The Multi Orgasmic Couple

Harmonizing sexual energy is paramount for paramours. Taoists see men's sexual energy as fire, quick to ignite and extinguish (hence the post-coital grunt-and-roll phenomenon), while women's energy is water, slower to boil but longer lasting. Further, in this view a woman's sexual energy starts in her head and "trickles down" over her heart to her genitals, while a man's energy ignites in the genitals and flares up past his heart to his mind.

The early Taoists were physicians as well as sexologists, and their centuries-old teachings encourage sex not only for pleasure and intimacy, but for lifelong health, creativity, and longevity. Orgasm is something to cultivate and pursue weekly if not daily, although men learn to separate ejaculation from orgasm and often forgo the former. Coauthored by four longtime practitioners of Taoist sexuality, this book does what The Joy of Sex did for millions of readers: it shines a clear light into foggy areas of sex that have been shrouded, overly mystified, or misunderstood. The 50-odd drawings here, in fact, were created by the same illustrator. Thai author Mantak Chia has done an admirable job with his coauthors of making the mystifying concepts of sexual energy so vivid.

Taoist sexuality is, above all, rooted in nature and in the physical. The authors first teach basic exercises like belly breathing and PC-muscle toning (Kegels aren't just for women anymore), as well as pulling energy down from the head to the genitals, circulating sexual energy in the mind, and sharing life-giving energy with a partner. Taoist sex is all about energy flow. "Your genitals and spine are like a water wheel that draws the energy up your spine and then pours it into your head to replenish your brain. From there it flows down like a waterfall into your abdomen, where it can be stored in a life-giving reservoir of energy." The 28 exercises here all teach a deeper energetic sensitivity within oneself before cultivating the flow of sexual energy with a partner. This is an excellent distillation of Taoist sexuality, an antidote for Westerners living "in their heads," and an inspiration for those wanting to "sex the spirit" while they make love.

CULTIVATING FEMALE SEXUAL ENERGY

This book is absolutely essential to those serious about taking their sex, and really their entire life, to the next level of spiritual fulfillment. I have so many good things to say about this book. It was discontinued for years and I finally managed to find a copy of it for my collection. After introducing the reader to some basic Taoist principles of energy and stress and spirituality, which it explains very well and in clear discourse, it launches into the main part of the book - direct application. The book is not just about sex, it is about sexual energy. First the power and different uses of sexual energy is explained, then the book goes over exercises women can do to harness the power of their latent sexual energy to vitalize their body and spirit. This part requires great practice and is frustrating sometimes because there are so many parts to the exercise and some parts take a long time to master. Completing this is best, but not necessary, before moving on to the interactive lessons of the book. Mastering these exercises in and of themselves will change your life as your find you have more energy, less or no PMS, a better attitude, and a more focused perspective. Then the next part of the book gives you a series of exercises designed to help you better enjoy and more heartily contribute to your own sexual experience. Some of these exercises are difficult or take time but I can personally guarantee you they are worth your while. The Egg Exercise alone is worthy of buying the whole book! This part also shows how to transform some of the sexual energy created during sex into spiritual energy. The third part is very interactive and spells out techniques to employ during sexual activity. And good things come to those who wait because this portion is the easiest to learn and master. Techniques range from those designed to create longer and more intense orgasms to those designed to heal physical imbalances in the body to those meant to strengthen emotional connections between partners to those meant to be a supra-meditative experience where you "touch the face of God" even. It's amazing and there is something for anybody. The book concludes with a few loose ends that get tied up, including a brief section for lesbian women! Seriously, this book is an awesome and powerful tool. And it needs to be taken seriously by those who really want to awaken their entire selves, souls, hearts to the joyous experience of living. Your partner will thank you for the rest of your relationship. Most importantly, you will thank yourself for the rest of your life:)

The Great Book of Tantra
by Indra Sinha

Excerpt from the Great Book of Tantra, "Without doubt, the man who erects a Siva-linga earns ten million times more merit than by giving away all his gold to the poor and sick, or by inviting ten thousand to a sacrifice, or by digging wells in a waterless country."
In the Hindu tradition, the esoteric practice of Tantra regards sexual energy as a path to spiritual wisdom. For more than two thousand years, India has produced a wealth of erotic literature and art, much of which has been accessible only to tantric initiates. While a few tantric texts such as the Kama Sutra, and the Ananga Ranga have become famous over the centuries, there are numerous other manuals and erotic works that are hardly known in the West.

The Yoni
Sacred Symbol of Female Creative Power
By: Rufus C. Camphausen
From earliest times, humanity has found visual expression for the cosmic forces of creation, birth, and passion in artistic representations of Goddess images of the vulva--known in the East since ancient times as the yoni.
Yoni symbolism is a part of spiritual traditions in every part of the globe--from the naturally occurring "yoni rocks" revered by North American Indians to the shakta-pithas of Hindu temples, and from the Sheela-na-gig carvings on early Celtic churches to the Japanese kagura ritual. The Yoni traces this primal motif in Aboriginal folk tales, in alchemy, in Tantric practices, and in contemporary symbology by artists such as Georgia O'Keefe and Judy Chicago. Dozens of illustrations reproduce the varied portrayals of this universal symbol of feminine creativity.

Aphrodite's Daughters:

Women's Sexual Stories and the Journey of the Soul

by Jalaja Bonheim, PhD

A spellbinding exploration of how women's sexual experience affects their spiritual unfolding, Aphrodite's Daughters is based on the life stories of women of all ages and religious backgrounds. Stories about love and marriage, birth and death, healing from sexual abuse, aging, the sacred masculine, Tantra, the demon lover, cunt healing, sex and ritual, mothers and daughters, and much more. Respectful, readable, and profound, this book will make you laugh and cry. Above all, it will make you view your sexuality in a whole new way. Highly recommended for men, too!

From the Introduction:

Sex is an inherently sacred and soulful force, and if we look carefully, with an open mind, we will find that our sexual stories yield rich spiritual nourishment. Women have always found sacredness in the midst of the ordinary, harvesting spiritual wisdom from the fields and forests of their everyday embodied experience. Yet especially in sexual matters, our knowledge has remained largely unspoken, as if we were creatures of the sea who float and turn silently in the depths, graceful but mute. The stories you will find in the following pages reveal what rich treasure lies concealed beneath the blanket of silence. They bear witness to the beauty of the feminine spirit, and to the magnificent flowering of maturity, insight, and soulfulness that sexual experience can elicit in our lives.

Critical acclaim for Aphrodite's Daughters:

"A brave, beautiful, erotic and wise book in a society where sexuality, like so much of our humanity, is cut off from the sacred. Jalaja Bonheim's honesty marries body to ecstasy, heart to spirit."
Jack Kornfield, Buddhist teacher, author of A Path with Heart

"Aphrodite's Daughters unfolds our long-clenched and denied bodies so that we can open again to th healing stories of sex as sacrament, search, and spiritual reunion."
New Age Journal

"This book moved me more than any other I have read. I cried as I read it. I carted it around with me and savored it. I place it on the small list of books that have truly changed my life, books that have greatly enlightened and comforted me."
Sofia Shafquat, author of The Shadow Man

"An excellent, unusual, passionate book!"
Booklist

Aphrodite's Daughters : Womens Sexual Stories and the Journey of the Soul is published by Fireside, a division of Simon & Schuster, and is available through any bookstore. 400 pages, ISBN 0-684-83080-9

Passionate Enlightenment:
Women in Tantric Buddhism
Miranda Shaw

Winner of the 1994 Tricycle Prize for Excellence in Buddhist Scholarship
Winner of the 1994 James Henry Breasted Prize of the American Historical Association

The crowning cultural achievement of medieval India, Tantric Buddhism is known in the West primarily for the sexual practices of its adherents, who strive to transform erotic passion into spiritual ecstasy. Historians of religion have long held that the enlightenment thus attempted was for men only, and that women in the movement were at best marginal and subordinated and at worst degraded and exploited. Miranda Shaw argues to the contrary, presenting extensive new evidence of the outspoken and independent female founders of the Tantric movement and their creative role in shaping its distinctive vision of gender relations and sacred sexuality.

Reviews:

"This book is a welcome and wonderful addition to feminist scholarship on Buddhism, a rapidly growing endeavor. . . . Miranda Shaw's discussion of passion and intimacy as a path of practice is exemplary in its demonstration that such practices can only be undertaken by equals who share the same vision, the same aspiration for enlightenment, and the same training and meditative skills."--Rita Gross, Shambhala Sun

"A feminist critique of a male (and Western) view of the Tantric tradition [and also] a balanced reassessment of a tradition too long misunderstood."--James George, Parabola

Tantra : The Cult of the Feminine

Tantra : The Cult of the Feminine reveals a practical And balanced, modern view of the secret teachings of Tantra yoga. Tantra, known in India for several millenia, brings us a different view of life, the world, and oneself which is at once new and archaic, exotic yet very close to the roost of each of us. Being neither a seer nor a religion, it is a yogic discipline that awakens not only the sacredness and magic of the sexual act, but of life itself.
Van Lysebeth discloses the sexual techniques of Tantra that can be used by Western couples to enchance relationships and help open the door to a new kind of enlightenment. He also reveals the wisdom of tantra- the essential belief that our universe is a creations of the physical and spiritual union of the Male and Female principles, manifested in the human plane as Love. He shows us how the repression of feminine values in our patriachal civilization is the esoteric cause of many of the modern world’s crises. Tantra affirms that a true understanding of feminine values can bring about much-needed changes in our society. Van Lysebeth’s warmth and insight brings modern readers to new dimensions of feeling and understanding!
