Tantra
Sexual Awakening Healing
All Life IS Energy
All that exists within the universe is composed of
energy: electro-magnetic energy, thermal-chemical energy,
potential-gravitational energy, solar-photonic energy, subatomic-nuclear
energy, psychic-mental energy, vibrational-sound energy....
We live in an ocean of energy: we breathe energy, smell energy, taste
energy, see energy, touch energy and think energy. Whether we are aware
of it or not, energy in one form or another permeates every one and
every thing. This energy is processed and incorporated within our
beings at every moment of our lives. The law of physics states that
“energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transmuted from one form
to another”. This transformation or shift of energy from one state to
another is called “Alchemy”. Working or interacting with any of these
forms of energy -within- the body mind is called "Tantra".
The Interaction between All Energy is Sexual
The opportunities afforded us in this incarnation to viscerally experience life as energy
are quite remarkable. Through the senses of our body, our consciousness can experience the very
dualistic nature of existence... swinging from one energetic extreme to
another, in constant motion and change, in contrast and conflict,
pleasure and pain, triumph and failure, ecstasy and despair, love and
fear, creation and dissolution, life and death....
Through all these diverse experiences...
our spiritual awakening is accelerated.
Our Comfort Zone
In each one of us there is a part that is insecure amongst the shifting
tides of life, afraid of any sort of change. This part strives for
constancy, normality, security, stability, a known identity. This
part wants to have everything all figured out, where we must have
control of all that is happening instead of allowing the mystery to
unfold. This part holds on for dear life to past experiences and
memories which keeps us from being fully present in the Now. This part
plots and plans our life out to the smallest detail, locking us into a
set way of being, shutting us down so we can only function inside a
container or "box" of limited thinking and feeling. This is our psychic
"comfort zone"... and we invest most all our power in maintaining these
self imposed illusions (no matter if it holds us back from our greatest
potential). And if there is any deviation meeting its expectations (due
to outer force or circumstance), we are resistant and judgmental,
disappointed and angry, blaming life, other people or God.
Judgment
Our psyches tend to hold judgment of life as it is or isn't, what it
should or should not be, that one experience is superior or more
desirable than another. We pursue the "pleasant" experiences and
feelings while avoiding the "negative"... even if the so called
"negative" experiences and feelings may hold more life energy and
growth.
Attachment is Suffering
According to Buddhist teachings, any and all “attachment”... be it to
people, places, things, events, experiences, expectations, thoughts,
feelings, false hopes or preconceived ideas... is the primary cause of
suffering. Any attachment locks us into a ridged energy pattern that
makes us resistant to positive growth, preventing us from flowing with
life "as it is" in the ever present ever changing NOW.
Life is Change
"Peace" found in "No Change" is "Death"
The evolutionary "game of life" (on this dimension) is based on duality,
where the balance points constantly shift from one polarity to another
(and all points in between). As soon as one has established any state of
neutrality (an equilibrium or stability in any one position), a new
factor is introduced and we are forced to start all over again (this is
true for everyone here with no exception). This change insures that all
life is continually tested (pushed stretched and pulled) to evolve,
adapt and grow (otherwise life gets dull and boring). Depending on our
attitude, this can be fun (or frustrating), but life remains what it is
- a juggling act: on the one hand we are ever trying to find and reside
in the mysterious and illusive balance points... on the other life keeps
dropping new "balls" into our hands.
"Change" is the only constant thing in this universe. We either accept,
flow and surrender to change... or we will be in a constant state of
frustration, pain and disappointment. And if we ever reach a pinnacle of
feeling "We Have Arrived"... the energy dynamics inherent in life will
always shift and this feeling will leave. This is probably why drugs
have such a strong appeal – who wants "feeling good" to end? (and we all
love the illusion of “Happily Ever After”). Of course, death is the
ultimate release, bringing us out of this "juggling act" (this "game of
life")... but what challenge is that? (None). If life maintained a
constant state of equilibrium, there would be no dynamism, no
excitement, no growth. Knowing of our psychic attachment to our "comfort
zone", our Higher Soul Self and God (who is ever working behind the
scenes) "conspires" with our Spirit helpers to do everything possible to
shift us out of our complacency and stagnation, encouraging us back onto
our spiritual evolutionary path.

Tantric
Healing applies dualistic elements that catalyzes an energetic
reaction that not only breaks up old holding patterns (stagnations),
but frees ones energy and consciousness from external fixations and
attachments, allowing it to drop into a more balanced energy called
Zero Point.
Awakening the Kundalini
In Tantric healing, if you are presenting an extreme of one polarity,
the opposite element may be applied. Eventually, the pendulum swings of
your energy will be less and less pronounced as you shift into a
more balanced position (this Zero Point) and move deeper within.
As your outward directed energy drops down into the center, it may
eventually enter the psychic channel of the "Kundalini" and begin to
awaken its latent powers. As this energy rises through your channels
and chakras, you may experience feelings of Bliss, Love, Light and
Peace.
However, attachment to any such experiences - be they amazing psychic
powers or spiritual energetic phenomenon of any kind - will be an
impediment on ones path. None of this is the final destination, but
simply one more stage on the journey.
The Spiritual Path is like riding a hot air balloon
in order to ascend to the highest heights
we must eventually let go of everything. |
White & Red Tantra
Depending upon where a person currently resides on the scale of
"extremes", one may conclude there are two different paths towards
reaching a balance point.
On one hand we have the "White Tantric Path"... which works with the
cooling, light, cosmic, expansive energies and vibrations (found in the
higher multi-dimensional chakras, Soul Aspects and God Self). For
someone whose awareness is fixated on the physical and mental realities
(the lower levels and densities) this polarity is used. This sort of
purifying energy work can be difficult to feel at first as it is
extremely subtle and light, but none the less it is very important.
Spirit usually begins most healing work here, not only because this end
of the spectrum is generally safer, but it prepares one to more easily
open up to receive energy work on the lower chakras and lower selves.
On the other hand we have the "Red Tantric Path"... which works with the
fiery, creative, concentrated sexual energies and vibrations (found in
the lower chakras and lower selves). Depending upon ones particular
history, these levels of ones being can often hold much violent,
traumatic and destructive energy patterns and memories. If awakened and
activated before adequate preparation (i.e. purification as done in the
White Tantric work) there can be an exaggerated, violent and detrimental
reaction. This is the "Healing Crisis" in extreme - caused
by overly activating these latent neurological and psychological
imbalances, unresolved issues and energies. To a certain extent, a
healing crisis cannot be avoided during the normal course of any sort of
healing work, but it can be minimized by laying the proper foundations -
namely, by preparing and purifying the body mind and soul in a precise
order (or sequence) of unfoldment... one that is not forced (according
to how the ego-mind thinks and wills), but one that flows (according to
the agenda, direction and timing of the Higher Self).
Because this healing work originates from Source, your experience of it
may seem similar to other processes and paths you may have done in the
past. But no matter how you categorize it, your healing will be uniquely
tailored to you and your needs. I am simply offering here a general
description of what might occur (in session) in the context of "Tantra"
(as I understand it) but there are really no hard and fast rules -
Spirit unfolds our path the way it wills... often not making any sense
to us at all.
Warning
(to those who want to do it themselves)
There are always a few people who (after having read a few books and
taken a few classes) get the notion that forcibly stimulating themselves
on these lower chakras (through drugs or certain intense spiritual yogic
practices) is the way to go. Unfortunately, this often creates more
problems: like a Pandora's box, they have let loose such powerful
energies that cannot then be so easily controlled, balanced and
integrated... all of which may further cause physical and psychic burn
out, mental and emotional imbalance, insanity, disease or premature
death. Additionally, by opening up in these forceful ways, they make
themselves vulnerable to being manipulated and controlled by the lower
entities that exist on such levels. Undoing such damage inflicted upon
the energy field and psyche is possible.. but it will take much healing
work.
Tantric Relationships
This healing work makes it possible to experience the true intimacy
("in-to-me-see") of a sacred spiritual relationship (or at the least, it
can be used as preparation for one). This work helps open the channels
of communication, allowing you to connect with another clearly and
without distortion. As your energy, consciousness and vibrations
accelerate and shift into a higher gear, relationships begin to take on
a whole new meaning and purpose.
As you do this work, you begin to let go of the old and open to the
possibility of attracting new friends (and lovers) who better resonate
with where you are now at. A new way of living, relating and being will
manifest, and you will be able to more fully and deeply experience the
uninhibited and unadulterated sharing of love with another. This is the
promise for the coming spiritual millennia - the Tantric Relationship.
Overcoming Addiction
Tantra is about becoming "One" with Source, be it the Universe, Love or
God. Its principles may be applied to help work through (confront
or overcome) all that we have a negative charge on (as in negative
karma). Tantra is also an important tool to help those who are trying to
overcome an attachment or "addiction". One key to releasing or getting
over something (or someone) is to become so totally at one with that
object that there ceases to be any separation between it and you - like
an arm, it is just there and we don't need to think or obsess about it
anymore. But as long as one sees or feels a separation, such a thing has
a power over you.
Deep
down, we all desire to return to Oneness and Unity. Any outer
thing (substance) or person we feel attached (or addicted) too
is just symbolic of that inner yearning. |
Let's use cigarettes as an example. When you feel compelled to smoke,
instead, hold it in your hand, reverently, sacredly. Meditate on its
energy and consciousness... this is your lover - that which you desire
and want to be with. In your mind, become the cigarette... feel its
power, its essence, its vibration, its spirit moving into and merging
with you. Without judgment, be aware of all the thoughts, memories and
feelings that come up, pleasant, or not. Look upon them all with
gentleness and grace... then bless and let them go. Do this practice
more and more until, with the power of your mind, you can transform this
energy back into pure spirit without ever taking a puff. To be
successful using this method one must have a serious, committed, willful
intention and desire and not give up. This method is not a trick or play
on the mind – it is a serious tool of transformation. If you use it, it
should work for you. In addition, the healing sessions can be of
support.
You can take any object... it may be a "negative" issue you want to work
on... or a “positive” thing such as a loving relationship, clients,
money... anything you want to draw into your life. Imagine you are
holding whatever this is between your open palms. Close your eyes and
try to feel its energy, but if not feeling,
intend
that the power, the essence, the vibration of that thing is in your
energy field, communicating with your Higher Self. Something will come
back from Spirit and send you a message or gift – watch and feel for it.
Once you do this enough times, your mind will see and feel less and less
a difference between you and the outer world. This technique may help
your mind come closer to the realization that there is no separation -
the inner "landscape of your Soul" and outer universe is One!
The Inner Pharmacy
We have been created with the most powerful chemistry lab within our
very own bodies
(inside of which is the true location of "Ambrosia" - the "Nectar of the
Gods"). Feed these bodies certain natural substances and this chemistry
lab starts producing - in the proper doses - the drugs we need to
maintain good health. However, once we imbibe these drugs (from an
external source), our bodies often cease production... and taken to an
extreme, lead to outer dependency and addiction. Drugs are just one
substance that can be abused (there are many more).
The lower powers that have been in control on this planet (on one
dimension or another) know all about our weaknesses... and wanting to
stay in "business", "they" do everything to distract us from our inner
selves and make us as dependent and addicted as possible. To that end,
they try to manipulate our mind into believing in an authority outside
ourselves so we can be more easily controlled as they see fit... and
thus make more and more money (by selling us their drugs, politics,
religion, wars, or whatever else they are peddling). This racket has
been going on for thousands of years... but only now are many of us
waking up and becoming aware of the deception, manipulation, control.
Yes, there really is a conspiracy, but when you work with the Higher
Power there is no contest - in the end we win (so don't worry).
Global Consciousness
We live in a very dense, materially oriented world where everyone around
us is living in self imposed, contracted, constricted boxes of
consciousness and energy so extreme that our own consciousness and
energy is boxed in by everyone else's boxes!!! The best place to start
breaking out of these boxes is where we have the most influence - within
our selves.
If we met with no energetic resistance anywhere within or around on any
level, our consciousness and energy would expand to fill the farthest
reaches of the universe. For example, if you have ever been on vacation
to a remote part of the planet (especially alone) away from the hustle
and bustle of the busy world, you may have felt your consciousness and
energy field expand... and you may have felt more light, free and happy.
I feel degrees of this every time I leave the energy field of Southern
California and cross the border into Arizona. The material mind set in
California can at times be a bit oppressive... but one doesn't realize
until removed from its sphere of influence. No wonder many astronauts
traveling in outer space report awakening to an expanded, enlightened,
global consciousness. Not all of us alive are so lucky to be able to get
that far away.. but when we finally leave this life we will have plenty
of time to experience what that's like.
However, no matter how far away we remove ourselves, the dark, heavy,
worrisome consciousness of the world has an insidious tendency to
intrude upon the fringes of our awareness, itching its way into our
blissful oblivion. This cannot be avoided. It does not matter how rich,
beautiful, intelligent, even enlightened we are... nor does it matter
whatever distractions or addictions we use to escape - as long as the
sorrows of the world continue to exist, they will influence our
consciousness. A part of us knows this, which makes it hard to totally
let go and relax. Death is no escape either - even incorporeal spirits
are (somewhat) influenced by the suffering experienced on this earth
plane. Once we leave our bodies, we become more sensitive and aware of
the conditions on earth, and we may ask "What can we do to alleviate
this suffering, mass forgetfulness and confusion?"
The Bodhisattva - The Path of
Compassion
There comes a time on a souls’ life path where the sense of self awakens
and expands to such a degree... where ones heart become so open and
sensitive... that one begins to acutely feel and know the pain and
suffering in this world. Seeing and feeling the inter-connections and
inter-dependencies we all have with each other and all of life, the
conclusion arises that the only way to be free is to help others be
free. It is at this major turning point when the soul realizes that
personal salvation is not enough. And for this soul, trying to lighten
the planetary heart of its pain and suffering becomes a major reason for
being. However, the awakened soul must be very clear... to be most
effective at serving this higher calling, one must first be healed and
whole. If you carry the smallest amount of your own stuff, be it pain
and suffering, ulterior motive, personal agenda or attachment... Spirit
is going to be limited in its ability to work through your channels.
Spirit will of course still come through, but not to the degree, level
or power possible.
The primary task of the aspiring teacher, healer or "Bodhisattva" - no
matter how lofty their goal - is to be as free and clear as possible
(otherwise it is something akin to "the blind leading the blind").
Spiritual Liberation starts by working on the self, which then radiates
outward (not the other way around). The more love and light we have in
and for ourselves... the more we can give to others. So to all those
sensitive souls who feel for the world and its suffering and want to go
out and be teachers or healers... by receiving as much healing work as
you can, you are empowering yourself to be a better channel for Spirit
to work through. "Charity begins at home" is the saying, so let’s start
healing you first... then we can move out and heal the world.
For many Bodhisattva's (including Star Seeded Souls) their initial
purpose to incarnate was to be personal and planetary teachers and
healers. Unfortunately, after many lifetimes living in density and
illusion, such souls tended to accumulate so much negative “stuff” that
they lost sight of their original purpose. In order for these souls to
return on point and take up their work, their first responsibility is to
be cleared and healed so that the higher power may flow from out of a
pure channel.
The more Grace you receive, the more it can be bestowed upon others so
that they too may have a greater sense of love, freedom, awareness and
compassion. Thus is awakened the "Bodhisattva" - one who lives upon the
earth plane to be a channel for Spirit. All else becomes trivial
compared to this grand task - no other activity truly engages the heart
and soul quite like it. As a channel of the Higher Self, your very
presence brings Grace and Light to all. It may come through the little
and quiet things you do, but it is the spirit and energy behind it that
makes the difference. You become another strong link in the chain of
enlightened human consciousness. As you expand further into this role,
your spirit will grow larger and more powerful. You will become a
reborn, renewed and refreshed being, every day new opportunities to
serve and love.
We are the vehicles for spirit to work through. Realizing this, the
Bodhisattva's primary responsibility is concerned with removing or
clearing the energetic and vibrational resistances held within their
self, for they know, in order to heal and change the world we must first
be healed and whole. Having cleared our channels enough, the merits of
our inner work can then spread outwards, healing and uplifting the world
and its people. If you have done any work with me in the past, you may
have noticed that as your energy becomes clearer and the light of your
consciousness expands, people in your immediate environment are
affected. The impact of this realization is MASSIVE ! It means that to
the extent you do the work, YOU hold the potential to powerfully effect
positive change in the world.
I
cannot give you the answer. That said...
I can invite you to partake in the mysteries. Contradictions,
questions, uncertainty...
faith, trust, perseverance, sacrifice, hard work...
what more does the spiritual warrior need? |
If you want to participate in this grand work
the invitation is presented - the choice is yours.
I look forward to your inquiries
