Tantra
Path To
Enlightenment or Sexual Freedom?
 Tantra for
most people is seen as something vague and
mysterious from the East, so we look at the
origins of Tantra and the significance
of God and
Goddess as ideals in life symbolised by
Buddha and the Goddess Tara.
We hear
tales in the media that it Tantra is all
about sex
and how to improve sexual experience /
performance. This is a valid perspective and
it has helped thousands of couples to deepen
their understanding and communication with
each other.
A
new class of healer has emerged, shaped by
the transformation of society particularly
since the 1960's. These gifted people
possess a deep understanding of humanity and
the subtleties of human nature, combined with
holistic idealism, they are helping to to
heal the sexual wounds of men and women and
deepen the understanding of all of life. You
can find personal healers and
teachers to assist with easing
your life journey.
Tantra is
really about who we are, something that deep
down excites you, and yet from our position
on the surface of life are afraid to look.
This something empowers us to reach for the
stars with clarity and understanding.
While words cannot describe tantra, they point the way and
describe steps on the path of tantra.
In these
pages you will find some answers and perhaps
understanding of a rich spiritual tradition
that includes all of life from birth to death
and teaches the art of living in joy.
In classical tantric
sex, the orgasm is the trivial element in an otherwise
masterful experience. The sacred occurs in the dance of two
people bringing themselves slowly — with tantalizing
concentration — to the point right before orgasm, and then
holding the powerful energy in that place with pointed
effort. Tantric sexual rituals, exercises and meditations
are largely derived from ancient books that depict a
dialogue between the Hindu god Shiva and his female consort
Shakti. In author Georg Feuerstein's own extractions from
these texts, he writes that all tantra students should
understand certain things before making the commitment to
tantric study, including the fact that tantric study will
create access to the reservoirs of psychic power we are all
born with. In doing so, he cautions, we should never exploit
these gifts to our gain, as in the case with sexuality, but
instead determine to use the newfound energy responsibly. Kimberly Nichols /

 A
wonderful guide to touch the mystical experience of Tantra,
December 29, 1997
This book is a wonderful introduction to the the wonders of
Tantra. Though not a long book, it has a lot of interesting
information. I learned a lot about my own body's
capabilities and through the techniques, greatly enhanced my
enjoyment and my prowess as a lover (and improved my lover's
enjoyment as well). Mumford's book is an excellent resource
for unusual and powerful insights into the sacred magic of
Tantra/sexuality. There is a very informative glossary of
terms in the book, and explanations about certain aspects
that may be surprising. The chapter on the Tantric Weekend
is a wonderful guide to share a beautiful and loving retreat
with one's partner. I strongly recommend this book to
improve relationships not only between lovers but also to
one's own potential to touch their own sacred bliss and
enjoyment of their own bodies. John Mumford has obviously
done his research, because he points out aspects in his book
that I've not seen in other books on Tantra. I think the
thing I like best about his book is that it allows eastern
Tantra to meet with the western mind. My current copy is the
second one I've bought because the first one I bought became
so dog-eared...Highly recommended.
