieten down the mind or the internal dialogue.

Quieting the mind teaches us how to enter the zen state of “now”, where we are neither plagued by thoughts of the future or thoughts of the past.

I Hope you enjoy this meditation by Dattatreya Siva Baba.

There Is No Tantra Without Mantra

Posted by: | Comments (5)

There is a saying “There is no Tantra without mantra”. Sound has a powerful impact on us, more than we may know and is an important component to tantric practices. While we know that words have the power to influence us in many ways, mantras exert a special influence on our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.

Here’s how mantras work…

Each of the major chakras in the human body matches a certain number of letters in the Sanskrit alphabet, which makes up the language of Hinduism and the Vedas. The letters from this ancient alphabet are associated to some deity or energy in sound form. Tantra in its traditional form includes the worship of many deities (gods and goddesses) and many magical practices seen in pagan rituals. These deities or energies, when tuned into, vibrate deep within us, stimulating specific energy centers in our bodies, which have various functions. When combined into words or phrases they are what are known as mantras.

You might have heard a few yourselves, while dodging donation requests and flowers, from outlandish looking individuals covered in loincloths or colorful robes, dancing and gleefully chanting “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna”.

Yet, there are infinite numbers of mantras out there. The most powerful of these energies is the primordial sound ‘Om’. You hear Buddhist monks and Hindus worldwide chanting this sound. It’s believed to be the God-force energy and allows us to reach the highest state of spiritual enlightenment. Personally, I feel that to really appreciate the impact of the sound Om requires a certain refinement of energy, which only really comes with dedication and practice.

The secret to getting the most out of mantras is the correct pronunciation. I chant silently, because I find that energy escapes when do it out loud. Chanting inside my mind during the day allows me to concentrate more on the sensations that these sounds produce on the chakras of my body. While a lot of mantras can be kind of difficult to pronounce, I recommend listening to a few while laying still and observing one’s thoughts. As you continue to listen to them and begin repeating the words inside your mind, their power begins to grow in intensity. It starts to change you.

I invite you to try out some basic mantras that stimulate the 7 major chakras. Repeat each sound many times inside your mind, while focusing on its matching chakra. You can visualize the color associated with it as well, if that helps.


Krim (‘kreem’) Root chakra
Klim (‘kleem’) Sacral Chakra
Hum (‘hoom’) Solar plexus
Hrim (‘hreem’) Heart chakra
Aim (‘eyem’) Throat chakra
Shrim (‘shreem’)Third eye
Om (‘aum’) Crown chakra

There are certain mantras that I swear by. The gayatri mantra is considered “the mother of all mantras” in Hinduism. I find this mantra to dominate all others in that it has immense power in opening us up to our infinite intelligence and awaken self-realization. Not only does it heal us on a physical, mental and spiritual level, it purifies the subtle karmas and acts as a divine protective shield. So if you’re looking for a spiritual awakening and gaining wisdom, this is really THE mantra to learn. It may be kind of complex for beginners, but well worth learning.

You can check to this video of the gayatri mantra and learn the words as you go along. It didn’t take me long as I’ve always been very auditory and proficient with languages.

But, lets not overload you with Sanskrit just yet, because before you get to the Gayatri mantra, there are a couple of simple mantras, if you’re just starting out. If you’re not sure how to pronounce them, you may be able to find them on youtube.

That’s it for now. I know this post was a little different from my usual posts, but hey I’m a writer who has many different personalities…Actually, believe it or not, the style in which i write greatly depends on the mantra I’ve been reciting that day.

The Benefits Of White Tiger Tantra

Posted by: | Comments (0)

As a practitioner of White Tiger Tantra, I’ve often been asked by women and couples, what are the benefits of incorporating tantra or tantric massage into their love lives.

Well, for a variety of reasons, but because there are so many different forms of tantra out there, I’ll focus on White Tiger Tantra specifically.

The Benefits Of White Tiger Tantra

 

1. Improves Female Sexual Health
This means that a lot of problems that woman are afflicted with due to impoverished sex lives, such as female sexual disorders, menstrual cramps, incontinence, depression and anxiety, can rapidly be resolved through regular tantric massage.

2. Releases Stress & Tension

Removing stress and tension in a woman’s body, allows for sexual energy to flow more freely. By building up sexual energy for prolonged periods of time our brain chemistry begins to change as well. We start to produce more endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin. These are the chemicals that are known as “The cocktail of love”, which can literally wash away symptoms of depression, PMS and anxiety.

3. Leads To Full Body Orgasms
As the majority of women have localized genital orgasms, sexual energy remains trapped in the lower chakras, which can feel very unsatisfying on many levels. White Tiger Tantra massage techniques are powerful in helping pierce through the chakras, drawing energy up to the heart and through the higher energy centers, leading to full body orgasms and female ejaculation.

4. Rejuvenates The Body
Tantra can have an awesomely rejuvenating effect on the body, mind and spirit. As depression is wiped away, it can take years off the of the face and bring back mental clarity.My experience with White Tiger Tantra, has proven that it is THE fountain of youth. The emotions that we carry around for years become etched in our faces as we grow older…gravity isn’t the only player. For example, people who are cruel and often speak ill of others have lips that go thin over time. Frown lines inevitably develop on the faces of those who have held onto a lot of anger over the years. Releasing the trapped emotions in the body through tantric massage then becomes much like peeling the skins of an onion…revealing one’s shiny and bright core.

5. Improves Intimacy
Great sex is important to sustaining intimate connections and we naturally want to be around people who can help amplify positive states in us. When practicing with a partner, White Tiger Tantra can awaken and amplify a woman’s sensuality and sexuality very powerfully…opening her up to becoming more receptive to giving and receiving love.

For those of you who are thinking about integrating tantra into your love lives, I hope this brief article about the benefits of White Tiger Tantra was somewhat helpful and informative.

Much Love,

Women Awakened

Tantra Temple Of Oneness

Posted by: | Comments (2)

This beautiful and moving prose written by Steve P, founder of White Tiger Tantra, was well worth the effort of transcribing, so that I could share it with you. I hope it will resonate with your heart and soul, as it did with mine.

As the beings of light traverse the element of space and time, they arrive at the tantric temple of oneness, that thin line between the yin and yang energy, where they can float beyond the boundaries of their earth bodies into a union of light and love, a vortex of the highest order…if you will.

Enter the temple with a pureness of heart that is empty of expectations, hidden agendas or judgments. A union of less is greatly paled with the mundane and superficial energy (of the second chakra) that engulfs the deceitful, the unfaithful and the untrue with an insatiable thirst, that leaves them empty, lost and lusting…for they are the unsatisfied…they are the lonesome in a crowd…they are afraid to be alone or quiet with the reflections of themselves.

Enter the temple with light and love in the knowing that what you bring into this vortex will be amplified…in this union of unconditional love. The beings of light have created a sense of oneness with each other…a child so to speak…that is stimulated and grows stronger everyday…when they see each other…or when they hear their soul mates voice, they feel a connection at the heart and solar plexus…That begins to to glow and fill their body with a wonderful feeling, from head to toe…starting anywhere, going out into the future, way out into the future, looking back onto now as having been the…start to feel the energy double, triple, quadruple as it flows through your body, mind and spirit.

As they journey to drunk the nectar of life, from the well spring of love that is there to revitalize and stimulate them to permeate them to the core with a sense of direction, purpose and growth of this oneness.

Ahh…but to laugh the guiltless laugh, shamelessly without apprehension, as the laughter like that of a child drown their sighs and superficial concerns that flow to the wayside on the swelling of passion, ecstasy and love that open the floodgates that flow like a river (you can’t hold the river….of love….let it flow) into the ocean waves goodbye to the old way of knowing and being with each other in new ways, now & into the future…growing & glowing with this bond of each other for they are now drunk on & with each other in this tantric union of oneness & knowing each other as one’s self.
- Steve Piccus

When you learn to surrender to the moment, you dissolve the ego and enter into what is called the “japa” or the zen state of “now”. A place where all thoughts of the future of the past are absent, allowing us to cross the bridge that leads to opening the gateways of sensual ecstasy.

And in order to open up to a more sensual way of being, my mentor has taught me that the key lies in releasing the right kinds of chemicals in our body, that which he calls “the cocktail of love”. Then you enter into a zen state where you can become intoxicated on your natural mind-body chemistry.

When people make love from a place of “I have to”, they come from their sympathetic nervous system, which fills them with adrenaline and fear-based emotions that inhibit the serotonin-reuptake receptors and the chemicals that induce feelings of love and bonding. Sexual energy stays trapped in the first and second chakra, draining and engulfing them with an insatiable thirst, leaving them empty, lost and lusting.

When you make love from a place of “I get to”, or “I’m looking forward to this” the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and floods the body with oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and other calm chemicals that make up “the cocktail of love”. The higher chakras begin to open up, allowing for a more sensual energy to enter into the heart, that is empty of expectations, hidden agendas or judgments.

My mentor talks about how we’ve lost the apprenticeship of love in our culture and now we’re a culture that seeks self-gratification through frequent ejaculation. When we are busy satisfying only our lower animal natures, we miss out on a spiritual side to our sensuality that only comes to those who are willing to surrender their controlling ego.

He claims that if we must venture into control, atleast understand the higher level of control, which is self-control. And once one surrenders to the self-control, they realize not only the illusion to control was, but also the underlying motivation for that illusion. When one releases this illusion its what my teacher calls entering into and through a moment of epiphany. A sense of clarity.

As I write this with sensual energy careening through my entire body, after a White Tiger Tantra massage, my words can only convey so much of my experience. An experience that fills me with joy and ecstasy that causes me to smile…a full body smile, which only comes when one has surrendered to oneself.

Till next time.

The way I would describe a tantric relationship is one in which the concept of separation is totally dissolved. The “I” and the “me” is no longer when there is a total alignment of energies between partners.

Living in a society where individualism is highly regarded as opposed to a collectivist outlook makes it so that most people don’t wish for the absolution of their individual selves, when they enter into a union of love with another.

But in any relationship, whether tantric or not contains an interplay of energies that can either work in your favor to draw your partner to you or away from you. Like the two complementary opposing poles of a magnet. One way they can bond together and the strength of the bond is more powerful then the one magnet holds by itself, being solo. The other way with the opposing poles, no matter how much you try to jam them together, they will never connect.

This my friends is the difference between a relationship of power versus force.

Beyond the intellect, there is a notion of the fine dance of the energies. When we are in harmony, is it not true that it is hard to tell the difference between the dancer and the dance? When one can set themselves alone or with a partner, whom the Celts would refer to as an “Anam Cara” or “friend of the soul”, one can take the time, in the time that one has, to set aside and embrace the moment of now… Soul-Gazing into one another. Seeing, feeling and hearing the other as oneself…or so they say.

Always enter into a union of this nature with energy that is balanced and pure of thought…Never forceful. Again, this is the difference between getting to do something and having to do something.

While many people think that the opposite of love is hate. Nothing could be further from the truth. Love and hate both hold strong bonds. One comes from a positive polarity, while the other comes from a negative polarity and lest we forget that the laws of the universe clearly state that what we put in through our thoughts in any meditation, comes back to us four-fold.

This begs the intellectual to question, what then is the opposite of this complementary opposite we call love and hate?

Apathy.
