Recording With Tantra: Voice of The Goddess. Plus - How It All Started. . .

Tantra ~ "Key to the Garden Gates"
Is not a spiritual movement, or a religion, or a set of 180 asanas, or even a way of life.  It is ONLY the key to the Garden Gates, which our ancestors locked behind them when they went walkabout the last 20 centuries.  It is time we turned the key and walked back in to claim, with wonder and excitement, our birthright.  Like when Willy Wonka opens the doors to the factory, revealing every child's dream come true.  The practice of Tantra during the recording of a vocal performance imprints the experience of the singer onto the musical waves, leaving the "factory doors" wide open, for anyone who cares to listen and respond.  Purely from a musical perspective, the quality of the singer's voice is enhanced beyond recognition.  What began as a personal expression of the singer's musical soul, is no longer recognizable to her family, friends and vocal coaches.  Through the power of sustained climax, its breadth and depth touch the infinite an ineffable quality you can feel and recognize but defies description for she is now singing with the original "Voice of Love", the earthly manifestation of pure Goddess energy and that which all mankind seeks from birth until their glorious return in Spirit to All that IS.  Though difficult to elucidate, this is the Love the Bible calls "God", Creator of All that IS.  It is what Jesus commanded us to make our lives an expression of when he uttered the most revolutionary phrase ever spoken, making personal power the low-hanging fruit it has always been (for it our birthright).  Imagine the most intense Love you have ever felt for any person, such as perhaps your first true love.  It is that intensity of Love Jesus meant...multiplied by infinity.  Tantra, used in recording for the mass market is the first chance at correcting a mistake our forebears made - a bad one - the one that lost us the Garden of Eden, which the Earth was meant to be.  When Adam and Eve went walkabout, closing the Garden gate behind them, and they  heard the clang shut, it wasn't the lack of pockets that caused Adam to go on vacation forgetting his keys, it was the forgetting...he forgot who he was but more importantly, he forgot who Eve was.  She was NOT made from his rib, she didn't entice him into leaving in the first place, or into getting God mad at him.  Very probably, he lost his way back and refused to ask directions.  Now we have directions, and true to her nature, woman is listening, but true to his nature man is telling woman, "TANTRA! - Beware-it is of the devil, it is a sham, a fake, just a way to get you into bed."

Ah, poor mankind.  The suffixes match like military intelligence sometimes.  Man - kind.  That's why you will rarely if ever see the word on this site.  

Humankind is at a crossroads.  We can completely ignore the words of Jesus and every other spark of the almighty sent to help us in our hour of need, or we can perish.  Environmentalists, while important, well-meaning and - well, I love them - they are good people-are also deluded in that they have misplaced their fear.  Humankind cannot hurt the Earth in any lasting way but can easily destroy itself.  The first to go as the Earth spins a little faster, the sun shines a little brighter, will be those who cannot withstand the increase in frequency, followed by those who would have been able to were it not for the closet crammed with secrets, poised to bury them as the door is opened.  They will be the most surprised - they who judged the sexually free for succumbing to the base demands of the flesh when they could have transmuted that course "low" root energy into "higher", finer, light-filled spiritual energy, saying the same as the Catholic church that persecuted the Tantra order, even as they fled underground, demanding they leave an acceptable "version" of their teachings behind, to become the "Approved Tantra" (my favorite being the practice of stopping the man from ejaculating and "wasting that precious, rare commodity of  spiritual energy", backed up by medical science that says the twenty-minute (male) orgasm I had in front of Stan Grof, M.D., witnessed by over 200 of his followers, is impossible).

Tantra is opening the door and it is already scaring a lot of people, no more so than the men whose closets are so crammed full of secrets they are in mortal danger.

But for the rest of us, it is available - finally - what we've been waiting to hear all our lives - the voice of the Goddess.  The sensual, ecstatic, blissful Erotic Love that by herself makes the pursuit of pleasure the very definition of what Jesus instructed us to do. Jesus, Buddha, everyone in the know . . .

She sings and the earthly manifestation of true Love is revealed ~ imprinted on our souls and everyone who enters through the garden gates is our soul mate.  There is no better feeling.  

Finally, it's safe to feel again.  [Breathes a huge sigh of relief] Thank God!

The process is quite natural, safe and immensely enjoyable.  Yet it can bring such powerful changes in the basic quality of the vocal apparatus, it sounds like an entirely different singer. Given the humble origins of the theory that led to the conception of Tantra Voice Coaching Goddess Training, that until now has been the proprietary technique of one film and television music composer and producer, it seems improbable that all  women were designed to be the muse for all of humankind - yet it's true.  Even if she just wishes to become a very good singer, the personal changes this experience can have on a singer's life path, apart from the financial and creative rewards the music itself brings, has led some to pursue TANTRA as a spiritual calling and others to protect their "secret method" with jealous zeal, making it a proprietary tool of her own after experiencing it during the recording of a song by the composer/producer who originated it.

One singer who has been the lead vocalist on many of these powerful songs, used in more than 200 films and 1,600 television episodes writes, "Knowing that the ecstasy you feel as you sing is the same your audience will feel as they listen, is a profound experience, powerful and freeing, yet the liberation it has brought me personally - the freedom to experience my own deepest pleasure without guilt or shame, has endowed it with a certain responsibility, too.  Every time I record, I feel it incumbent upon me to achieve greater and greater heights of ecstasy-to bring as much of that experience and the sense of freedom and personal power it engenders as I can to every project. It's the best and only way I can see of helping others escape the effects the oppressive, negative programming I got about sex and erotic love from my church, schools and even my parents. If I can bring others that feeling more powerfully by feeling it myself - more and more with each new recording - then maybe I can help others reclaim their lives, too - their own happiness and joy - physical joy as well as emotional - as I have."

The guilt and shame that seem to follow sexual bliss around like evil twins is surprisingly absent from the performers who use Tantra during their recordings.  They experience it as "probably the healthiest, freest  orgasm I've ever had, yet the strongest and most all-encompassing, full of unconditional love."  A lot of this has to do with the personal relationship with the producer, too. "I don't think I've ever experienced a love as pure.  The sense of being cared for and protected far surpasses any other experience either creative and public, or personal and intimate.  The combination of empathy, care and skill is extraordinary," singers who experienced it have said.

There are now about a dozen and all have said they "thoroughly enjoyed  it."  Most have said a lot more than that, including the one who sang the composer's first CBS piece: 

"As powerful as the sexual feelings were and as close as I felt to everyone there [in the recording studio], especially [the composer], I am certain within my soul that it would have been a betrayal of my life mission not to do this work and the first thing I did when I got home was to renegotiate my marriage vows to include Tantra, and as a devout Christian woman, in a deeply-committed marriage, orgasm is now included as the central expression of my devotion to God and my connection to the divine - far surpassing anything I once called "prayer". 

"The result is that for the first time my work has become as sacred as the temple from which it emerges."

What "Temple" would that be? And is this some kind of cult?  No. No more than any other creative enterprise is a "cult". As far as it being religious, it is only in that few would argue who believe in any form of God that He is the ultimate Creator, and most who hear the sound of the singers as they traverse this process say it is like the voice of angels or the voice of the Goddess, depending on their orientation.  The "Temple" she refers to is a concept that singer brought to Tantric Voice Coaching and almost everyone who has participated in this amazing venture has added her own spice to the "secret recipe".  She is referring to mind-body medicine that considers the body a Temple that we should treat with the respect and care of any other sacred place since it houses our most precious earthly commodity ~ Life itself!  Even the medical establishment has begun to embrace this concept in an effort to inspire patients to take responsibility for their own health and well being. 

After she sent me the email with what I quoted above, I asked her to elaborate, since this work is so hard to put into words and she already had such a nice start.  Here's what she sent me: 

I was writing of my center, my hara, the core from which my music emanates.  Out of this swirling vortex of Love the Voice of the Goddess often emerges.  It begins with the first orgasm triggered by the chemical/nuclear transformation that occurs when lingham and yoni first touch, expanding wave after wave as dozens of circuits programmed to bring the ecstasy of heaven and earth into blissful contact at the lingham's touch throw off sparks that catch fire, fueled by the musical impulse itself - deeply-rooted primal vocalizations that as they build in number and power, burn hotter until the raging fires of passion soar on the wings of melody, traversing the dimensions as only music can do, weaving together my own orgiastic ecstasy with the music of the spheres.  Such powerful orgasms crash over my body that they begin to emit their own sound, which in its power, reverberates in the center of the Creative Core, and returns in perfect mathematical frequency with the ebb and flow of Unconditional Life, imprinted with each convulsion of orgiastic bliss that passes through my body and emerges as the Voice of the Goddess.

It should be noted here that the infinite depth of the All that IS at the center of her hara is then captured with a microphone chosen to be the most perfect complement to this sound, which is individual to each singer so that her sound is not just beautiful but powerful, not just likable but irresistible

One can only feel deep sympathy for the poor wretch of a man who attempts to stand in the way of this Force that has emerged to avenge the mighty pen, be he Pope, pauper or AP reporter.  With the beginning of the higher frequencies already begun, we will in our lifetimes see the beginning of the wearing away of the rubble their lives of freedom were built upon, the LAWS too rigid to accommodate changes required of a populace that demanded humanity, Good, and Love from its "nation of laws", the ugly courthouses that purported to balance the actions of its lawless police, FBI and CIA, and will see the possibility that our grandchildrens' grandchildren will see not a footprint left of this oppressive chapter and humanity can resume - free.

---------------------------------

The same techniques are now being used with film actresses in the shooting of feature films and it appears to work just as well for them - it is the closest thing I've ever seen to true "magic".  The techniques used to help my singers achieve and maintain orgasms for their vocal work are the same healing techniques I teach other therapists and producers, used daily to help heal others from trauma and recover their sexual health in tantric massage treatments like the one described here by an eyewitness who after she wrote this began the healing work herself.

The healing, encouraging, powerfully intimate and freeing techniques that bring a sense of wholeness and unconditional erotic love to the singers are tested, tried and true and are totally safe.  I've been using them in my work producing vocals in recording studios for over 15 years now and have recorded more than 100 songs this way, in more than 200 films and over a thousand prime time television episodes.

How It All Started

This is the story of how I discovered by accident how Tantra can be used to powerfully improve vocal performance to such a degree that it becomes a different voice entirely, while imbuing the singer with charisma and sex appeal.

The lead singer in my ska band was having some trouble with some of the songs.  Her vocal sound was never great anyway but we kept her because she could "sell" a song onstage and there weren't that many great vocalists in my tiny hometown.  We made an afternoon appointment to work on some of the songs when we wouldn't be disturbed, while everyone was at work.  I decided to start with an easy song and build from there but she was having trouble even with a vocal that should have been easy.  I tried everything and she just couldn't get it.  Finally I decided to try a technique I'd had success with training horses - bringing her along "on my energy".  I started by having her maintain eye contact with me as she sang - and that's when I discovered what the problem had been all along.

She was totally distracted by the orgone energy I had been consciously developing, using powerful Tantra asanas and building massive amounts of sexual energy, compressing it into my pelvis, believing it would increase my stage presence.  Later I found out that was exactly backwards from how real Tantra works from the very Guru responsible for the misinformation.  The energy has to be moving to even be noticed by an audience.  But it still served a useful purpose that day when she let me in on what was bothering her, "I can't even look at you, I'm so turned on," she told me.  It didn't help she was married to the lead guitarist in the band or that teenage hormones were still coursing through our veins.  She grabbed me and being the age I was, didn't even try to resist.  As soon as our stomachs touched I got my first look at how powerful and sex can be.  The heat emanating from her body was like striking a match in a gas leak, and my overloaded second chakra poured flaming orgone energy into her, causing rhythmic convulsions I have since come to know as an especially powerful variety of Tantra-induced orgasm but that day thought for a moment were seizures.

Finally I made the connection between what was happening to her and my Tantra work, but brushed it off and tried to got us back to recording as soon as possible.  Suddenly she could do the part we'd been struggling with.  At first I thought it was because of our "circumstantial energy" and that having sex on the recording studio floor had unblocked her, providing the release she needed to break past through, but that didn't account for the improvement in the sound of her singing voice - it was more than that.  Something had happened.  For one thing it was not "normal" sex.  Afterward she stated flatly that she could NOT going back to her husband after this and would now be staying at my place.  Although I enjoyed it, too, I didn't think it was worth breaking up a marriage (or the band) over so I only agreed to try some more "recording" together. 

As we fell into heavy petting at our private recording sessions, "in between takes", I began to try out some of the Kama sutra-like asanas I was learning, and her vocals kept getting better and better.  One day I decided to see if there was any connection and while she was singing, I began to play with her legs. When she stopped, thinking as usual that I wanted sex and recording was now on hold, I instead told her to keep singing.  Every time my fingers went inside her, her voice deepened and became more complex and rich sounding.  When I pushed this and went for a full response, massaging her "yoni" in several places at the same time, the effect doubled and when she was about to climax, doubled again.  There was no question there was a connection. We played the results for the band and they were amazed and excited about our new future, except the guitarist.  He

And they do not have to be my girlfriend!  Stay tuned.

Internet Workshop: Tantric Massage, Meditation and Hands-on Healing for Couples

International Internet Workshop: 
Tantric Massage, 
Meditation and 
Hands-on healing for couples 

 Led by Big Sur Tantric Masseur 
at our center in Los Angeles. 

This weekend workshop will include demonstrations of specific techniques including the Extended Yoni Massage and Couples Kama Sutra Yoga.
     Demonstrations will be followed by guided massage where couples will be shown the techniques as they follow along and practice them in their own treatment areas they have set up prior to the workshop.  We will work with every participant to put together the webcams they would like to use and create the environment conducive to their experience as they wish, so that everyone will be prepared and comfortable to embark on this work together which is very powerful and can be challenging, realizing we are never given challenges we cannot meet.  

      Note: Occasionally you will see the client, practitioner or both wearing tights during Tantric treatments. The use of these special tights can be instrumental in a client's healing treatment.  Please read this for a complete explanation as well as a description of the psychological aspects of Tantric Therapy.
       To our knowledge most of the techniques couples will learn aat the Internet workshops have never been presented before,except in our live workshops in Europe, including a technique that shows clearly where the body is blocked and life force energy is obstructed, which is used at the beginning of every session.  Reliably, it leads quickly to the discovery of the issue of the day and moves into the deeper, underlying material as further techniques are drawn from our quiver of hundreds of approaches learned from mastery of several body work techniques including Reichian Therapy, pranayama, Holotropic Breathwork, Trager, Rosen Method Bodywork and many others from rebirthing to gestalt therapy which the leader of the workshop learned from founder Fritz Perls.  But the beginning technique, which is only practiced in Original Tantric massage, is the one technique that accounts for the quick movement of every session to a place of conclusion and successful resolution of issues, with a clear direction for the next, if another treatment is needed.  This is the practice that also lead to other techniques that will be demonstrated, including the Extended Yoni Massage and Kama Sutra Tantric Yoga.

Included in the workshop will be several opportunities for interactive report backs where couples may demonstrate their progress during the weekend and have questions answered.  We are designing this workshop to be as close to the live workshops we have been leading the past ten years in Switzerland and although this Tantra is powerfully out of the ordinary it is also guaranteed that each couple will come away with the ability to transcend ordinary waking consciousness and move into higher realms, with their partners rather than in spite of them, as often happens in our daily lives and relationships, and the ability to merge their consciousness, creating a lasting bond.  It this effect that earned the Swiss workshops their nickname, "The Couples Glue", which sounds better in both French and Swiss German!  Couples on the verge of calling it quits after years of trying, walked away looking like young lovers, and couples who met at the workshops looked like they'd known each other all their lives.
     We are sure it is possible to achieve results as profound and life-changing using the Internet.  The treatments are so powerful that  several clients have received miraculous healings in recent years, including the total remission of chronic illnesses that had defied doctors for years.  As Wilhelm Reich, M.D., colleague of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, theorized at the turn of the century, "All healing, emotional and physical, requires the free and unimpeded flow of orgone energy (from the root, "orgasm")." 
     One-hundred years later, we are proving his theory regularly. The workshop will use multiple cameras for a better view of demonstrations than can be achieved at live workshops, especially of the energy flow and minute movements of the expanded yoni massage, which is impossible to show in its entirety as much of the massage takes place inside the vagina.  It is difficult to see, without being present live, the erotic energy vortex the treatments create and that are responsible for healing, but the feedback from individual webcams and the fact the energy is being developed and can be seen, the techniques followed precisely, assure that the home experience will be as powerful and the energy will be developed there as well.  Therefore couples need to expect that they will experience more powerful orgasms than they have previously experienced, and for this reason the workshops will be held on a secure server with no possibility of anyone hacking into the signal or receiving it unless they are registered for the conference. 

     Couples will have a chance to meet prior to the workshop since one of three requirements for successful tantric massage and treatments is actual safety as the body is exquisitely tuned to feel for whether it is truly safe and this is one sensitivity we teach as well.  The other two requirements are endless patience and the unconditional love that requires and that no personal agenda be brought to the session on the part of the healer.  There are other attributes that also help and that will be taught at the workshop, the main one being precise sensitivity both emotionally and physically so that your hands or whatever other part of your body is being used to massage and activate your mate, is tuned in to their needs fully and accepting as much information as possible, as well as communicating unconditional love, including unconditional eros.
     Professional tantric treatments create what can best be desribed as a "Love vortex" that almost always results in full-body multiple orgasms not just now and then but reliably in every session.  Couples can expect their own work will do the same at the workshops, even though they are not actually i the room with other couples or the leaders, where it is always part of the experience.  The use of cameras will help get you there and allow you to share your experience for others to learn from, as well as to see and learn from your skills and give you positive feedback about your work, including your desirability, which has no correlation to your physical beauty as defined by magazine covers, but in this work is always percevied positively, just as we regard any other of nature's flowers as it opens to the sun.  The cameras will also help you show any areas that need attention and lastly, though required to attend the workshop, there is no requirement to "perform" in any way on camera.  Furthermore they will be safe, and we are currently looking for an advisor who can help us set up software that allows couples to view and transmit video while choosing whether or not to allow the recording of their images. 
     A special feature of the Internet workshop, always popular at our European workshops, are report backs, where couples have a chance to demonstrate problems or successes in carrying out their Friday and Saturday night at-home assignments that we give individually, based on where they and the group are in their work.  These will be webcam reports and will be able to be presented on tape the next day or shown live to the group on their live webcam(s).   
     Also included will be guided massage, the cornerstone of the Swiss workshops and the key to a deeper understanding of how tantra can work for you and your mate.  With two cameras n our studio showing the demonstrations close-up, it will be even easier to follow and achieve powerful results than in the live workshops.  Guided meditations will also be more powerful with the imagery and music we have prepared but the most intensive, unique and powerful work will be the second day, when we introduce couples to Kama Sutra Yoga, which we developed in Switzerland over ten years working with couples learning and practicing the original and heretofore secret Tantra asanas and one by one integrating the sutras from the ancient Indian text, the Kama Sutra.  
     Although Original Tantra practice makes "breaks" between male orgasms unnecessary, the Internet workshop will allow for more frequent breaks than live workshops, adding even more of the all-important "Patience" necessary to achieve "Goddess Response"-quality orgasms and healing.    I personally proved the medical sexual experts wrong who say a man can only have one orgasm at a time.  Not with any preconceived intent, I attended one of Stan Grof's Holotropic Breathing workshops to find out what his work was like, since I had been told he was doing some of the same things that I was teaching.  At the workshop I met a doctor of psychology who I was attracted to and we decided to be partners at the workshop the next day, being each others' "sitters".  At a point during my breathing time - a few hours of breath of fire that puts you in an alternative consiousn state, I asked her to lie on top of me and proceeded to have an orgasm that lasted about 20 minutes.  I was told later that Dr. Grof watched the whole thing and I do remeber looking up to see him staring in disbelief wondering, I imagined, whether ot not to stop this outrageous display!  Dr. Stanislav Grof is the famous Czech psychiatrist who was the last to have a license to use LSD in his practice and when it was revoked, developed Holotropic Breathing as a substitute to acheive a similar alternate state of consciousness. 
     Like Dr. Grof's workshops, our advanced workshops do not need breaks and often we will go for an entire afternoon of six hours or m ore in constant alternative consiousness accompanied by multiple full body orgasms for one or both partners alternating (at our workshops, not at Holotropic workshops, since they are  not focussed on Tantra).
     But these first Internet workshops are designed for beginners aa well as advanced students, and will therefore benefit from the frequent breaks, important while learning this powerful form of spiritual and emotional development.  As you can read in other articles on this site, PATIENCE is perhaps the single most important requirement of this work.  Through patience, many of my female clients reach their first intensive full-body orgasm in seconds of beginning a treatment and some have even had orgasms that were the result of another phenomenon, contagion.  Orone energy is highly contagious and because I run so much of it in my body, from the age of sixteen I have had many clients and students who were surprised, some shocked, that they had orgasms upon touching me and today many new patients upon meeting me, experience their first powerful full-body orgasm during our first perfunctory social "hug", even though it is non sexual.

THE FUTURE

We are confident these workshops will be successful and are planning next year's Internet workshops to be "broadcast" live from cities close to this  year's participants' homes.  They will also be invited to participate in the planning and organization of their local workshops and will be offered the first choice of individual treatments both before and after the workshop.  Individual healing treatments are not for couples only, in fact, we rarely offer them to couples, but mostly to individuals. There will be eleven monthly workshops from July, 2011 to July 2012, with the exception of December and their location will depend to a large extent upon where this year's participants live.  However, because of our connections in these cities, there will probably be workshops in Zurich, Paris, London, New York, and Stockholm or Helsinki.  There will also be one or two in central and south America.
     If you are interested in being invited to attend the internet workshops or in organizing and sponsoring local workshops in your area, please send an email to Big Sur Tantric Masseur via this site.

Three Basic Requirements of the Tantric Hands-on Healer and Why We Resist Healing

One of the reasons this work "works" is that nothing is ever rushed. It is not because I have too much time on my hands that I ask patients and students to carve out enough time from their busy lives to have a minimum of four completely unencumbered hours for their session. Without that much time, at least, one of the most important requirements of this work cannot be met.

There are three basic requirements of a Tantric Hands-on Healer and they are born talents, the same as a musical virtuoso is born with his or her gift. Just like the virtuoso, these talents must be practiced, honed and mastered or they are just so much squandered potential.* They are: 1) Technical skill and mastery of many different modalities of body work (the Alexander Technique, Trager Mentastics, Rosen Method Body Work, Esalen Massage, Reichian Therapy, Watsu, Rebirthing, Gestalt Therapy, Primal Therapy, meditation, Kundalini Yoga, Holotropic Breathwork and Authentic, Original Tantra Yoga, which has been transmitted to very few people - I know of only 6) and a natural feel for how the body interprets and responds to language and movement; 2) Absolute personal integrity, self-knowledge and the kind of personal satisfaction, happiness and emotional freedom that enables the healer to allow his patients and students fully their own experience of healing and growth, bringing none of his own agenda, always intending and actively clearing himself in order to be the cleanest, widest, and deepest channel for healing energy possible, fully cognizant, attentive and responsive to every fleeting need of his patient's body, mind, emotions and spirit, as well as a clear channel for his guidance and The Creator to communicate with and heal his patient; and 3) The most important: Endless patience. The kind of utterly free and attentive patience that defines balance and inner peace and that I did not have, or have any way of accessing, until my infant son brought it to me from heaven the day he was born. I believe it is this absolute, utter patience that makes this work successful, that has resulted in the spontaneous remission of chronic illnesses that have defied medical science's attempt to cure them, then vanished during full-body orgasms, never to return again. It is Endless Patience that gives Tantric Hands-on Healing the "magical" feeling my patients and students describe.

So it may seem like a contradiction when I also ask them, once they make the decision to try this work, to make their appointment right away and keep it, without changing the date or time for any reason, "come hell or high water", even if they feel sick or get called for the audition of a lifetime. The reason is because of the power of the work itself and the body's amazing ability to sense when it is about to encounter major change, in the same way that a boulder thrown into a river downstream will send out concentric waves that rock a canoe before it has reached the site of the event. By the time my patients find me and Tantric Hands-on Healing, they have grown way past the concepts and philosophy of self-improvement and their spiritual journey. They are ready to bring the work into their bodies where they live. They are finally ready for life. Some look back on their progress at this point in their lives and see they've done little more than move from the bench to the sidelines. I get patients and students when they are motivated by some sort of reality check or wake up call. They may be down ten points with their backs on their own five yard line, knowing for a fact that it's over.

Win or lose, the pain of watching one more play from the sidelines is too painful to bear. They burn for the freedom they know is on the other side of that thin line in their appointment book, yet they fear it. They already know everything they are going to learn. They've heard all the words and most of the concepts. They know and their bodies can feel how life-affirming it is, how revolutionary in a very personal way. No longer content to live in their heads, they have already had the epiphany that the head is not where their happiness is, and they SO want happiness! In fact, they are inevitably in a corner they can't excuse themselves from. They are staring freedom in the face but cannot flee! Why? Why not? Opposite questions with the same answer. From now on when they flee, they have to take their body with them. They are now required to occupy fully their temple here on earth, where everything spiritual is physical and the myth they are opposites is revealed. Everything emotional, spiritual and physical happens in the body. So they have to go by the body's "playbook" and the body defines "happiness" with one simple, terrifying word: "Pleasure".

Why so firm, unbending, rigid about making that first appointment? Because the body knows everything I've just written. The body can feel it all as clearly as the born actor, ignored all his life, suddenly finds all eyes on him - as clearly as the gangly little girl, always awkward around men, suddenly finds them staring at her and, even more terrifying, knows what to say to them.

The body knows there is change afoot but only the brain knows the change is necessary. The body has been programmed for millenia to fear change because in the jungle and change as big as the one it is sensing at that appointment time, on that day, can only mean one thing: Death! Getting to that first appointment can - often does - literally feel like deat. I have seen bodies manifest full-on killer flu, complete with real vomiting, fever and chills, only to have all the symptoms disappear within minutes of arriving for their session!.

Because of the power of the work itself but also because my clients arrive so ready, it can take just a few sessions to fully manifest changes they originally sough, sometimes for years, and now whether they continue working at this level is fully optional.

Because of this, while teaching people to become ever more sensitive to their internal compass so they don't need a "guru" in their lives, so they can directly access heaven on their own, or in the company of lovers and friends, or under life and death conditions because we will all face those, it is not optional, I also have to occassionally remind them that the compass has not kept up with evolution and sometimes make rigid choices for them. One thing I always do is say what I am clearly and forcefully directed to say by their guidance or mine, no matter how uncomfortable it makes them or me. But interpreting primal signals in our modern world, where we are ambitiously taking back our power and tearing down the barriers to our own happiness that society's oppressors have erected because of their own fear or megalomania, often takes an outside eye because when we are in it, it is sometimes hard to see it.

We all face the task of interpreting primal signals in a modern world where the dangers are not the same as they were in the jungle. The body's response to any change, from centuries of natural selection, is to fear it because in primitive environments the odds were that such major change would be well - unhealthy! In fact, I have had clients experience instant remission of chronic illness just by identifying, working through, and releasing traumas from previous lifetimes during their Tantric body work.

So once the decision is made, it's best not to think about it. Take into account the body's natural tendency to resist change, knowing that at some point it could rebel openly. I don't have a complete explanation yet of why, but when faced with our core issues we feel like we are going to die - much the way people who suffer from panic attacks believe they are dying. It never ceases to amaze me that so many people manifest powerful reasons - viruses, complete with vomiting, fever and chills, I've seen this many times - at the moment they are scheduled to deal the final, killing blow to the demons they have been fighting for years, realizing the kind of success talk therapy is powerless to achieve, as Dr. Phil proves every day. No matter what the symptoms were or how powerful they seemed, they vanish within minutes of beginning their session. In Switzerland, I eventually had to add a day to our weekend workshops I was getting so many calls the day after the workshop from people who wanted to warn me that something was going around and had they heard from anyone else about this virus? I ended up driving from farmhouse to city apartment, spending ten minutes to set people back up on their feet after they had moved large amounts of material and phoned me from "death's door"! It is a real phenomenon that comes with this simple but powerful work we call Hands-on Tantric Healing.

She sent me an email asking about my work. It became clear after a few exchanges that she had done a lot of work reclaiming her own sexual power and even though she was quite young, was ready for this big step into the center of her own path. She already knew where it would lead her ~ into the jungles of Peru, on a journey through the Ayahuasca teachings pioneered for the west by my friend and collaborator, philosopher and author, Terence McKenna, lyricist for many of the songs from my album, Trance, who also attempted to translate into English his experiences in the extremes of consciousness. He died during the production of that album from brain cancer, fingers about to close around his Holy Grail, the purple liquid said to contain the entheogenic compound at the center of the last room in the ancient and mysterious mystery school that Jesus, Cleopatra and Cesar were all said to have attended. Whether or not attended by such famous students, archeologists and anthropologists agree that the schools really existed and that it was in the last room where you either emerged with the secret knowledge of the meaning of life, or you died. I was in the studio just before Chrsitmas, not having seen the sun for weeks, when I received a call from Terence saying he was in South America about to realize his life-long dream. He was about to finally lay eyes on the msyterious and jealously-guarded secret plant that produced the most powerful psychedelic substance (entheogen) ever known, that produced the priceless purple liquid they imbibed, hands trembling as they lifted the stopper out of the heavy, but tiny crystal bottle from its stone altar in the center of the final room, from which they might or might not emerge with the secret of life. Gina already had her ticket to Peru, so I hurried her through her "initiation" into the Tantric secrets that Yogi Bhajan entrusted to me and six other students just before he died. We did her session the Monday after but in order to speed things along so she could take in as much as possible, while minimizing the potential for trauma from opening so fast, I offered to show her my work and she surprised me later that night with her blog, which I was not expecting. It is the clearest writing I've seen about what I do, which my clients and students unanimously agree is impossible to put into words because the true reality from which it grows and is made manifest is so far beyond any concept that we have the vocabulary to express. It is like that trip to Helsinki in the dead of Winter, when the sun comes up for fourhours a day, to record with one of Finland's "national treasures" (she is actually a numbered treasure f the Finnish government, a composer and vocalist at the Sibelius Institute). When I presented Terence McKenna's lyrics for her to translate into Finnish, which was our language of choice for the project, we found that, "A terrifying integration of my consciousness into the sub-molecular fabric of the universe" could not be translated into the ancient tongue, which did not even have a word for "universe", the closest being "world".

Future entries in this column will include some of the things that Gina observed but chose not to describe not because they couldn't be, but in order to make it more acceptable to a wider internet audience, but that explain exactly how my client came to experience three powerful orgasms during the session she observed, eliciting the silent cheering she describes. She also did not include her insistence, after observing how it is possible to light up a darkened room with highly-charged orgone energy for two straight hours, that she left that night only after she had acquired for herself the very next appointment where she also found herself hurtling toward unbridled orgasm. Here is the link to her blog, which this blog is about: http://lifeissexual.blogspot.com
