You Asked for it....
While it is true that we always teach what we most need to learn, (and I'm famous for leading workshops on the subjects I'm most personally interested in,) I have also been listening to what YOU need. It's what the San Diego Tantra Community longs for...

What is Tantra, Anyway?
The intention of this chapter is to paint a big picture in broad strokes of the scope of modern Western Tantra, to de-mystify the often confusing path of Sacred Sexuality.

God-Goddess Within
The following pages are an initiation into Shamanic practices of embracing your inner masculine and inner feminine. Gods and Goddesses are self-sufficient — we don’t depend on anyone else for our power and pleasure. You are your own other half — don’t let a partner, or lack of one, prevent you from experiencing the magic and love that is within.

The Sacred Path of Poly
This chapter is dedicated to anyone willing to explore a variety of new perspectives and possibilities in regards to responsible relationship. Since there is a marked lack of support and resources for people practicing non-monogamous alternatives, we offer our personal experiences, new definitions, and a road map for common challenges.
To begin, ask yourself if the way you do relationship is working. Does it serve you? Are you fulfilled? If so, excellent! If not, here are some ideas to contemplate, explore and even emulate.

Dear Diary
I started journaling at age 12. Like Anne Frank, I was too young to worry whether I was doing it right or wrong. I felt this daily practice put me in the company of important journal keepers like Benjamin Franklin, Carl Jung, and of course Elvis. Through the years, my journal morphed into many things: A friend, a mirror, a teacher and an excuse to sit alone at a romantic cafe.

What Is Tantra, Anyway?
I performed three public interviews last month, all of which kicked off with the same question: What is tantra? After ten years of studying, practicing and teaching tantra, I'm still pondering the same question. It's like that Zen koan: What's the sound of one hand clapping? But with the question of tantra, people tend to accept partial answers which lead to the common assumption that tantra must be some kind of sexual yoga. Isn't it?

Manifest with Sex Magic
The Secret Beyond the Secret by Kamala Devi
Small bands of people, cults and priestesses throughout history have guarded sacred wisdom, too powerful for the mainstream. The most secret of these teachings involve the magical power of sexuality. A mainstream movie recently swept the best seller lists because of it’s willingness to expose and explain “the secret” of manifestation. Though masterfully marketed, the wisdom in this movie is nothing new. Nor does it reveal the most guarded of these secrets.

A Tantric Birth
It's impossible to describe a birth contraction to someone who's never had one. The closest thing I could compare it to is an orgasm, except instead of producing pleasure, the sensation is anywhere between a light fluttering and an excruciating seizure that lasts from 20 seconds to a couple of minutes....
Time Management for Turkeys
Start with a bucket, enough big rocks to fill it, some
marbles, some sand, and water.
1. Put the big rocks in the bucket - is it full?
2. Put the marbles in around the big rocks - is it full?
3. Put the sand in and give it a shake - is it full?
4. Put the water in. Now it's full.
The point is:

Postcard from Paradise:
We had no idea what we were getting into until the first night when the island cast a spell on us. Bali's magic is indescribable, but if I were to compare it to something, I'd say it's as beautiful as Hawaii, as spiritual as India, and as friendly, inexpensive and easy to travel as my favorite travel destination: Thailand. Just imagine...

Who do you think you are?
Do you know who you are? Not just who you THINK you are, but who you REALLY are? Enlightened masters ask us to meditate on such things. My Spiritual teacher is on tour from Australia and will be offering an Enlightenment Intensive retreat in San Diego soon. Aside from my current pregnancy, this is perhaps the most life-changing event I've ever engaged in. Having introduced dozens of people to the technique, I understand however, that this retreat is NOT for everyone.

Many paths to One Love
A common question for people just starting their tantra yoga practice is: Do I have to have a partner? If they already have a partner, they often ask: Can I stay with them or do I have to practice with other people?

Amma - The Hugging Saint!
Every overhead phone pole and palm tree is plastered with a poster of a dark, round woman, with a sweet smile and glowing halo. In some images, she’s even walking on water. She is known across the planet as the ‘Hugging Saint.’ The local posters read: ‘Mata Amritanada Maya Math.’ Her disciples call her ‘Amma.’

Heart Broken Open
Spontaneous tears, shuddering, and laughter are evidence of the true Self overflowing in the human body, which is generally not able to contain the full glory of the Jiva (the self). We are consciousness, bliss absolute, and when we experience identities, emotions, and phenomena, it is just a fraction of this absolute...

Spiritual Channel Surfing
During a late-night dinner party, my college roommate suggested we hold a séance to talk to Elvis. The commercial ouija board (made by Parker Brothers) didn’t seem so intimidating, until we lit a few candles and it kept answering “No” to every question. When we asked the entity it’s name, it rapidly spelled out ZYGOTE and a chill gust of wind blew out the candles and ended our game. Less than two months later my roommate discovered she was pregnant.

Tips on Good Karma
You walk into your favorite coffee shop and notice a jar on the counter that reads: “Tipping is Good Karma.” Does this inspire you to turn away, or reach deeper into your pocket book, in hopes of getting greater gratuity yourself? I invite you to stop and ponder: What is Karma? And what forces govern this law?

Synchronicity Simplified.
It seems the more I raise my consciousness, the more my

places and events coincide to bring messages about the path

Carl G. Jung coined the term synchronicity and explained it as a principle by which...

Ommm Sweet Ommm
The Definition of Om: The supreme and most sacred syllable in Sankskrit. It is believed to be the original primordial vibration of the universe, after the big bang. It is uttered as a mantra and in affirmations and blessings to connect all living beings. Made of the three sounds (a), (u), and (m), representing various fundamental triads:

The REAL meaning of Namaste
In one tantric myth it is said that the great lover god, Krishna made away with the clothes of unmarried teen-age maidens, who were bathing in the river Yamuna. Their fervent pleading didn’t sway him. Only when they performed the eternal gesture of Namaste, out of total devotion, did he agree to hand back their garments so that they could recover their modesty.
