The experience was, for lack of a better word, wonderful. I have learned so much. The concept of accepting a situation for what it is- reinforced by the last sentance of the poem every Thursday night: "and so it is" just reverberates positively in my mind. I have learned technique for connecting with women, and men; thru heart and spirit. I have discovered that this is part of my personal journey. And, if nothing else, the breathing and meditation exercises were well worth the time and money by themselves. Thanks so much, Hugs, Glenn Hey Steven,

In our society, we seem to want instant results, but the advice the genie gave Aladin still applies--"Be careful what you wish for, you may get it" implying that we should think things through and we should start by accepting things as they are. I had to do this before I was eleven. It doesn't mean we can't act, just that we should be aware of all the possibilities that may result. We can't control the wants of others, nor can we control many of their perceptions; we just have to let them know we still care and will care if they come back to us, no matter how scarred and weary they might be or happy to see and share any success they might experience--we're there for them, and for ourselves too. Great reading, very inspiring, and an excellent reminder. “Look before you leap” and “Haste makes waste” are two old sayings which come to mind from reading this.

]]> Comment on Tantra and the Art of Celibacy by Susan http://www.sixgateways.com/blog/tantra_celibacy.htm/comment-page-1#comment-193 Susan Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:02:29 +0000 http://www.yabyummy.com/blog/tantra_celibacy.htm#comment-193 WOW!!! Kypris, We haven't seen each other in a long time, nor do I practice with your community, however, I have a strong interest in exploring tantra and have been afraid to start coming to experience with you. My relationships with men, now, have gratefully become the most healthy I've ever experienced in my life. Frankly, I haven't wanted to come experience tantra classes without a partner I love deeply, and have felt uncomfortable considering being in an environment where people are so focus on sexual pleasure without someone I love to come with me. I am starting to realize that it IS possible for me to practice tantra on my own if I want to. I have recently lost the romanticism I had with a very special man who I truly care for and had the most amazing sexual experience with, like none other. Right now I can't imagine being with anyone else, though I know that will change when I am truly healed from this loss of being so naturally committed solely to him. He was celibate for several years before me, and now I have come to realize that I need to practice this for some time. I feel that abstaining has to do with respecting the intuitive body, choosing to abstain when knowing something is out of balance with a partner, and quite honestly, though it may change for me, I would rather be in agreement with someone about our love and commitment to one another before having intercourse. It seems to be the highest form of respect for my body, for me personally, to live that way. In other words...I have never been abe to have a one night stand or meaningless sexual contact, ever. Something will physically not allow me to go past certain thresholds with whomever. I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your commitment to your self and sharing. I have deleted so many of your newsletters sometimes with or without even glancing at them, and simply the word "celibacy" is what struck me that I absolutely had to read it that moment. I am so proud of you for having the courage to challenge yourself with celibacy, especially given that you are so sexually knoweldgeable and experienced. I honestly believe that by doing so- you are balancing abstainence with the sexual experience in a way that will truly serve your community in a broader, more expansive way. I feel like I can truly respect all of your efforts knowing that it's not just about spiritual/sexual gratification. I feel like because you are leading from the heart I can trust that if I choose to come to a class you will understand me...my fears, hopes, desires, and True Self more than I had considered before.

So many don't want to consider this path and yet, it can be so opening. Personally, I spent 1 year celibate and found it to be a most enlightening way of getting in touch with my own sexuality.

It's nice to hear a woman speak in such depth about the various elements you have touched on here... furthers my insights about women's sexuality. Come to think of it, I'd be interested in hearing more of similar insights and inner tensions, etc. from some men. I've plumbed "the depths" with both women and men on most other subjects, but was just realizing that I've not done so very much on sexuality, especially with men (conversationally, or on a blog, etc.). I know I could probably find good discussions somewhere on the net, but it would be especially of interest to have some with men I've met in the local tantra community.

My experience with celibacy was an intentional 13 weeks. Some traditions practice 13 months....the quantity of time of gestation to birth, lunar year cylcle and the birthing of our lovers' inner child. I found 13 weeks was just as powerful maybe due this time of higher frequency vibrations. Thank you for your courage and sharing, Sister. Love, Lisa Beautiful, Kypris.

I've felt such an increase of sexual energy in my life, and have really benefited from my deeper connection to Spirit.
