Tantra: A Journey In Discovery

Are you ready for an explosion of energy in your life? Then you must be ready to challenge yourself and face the unknown. Many people, who integrate tantra into their relationships or become sole practitioners, quickly notice that their energy begins to oscillate at a much higher rate, which can have a number of effects in the early stages.

A part of me wanted to return to basque in my old, comfortable and slovenly ways. Fortunately, I soon realized that the current of life, that carried me was far greater than anything I could swim against.

Eventually, you have to let go…
