Blog: Here Come The Newlyweds!

post thumbnail

Well, the show has finally aired.  I have done Tantra for Disney!  What a coup!  After waiting 6 months to see what they did with the shoot, I’d say it was somewhat successful!  TV, being the medium that it is, and the show with its own agenda to entertain, I think that at least some seeds of interest were planted.  And while the audience did not get any info on what Tantra is about, they did get to see that it is not necessarily exotic or scary, or “way out there.”  That is a beginning…

I had two intentions for doing this show and that was to feature Tantra in a way that made sacred sexuality a little more accessible and user-friendly and then to generate interest in myself as viable media sexpert.   I definitely feel that I accomplished the Tantra intention and I can only hope for the latter.  Any energy/prayers, appreciation/referrals or interest you can send towards the enhancement of my media career would me much appreciated!

Due to the response of the Newlyweds, I am concerned that I may have missed the boat in my presentation, but I also know that Tantra requires a certain level of maturity and life experience that these kids lacked.  I am just happy that there was a lot of airplay on the subject and I sensed some powerful seeds were planted in them and perhaps, even in the audience and interest in sacred sex will grow!

I recall most of the guys saying, that foreplay was a waste of time — they just wanted to “get to the point.”  That is an understandable response from a culture that is so suppressive of personal sexual expression/enjoyment that most guys learn about it in the privacy of the bathroom or their bedroom, rubbing just as fast as they can for that final good feeling and so they don’t get caught!   Add the religious taboos, and shame enters the equation.  No wonder we do it fast and get it over with!  For those who are able to allow themselves the opportunity to relax and enjoy the good feelings, upliftment and healing that self-pleasuring provide, there is an entirely different experience and a whole new level of pleasure and intimacy available to all!

For those of us that have learned beyond our programming to appreciate and study the potentials of sexploration, we have discovered that we have only begun to tap the potentials and impact that are possible.  Many of us are children of the 60’s who have decided to step out of the box of taboos and traditions, question the rules, and dive beneath the surface of what we encounter.  Why would something that feels so good, have so many restrictions imposed upon it?  After a great orgasm, I feel more centered and connected to my partner and all of creation.  This can’t be BAD!

The “rules” around sexual contact have been traditionally based upon economics, property inheritance, and  the responsibilities engendered by childbirth.  Then when religion is conscripted to help enforce social law, spiritual and social shame enter into psyche.  Now that science has created an option to avoid pregnancy, much of the reasons for these rules are dissolving, creating space for new options, opportunities and an expanded understanding in sexploration.  With this means for greater sexual freedom, in the interests of expanded consciousness and compassionate co-creation, it is important to explore ways that this expansion can support our ideals of love, mutual respect and heart-to-heart connection that is the basis of those taboos in the first place.

Many of us use rules and laws in an effort to protect ourselves and our loved ones from negative experiences.  And yet we know that just about everything has aspects we enjoy and aspects that we don’t.  It is literally impossible to protect ourselves from every experience we do not like, nor should we, for haven’t each of us noticed great value in many experiences that are generally percieved as not wanted?

On the path of Tantra (Sanscrit word for “weaving”), it is about the science of realizing that creation is all ONE.  Therefore, that must also mean that even those things that have been rejected are as much a part of us (oneness consciousness) as those things that we “like.”  Thus, we explore embracing and exploring even those things that have been “taboo,” discovering that beyond what we think about certain aspects of life, things are not all that they may seem.  As we take the time to look a little deeper, there is so much more beyond the surface.  Sexual restriction is just one of many of these types of taboos that Tantra has explored and shares.

For me, the bottom line of Tantric practice is experimenting with Freedom!  Giving one’s self permission and encouragement to explore, experience and embrace life more fully, expanding consciousness, compassion, and experience, which is what life is really all about!  We are here to explore and experiencing the physical as an essential piece of the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS.  So, let’s enjoy playing the Play!

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts”  William Shakespeare.
