Time to Listen to Your IntuitionOver a decade ago I was feeling frustrated over seeing the way most Westerners thought about Tantra. If you’re like most people, Tantra is “that sex stuff.” Or perhaps you know a bit more about it and thought that it was all about sacred sexuality and extending periods of sexual bliss. In fact, Traditional Tantra [...] The Problem Is With Your “But”Many years ago I read the book Meta-talk: How to uncover hidden meanings in what people say by Gerard I. Nierenberg and Henry Calero. The basic concept is sort of like interpreting body language for the use of words. With body language, the position and motions of the body can amplify or refute the words [...] “How to Get What You Want in the Bedroom:” Mark A. Michaels & Patricia Johnson on SheKnows.comMark A. Michaels and Patricia Johnson, authors of Great Sex Made Simple, Tantra for Erotic Empowerment, and The Essence of Tantric Sexuality, are interviewed on SheKnows.com as tantra experts.

Angela’s 2012 Wrap-UpDecember is truly my favorite month! I love the sights. I love the smells. Even the sounds of music and ringing bells that I’ve heard every year before don’t get old. The sense of magic I felt as a kid flutters back to life as new traditions are made and old ones are celebrated. One [...] Coming AppearancesThis weekend is going to be very busy for me.

The basic concept is that it’s a “step up” from the traditional bedrock magickal skills of the LBRP. But what, specifically, does this mean? When you look at the LBRP, there are two important energetic concepts: raising/generating energy and directing it [...] Magick & Magicians—Tantra & TantricsMagic & Magicians I am a magician. I practice magick and I perform magic. I’ve been a “magician member” of  The Magic Castle, a world-famous club for magician entertainers. I have performed magic for all age groups and have entertained thousands of people. Magic, like magick, has several subcategories. Two such subcategories whose differentiation can [...] A Book That Needs to be WrittenAre you familiar with Tantra? If you live in a Western culture, you probably know that Tantra is “that sex stuff.” It’s about “spiritualized sex,” the Kama Sutra, weird sex positions, and sex that lasts for hours. Didn’t Sting say so? (Okay, now he admits it was a joke.) Even in India, the birthplace of [...] The Five Tantric BodiesOne of the challenges of understanding Tantra is that it transcends the focus most Westerners have that claims Tantra is nothing but, as one author called it, “The Yoga of Sex.” In actuality, that would be like saying an automobile is nothing but “The Yoga of Hubcaps.” There is so much more! In fact, Tantra [...] My Interview Tomorrow: Did Tantra Influence the West?Tomorrow, Saturday, May 12, I’ll be on the Forbidden America Internet Radio Show With host Steve McManus It begins at 11:00 p.m. Eastern (8:00 p.m. Pacific) The scheduled topic is: How Tantra has influenced Judaism, the Kabalah, Western Paganism and magick.
