Quotes
"Both sex and meditation allow awareness of the flow of energy throughout the body. Why do we work on our mental and emotional health? Because the healthier we are, the happier we are, and the more room we have in our consciousness for compassion, empathy, and love for ourselves and others. Or, at the very least, remain as functional as possible, given our triggers. The result is loving behaviors which are very attractive to our current and future love mates. They will be attracted, and will continue to be attracted. Your radiance attracts, and leads to an abundance of love relationships."
Seva Kenn
"Touch is the vehicle through which we comfort one another or are comforted, via hugs or clasps of the hands."
14th Dalai Lama
"It's all a story anyway, so make up some good stuff!"
Cheryl Good
"In Tantra, sex is not an action. It is not one more thing humans do. Sex is an energy that exists on its own. All you have to do is notice it and it will start to move. But what exactly is sexual energy? Is it the feeling you get in your genitals when you're aroused? Is it the sexual desire you feel for someone? Is it the warm, loving feeling you have for your beloved?"
"The first step toward getting in touch with your sexual energy is to actually feel that energy. Sexual energy is an actual physical energy, not jut a desire, a thought, or emotion. Let me show you what i mean. Try this: Rub your hands together. There isn't any difference between sexual energy and creative energy, or between sexual energy and going-to-work energy. It's all life force energy. There is nothing mysterious about moving sexual energy around the body-yours or someone else's. Anybody can do it."
"The intention is not to leave the body, but to drop into the body more deeply and completely."
Barbara Carrellas, "Urban Tantra"
"The reason honest communication works so well as a growth path is that most of the time, when you go deeply and patiently into an experience, feeling it fully without escaping into a control pattern, it changes! I'm not kidding. The way out is to go deeply in."
"You are most lovable when you are most transparent."
