As I move through life I find myself seeking simple natural solutions that assist me in living a slow sensual life. I found as my life got larger, my ability to experience pleasure, happiness and joy became diminished by everyday inconsequential things that took far too much effort and money to obtain. Then once obtained the overall maintenance ate away time that should have been spent enjoying life. Here is where the story of being the student of life begins.
For me simple pleasures bring me far more joy than the grand extravaganzas. The daily sunsets, beautiful interactions, glorious walks on the beach or the good book on my lounge, these are enough. I take my daily lessons from simple gratitudes and beautiful living. In gratitude every moment is a choice, every action has a grand possibility to cultivate the flow of grace. If it doesn’t make me happy, it does not belong in my life. Living life in this juncture allows me to choose intentional joy, and constantly love my life.
Tantra is an esoteric practice dating to the 1st millennium AD, that means “expansion through awareness.” Read more about the history of tantra from Embodied Philosophy. A lifetime of cultivation, devotion and expansion of your human experience in the here and now. The goal is to live a life where you consistently aim to remain a peaceful, relaxed, joyful, ever present, and mindful being. True practice is something we do from moment to moment - day to day: utilizing whatever we can, turning to the wisdom we have. Simply stated, living our life to the best of our ability. Just as a professional athlete does not get there by circumstance. A pure and open heart does not happen by accident. Tantra offers practical tools as a lifestyle choice that removes the layers of our own projections, which obscure the pure view of reality. Just as polluted air cannot spoil the blue sky. A clear, pure, blissful state of mind remains when we emerge from the perpetual cycle of dissatisfaction.
Today, anyone seeking good heath and wellbeing knows diet and physical activity are the bedrock of living well. We all know we can never stop “practicing'‘ health or wellbeing. Bringing Tantra in your life opens the door to the possibility of sustainable happiness. The experience of joy and happiness can expand our ability to give and receive pleasure, in living and loving. Leading us to love the life we live, just as we are, right where we are! If you choose Tantra (or if it chooses you) it becomes a journey of self discovery that has no end. Once you realize fulfillment can become a fundamental part of your human experience, why would you want anything else for yourself?
Do you seek a new way to turn your life on?
Enrich intimacy
Remove the burden of mistaken views
Rewire concepts of the “correct view” of who you are and your own reality
Uproot wrong views and banish them completely
Walk with me - together we can find the way to, love life!
