Special in-depth interview with ALan Steinfeld on Inna's breakthrough book, The Secret Language of your Body;
published by Atria.
The subject is vast and covers many aspects.
This site alone will keep you busy for a while:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantra
----------------------------------------------------
In the West we seem to use the term Tantra mainly related to sex.
I consider our attitudes towards sex (and Death) juvenile, and major blocks
to our feeling free. So any support in that area is - A Good Thing.
Won't go into details here as I have covered it many times.
The major thing is that sex is prohibited at a time when our sexual energy
is awakening - the time when we need to be experimenting.
Some studies show that that the first sexual awakening is an attraction
towards the same sex.
Then intense infatuations towards the opposite sex (except in some people)
- that feel as though they are going to last forever - and usually last a
week or so.
Then the healthy way is to keep experimenting until we are experienced,
and feel something extra strong with a partner enough to live and and spend
an extended time with them. Until/if it is time to move on.
Again, not going into details here, but in order to be more aware about this
very powerful basic life energy we do need to study and take into account
the basic procreation instincts and the accompanying chemicals,
We also need to be aware of our highly constricting conditioning.
Strictly - only sex with your partner, and only for procreation.
Don't think so? Up to 1969 Washington it was a felony to have sex with
anyone except your partner - and only in the missionary position!
When I last checked it was still illegal in some states to have oral sex -
even with your partner!
And as for anal sex - not long ago some men were in still prison for this
'offence.'
(On America Television - blurring out nipples - even when only vaguely
showing - through a blouse!)
Most people never go beyond the very early stages of sexual desire -
because 'They' do not want us to. It is one of the most effective ways to
keep control - and the resulting frustration makes good soldiers.
Most people die sexually unfulfilled.
Best remedy: Just Do It.
----------------------------------------------------
In the East:
"Sex has three distinct and separate purposes —
procreation, pleasure, and liberation."
And:
"Tantrism is a quest for spiritual perfection and magical power.
Its purpose is to achieve complete control of oneself, and of all the forces
of nature, in order to attain union with the cosmos and with the divine."
Out of many Tantric practices I think there are only two main ones that are
based on sex. Left hand and right hand paths.
The left hand path is... interesting. It invokes the 'dark forces' and
culminates in having intercourse with the dead body of a virgin girl.
(Not a highly recommended path for a person living in the West eh -
would be hard to find a young virgin! - alive, yet alone dead.)
The right hand path includes sex, and is not focussed upon it. Briefly:
Having attained a certain level of consciousness one applies to a Tantric
Master. Once accepted you have follow their orders - strictly.
Years of meditation and breathing exercises until one becomes ready for the
next stage - the Master selects your partner.
With eyes closed, mantras and meditations prepare you for the next step -
considering your partner as God.
At first, sitting opposite each other - with eyes closed - until you feel
prepared enough to open your eyes - and look down at feet - of God.
Then, over time, into their eyes; touching; caressing; and eventually gentle
intercourse - with God!
This is the situation.
To raise your vibration/consciousness to the point of being equal to having
intimate physical connection - with God.
Both partners are having intimate physical contact - with God.
With the penis inside, no movement. Just energy.
Eventually, not only becoming one with your partner, God, but integrating to
the point where it is not integration, or even 'one with' - just... One.
--------------------------------------------
Not wanting to travel to the East and attempting to find a Tantric Master?
No worries - try a 'Do It Yourself' method - in the comfort of your own bed.
Free basic instructions:
First find a suitable partner .
(Preferably the opposite sex - it is to do with the opposites/complimentary
types of energy required. And if you are not drawn to the opposite sex -
you could experiment. It could work if the attraction is physical and not
just mental. That is a whole other story.)
A suitable partner is someone to whom you feel a gentle and loving
attraction. Best not an energy where you get 'all worked up' and just want
to rush towards a orgasm.
With eyes open, softly and gently caress each other - equally,
until you feel it is time for the penis to enter the vagina.
Still with eyes open, with the woman on top of the man, gently let the penis
into the vagina.
Then, staying softly still, looking deeply into each other, just allow.
After a while let the eyes close, feel an expansion of your love and respect
for your partner.
Don't look for it, and, this is what may happen.
At first your partner has a name.
Then the name dissolves and there is just the being of the opposite gender.
Then the gender dissolves - and they are just a being.
Then this being, and yourself, starts to feel more like - just energy.
Then your energies start to dissolve into each other.
Two energies dissolved into each other - until there is just one energy.
Then, One.
Then...

Rough summery:
Western Tantra is about going beyond sexual conditioning
and into sexual liberation.
Eastern Tantra - Liberation.

Huge Mistake! – Without inflammation, cholesterol won't accumulate in blood vessel walls and cause heart disease
We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact.
I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers.” Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.

Brain training games won't make you smarter – but a dose of blue light or an electrical shock just might
BREATHE in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. I crack open an eye. Everyone else has theirs closed. I shut it again. Breathe in, breathe out. Around me people are sitting crossed-legged, meditating. For some it's spiritual, for others an oasis of calm. Me? I'm building a better brain.
Many years ago I had a realisation for me about sex.
I realised that the sexual feelings I enjoyed most was enjoying the
enjoyment of the person I was with.
Is that clear?
The most enjoyment I have gotten from sex is enjoying the other person
enjoying. I enjoy people enjoying.
Same with love.
I love loving, and most of all, I love people feeling themselves loved.
When they accept me loving them it is a gift for me.
It is rare though. Most people do not feel worthy of being loved.
They do not deem themselves good enough to be loved, just as they are.
So if you love them they think you are not seeing them clearly, you are
infatuated, or a bit nuts - or all of the above.
I seem to love everybody (and everything) so it is there all the time now.
And the sensation increases in the moment with individuals.
When someone connects with the love I am feeling for them in that moment,
it is as though, at the level of the heart, a soft balloon gently opens and
a shower of loving tingly sensations flow through the whole of me.
Some people think the spice would go out of life if there was not conflict.
I have not found it that way. I have tried both - and I am feeling very
fulfilled with this way thank you.
That is one of the 'reasons' I am attempting to share.
And if it does not connect - no worries - I am sure it will,
in your unique way, one day.
Sending you soft tingly love...
>I am feeling some bliss too these days,
Great. Lots of people writing to say such things,
and reporting lovely 'unusual' experiences. Seems 'It' may be happening.
>but it often comes up through the second chakra so it activates the sexual
>center, but if I stay with it it moves up to the higher levels.
If it activates any centre it means that centre is not yet clear -
so may need the energy/attention.
Plus:
"When you see the up as the down, and the down as the up..."
...attributed to Jesus.
I expect you know this already.
Up and down are just perspectives - fabricated by our minds - in order to
function on a material level.
(When the planet is 'upside down' what is up and what is down?
And in relation to what? Just the field of gravity - whatever that is -
even scientists don't know.)
There are so many 'facts' that our minds 'take for granted' - when in fact,
they are not facts at all - but just ideas put into us by people who have
just made assumptions - based on other 'ignorant' people's ignorant
assumptions. Tiddly Pom.
(And these 'facts' are usually disproved later -
although it is looking pretty certain that the planet is now round.
Hard to have an up and a down on a revolving sphere eh.)
Here is another consideration.
From the East we have 'adopted' that the Kundalini rises,
and we have assumed that, that is 'A Good Thing.'
(And where does that assumption stand - when there is no good and no bad?)
In this acceptance we assume that when energy reaches a certain place the
levels through which it has passed are then clear. This may not be so.
It may be that a certain amount of energy does move, but has not yet cleared
out all the centres - and may not, in any case, move consecutively.
It maybe that the sexual centre still needs some concentrated energy in
order to complete its transformation - or maybe it doesn't need/want
transforming - it may just want some fun!
We really do not know anything - yet we assume we even know what that means.
Suggestion:
Don't interfere - in any way at all. With anything. Not even with ideas.
We just don't know - anything. So just be with what is. Not so easy eh.
Another suggestion: Have fun!
Sending you lots of love...
Consider this: the multiorgasmic male is not a myth. With some
amount of training, men can achieve what I refer to as ‘energy
orgasms,’ that can be reproduced many times over in the course
of one sexual encounter, rivaling the experience of a multiorgasmic
woman.
The mental shift required to access this experience involves
looking at the ejaculation-centered model of sex as a habit
rather than as the norm. There are no alternatives presented to
men at any stage of our development that challenge this habitual
behavior, and so for the majority of men this mode of operating
sexually persists throughout their entire lives. However, learning to
delay or forgo ejaculation in favor of energy orgasms introduces a
man to dimensions of his sexuality that go unexplored in this limited
model.
To understand how energy orgasms are possible we have to talk about
what we mean by the term ‘sexual energy.’ Most men would say that
sexual energy is what they feel when they get a hard-on, or the thrill
that results when you lock eyes with a woman across the room, the
‘stirring in the loins’ that signals sexual arousal.
For the purposes of cultivating energy orgasms, sexual energy is best
described as an impulse or sensation that directly precedes erection, but
for most men does not register as a separate experience from sexual arousal.
This is because the sensation elicits an instantaneous command from
the male mind that something has to be done about this impulse.
It may be immediately filtered into a sexual fantasy, or, if the context
allows and an erection results, then ejaculation either in the context of
masturbation or sex must necessarily follow. A third and largely ignored
option is to train that initial impulse to follow a new and exciting pathway.
An energy orgasm feels like a pleasurable electric jolt or pulsating energy
stream of variable intensity that courses up the spine and disperses throughout
the entire body. It is the result of training the impulse that precedes erection
and ejaculation to reverse its direction and flow upward rather than outward.
Redirecting the flow of energy is essentially a two-fold strategy: simple
exercises involving breath control and muscular contraction; and mental
focus to guide the energy flow to specific areas. The exercises are invaluable
in that they create an awareness of sexual energy as an independent
phenomenon from erection and ejaculation, and reinvigorate dormant
energy channels that distribute the sensations of sexual arousal throughout
the entire body. An obvious comparison would be digging channels from
a static body of water to supply flow to a greater area. The result is an
extended full-body orgasm, rather than the typical genital-centered
experience of ejaculation.
Why would a man want to achieve this capability? Benefits include:
1) Increase libido without pharmaceuticals. The fallacy of libido and potency
dwindling with age is rampant in our culture. Increasing number of men are
turning to pharmaceuticals as the only solution to this perceived problem.
Learning the energy orgasm techniques restore a man’s natural capabilities
for sexual arousal and erection.
2) Resolve post-ejaculation depression and exhaustion. This is a common,
yet seldom-discussed phenomenon. Redistributing sexual energy throughout
the entire body limits the feeling of depletion commonly experienced after
ejaculation.
3) Control ejaculation and prolong sexual excitement. Rather than having
ejaculation be an unpredictable product of urgency, there is a choice of whether to
ejaculate at all and if so, to do it when you want to. Delaying
ejaculation intensifies energy orgasms which in turn intensifies the eventual
ejaculation.
4) Redirect and transform distracting sexual urges. It is not very empowering
to be led around by one’s penis, yet it is the condition of most men. Energy
orgasm techniques enable men to manage strong impulses while enjoying the
intensity of a sexually-charged environment
5) Deepen intimacy. Energy orgasms occur in waves that mirror a woman’s
sexual rhythm. This synchronicity in timing increases the likelihood of simultaneous
climaxing while enhancing intimacy.
6) Expand your range and capacity for sensual pleasure. When sexual energy
is redirected, it is redistributed throughout the body and stimulates dormant
erogenous zones.
7) Improve prostate health. Some of the exercises involve the
rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle,
which naturally massages the prostate and increases blood flow to the area.
James Rolwing, DC, offers Energy Orgasm workshops that instruct men in the
techniques described above.
Energy Orgasm Weekend Seminars
For men, the greatest barrier to satisfying sex and sexual intimacy is our focus on ejaculation as the only possibility of experiencing sexual pleasure. Most men wrongly assume that they are incapable of an extended orgasm that rivals that of a woman. This usually translates into a man’s experience of sex as a stress-filled management of his eventual ejaculation.
To compound matters, men are being sold the story of impaired male sexuality exemplified by television commercials showing men resolving erectile dysfunction with the wonder drug that is going to “cure” impotence. And, we are now being told that if men live long enough, they are destined to experience prostate problems, if not prostate cancer.
Men have access to a dormant but powerful source of energy that has habitually received only limited expression. Energy Orgasm is about discovering this missing element in men’s sexuality. Through simple and powerful techniques the potential for a new experience of male sexuality arises while old, limiting habits of sexual behavior and beliefs are dissolved. Through the redirection of sexual energy, participants may experience the opening of long-dormant channels, transforming the energy of ejaculation.
Energy Orgasm weekend seminars offer men the opportunity to learn these techniques and cultivate a broader experience of male sexuality.
Day One
Exploration of male sexuality to uncover hidden and unconscious beliefs and patterns that hinder and sabotage sexual fulfillment. This gives us a context in which to understand our current situation both individually and collectively. Participants should bear in mind that this is a rare opportunity to approach subjects that are seldom addressed in our culture, either publicly or in private. All discussions are kept in strict confidence, both by the facilitator and the participants. Participants are introduced to basic techniques of directing sexual energy.
Day Two
Participants will give feedback on any impressions and observations from practicing basic techniques, with a Question & Answer session for clarifications. Presentation of advanced techniques involving more intense stimulation that eventually, with practice, culminate in male ‘energy orgasms’.

Olive oil, once used in the U.S. mostly by immigrants from Mediterranean countries and adventurous gourmets, is now mainstream. In 2007, Americans consumed over 70 million gallons; a nearly ten-fold increase since 1982.
This is good news, as olive oil has the highest percentage of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat of any edible oil, and quality brands contain abundant antioxidants, substances that have been shown to provide cardiovascular and anti-cancer effects.
When choosing olive oil, I recommend buying small bottles of certified organic extra-virgin olive oil. Check the label for the ICEA (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica e Ambientale, which means Ethical and Environmental Certification Institute) logo, and that of another organic certification body such as the USDA's green-and-white ORGANIC logo. Quality extra-virgin olive oil should have a natural peppery finish and a deep, "green" aroma
of grass and artichoke. Such oils are not cheap, because they rely on careful cultivation that preserves olive oils legendary taste and health benefits. But the reward is more than worth it.
