Pleasure is at the Heart of the Tantric Path

I am enjoying this book. I love the format Rudolph Ballentine has chosen, Shiva-Shakti conversation. 

Principle 7. Pleasure is at the heart of the tantric path, it has the capacity to heal, and is closely identified with its corollary, play. ~Rudolph Ballentine

Testimonial of Orgasm vs Ejaculation Class May 11, 2016

Feedback from students feeds our souls. I get so excited when students share their “ah-ha” moments, it reminds me when I do what I love with passion, people feel it. This testimonial was received from the Orgasm vs Ejaculation class Kevin Brizendine and I taught on May 11, 2016.

 

“This is the first health class geared towards men that I have ever heard of. The teaching styles of you and Kevin are such a good fit. Kevin has such a high regard for you and it shows. I can’t tell you how sweet it is to see you two working together. From a presentation standpoint you and Kevin are so natural together it is like watching Regis and Kathy Lee. The subject matter isn’t a fit for morning television, but as a men’s health class (since there are none) I welcomed the basic health information and the breath exercises as well as the explanation of exercises for the man to keep fit for life. We received information and learned how to break down what ejaculation is: 1) Physically and from the energetic and physiological perspective; 2) How to get more pleasure with simple techniques you can literally do anywhere.

The conciseness of all the information was super and the ice breaking exercise with the cards couldn’t be better. Hands down one of your best classes; I hope the two of you do more” –Jolene Stewart, Reno, NV

Grieving

What is grief?A reflection of love. 

The more deeply one loves, the deeper the grief. 

Appreciating the grief knowing the depths of LOVE. 

It’s safe to grieve. 

It’s safe to love.

April 2016 Newsletter

Tantra Sacred Loving  |  April 2016
Hello Friends,

Welcome to this new month we call April. Each day reminds me it will soon be time to plant the garden and welcome the abundance that comes.

I recently attending The Gathering of advanced students and teachers of Source School of Tantra. We learned and explored more about the incredible power of mudras (in Sanskrit this translates as ‘a seal which brings joy’), hand gestures or positions. Mudras have been used for centuries throughout eastern cultures for healing purposes. It was an intense 11 days of deepening our Tantra practices and flowing in the space of spirituality and connection.  I am looking forward to sharing more of these experiences, techniques and practices in upcoming pujas, workshops and sessions. It keeps getting better and better.

The following is what is happening in April:

April 6th is the Chakra Balancing Puja. We will explore our energy bodies through sound vibration of Gene’s amazing crystal bowls,  chakra light therapy by Brenda Frew, movement, laughter, connection and I will guide you in a Chakra Balancing and Blessing practice that will blow your socks off.  It’s going to be super yummy.Buy your ticket today! We will chant the Bija mantra for each chakra beginning promptly at 6:50PM , puja at 7:00PM. See you in the sacred circle.

A interview with Charles Muir  by Rob Sidon, published in Common Ground:

CG to Charles: You’re the granddaddy of the tantra movement in the West and originator of Sacred Spot Massage.
CM: I started teaching tantra yoga to my hatha yoga students in 1980 as part of my school’s curriculum. It quickly became my primary yoga practice. When I started studying hatha yoga in NYC in 1965, there was no “Yoga” in the phone book. The closest listing in the Yel- low Pages was “Dannon Yogurt.” When I made the transition to teaching only tantra, there was no other teacher in the U.S. doing it.

I am the originator of Sacred Spot Massage. It is not an ancient practice from India, but rather is derived from my study and use of a tantric practice called Nyasa (ritual charging and awakening of the chakras), energy, mudra, massage, and psychology…

March 2016 Newsletter

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Spring. The flowers are blooming, the animals are twitterpating, the days are growing longer and hibernation is coming to an end. It feels good to explore in nature, rototil  the garden and smells the sweat scents of the earth.

February was the month of love! With the beautiful Opening to Love Puja and the February is for Lover’s Workshop. So many of you commenting and sharing in the love space. Thank you for your continued love and support.  Remember Love is the important aspect of a relationship, any relationship. “What would love do?” a dear friend reminds me to take a breath and ask this question prior to reacting to any situation.  If the ultimate goal is connection, does the behavior and motivation line up with the goal? Choose the path of Love.

This year, the puja schedule is shifting to every other month. There will not be a puja in March.

TSL-Workshop-2016.03

March 2, 2016 I am offering a Ladies Only workshop: Pelvic Floor Exercises Using Stone Eggs this is a great class to learn more about female anatomy and incredible strengthening techniques.
Here is what one participant said about the class:

Lisa is an amazing teacher! I left class feeling totally connected with my pelvic floor and confident in my ability to do the exercises at home. She created sacred space and answered questions in a clear and concise manner. Lisa explained the techniques very clearly and checked in with each of us to make sure that we got it before moving on to the next thing. I really appreciated that. I also loved how she encouraged us to use our own bodies’ wisdom. Following her gentle prompting to listen to my own body’s wisdom I selected a stone egg that I am so happy with. It was a perfect fit on every level! As it turns out, the stone I selected corresponds with my horoscope!

A meditation on the true heart’s desire: 
As I breathe in, close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my body, I ask the question, “what is my heart’s desire?” The stillness and quiet come, my mind begins to think and I gently remind myself to be patience to await the answer. And there remains stillness. Ahhhh that is the answer. My true heart’s desire in this moment is to experience the quiet, the stillness, the nothingness of being with myself and the Universe.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Color vibrations

Loving Myself Awake in the presence of colors! Breathing in the vibration and frequency of a variety of colors, allowing myself to expand and open as I release and contract. Exploring the depths within that allow me to see myself in a different perspective, the mind gets busy with story and I take a deep inhalation release the story to come to quiet mind. From this place of surrender, messages stream in. How does it get better? 

   
   

The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.

February 2016 Newsletter

Hello Tantra Sacred Loving Friends,

Happy February!

February is an extraordinary month of Tantra events in the Reno Area.  My friend, colleague and co-teacher, Mark Ray, will be joining me in teaching this month’s Opening to Love Puja and the February is for Lovers Weekend Workshop. Mark is a Certified Tantra Educator (Source School of Tantra), who primarily works in the southwest. Mark not only teaches the art of Tantra, he lives a Tantric life and has been married for 35 years. “The sex keeps getting better and better!” claims his wife, Deborah Ray.  Mark is the founder of Southwest Tantra.

Mark and I wrote an article for Reno Tahoe Tonight, entitled For Love of Tantra. Here is a preview, please click here for the full article.

For  the Love of Tantra 
Are you looking for a way to connect more deeply with your partner? Are you looking to create powerful relationships in your life based on intentions? Are you looking to expand your capacity for pleasure? Are you searching for a spiritual practice that grabs you? Are you looking to experience the best sex ever and empower your sexuality? These are all possibilities for those who practice Tantra Yoga. These practices teach how to activate and harness sexual, orgasmic energy to create life, to heal, to expand, to release and to manifest. Tantra Yoga is inclusive of everything and denies nothing, because everything is part of the whole.

Is Tantra Right for You?  

Tantra is a spiritual path that honors all aspects of the human experience, including the incredibly powerful modality of sex. Desire is a natural part of existence and procreation is the primary purpose for the biological creatures that we are. In Tantra we want to celebrate our humanness and expand awareness in all states of consciousness. People are fascinated by the sexual practices that are often associated with Tantra. Sacred sexuality takes sex into the realms of higher consciousness enabling the exploration of heightened dimensions of reality, deeper spiritual connections and powerful aspects of Love. Through the study and practice of Tantra techniques, sacred sexuality can be mastered and further expanded leading to greater awareness of self, others and the Universe.

Vibration of Color

Loving Myself Awake in the vibration and frequency of color!   

Green Vibrations 

Loving Myself Awake in the presence of this green mandala. Allowing the energy to enter my body through the third eye, the vibration goes through each and every cell. My body quivers with surges of energy, senses alive and activated. Exploring the mysteries of the Universe in this frequency. 

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~Nikola Tesla
