			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow.  Over the last several months my business has been growing at an accelerated speed and through this I have learned so much about the relationship between being busy and being a woman.</p>
<p>Basically, I noticed that with large doses of tasks, responsibilities, deadlines and hours staring at the computer screen… it is really difficult for me to feel like a natural, vibrant, alive, sensual woman.  It is difficult for me to remember to take time to nourish and care for myself and even more difficult for me to consider my relationship.  After all, cuddling wasn’t on my ‘to do’ list and it is definitely not getting me any closer to my ‘daily goals’.  YIKES!</p>
<p>I also noticed that while in many ways I have become more confident as I come into my own, I have developed a bit of an ‘uppity’ edge when chatting with my sweetheart lately.  And not only that, but I have been seriously dumping piles of ‘I have been working all day and I need to download everything to you because I can’t hold it all inside of me’ onto him…. oh dear.</p>
<p>Somehow in the middle of adjusting to this new me who has been carrying around my business like a tail everywhere I go, I managed to notice that for months my beloved has been complaining of back pain and I have done absolutely nothing to support him.</p>
<p>I, who have studied therapeutic Yoga, reiki healing and generally is simply an expert with loving touch, have not stepped forward to show up and support my man in a simple way that could truly help his quality of life.  What have I been thinking?</p>
<p>So, I made a choice.  An effortless one really because it is so rewarding and easy.  I have chosen to wake with my love and give him a therapeutic yoga massage every morning before he goes to work for at least the next 21 days.</p>
<p>This covers so many bases, more than anything it gives me an opportunity to spend some time loving him that is not about unloading, talking, sharing, or even sex-ing.</p>
<p>… I hope you are paying attention, because that was important.  How much time are you devoting to loving?  Yourself, your love, your family?  What else is there that could possibly be more important?</p>
<p>It has only been two days and already magical things have opened up between us.  On day one we made eye contact while I stretched his leg and I suddenly saw my love, I saw the love that is inside of me reflected in his eyes, I saw the love that we share with one another, I forgot about my ‘to do’ list.</p>
<p>I invite you to join me in a 21 day commitment to love.  What does that look like for you?  What is something simple that you can do to more fully experience the love in yourself and in your relationships?</p>
<p>in love,</p>
<p>Charu</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A Mythical True Story from February 2007&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>I feel like much of my life I had been waiting at the platform, waiting, waiting for the train to arrive. People would see me standing there and they would laugh at me, or comment amongst themselves how glad they were that it was not they who stood and waited. Some with kindness in their hearts even tapped me on the shoulder and told me stories of how there was no train and I should drop it and come inside where it is warm, they brought me sandwiches and an umbrella when it rained&#8230; shaking their heads as they watched the foolish girl at this lonely abandoned station.  They did whatever they could to &#8216;talk some sense into that girl&#8217;&#8230;.but still I waited.</p>
<p>I had a feeling that the train was there all along, but somehow I had lost my eyes to see it&#8230;and so I waited.</p>
<p>One day the train arrived! Whoopie! It rolled to a stop and the conductor looked at me; warm, loving, open&#8230;even so he was stern with me, &#8216;do you know what it means to get on this train young lady?&#8217;<br />
&#8216;yes! I&#8217;ve been waiting my whole life, and now you&#8217;ve come! I am ready! I will do ANYTHING! I am so grateful that you have come for me!&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Do you understand that there is no more pretending?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Yes, yes, I&#8217;ve been longing for this&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Do you understand that once you get on you cannot get off?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;There is nothing you can say that could deter me from this ride&#8217;, said I.</p>
<p>and at that he helped me on board with a smile and a wink.</p>
<p>Happily I travelled on the truth train, managing to stay on board as it bucked and swayed and made me aware of the edges I had come to trust.</p>
<p>Until one day, quite recently, I met a man and I felt like a woman. And I tasted such sweetness, and I felt happy.</p>
<p>I tapped the conductor on the shoulder, &#8220;excuse me sir, I think this is my stop.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;young lady, did I not tell you when we first pulled up to your station that there are no stops on this ride?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;yes, but&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>He looked at me all at once stern and endlessly loving and I remembered.  I remembered what I had agreed to when I boarded the train, I knew that there was no stopping and no turning back.  I also knew that theirein lies the bliss&#8230;I had boarded this train in search of a sensation beyond my preference of happy or sad, I had boarded this train for truth and I shall stop at nothing less.</p>
<p>I know that it is that very longing for truth that led me to this relating with man, and I know that this loving is far more profound than my fondness for happiness, this loving has the potential to show me all sides of myself, this loving has the potential to point me toward the deepest truth, the reason I boarded the train, the memory that I AM LOVE.</p>
<p>And as I stumble along bumping into so many aspects of myself that I would rather not see in my attempts to be the perfect partner, lover, and beloved&#8230;some part of me sits in the knowing that the love that I am is far greater than the drama that I play with.</p>
<p>The conductor watches me as I struggle, I feel him loving me and yet he does not come to save me from myself&#8230;he just holds me on this train and reminds me who I am.</p>
<p>And so bring it on!  I say&#8230;.I am ready for more than the shallow happiness that I have settled for, holding on to my visions of perfection at the expense of what is happening here and now.  I am staying on this train, I am taking it all the way home.  I know there is more to this life, to the love between man and woman and I refuse to stay safe.  I vow to die to my illusions and emerge in this love.<a href="http://charu.zaadz.com/blog/"><br />

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">Revelations while Shaking Free:</span></p>
<p>I came home from work feeling frustrated and heavy.  This happens often for me as I have a difficult time sitting at a desk for 9 hours or so a day with very little physical movement and staring at a computer.  I find this to be a very violent state to have to live in day in and day out.  Furthermore, I am a bit of an emotional sponge so all the misdirected traumas and heaviness and abandoned emotions floating around in the ethers seem to flock toward me in search of some sort of refuge.  On top of all of this I am not yet living the life I have envisioned for myself (although I am definitely on that path).<span> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">In the past when I would feel this state, which is often, I wouldn&#8217;t really know what to do with it and would typically numb it with some sort of substance or distraction, food, alcohol, weed, men, etc.    On this particular evening I decided to sit with it for a bit and see what came up.<span> </span>I went into my room and turned on some relaxing music, lit a candle and sat down.<span> </span>That’s when I remembered the Tantric shaking exercise that Charu reminded me (and other women) of in the recent teleseminar I listened in on.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">I recalled the instructions as this, set a timer for a specific amount of time, plant your feet in the earth, rest your jaw and your neck and shake as you need until the timer rings.<span> </span>Afterwords, be sure to take time to integrate the meditation and the movement that has just happened in your body for an equal amount of time.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">So I did just that!<span> </span>Now I’ve never done this exercise alone before so I was mindful to be sure to hold space for myself and be present and mindful with whatever came up!<span> </span>As I began to shake I would vacillate between being too much in my head and going with the sensations taking place inside my body.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">The more I felt into those sensations and allowed them to shake my body the less in my head I was.<span> </span>And it was an incredibly powerful experience!<span> </span>And on it went my body shaking and deep grunts and howls coming from inside my womb.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">Because I am currently living and working in the West Bank, Palestine I have been intimately up close with many of the horrors that human beings can inflict upon each other.<span> </span>Being Palestinian myself it has been such a personal experience and deeply painful one that often makes me want to jump right out of my skin.<span> </span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">Needless to say it has been a difficult experience to digest and process.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">While doing this exercise many revelations came to me.<span> </span>I found myself growling and grring like an animal and twisting my face fiercely.<span> </span>And all I could think when I was doing this was that I was somehow affirming life by facing some of the horrors of life.<span> </span>And like a mother protecting her children I was showing this anti-life energy that I was a force to be reckoned with and that energy could not play itself out in my body.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">I was also noticing that the deep guttural sounds coming from me were originating from my womb.<span> </span>Suddenly my womb felt very heavy and full of pain yet this made sense to me since the womb is literally a sort of cave that is receptive to things.<span> </span>And the deeper I went into my womb and released these sounds the more turned on and alive I felt.<span> </span>I think I actually got wet from this and was acutely aware of the pain I have been storing there and how closely it seemed to resemble pleasure as I allowed myself to touch and feel it.<span> </span>I felt like I was on the verge of having an orgasm.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">I also realized that in many ways I have been using sex as a way to access this pain.<span> </span>It is like in some way the act of a man being inside of me is how I can be inside the heart of this pain vicariously through this person.<span> </span>And in the past this was the only way I could “safely” access this pain because I’ve been taught growing up that as a woman I need a man to feel safe in the world.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">Then the timer rang and it was time to relax into these integrations.<span> </span>I took my time going to lie down on the ground and paced around a bit before I laid on my stomach to do a kundalini yoga meditation technique that clears your arc line.<span> </span>Your arc line is a column running down the center of your body.<span> </span>For a woman she retains subtle imprints of every single man she has been intimate with in her arc line.<span> </span>The reasoning for this on a subtle energetic level is if a man were to die after impregnating a woman then the child would know who his father is.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">During the meditation I was able to completely relax in a way that is typically very difficult for me.<span> </span>After the timer rang I again took my time before getting up acting as if I had all the time in the world.<span> </span>I felt in such a state of buoyancy and bliss and truly felt like a completely new and different person than I was just 30 minutes ago. </span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">It was profound and penetrating especially being in this part of the world where shame is rampant and sex is taboo.  It is amazing to me that tantra can continue to work and unfold its lessons within me even when I feel so far away from not just regular workshops but any sort of acceptance of this sort of healing.  I came out of this exercise feeling powerful and willing to continue to do this sort of work. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My Story of Re-Sensitizing my Vagina:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I was one of those women who, once I figured out how to have a clitoral orgasm (not until I was about 14 AND it was my boyfriend who encouraged me to touch myself…I said, ‘no, it will only feel good to me if you touch me’… where did I get that idea?)  Once I did figure out how to pleasure myself and how fucking great it was, I practically made a career out of it.  Thus, it was very easy for me to experience orgasm via my clitoris.</p>
<p>Up until about 4 years ago when my beloved and I got together, I had rarely, if ever, experienced vaginal orgasm, although I had begun to experience ‘full body orgasm’ through my Tantra practice without any stimulation from outside of me at all, simply from practicing the simplest meditations.</p>
<p>So, I was beginning to explore my body in new ways and I was curious and confused about why I was not very sensitive on the inside of my vagina.</p>
<p>When I got together with my love, I told him, ‘let’s try something new, I would like you to steer clear of my clitoris and I will too…I want to see what else I am feeling when you are making love with me’.  This was a great decision and we did it for more than a year.</p>
<p>What opened up inside of me was amazing.  I began to become more and more aware of the sensations in my vagina and within days…literally (now remember, I already had a developed Tantra practice, I was ripe for this) I was experiencing vaginal orgasm in many different ways.  As time went on, I began to experience waves of orgasm almost throughout the duration of our lovemaking, I learned how to relax into the waves until I was able to drop into TOTAL presence.  A feeling as if I was sitting in the bindu (center) point of orgasm, orgasm was expansive and never-ending rather than intense and explosive.  I also began to become so sensitive to him, and him to me, that I could feel and ride the waves of orgasm within his body, I even began to experience orgasm the moment he entered me, a wash of union… and this feeling would run through his body and mine together.</p>
<p>Now, that I have become more sensitive to all of the sensations, I bring in my clitoris when it feels right.  It is far less often than before and in many ways less interesting.  I share this with you because what I have discovered is AMAZING and possible for every woman.  The best part is that I don’t for a moment believe that I have discovered everything.  I continue to expand and I can’t wait to discover even more of what is possible in my own body and with my beloved.</p>
<p>Diana Richardson speaks at length about re-sensitizing in her book, ‘Tantric Orgasm for Women’. This book was a huge part of me learning to trust the natural intuitions that I had, even though many of them were in direct conflict with what I had learned through cosmopolitan magazine and how I had come to define myself sexually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So much of how we are showing up sexually has been implanted by ideas from our friends, magazines, society.  So little of it is coming from within.  In fact, most of us have no idea how we would behave sexually if we had not been guided by these external forces.  Everything from the idea of what an orgasm should look like, to how often we should have them, to what our lover should do to give them to us, to how big or hard their penis should be or what is the best shape for her breasts.</p>
<p>What I have found is that actually what I have truly been craving sexually, what some small part of me deep inside has been calling for, was actually almost completely different than what I <em>thought</em> I wanted and how I was operating sexually.</p>
<p>For example, I used to be very attached to my explosive clitoral orgasm and I would often get into patterns with the men I was with where I would basically demand that they go down on me and bring me to an orgasm before I took them inside of me.  It was always ‘my turn first’ as it were, and I considered myself to be lucky to have partners who were willing to &#8216;make sure that I was satisfied&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p>As I began to become more in tune with the messages in my body, that began to feel less authentic and I found myself opening up in different ways… I even noticed when I did follow that old pattern, I would become wet, but in some ways my vagina would be tight when I took my lover inside of me, rather than warm and open and receptive.  I noticed that it was when my lover paid attention to my breasts that my vagina would actually become totally receptive so that when I did take him inside of me, I was sensitive to him and I felt like I was inviting him in to a rich landscape.  My vagina would become so sensitive in fact, that I ultimately became orgasmic from the moment he entered my body.</p>
<p>This was a huge shift and it came not only from allowing myself to listen to the messages of my body, but also from giving myself permission to do it differently.  The book <a href="http://embodytantra.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1126052" target="_blank"><em>Tantric Orgasm for Women</em></a> played a huge part in me discovering that I was not alone in this and reading it helped me to give myself permission to try things radically differently and say &#8216;yes&#8217; to the voice inside of me.</p>
<p>Again, it is when we begin to truly connect within that we are able to hear these messages that we have overridden for most of our lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has become clear to me that no matter what the exact issue that brings a client through my door, everyone is grasping for the secret to having a deeply fulfilling experience in lovemaking.</p>
<p>People often want to believe or are searching out a technique that, once learned will finally satisfy their partner and transform their experience.</p>
<p>&#8230;and there are some techniques out there that are interesting and worth exploring, but the big secret is that great sex does not come from learning something you can &#8216;do&#8217; differently.  It comes from how intimate you are with yourself.</p>
<p>Our culture has little tolerance for dedicating any time or energy to fully experiencing our bodies because we have become so result oriented.  God forbid we step away from our computer and the possibility of accomplishing one more thing, in order to nourish ourselves!</p>
<p>If we do take the time to nourish ourselves, it comes in the form of a spa treatment, a nice meal out, a ball-game, a Yoga class, etc.  And all of these things are WONDERFUL!  But how many of them really turn you on?  I mean how much of your life touches you in your sex?  Seriously, take a moment to think about it.  When you are not engaged in having sex what percentage of your life are you experiencing the wholeness of yourself including your sexuality?</p>
<p>&#8230;I thought so.  Way too little.</p>
<p>The worst part is that we have almost no experience of the potential of our bodies, no relationship to our own sexuality (other than a few goal-oriented masturbation sessions), and yet, we expect our partner to be able to satisfy us and take us to new heights&#8230; and if they can&#8217;t, we whisper about it to our friends and long for our partner to change.</p>
<p>The good news is that getting in touch with your body and your sexuality is EASY.  Yes, it is.  Whew!  All it takes is a curiosity, an investment in those possibilities that you feel within you, but often don&#8217;t listen to.</p>
<p><strong>Try this:</strong></p>
<p>Take the time for a walk in the park or on the beach, while you are there, take a moment to pause and be silent.  Allow yourself to notice what you feel through each sense in your body.  What do you smell?  How does the air feel when it touches your skin?  What colors and shapes do you see?  Sounds do you hear?  Allow yourself to truly absorb all of the sensations of the moment and through this begin to discover something new inside yourself and your relationship to all things.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;All around you, in every moment, The world is offering a feast for your senses.  Songs are playing, tasty food is on the table, Fragrances are in the air, Colors fill the eyes with light.</p>
<p>You who long for union, Attend this banquet with loving focus.  The outer and the inner worlds open to each other&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>~Vighyan Bhirav Tantra as translated by Lorin Roche Ph.D. <span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lorinroche.com/" target="_blank"><span>http://lorinroche.com/</span></a></span></p></blockquote>
<p>It is so simple that it is almost deceptive because we are not accustomed to allowing life to be simple.</p>
<p>And it is from this place of truly feeling ourselves in a new way, and coming into intimate contact with the world within and without that the great secret to lovemaking is revealed: <strong>attunement</strong>.</p>
<p>Yup.  No special technique, no following steps 1,2,3 and boom!  As you become more intimate with yourself you will naturally become more intimate with the world.  As you become more intimate with the world you will begin to notice how to simply allow yourself to come into an attunement with this moment in your body.  As you attune to the moment, you become more sensitive to, and can easily attune to your partner.  It is from this place that true lovemaking happens.</p>
<p>As you become more and more sensitive, you will even begin to &#8216;hear&#8217; what your partners body is telling you.  A longing for a caress here, an invitation for a deeper more vigorous movement, a call to slow down, and so on.  You become one of those rare people that you have heard of in the myths that friends have told you about that past lover who just magically knew what to do, how to touch and who drove them wild.</p>
<p>You can only become aware of these responses in your partner, you can only come into this level of attunement when you have an intimate relationship with yourself.</p>
<p>In many ways you will practice this attunement in every moment of your life.  Life becomes your greatest lover, even just the breath moving in and out of the body is recognized as the sweet pleasure that it is, and sharing with another human being is a delicious expression of this loving.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have said it before, and I will say it again&#8230; the bodies have a language of their own.  Most of us have stopped listening when our bodies talk and because of that we have suffered.  We have suffered because we have isolated ourselves, not only from each other, but most importantly from ourselves.</p>
<p>The other day my man and I were making love and he paused, as he often does, and rested inside of me.  With him resting inside my body I began to receive information from his body into mine.  An entire symphony of information.  It felt like a blooming, it began from his penis and then spread out through my body&#8230; reaching to the top of my scull and the tips of my toes, pressing against the inside of my skin to the outer edges of me.</p>
<p>He began to move again and it was as though the information withdrew or pulled back as he pulled back to thrust into me.  It was startling and unsettling.  As he continued to move gently in and out of me I noticed that I was consistently experiencing this unsettled sensation of trying to receive the information, but not being able to &#8216;pin it down&#8217; or absorb it.  Fascinating.</p>
<p>Now, I there are other times when he is moving and I can fully receive what his body is sharing with me, and other languages where I can feel the building of fullness with the intense movement&#8230; moments where the way that he is penetrating me feels almost blinding and that feeling of losing control is profound in its own way&#8230;</p>
<p>And yet, this experience, which I have often had, of longing for him to stay still so I could drink in this deep knowledge of my man, inspired me to share with the world how important these moments of pause can be.</p>
<p>Many of us are caught in a habitual loop of feeling that we always have to &#8216;do&#8217; something in lovemaking.  That there is some great technique that will wow our lover and make them love and approve of us or satisfy them beyond belief.  And sometimes within that we are missing the simple magic.  We are railroading over the very connection that we so long for, the connection that nourishes and enlivens.  The connection where two human beings actually enter into a union and open to one another.  Perhaps open and share in a way that is not possible with words or in daily interactions (as we know them).</p>
<p>So, I would like to invite you all to explore the stillness.  Allow it to teach you about what is possible between two bodies as it re-sensitizes you to the moment.</p>
<p>Men ~ it is important to understand that I have just exposed a valuable secret to lasting longer in bed&#8230; when/if you feel you are moving toward ejaculation and you would like to postpone it&#8230; don&#8217;t leave your woman by thinking of baseball or whatever techniques you have created to repress the energy.  Simply allow your body to relax, be still.  Yes, your erection may shift and change while you are still, you may not be as hard as when you are thrusting&#8230; this is okay.</p>
<p>Take this time to look your woman in the eyes, caress her body and allow yourself and her to simply relish in the connection between the two bodies.  When and if it feels right to move again you can, as the bond between you has ripened you may notice a new richness as you move inside of her.  You may even notice that your penis is more sensitive to what her body is truly longing for.  Within lovemaking you can pause as many times as you like and you may even choose to experiment with completing your lovemaking this way, simply allowing the charge you have built from moving the bodies to nourish you rather than ending with a big explosion.</p>
<p>There is no &#8216;right&#8217; way to make love.  Explosions are wonderful, fucking is wonderful&#8230; and now you can begin to explore this concept of stillness and see what the process reveals to you about lovemaking and the possibilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FREE Teleclass for Women<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">When: Friday, July 10th 1pm PST/ 2pm MST/ 4pm EST</span></p>
<p><em>How to Unlock Your Potential for Pleasure OVERNIGHT and Re-discover Richness &amp; Passion in Your Relationship to Yourself, Your Loved Ones &amp; Your Life!</em></p>
<p>As many of you know, I have dedicated my life to the study and practice of Tantra. I have seen the Tantric practices simply, almost magically transform the lives and relationships of many, many people. You will learn the tools that have been practiced for thousands of years to simply and effectively tune into the deep wisdom of the body and effortlessly allow that wisdom to become a guiding force in your life.<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />
On the 75-minute call, you’ll discover:</span></p>
<p>* <span style="font-weight:bold;">The exact tools you can use immediately to clear blocks in your body and awaken a flow of orgasmic energy accessible to you in EVERY moment</span>….in just one Tantra session I have seen these tools; save couples relationships, free women from pain or numbness during intercourse, shift body-image issues, and literally awaken the beauty in every woman I have shared them with.</p>
<p>* How these practices will <span style="font-weight:bold;">easily break through deep-rooted habitual patterns</span> – in a way that will integrate shifts and changes into your life immediately – something that many therapists &amp; healers are unaware of</p>
<p>* How to <span style="font-weight:bold;">uncover an inner wisdom that has been all but lost in our modern culture</span>. Yes, right now you have untapped information you aren’t even aware of…After this call, you’ll know what reveals this wisdom and how to live with ease, heal your body and have better sex by ‘tuning in’ to it.</p>
<p>* How to <span style="font-weight:bold;">move beyond your limited experience of pleasure</span>. Even if you are sexually savvy or you are having great sex, what is possible within your body is rarely understood or experienced in our modern times</p>
<p>* The very best part of unlocking your potential for pleasure has very little to do with the great sex you will be having- that is the gravy – <span style="font-weight:bold;">the best part is the fulfillment, the confidence, the aliveness and the love you experience within yourself</span></p>
<p>In love,<br />
Charu</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may know that today I celebrate four years with my incredible man!  It is so amazing to share with a man so dynamically and fully.  Of course, I credit Tantra for giving me the tools and the context for showing up and allowing the relationship to undo me, rather than make me smaller or box me in.</p>
<p>I think there are a few major mistakes that we all make when it comes to relationship:</p>
<p>One thing is that we think relationship is there to make us happy&#8230; of course relationships can awaken us to joy and happiness, but anyone who has been in one knows that is not all there is to it.</p>
<p>In Tantra, it is thought that a Tantric relationship is one which specifically provokes old family dynamics and habitual responses. Within a conscious, Tantric relationship we are given the opportunity to meet those &#8216;trigger points&#8217; head-on, learn how to stay present within them, and open to a new, perhaps unfamiliar way of showing up.</p>
<p>A way that is beyond &#8216;trading needs&#8217; and that takes us into uncharted territory where I don&#8217;t count on my partner to &#8216;complete me&#8217; as we see in so many movies, I go deeper with my partner by honoring myself, knowing myself and loving beyond my fear of losing.</p>
<p>This requires great courage and when you show up for relationship in this way, it can be the greatest teacher, perhaps the only teacher you will ever need.</p>
<p>I am not the woman I was four years ago.  Throughout this relationship I have become aware of some very limiting patterns that I have been ruled by for most of my life&#8230;because of my strong Tantric practice both before and during my relationship, I have broken through many layers that have kept true, authentic love at bay.  I am consistently surprised by what is possible between two people and by the true beauty of man.</p>
<p>When relating is dynamic in this way, and nourished in a foundation of a deep honor and respect for yourself AND your partner, the honeymoon never ends.  Every moment is a delicious surprise, you are consistently challenged and invited into new landscape.  Passion, desire and absolute love live here.</p>
