YAB-YUM YUM EXERCISE

The Tibetan Buddhist term yab-yum translates as father/mother, masculine/feminine or yang/yin. Yab-yum is the ultimate Tantric lovemaking position because it is ideal for sharing energy.

Time for Exercise: five minutes to one hour

Properties Required: each other

Steps:

In the yab-yum sexual position, the woman straddles the man as he sits cross-legged on the floor in the lotus position. He might have cushions under his knees for support and comfort, especially if he wants to maintain the position for more than a few minutes. Very firm Indian style pillows work perfectly. Alternatively, he might sit on a straight-backed chair and she will climb on top.

The lovers face each other with eyes open. They harmonize their breathing (see Harmony Breath). They can kiss, touching their tongues together. The eyes, breath, and tongues act as energy switches connecting the flow of hot sexual energy between the two lovers’ bodies.

"paintings are talking you, beyond word" ...Buddhist art...

clipper's remarks: "The Buddha did not initiate the creation of sacred images. Once he said to a disciple, who wanted to see him before dying: «Oh, Vakkhali, why do you want to see this body, composed of unclear substances? He who perceives Dharma, Vakkhali, perceives me. He who perceives me perceives Dharma». Thus, as far as we know, there was no worship of the Buddha’s image in the early Buddhist community after his Parinirvāṇa.

Art is also used to facilitate meditation and different ritual practices. The Buddha image, for example, serves as a base for śamatha meditation, and different Tantric images are needed for certain initiation ceremonies, etc.

Buddhist art may remind the viewer of the meaning of the Dharma: “. . . if you have the inner experience of what the [image] symbolizes, every time you see a Mahayana painting, a deep positive imprint is placed upon your mind, and you receive transcendental wisdom.

11 Reality Shows That Prove The Apocalypse Is Upon Us

Reality shows are difficult to understand. "Reality" refers to how "real" something is, so a television show labeled "reality" would have to be "realistic," right? And yet, you've never found yourself in a tuxedo handing roses to 28 year-old investment bankers with Ph.D's in neuroscience and years of training at a Tibetan Tantric-sex monastery. And you've probably never lived in a Hollywood mansion with the dad from Wonder Years and the fat, untalented Baldwin. With that in mind, check out our list of the reality shows that prove the Apocalypse is upon us.

11.) MTV’s A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila

10.) Fox’s Trading Spouses

9.) Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker

8.) VH1's Flavor of Love

7.) Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City

6.) E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians

What does tantric sex have to do with the Kama Sutra, if anything?

Wed, 14 May 2008 15:45:55 GMT

clipped by: pigboom

Clip Source: www.askaboutloveandsex.com

The Kama Sutra dates back to about 400 CE, about 1,600 years. It is a manual for developing the erotic sensibilities, knowledge and skill, including specific instruction on sexual techniques, as well as many other sensual and cultural expressions, referred to as the 64 arts. The approach to sex in the Kama Sutra is from a secular (non-religious, non-spiritual) perspective, whereas Tantra is definitely spiritual. The Kama Sutra does not in any way deny the value of spiritual practice, it is just not presenting that perspective. Tantra is all about awakening to full enlightenment, while the Kama Sutra is about great, satisfying, fulfilling sex, primarily between heterosexual couples. In the Kama Sutra sex was considered an essential aspect of everyone’s education.

About Tantra

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:45:50 GMT

Clip Source: www.squidoo.com

Tantra is a spiritual tradition that originated in India some 4,000 years ago. It is a way of life that celebrates and strives for the union of body, mind, heart and soul. Tantra is a form of yoga. Yoga means union. The ultimate purpose of Tantra is the union of lovers, and ultimately union with the Divine. In the Tantric tradition, sexuality and spirituality are joined. Lovers actually invite God into their bed!

The practices of Tantra were first introduced to the west in the 1800s, but a Tantric revival in the ashrams of India during the late 1960s has led to a gradual popularization of these practices in Europe and North America. Recent testimonials by celebrity musicians and movie stars like Sting and Woody Harrelson have promoted it and Tantra is becoming the sexual learning of choice for those who want to have it all: a passionate sex life, a healthy body, and spiritual growth.

The Male Tantrika

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:42:49 GMT

clipped by: 4freedomstantra
clipper's remarks: The male tantrika practices semen retention through transmutation of the sexual energy. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Clip Source: tantra-sex.blogspot.com

Practicing semen retention does not mean "Never ejaculating." I simply means retaining semen long enough to avoid depletion.
Avoiding ejaculation for too long leads to congestion/stagnation (commonly known as "blue balls") in the male genitalia which can be a problem in itself.
Congestion/stagnation can be lessened through specific practices such as taoist male genital massage.
More important than simple semen retention is learning transmutation of the sexual energy, where the orgasmic impulse is directed up the spine, (spinal orgasm).
With practice, the frequency of ejaculation lengthens as does the time spent lovemaking.
Although orgasm may become more frequent and powerful, it becomes separated from the impulse to ejaculate so that ejaculation occurs only occasionally.
Eventually, the habit of ejaculation will be relearned so that ejaculation becomes difficult. When this happens, intention must be focused to make it occur from time to time."

How to Get Your Partner Excited about Engaging in Tantric Sex

Step 1: Just touch on the topic. Start the conversation by discussing how you want her to enjoy sex more.

Step 2: Start the education process.

Talk about Tantric sex' goals first and not its ways or methods.

Step 3: Tell her it's not even THAT big a mystery.

Let her know that rock star Sting and his wife engages in Tantric sex all the time.

Step 4: Reassure her that your interest in Tantric sex is NOT because there's something 'wrong' in your relationship now.

Step 5: Suggest a good way to start practicing Tantric sex.

A great way to end the discussion is to suggest (not push!) moving forward into trying Tantric sex.

Tantra and Kama Sutra Sex Positions -"Sexual Fire Breath"

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:33:16 GMT

clipped by: 4freedomstantra
clipper's remarks: Sexual Fire Breath

* Lie on your back. Feet flat on the floor/bed. Knees bent. Legs comfortably apart. Hands at your sides, palms up. Eyes closed.

* Begin to breathe slowly and deeply into your belly.

* Focus your attention on your genitals and visualize drawing breath in and out through them.

* When you have a comfortable breathing rhythm established, begin to rock your pelvis, tilting it up toward the sky. Use your feet to slightly push off the floor so that you are not using your abdominal muscles to rock and they can remain loose and open.

* Inhale as you rock back. Exhale as you rock forward. (Note: some bodies want to do it the opposite way – listen to yours and go with what feels right).

* Make sound as you exhale – AAAAAHHHH. (This is the most difficult part for many people but it helps enormously, sound carries the energy).

* When you are in a comfortable rhythm, add PC Pumping. Tighten your PC muscles as you rock back. Relax th

The sexual fire breath is one of the best exercises, especially with a partner (but you can also do it alone), for rapidly building a hot sexual charge and moving it up through your body, helping to open all of your chakra centers. In the sexual fire breath you use a combination of sound, pelvic rocking, PC (pubococcygeous) muscle squeezes, deep abdominal breathing, visualization and hand movements.

The reality of married lovemaking

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:23:22 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: "The challenge for couples is balancing a sense of intimacy and safety and security with a sense of unpredictability and creativity and eroticism," says Barry McCarthy, Ph.D., a psychology professor at American University in Washington, D.C. "When sexual intimacy is strong, making love plays a healthy 15 to 20 percent role in energizing your marriage. The paradox is that when sex is problematic, it plays an inordinately powerful, negative role in new marriages."

The Reality of Married Lovemaking

the frequency and quality of unmarried sex had little to do with the reality of married lovemaking

Nearly half

couples

didn't have sex as often as they'd like

20 percent of new wives reported low sexual desire

For a fourth of the wives, sex meant painful intercourse or elusive orgasms

1 in 10 husbands experienced premature ejaculation

1 in 20 had erection problems

What ever happened to athletic, swinging-from-the-chandeliers, "did-the-earth-move-for-you-too?" prenuptial lovemaking? The deep, mystical, Tantric communing of two spirits? Hours of Hollywood sex complete with mood music, flickering candlelight, and satin sheets?

The excitement of getting married gives couples a hit of dopamine -- a feel-good brain chemical that increases sex drive.

For a few months

things may stay hot

And while you still love each other and feel passionate about each other, the dopamine does settle down.

You're back to real life.

Your expectations about married sex take over.

Tantric Master Breaks Ice Record In NYC

A man who calls himself a tantric master broke his own world record by standing engulfed in ice for 72 minutes.

Wim Hof, 48, stood on a Manhattan street in a clear container filled with ice for an hour and 12 minutes Saturday.

Hof said he survives by controlling his body temperature through tantric meditation. Tantra is an Eastern tradition of ritual and meditation said to bring followers closer to their chosen deities.

Hof set the world record for full body ice contact endurance in 2004, when he immersed himself in ice for an hour and eight minutes.

Hof's feat kicked off BRAINWAVE, a five-month series of events in New York exploring how art, music, and meditation affect the brain.

Tantra Sacred Spiritual Sex

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:36:19 GMT

clipped by: 4freedomstantra

Clip Source: www.askaboutloveandsex.com

Sacred sex goes far beyond the bedroom, helping partners open fully to each other in trust and love through all facets of their relationship. Your relationship itself becomes a vehicle for spiritual growth and personal awareness. As you learn to open to yourself, to your own inner lover, you naturally open to others around you. You begin to understand that surrender does not mean submission or loss of self, but rather a loving expansion to something that is much greater than you are.

Balancing Feminine (Yin) and Masculine (Yang)

n both Taoist (China) and Tantric (India) traditions there are two opposite yet complementary forces at play in the universe, what the Taoists call Yin and Yang. Yin represents the feminine: cool, receptive, moist, and nourishing. Yang represents the masculine: active, dry, and fiery. Women are mostly yin, men are mostly yang—what popular author John Grey calls Venus and Mars—but within each woman there is some masculine energy and within each man some feminine.
