The NAH is the Nurturing, Awakening and Healing of the totality of our being. It is considered by the Divine Feminine Institute (DFI) to be the missing link in harmonizing modern emotional and cultural imbalances. The NAH is truly an integrated system, honoring all our Chakras and recognizing that they need nurturing, awakening and healing attention for the wholeness of our Being to emerge. ...more
Question: Jay Leno was talking about Stings four hour orgasms one night and he attributed it to Tantra. Jay had a lot of fun with it and now it seems Tantric Sex is a new catch phrase to describe great sex. What is it exactly and how do I find it? My husband says let's try it. I'm hesitant. It seems like a hype to me. We have great sex. Is it all it is cracked up to be? The Yoga of sex? I'm still confused about it all. I love your responses to relationship stuff. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. J.S. Kihei ...more
“People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That's what it's all finally about, and that's what these clues help us to find within ourselves.” -Joseph Campbell ...more
Union with the divine. It is at the core of all religions, the integration of inner and outer planes of existence. But how do we achieve that integration? How do we connect with the cosmos, make sense of the human experience, inhabit our lives as fully as possible? One of the ways is by honoring the wisdom of the Divine Feminine and experiencing balance in Eros and Logos (eroticism/intuition and reasoning/logic, or feminine and masculine) in our lives. ...more
In the Western world there is a tendency to reduce profound spiritual experience to scientific explanation. It is this perspective that has been taken with one of the ultimate sacred aspects of female sexuality: female ejaculation, or releasing amrita. ...more
By comparing Western personality theories that began approximately 100 years ago in the Victorian Era with Eastern Taoist sex wisdom recorded during the time of the Yellow Emperor over 6000 years ago, we can get a greater scope of the feminine and female sexuality. The great personality theorists, such as Freud, Jung, Alder and Maslow, paved the way for modern psychology through offering views on women that were based on the current societal norm of the feminine. These instrumental men unavoidably provided a male dominated perspective on female sexuality. ...more
Kundalini awakening can happen at any moment and especially in situations where one is practicing any conscious sexual practice. To honor our awakenings (there are many levels of kundalini awakening), we must prepare our body-temple. The human nervous system is designed to handle incredible amounts of energy, however, it needs to first be trained.
For years we have heard Marvin Gaye sing the praises of Sexual Healing, but I didn't really have any idea what he was talking about. When I attended my first Tantra workshop 2 years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. A friend recommended the workshop based on my sharing of personal suffering around the attachments I had built in my life. These were attachments to people, to my ideals, to the ways I thought things "should" be, and to my very limited ideas of what it meant to be sexual, sensual and open. It was suggested that Tantra would assist me in learning to be present for whatever showed up in my life. That seemed a good idea at the time. ...more
