Dear Reader:
We just love making love Tantric style. Or any style for that matter.
We took a week's break because Jeffre began another graduate program out of town, this time learning energy healing. Energy healing is one practical use of Tantra we both know well already. In fact, Somraj just finished the 30-page chapter about it in our upcoming ebook on the G-Spot and Female Ejaculation. Jeffre's training was about improving health, not just sacred sex.
The sexual energy of our reunion was really intense. Come to think of it, even after several days of catching up on missed sex, it's still ecstatic. Oh, right, it always is -- we're Tantrikas.
Finally, we'll tell you about the other 5 keys answering "What Tantra?" Plus this issue contains some other great stuff. Like learning about the most prudish society (America) and the meditative orgasm. We just hope you're not the type to have one of those "Hot Winter Affairs" you'll read about below.

"Meatballs"
A very wealthy man was having an affair with a European woman for several years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Europe to secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Europe to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for child support payments to begin.
One day, about 8 months later, he came home to his confused wife. 'Honey, you received a very strange post card today,' she said. 'Oh, just give it to me and I will explain it later,' he said. The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted. On the card was written: 'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without.'

"If We'd Grown Up Knowing This"
"I just wanted to say thank you. I just purchased your ebook and I am very excited with the new path I am embarking on. I know that it will take time to learn all about this, but that journey is part of what I am looking forward to the most, as well as the multiple orgasms (who wouldn't be excited about that). I think what you guys are doing is great, and the education you are providing is fantastic. If only we had grown up knowing about this."

"Part 2 Of The Complete Answer To What Is Tantra?"
In our last issue we gave you the first five answers to "What Is Tantra" which you can read here.
The 10 central elements of Tantra are...
1. Spiritual Path
2. Consciousness
3. Self-Love
4. Heart-Centered
5. Say Yes
6. Pleasure Rules
7. Practice Not Preaching
8. Subtle Energy
9. Honor Each Sex Equally
10. Inhabit Body, Not Your Mind
Here are the final five.
6. PLEASURE RULES
- - - - - - - - - - -
Putting pleasure first is central to living life Tantrically. If our basic nature is joyous and nothing is more important than feeling good, then making pleasure a discipline is good spiritual practice. If saying yes to what we want makes us feel good and saying no to what brings us down helps, we must recognize that we're responsible for how we feel. So we choose pleasure. Tantrikas specializing in knowing what they want and asking for it. We excel at celebrating things both big and small. We squeeze every last morsel of enjoyment out of every word, smile, flower, and sunset. Guess what happens when you accept that life is better when pleasure rules? Sex gets a higher priority, which explains why it plays such a pivotal role in Tantric practice. When we approach physical pleasure with consciousness, a self-deserving attitude, and saying yes, we rapidly transform our sex lives into an ever evolving ecstatic journey. Even self-pleasuring becomes an honored ritual. Along the way, we realize that it's vital to drop our white-knuckle grip on goals like giving or having an orgasm every time we have sex. We put attention back where it belongs, on the pleasure we're experiencing right now. (And, by the way, the resulting orgasms are astounding.) In Tantra, sacred sex is a path, not an end, to an exalted state of being.
7. PRACTICE NOT PREACHING
- - - - - - - - - - -
Wouldn't you agree that just about everything you've read so far is easier said than done? That's because most of us go through life accumulating baggage resulting from frustration, loss, bad choices, setbacks, resistance, and conflict. As a result, our present is riddled with memories of pain, shame, guilt, cop-out, anger, sadness, confusion, denial, and struggle. Tantra teaches that these old emotions are stored in our bodies. So we can't just will or think them away. That's why, above all, Tantra is a practice, not a philosophy, set of beliefs, moral system, or enforced dogma. No preaching here. Tantra is based on actions - dance, massage, lovemaking - that deal with the energy lodged deep within. How do we shed this unwanted conditioning? The good news about the issues in our tissues is that pursuing pleasure Tantrically is a surefire antidote. Imagine a system of therapy and renewal based on enjoying yourself. Don't believe it? Try to purely enjoy yourself and you'll promptly bump into internal negative programming ("I'm being selfish!" or "I don't deserve it!") that drags the uninvited past into the present. But by continuously refocusing our attention on what we want and dealing with what gets dredged up, we actively create more pleasure. Though modern therapies have their place, we find that by dwelling on the past, most of them attract more and more struggle. In contrast, routine Tantric practice is fun. Because dynamic meditations and sacred lovemaking make us feel so good, we repeat them often.
8. SUBTLE ENERGY
- - - - - - - - - - -
Tantra wasn't designed as a therapy, but because it focuses on raising awareness of subtle energy, it works that way. By subtle energy we're talking about the life force that causes every cell, organ, and tissue to vibrate. If not for feeling energy moving, how would we become aware of being turned on, angry, nervous, or in love? We feel energetic sensations in our bodies: the heat that spreads in waves, the arousal that raises goose bumps, the tingles and tickles that titillate. Unfortunately, most people don't tune their receivers to these higher finer frequencies percolating inside. In Tantra we study these primal forces localized in the seven energy centers, called chakras, that store physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual power. Through Tantric chakra practices, we clear blockages, cleanse our subtle channels, and learn to circulate and exchange these energies. This becomes a powerful force to dissolve resistance, raise awareness, and fuel transformation. Because sexual energy is the most abundant and underutilized life force, much of Tantra is based on sacred sexual practices that conserve and recirculate these forces. The resulting energy experiences not only help us expand and heal, but create extended full-body Tantric Orgasm unmatched by any physical technique. That's why Tantric S.E.X. stands for Subtle Energy eXchange.
9. HONOR EACH SEX EQUALLY
- - - - - - - - - - -
When we begin to develop this kind of subtle sensitivity, we discover that we're all composed of strong energies of both sexes inside. Tantra teaches that personal growth only comes by making peace with your inner opposite gender. For too long, social pressure has discouraged men from being too feminine and women from wielding their inborn power. True love can only blossom when we accept both sides of our nature and stop trying to make someone else responsible for completing ourselves. In Tantra, we've borrowed the primary Hindu deities, Shiva and his consort Shakti, to represent these different energies. Women develop their inherent Shiva power and forceful determination to make things happen. Men develop their innate soft, gentle, and supportive nurturing Shakti side. Instead of tension between the sexes, Tantrikas make love not war. We learn to honor and revere the God and Goddess in ourselves and each other. As a consequence, we never touch, massage, or penetrate without permission. Lovemaking becomes an amazingly different experience when men enter a no-mind condition and follow the desires of the Shakti Goddess. The same for women following their Shiva. Again, if you're worried about creating a monster, don't be. Worshiping the Goddess or God in your partner doesn't mean to give power to their dark side. Remember, Tantra is a path of consciousness that accentuates the divine qualities of ourselves and our partners.
10. INHABIT YOUR BODY, NOT YOUR MIND
- - - - - - - - - - -
Though these 10 qualities aren't in any particular order, we've saved one of the most pivotal for last. Our minds may have all the qualities of a wonderful computer, but they can't raise consciousness, shed conditioning, change attitude, or create transformation by themselves. Inner beings have to do that. Since we already know that the body is the temple of the soul, it follows that this spiritual shift can only happen when we get in our bodies and out of our minds. To accomplish this, we need to quiet the non-stop thinking that's chattering away continuously inside all of us. A useful way to enter this "no-mind" condition is to heighten our awareness of sensation and focus on what we feel. A vital Tantric practice is to open all of our senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch - and emphasize scents, flowers, music, sensual touch, and the like. Tantra includes no holy artifacts or mandatory regimen. We use these tools purely as reminders to stop thinking and start feeling. Which again is another clear explanation of the emphasis on sacred sex in Tantra. What could be a better teacher of being in the body than non-stop orgasmic bliss?
THE BOTTOM LINE
- - - - - - - - - - -
We suggest stop trying to make yourself into a Tantrika by force of will. It hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of working. Instead, get out of your own way. Adopt a routine of Tantric practice that exercises the real you and creates true spiritual joy.
Along the way, you'll become one of the world's greatest lovers. Your intimacy, sex life, and orgasms will become sacred and life-altering. By learning to make love with life, ourselves, and our beloved consciously, fully, and spiritually, we transcend the outer school of hard knocks and grow into total adoration of ourselves in the world.
We find ourselves in a perpetual state of Supreme Bliss. And we know it as home.

"Most Ridiculous Prudish Society"
"Until quite recently America boasted a Society for Indecency to Naked Animals. As Peter Fryer nicely observes, it should have been "against" rather than "for" "but the founder was stricken in years when he drew up his will."
"What worried the Society was the sight of naked sex organs on animals. In consequence, efforts were quickly made to design bikinis for stallions, petticoats for cows, knickers for bulldogs, and boxer shorts for small animals."
----- From The Illustrated Book of Sexual Records
Editor: Hard to believe but true. Amazing the lengths people will go to avoid confronting the joys of divine sex.

"The Meditative Orgasm"
"THE MEDITATIVE ORGASM absorbs your sexual energy, because you don't have any other energy. Your whole energy is sexual energy, and that vast explosion of joy simply absorbs all your energy. Hence, you need not become a pervert, you need not make an effort to remain celibate. It is just your choice.
"If you want to play old games once in a while, it is perfectly good. In fact, perhaps it should be a part of every enlightened man's life to have sex once in a while, because that will change the attitude of the whole world about sex.
"Then they can see that even an enlightened person can enjoy sex. There is nothing sin-like in it. And it will join the enlightened man and unenlightened man in a bridge. At least on one point, both experience the same thing....
"Love is a natural kind of meditation. And meditation is a supernatural kind of love."

"Delerium Is Good For You"
One of the touted 64 Arts of the Kama Sutra is the use of music to create and enhance mood. Do you ever get chills, or thrills, or turned on from music? Well, we certainly do.
In our top three groups who create incredible lovemaking music is Delerium. These modern German fellows do everything we like about turn-on sounds: beat, bass, hypnotic, and joyful.
Somraj's favorite is their latest, "Poem." But he has to listen to it while skiing, snowboarding, or mountain bike riding. Though the lyrics are sweet and Tantric, they put us too much in our heads when we want to be enjoying our bodies. Our favorite for Tantric Sex is "Karma." Some of the cuts just send us off.

From a recent reader of Somraj's "Ultimate Ejaculation Mastery."
"Different Teachings, Longer Duration"
"I've already started some of the exercises. What is different is the previous info was very limited and incorporated none of the Tantra Teachings which, now that I am aware of those, will make all the difference. I've already shared with my partner, my interest in Tantric Love making....and she received some of the most intimate exchange between us to date. We have been married since April of 1990. She was impressed, not to mention...most satisfied.
"One of the things that made a marked difference in our recent lovemaking was what I read in the early pages of the book; to paraphrase 'enjoy, feel the moment'. In other words, what made the difference was that I, like most uninformed men, not only "felt the moment" but worked towards the climax without regard (most times) for my partner. By "comprehending" the feeling, relaxing and enjoying the feeling and living in the feeling I was able to prolong the pleasure I was experiencing, the pleasure I was providing to my partner and achieve a much more pleasurable duration for us both!"
