Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diana Richardson, an acclaimed authority on human sexuality, began a personal enquiry into the union of sex and meditation (the essence of tantra) over twenty five years ago while living in India. Through these innocent steps and motivated by simple curiosity, she gained deep insights into the spiritual and generative implications of sex that lie beyond its reproductive aspect. She stresses that it is the how of sex, and not the what of sex, that determines the difference. With additional information we can begin to honor the innate sexual intelligence that exists in our bodies as a subtle electro-magnetic reality. On this fine and delicate level man and woman function as equal yet opposite forces that are highly complimentary. Embracing this polarity potential can elevate and transform sex into an empowering and spiritual act, an experience that creates and sustains love, peace and harmony. Her simple, down to earth and practical approach as presented in her books has created a wave of positive resonance and response from readers worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love Letters from Golok chronicles the courtship between two Buddhist tantric masters, Tāre Lhamo (1938–2002) and Namtrul Rinpoche (1944–2011), and their passion for reinvigorating Buddhism in eastern Tibet during the post-Mao era. In fifty-six letters exchanged from 1978 to 1980, Tāre Lhamo and Namtrul Rinpoche envisioned a shared destiny to "heal the damage" done to Buddhism during the years leading up to and including the Cultural Revolution. Holly Gayley retrieves the personal and prophetic dimensions of their courtship and its consummation in a twenty-year religious career that informs issues of gender and agency in Buddhism, cultural preservation among Tibetan communities, and alternative histories for minorities in China. The correspondence between Tare Lhamo and Namtrul Rinpoche is the first collection of "love letters" to come to light in Tibetan literature. Blending tantric imagery with poetic and folk song styles, their letters have a fresh vernacular tone comparable to the love songs of the Sixth Dalai Lama, but with an eastern Tibetan flavor. Gayley reads these letters against hagiographic writings about the couple, supplemented by field research, to illuminate representational strategies that serve to narrate cultural trauma in a redemptive key, quite unlike Chinese scar literature or the testimonials of exile Tibetans. With special attention to Tare Lhamo's role as a tantric heroine and her hagiographic fusion with Namtrul Rinpoche, Gayley vividly shows how Buddhist masters have adapted Tibetan literary genres to share private intimacies and address contemporary social concerns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of love, separation, and rediscovery in a time of cultural and spiritual upheaval in Tibet. An inspiring and intimate tale set against the turmoil of recent Tibetan history, Inseparable across Lifetimes offers for the first time the translations of love letters between two modern Buddhist visionaries. The letters are poetic, affectionate, and prophetic, articulating a hopeful vision of renewal that drew on their past lives together and led to their twenty-year partnership. This couple played a significant role in restoring Buddhism in the region of Golok once China’s revolutionary fervor gave way to reform. Holly Gayley, who was given their correspondence by Namtrul Rinpoche himself, has translated their lives and letters in order to share their remarkable story with the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when suddenly the wind changes and the loving connection between two partners is disrupted for hours or even days? Why is love associated with ups and downs? The answer is simple although not obvious - usually a wave of emotion which has roots in the past floods the atmosphere. The authors show in easy to follow steps how to recognise emotions, to leave them behind, and to create space for the expression of real feelings where love has a chance. ,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy or Pornography? Two radical thinkers tackle the fundamental problems of passion between men and its relationship to spirituality. In a vibrant, erudite, and candid correspondence that spans the 1990s, these two old friends from Oxford explore how the ancient mysticism of Tantra can work in today’s world to bring about the transformation of sexual ecstasy into Self-realization. The writers are equally passionate about shadowy issues that are largely disowned by the mainstream and the gay community: sexual compulsion, self-condemnation, perversion, addiction, self-destruction, jealousy, and possessiveness. Drawing on their own raw personal experience and intense reflection, they use the philosophy and practice of Tantra to probe these enigmas and discover the highest purposes of their sexuality. “... a revolutionary book .... a ‘must read’ for anyone, man AND woman, interested in spiritual awakening through the conscious cultivation of sexual ecstasy.” --Margot Anand, The Art of Sexual Ecstasy VICTOR BLISS is an American who studied Comparative Religion and Philosophy at Harvard, Oxford, and the Sorbonne, and Psychotherapy at the Jung Institute in Zurich. Since 1965 he has studied and practiced Tantra under several masters in India and the West. Based in California, he has a private practice, teaches seminars and leads workshops in America, Europe, and Asia. Victor Bliss has long been a philosophical critic of the anti-sexual prejudice of the Christian tradition. In view of the recent pedophilia crises in the Catholic Church, Bliss is active in initiating a new kind of critique and dialogue about spirituality and sexuality in the Christian tradition.

Educated at Oxford and the University of California, Berkeley, he received his PhD for a dissertation on homoerotic desire in the context of Freudian psychoanalysis. He currently lives in Paris, where he works as an art critic, therapist, and kickboxing coach. Victor Bliss and Nathan James are creating a resource, The MANTANTRA Project, for men interested in evolving their sexuality to a higher level. For information, see: www.mantantra.com.

Book excerpt: Sometimes it can be difficult for even the closest of partners to fully express their love during sex. We may resist deeper intimacy for many reasons, among them pain, insecurity, or simply a fear of sharing our most natural desire for physical love with another person. Tantra can help you dissolve these barriers to intimacy, and invites you to awaken the physical and spiritual energy that can bring partners together as loving soul mates. Tantric Love unlocks the secret powers of meditation, breathing, massage, and more to help you celebrate and revitalize your love life. Each chapter focuses on one of the chakras -- or energy centers -- in the body and offers simple exercises that will help you share this energy and open the door to ecstasy. Discover new ways of pleasing your partner Enjoy sexual satisfaction through and beyond orgasm Learn how to open up to your partner -- both in and out of the bedroomAs you move from one stage to the next, you'll find that you're not only connecting with your lover on a physical level but on a deep spiritual level, too -- one that prepares you for a loving, lasting commitment to each other.
