So what is all this Tantra stuff anyway?

When many people first encounter Tantra, they don't know what to make of it. After all, a person could take the position that sex is just about reproductive plumbing. However, such a point of view doesn't do sexuality justice. It is like describing a String Quartet as four people scraping horsehair across strings stretched on weird-shaped boxes. Reducing sex to plumbing merely indicates how limited some perspectives can be.

Pursuing the music analogy further, we find that some people have perfect pitch, others lack a musical ear, and the majority of people can hear and create beautiful music provided they have some training. Tantra is all about the training.

Tantric training can help people overcome sexual dysfunction such as impotence, premature ejaculation and frigidity. What is generally not well understood is that Tantra can also be extraordinarily effective with seemingly unrelated psychological disorders such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Asperger's Syndrome and emotional issues associated with developmental difficulties. It is frequently the case where a few sessions with a qualified Dakini can accomplish what a year of conventional therapy cannot.  Nevertheless, due to a prevailing sex-negative moralistic climate, truly effective sex work is often denigrated and held as somehow being less worthy than conventional therapy. In addition, trained Dakinis are particularly helpful in situation the general public tends to disregard, such as sexual fulfillment for the disabled, such as quadriplegics and paraplegics. 

Seeker Initiates can avail themselves of Tantric training on a a variety of levels. Although one-on-one work received at the hands of a trained Daka or Dakini would seem to be the easiest route, serious seekers would do well to take classes and commence regular yogic practice, as this is the only way the more advanced levels are achieved. We invite you to explore the entire site, but to pay particular attention to the Tantra Teachings area.

It is not generally known that advanced Tantric practitioners can achieve seemingly miraculous levels of sexual skill including non-ejaculatory orgasm, Kundalini awakening and dramatic longevity.
