Tantric Sex

Recently, I have become enthralled with the idea of tantric sex.  I don't know if it's because I am in a new relationship or just a natural progression of things for me spiritually. I never really viewed tantric sex as just sex, but I never realized how spiritual and renewing it actually is. It is something that I would actively persue in my relationship as I can see how it can really deepen the bond between two people who love each other.  The sex is just the icing on the cake. I recently discovered a blog by a sister who not only practice tantra but is in an open marriage with her husband.( http://www.jujumamablog.com)  Some of her reasonings have appealed to me, especially those about women returning and rediscovering their feminine ways.  I do believe that women today have had to take on male roles and it wrecking havoc not only on our families but their bodies as well. I have been inspired by this sisters blog to rediscover my feminine ways,not just for sexual purposes, but for me.  I want to tap into my feminine powers and be the best WOMAN I can be. I am currently reading The complete idiots guide to tantric sex and it's proving to be a great read.  I am anxious to apply what I am learning. If you haven't looked into tantric sex, I would highly recommend it. It is proving to be a healing and beneficial modality. I think that if more couples practiced this art, the rate of divorce would lower significantly..in my honest opinion.

The twelve benefits of tantric sex practice: Taken from the complete idiots guide of tantric sex


1. Expand your possibilities for love. Tantric sex shows you how to deepen the
physical and spiritual connection with your partner, and nurture and love
yourself.

2. Rejuvenate your health. Practicing tantric sex has physiological and psychological
effects that maintain—and regain—health. For example, breathing techniques
bring more air into the body, nourishing the tissues and muscles. Research
has shown a link between the effects of relaxation, meditation, and spirituality
and better physical and emotional health. People who are spiritual have lower
blood pressure, lower levels of anxiety and depression, more stable hormone levels,
and better functioning immune systems.

3. Tap into the fountain of youth. For all the health benefits mentioned previously,
practicing tantra can make you feel and look young again.

4. Empower women. Many women suffer from low self-esteem. They might have
a poor body image or they might give in to sex when they would really like to
say no or not tell their partner what they really want. In tantric sex, women are
treated with the respect and honor they desire and deserve.

5. Empower men. So many men worry about their penis size, and how long they
last in sex. Many also don’t know how to commit or really please a woman.
When men feel more empowered in sex, they become more confident and open
to being more caring in their relationship.

6. Help you achieve true satisfaction from sex. When the sex act is over, are you
ever left with the feeling that you’re not really finished? This is often because
the sexual act does not go beyond the genitals—it does not touch the heart. In
tantric sex, you can reach the state in which every cell in your body feels nurtured
from the soul connection you feel with your partner. When sex happens
with this kind of heart connection, both body and mind are fed.

7. Alleviate anxieties and depression. Statistics show millions of men and women
suffer from anxiety and depression, including symptoms like fatigue, listlessness,
and sleeping and eating disturbances. Tantric sex provides an enormous source
of energy to the body and peacefulness to the mind that overcomes these
problems.

8. Elevate sex. When you elevate sex to a level of sacredness, it takes on a richer
dimension than a mere physical act.

9. Prolong pleasure. Tantric sex techniques make lovemaking—including the afterglow—
last a long time. This occurs not only through ejaculatory control but
by learning to direct sexual energy anywhere in the body or into spiritual manifestations.

10. Heal past emotional wounds. Tantric sex can help you heal past hurts from all
kinds of painful or traumatic experiences in which you felt betrayed or abused.
Instead, it helps you create experiences of being honored and respected in sex
and in life in general.

11. Deepen your connection to others. Tantric sex gives more meaning to life and
enriches your relationships.

12. Affect the world positively. Your personal gains cause you to generate more
positive and loving energy outwardly, extending to everyone you come into
contact with, even altering the energy of the planet (since all things on a metaphysical
or spiritual level are interrelated).
