IRB Media Summary of Diana Richardson's Heart of Tantric Sex

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Sex is the most significant aspect of our lives. It is the source of a great deal of pain and pleasure, comfort and discomfort, happiness and unhappiness, ecstasies and agonies. It is what each of us truly longs for: to love and to be loved.#2 Sex is a powerful force, and we cannot contain it. We can only learn to channel it in the most intelligent and uplifting ways. Love and sex are not in a satisfactory state for most people. Sex does not deeply fulfill us, and it does not have the power to take us beyond the pressures or limitations of our day-to-day life.#3 To find the depth of sexual satisfaction we seek, we must start bringing intelligence into our view of sex. We must look at it from a different perspective. We must consider sex beyond reproduction or immediate physical pleasure and gratification.#4 The secret of Tantra is to retain sexual energy within the body instead of releasing it in orgasm or ejaculation. It is then re-circulated and nourishes the master glands in the body, which have a profound influence on health.
