<p align="left" class="body1">Before going any further, I would like to offer a few extracts from Tantric teachings, which speak about the power of Yoni Puja, and womanhood.<br/> <br/><b>‘‘Women are divinity, women are life, women are truly jewels.’’<br/></b> <br/>This sentiment is echoed in many other Tantras such as Sakti Sangama Tantra, Devirahasya and elsewhere. A woman is the goddess:-<br/><br/><b>‘‘Worship carefully a woman or a maiden as she is Sakti, sheltered by the Kulas. One should never speak harshly to maidens or women.’’</b> (KJN, Patala 23)<br/><br/><b>‘‘In Kaula Tantra every woman is thought of as a manifestation of the Goddess. No man may raise his hand, strike or threaten a woman. When she is naked, men must kneel and worship her as the Goddess. She has equal rights with men on all levels.’’</b> (Occult World of a Tantrik Guru, Values Vol.IX)<br/><br/> <b>‘‘Women are heaven; women are dharma; and women are the highest penance. Women are Buddha; women are the Sangha; and women are the perfection of Wisdom</b>.’’ (CT 8,30)<br/><br/>Naganandini, listen closely! <b>Hari, Hara and Brahma---- the gods of creation, maintenance and destruction----all originate in the yoni.</b><br/><br/><b>One should worship the essence of Devi, the Sakti in the form of a Sakti. Doing thus, a man attains the four aims of mankind----dharma, artha, kama and moksha<br/></b><br/>I achieved my status of Mahadeva by Kula Yoga and through exclusive devotion to yoni worship. The demon Tripura was obliterated in times past by <b>your yoni’s grace. The Pandavas succeeded in battle by worshipping Draupadi’s yoni.</b><br/> <br/><b>Mahesani, meditate as being absorbed in the yoni chakra, with yoni on the tongue, yoni in the mind, yoni in the ears and yoni in the eyes. Mighty Lady, all sadhana is vain unless with the yoni. Therefore, reject other pujas and do Yoni Puja. Mahesani, there is no siddhi without devotion to the Guru.<br/></b> <br/>For a woman to embrace her true nature she has to reconnect with her soul. <br/><br/>Awakening the Soul is the first step to sustain happiness and life free from aloneness.<br/><br/>The Soul in Sanskrit is called Atman, which means happiness or bliss itself. It is not that happiness belongs to the soul; it is that the soul itself is happiness.<br/><br/>In every soul, there is a possibility of seeing and hearing, and that every soul would be most delighted to attain this power. Para-Tan Sound and Yoni Puja with the Sound of the Mahavidyas can make this a possibility for all.</p>
<p align="left" class="body1">The disharmonies of the environment generally affect the cells of all beings. The yoni in particular receives the disharmony experienced by her male partner. Therefore, it is always essential for a woman to be careful in choosing a partner, because, the impressions of disharmony lodged in the yoni by her partner lingers on for five to seven years.</p>
<p align="left" class="body1">When a women uses her words in disharmonious manner, two nadis (meridian) carry from the throat chakra to the second chakra which governs her Yoni, this it is always important for a women to be careful of how she uses her words, and the tone in which she expresses it. </p>
<p align="left" class="body1">Yoni Puja help women to reconnect, reclaim, and activate one’s Yoni/Holy Grail, one has to have an understanding of the powers of the Goddess. The true powers of the Yoni/ Shakti /Devi/Woman are: Love, Grace, Compassion, Nurturing, Serving, Creativity, Goodness, Humility, Softness, Honesty, Steadfastness, Inner Strength, and Wisdom.</p>
<p align="left" class="body1">Regular Yoni Puja allows women to enjoy freedom from all form of die-ease, from menstrual pain to cancer of the womb and the breast.<br/><a href="http://www.tantra-ifc-the-art-of-conscious-love.com/yoni_healing.html">http://www.tantra-ifc-the-art-of-conscious-love.com/yoni_healing.html</a><br/><br/></p>

<p align="left"><br/><br/><strong><em>• Maha Shakti (Devi) is divided into four parts, each corresponding with a great Age or Yuga. Our present age is the Kali Yuga, for which Yoni worship is indicated. <br/>(Schoterman, 1980)<br/><br/>Yoni: Divine qualities and powers of the Universe<br/><br/>• The Yoni or womb is the seat of absolute divine presence and power, Adthi-Para-Shakti (Feuerstein, 1998, p.247</em></strong>).<br/><br/><em><strong>• Within the Living Goddess Tradition, Women are the embodiment of Adthi-Para-Shakti on Earth.<br/><br/></strong></em><br/><br/>• It may take a sadhu three lifetimes to accomplish on his own the same ends which may be met in one lifetime practicing with a loving partner. When a woman’s Yoni is activated with Para-Tan-Sound-Ritual, the powers of the ten wisdom goddesses reside within and may bring her loving partner to spiritual heights with the only requirement being love, and a true desire to know one’s self on the part of the man. The woman’s job is more difficult. In order to have the awakened divine Shakti within the yoni there must first be a true understanding of the important role women play in creating a nurturing environment for soul development. This requires embodying truly divine qualities, not merely demanding or expecting to be worshipped because of her female reproductive system.<br/><br/>• When women receive a man’s lingam into their Yoni without love, his residual emotions and energies stay in the Yoni for up to seven years, clogging and causing stagnation in the nadis and a loss of the Woman’s-Divine-Yoni-Power.<br/><br/>• It’s not easy to maintain the powers of the universe, yet it is woman’s inherent, natural, sovereign right and power to do so. When a woman is divine, the home is a palace. When the woman is ill equipped, the building is devoid of spirit and feels like a prison.<br/><br/>• True Woman has the capacity to create beautiful, nurturing environments which nurture all those around them. Thus they not only create the universe, they are the center of the universe and as such deserved to be worshipped, revered, and honored.<br/><br/>• True women have the power to change the face of the Earth. The passion to know one’s truly divine nature is the first ingredient necessary to overcome the first obstacle of an engrained and actively reinforced false understanding of power.<br/><br/><strong>Yoni according to ancient scriptures (Vedas, Samayacaratantra, YoniTantra)</strong><br/><br/>• From the Yoni the Universe is created, born, and nurtured and upon death it is to the Yoni we return. <br/><br/>• Within the three corners of the Yoni are Brahma (the Creator/Father), Vishnu (the Preserver/Son), and Shiva (the Destroyer/Holy Ghost).<br/><br/>• Within the Yoni/Womb of Devi/Nature is the origin of the worlds, the Gods and all living beings.<br/><br/>• Yoni Puja is the worship par excellence, and by omitting it every other Puja is rendered worthless.<br/><br/>• Maha Shakti (Devi) is divided into four parts, each corresponding with a great Age or Yuga. Our present age is the Kali Yuga, for which Yoni worship is indicated. <br/>(Schoterman, 1980)<br/><br/>• The Yoni is divided into ten different Shakti Goddesses, associated with the Dasha Mahavidya (Ten Great Knowledge’s or Ten Wisdom Goddesses)<br/><br/><strong>Yoni: Shri Mantra & Yantra/Chakra; Mt. Meru</strong><br/><br/><strong><em>• If mantra is the soul of the deity, yantra is the deity’s body (Feuerstein, 1998, p. 217). <br/></em></strong><br/>• Yantras represent the descent of spirit into matter: the manifestation of the universe out of the primordial darkness of the ‘uncreate’. When the Supreme Sakti, of her own will assumes every form in the universe, in that one quivering instant the Chakra comes into being. At the very center of this yantra is the bindu, the dimensionless point. Out of absolute nothingness, shining creation manifests: First a spasm of desire ‘kamakala’ creates a throb ‘spanda’, which vibrates as sound ‘nada’. This primal sound is depicted in the Sri Yantra as the central ‘bindu’. In the first moments of its manifestation the point is called ‘parabindu’ and it contains everything that will, or can, or may be, or have the possibility of being or becoming. ‘Parabindu’ is a point of intensely concentrated energy that contains within itself the potentiality for Shiva and Shakti, but at this point they are still undifferentiated One. (Sinha, 1993, p. 95)<br/><br/>• The Shri Yantra, also called the Shri Chakra is the Yoni of Adthi-Para-Shakti in the form of Shodashi or Maha Tripura Sundari. Vitalizing the Shri Mantra actively invokes and activates the Shri Chakra ‘parabindu’ within one’s being.<br/><br/>• If we return to the Sri Yantra and imagine that the bindu in its center is the peak of a mountain; the mountain is built up in tiers, each tier being one of the circles of triangles or lotus petals, with the outermost square representing ground level; and if we now imagine a vertical spine down the center of the mountain, then at each point that the spine and a tier intersect, there is a chakra. (Sinha, 1993, p. 108) This mountain is Mount Meru, the residence of the gods, and it is within each of us.<br/><br/>• Para-Tan-Sound-Ritual utilizes the Ancient and Sacred Bijas/sounds of the Dasha Mahavidya to bring divine vibrations into life within each recipient and devotee. <br/><br/>• Resonating the Bija Mantras on one’s own will activate the divine energies within, but the most effective worship is between loving partners who worship each other as Shiva (lingam) and Shakti (Yoni).<br/><br/>• The Sound of the Universe in the form of the Shri Mantra, is used to invoke the three dimensional Shri Chakra or Mt. Meru, manifest both in the Yoni and the Lingam. Thus in this Yoni Puja the nadis are cleared and activated for the powers of the Universe to ascend as Kundalini Devi.<br/><br/>• Para-Tan safely prepares the body for Kundalini ascension by first inviting Lord Shiva to descend through the crown center. When he comes down to the base chakra and meets with Maha Kali, together they rise gently and exquisitely to dance in the thousand petalled lotus above one’s head. In this form Kali becomes Shodashi, or Tripura Sundari and as she is united with Shiva in his form of Dakshina Murti (the inner guru), all the divine energy and wisdom of the universe becomes available.<br/><br/><strong>How does Sound Healing affect the Yoni?</strong><br/><br/>• As the divine seat of power for the universe, the Yoni is a receptive vessel which contains the thoughts and emotions we put into it. The unfortunate case in today’s world is that women and men alike have lost the understanding of true power, woman’s power, Yoni (Womb) power. The result is the many and varied reproductive illnesses and diseases prevalent today. When we do not honor the powers of the Yoni, we place toxins into our Holy Grail and it becomes poisoned, dull, lifeless, and at long last, lost. Understanding the divine qualities and powers of the Yoni is the first step women especially must take in order to recognize how our misogynist conditioning has poisoned our thoughts and our emotions so that we have not only forgotten our power, but now actively work against them.<br/><br/>• Para-Tan-Sound-Healing is a powerful practice which may be applied for a range of results, depending upon the passion of the individual. <br/><br/>• Para-Tan-Sound Healing breaks up emotional trauma stored as neuro-peptides in cell receptor sites, and allows for a free flow of energy to rebuild healthy, vital cells and tissue (Pert, 2003).<br/><br/>• According to the passion level of each individual, Para-Tan may simply heal illness and provide health and happiness or it may be used as a powerful and profoundly effective tool for accelerated spiritual growth. This is especially true for couples who are committed to spiritual growth and sharing their loving journey and life together. However it may be used, whether as preventative medicine, maintenance and/or spiritual evolution, Para-Tan is the most powerful and direct method available on Earth to clear and activate one’s ‘nadi’ system.<br/><br/>• Para-Tan-Sound-Healing utilizes the sacred bija mantras of the Dasha Mahavidya, thus activating the qualities of the divine goddesses within. One must recognize that thoughts are directly responsible for the creation of either healthy or unhealthy emotions. Para-Tan can and does break up the cells but the thoughts must be purified by none other than one’s own inner guru. Success will depend upon the passion for knowing one’s true self, and varies with each individual. <br/><br/>• To find, reclaim, and activate one’s Yoni/Holy Grail, first an understanding of the powers of the Goddess must be instilled within the thoughts that may be either seeds of inspiration or discontent. The true powers of the Yoni/ Shakti /Devi/Woman are: Love, Grace, Compassion, Nurturing, Serving, Creativity, Goodness, Humility, Softness, Honesty, Steadfastness, Inner Strength, and Wisdom.<br/><br/>• One must learn how to deprogram and reprogram their thinking in order to halt and reverse the destructive conditioning causing illness to take up residence within the divine seat of power. Para-Tan-Sound-Healing will break up the cells, but each one of us must take the responsibility to be grateful, appreciate the opportunity and gift we have been given and remedy our thought pattern so we do not recreate stagnation within our nadis, which caused the diseased cells in the first place. It also breaks up energetic blockages and cells which are created and reinforced by environmental pollution, both physical and mental. <br/><br/><strong>Yoni Healing of Residual Trauma/Cellular Memories</strong><br/><br/>• Understanding the Yoni’s important role as divine vessel and seat of power is first in importance for Yoni Healing to be effective. This includes the important conservation of Shakti energy, which demands that women not have sex with men outside of a loving friendship with men they know and with whom there is already a foundational relationship of mutual respect and consideration to build upon.<br/><br/>• Those of us raised in the Western world have the additional work ahead of us, which entails cleaning out our Yoni with the junk accumulated from previous sexual interactions. We must purify our body, mind, and spirit to regain our Sovereign Shakti-Yoni-Power. Only then are we able to step into our important role of creating an environment for soul growth. WE ARE THE ENVIRONMENT!!!<br/><br/>• Para-Tan-Yoni-Healing can be effectively applied as a natural, pleasurable treatment for infertility. Sound-Healing on the Yoni strengthens all the main organs of childbearing: The uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, vagina, all of the connective tissues, and the pelvic basin.<br/><br/>• Yoni Healing is ideal for women who have either been sexually or emotionally abused. We guarantee to help you help yourself heal from past pain. Para-Tan-Yoni-Healing clears the physically manifested emotional traumas which become lodged in your cell receptor sites as memory. When left untreated these frequently manifest in the body as illnesses such as tumors, breast cancer, chronic fatigue, depression and menstrual disorders.<br/><br/><strong>The Yoni and Spiritual Development</strong><br/><br/>• Both men and women benefit from Yoni worship. It is an honoring and active participation in the dance between cosmic complementary polarities. <br/><br/>• Para-Tan activates the nadis which form the energy body of Mt.Meru, the internal universe of our Shri Chakra. Aligning our thoughts with our soul helps maintain their openness, thus the capacity to flow with Shakti.<br/><br/>• When males and females regain their divinity by understanding our respective roles in relating with each other and the universe as men and women, we have the power to change the world together.<br/></p> Introduction to Para-Tan and Tantrism Part 1 - Living Goddess Traditiontag:ipeace.us,2008-12-17:2217368:Topic:7318352008-12-17T20:56:04.695Zlucky spirithttps://ipeace.us/profile/luckyspirit

Tantrism has a long and illustrious history in India, Tibet and Nepal. In India, it is popular in Assam, Kashmir and in South India, In South India most temple rituals, though never named as Tantra, but practiced as Sakthism.<br />
<br />
Once widely practiced, during the British Raj it got suppressed and almost complete disappearance in India, that is why in many parts of India all Tantric style ritual are practiced but called as Hindu rituals.<br />
<br />
Para-Tan like Tantrism is a fascinating spiritual tradition that contains a wealth of insights useful to those who seek to explore the depths of human consciousness. Under appropriate guidance, it can even be potent tool of self-transformation and spiritual realization.<br />
<br />
Today, in the west very few students of Tantrism go to the trouble of studying the Tantric literature itself, when there are many reliable translations in many western languages. They also tend to overlook the fact that Tantrism is an initiatory tradition, that is to say, it is based on the time-honored guru-disciple relationship. Para-Tan like Tantrism follows the same tradition.<br />
<br />
In the west, we find ads for Tantra Yoga in a variety of publications inviting to attend Tantric celebration in idyllic setting, promising pleasure and fund. Since the 60s the west where Tantrism has become popular and it is precisely the sexual orientation of Tantrism that attracts Western seekers who have tired of the sex-negative attitude prevailing in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Many western seekers think of Tantrism solely in terms of its sexual practice and not a few who actually immerse themselves in Tantric Teachings do so for self-gratification. Tantrism, however, is not about selfish pleasure but about ego-transcending bliss, and not about sex as such but about the transmutation of sexual energy.<br />
<br />
Better sex is never a good foundation for a loving relationship, and love is a very effective foundation for transmutation of sexual energy. Many Para-Tan students have experienced the transmutation of sexual energy within a few sessions. Para-Tan alchemy of Lovemaking offers all Western seekers a new art of Lovemaking that which is both gratifying and at the same time creates a foundation for long lasting relationship.<br />
<br />
Para-Tan like Tantrism can perhaps be defined as an energetic approach to the spiritual path, using various techniques including mantra, ritual, pranayama, agni, and ritualistic worship of the true seeker.<br />
<br />
We have posted articles presenting Para-Tan Sound healing, developed over some years of intuitive experimentation, in an easy to understand form, without too many Hindu terms. This approach blends the principle of Tantra as practiced in India, and the Knowledge reviled to our Master after years of worship Mother Kali.<br />
<br />
Over time we will post articles presenting the meditational and mantric side of Tantra, which is the more common side of Tantra practiced in India.<br />
<br />
We recommend readers interested in Tantra to start by reading the following books.<br />
<br />
Tools for Tantra by Harish Yohari ISBN 9780892810550<br />
<br />
Tantric Yoga and the wisdom Goddesses by Dr. David Frawley, ISBN 81-208-1357-X<br />

<br />
Traditional India Tantra is the redeeming feature to save Mother Earth<br />
<br />
Tantric scholars have written about the human Yogini as an independent, outspoken, forthright woman with a gracefulness of spirit. She is the feminine counterpart of the great Yoga and carries similar insights, faculties and energies but with a special beauty, grace and delight.<br />
<br />
Besides great Yogis, there is a tradition of great Yoginis, either along with yogis or on their own. For example, Mahavatar Babaji, the great immortal guru of Kriya Yoga is said to have such a Yogini counterpart.<br />
<br />
Tantric texts honor both women and the Earth alike as sources of energy, vitality, and sustenance, providing physical and spiritual well-being. The Divine Mother holds the key to all lasting regeneration in this ecological age of strife and turbulence. Reconnecting with the sacred feminine energy of the universe allows<br />
<br />
us to restore the Divine balance within ourselves celebrating the Devi power, mystery and magic of transformation through which all life breathes and evolves. In our surrender, we can together save Mother Earth.<br />
<br />
In Hindu thought, the Yogini represents the Yoga Shakti herself<br />

<font color="#700159" size="3" face="Helvetica, sans-serif, Arial"><br />
</font><p><font color="#700159" size="3" face="Helvetica, sans-serif, Arial">Para-Tan Sound healing can be effectively used to help with problems of ovaries, uterus, and uterine tubes. Congestion and knots in there areas often result is cramps, PMS, ovarian pains, cysts, endometriosis, cervical and ovarian cancer, frigidity, and infertility. Sound can also be used after childbirth, miscarriage, or lower abdominal surgery. They will help the uterus return to its normal position and size.<br/> <br/> The Yoni has to be kept clear of any blockages so that energy can flow freely. The second chakra energy is one of the primary energies, and blockages, stagnation or congestion of the second chakra can be associated with emotion.<br/> <br/>
The Uterus is connected within the body by tendons, which frequently tighten through internal congestion and require adjustment. When the nadis and veins are blocked, the uterus become cold and cysts are more likely to form.<br/>
<br/>
Menstrual cramps can be caused by the ovary not functioning properly, especially when there is a knot in the area. Regular use of sound to women with menstrual problems, with particular attention on the Navel and lower part of the abdomen, can help prevent menstrual cramps, water retention, and bloating.<br/>
<br/>
Para-Tan Sound can help in controlling endometriosis, which is cause by an abnormal growth of the lining of the uterus, and over a long period it can become non-active. The condition creates tangles in the small intestine, lymphatic system, and sacral plexus. Para-Tan Sound over a long period can help the endometriosis to recede.<br/>
<br/>
Frigidity or sexual unresponsiveness is a difficult problem, which is generally caused by emotional tension, or problem with the organs, namely the kidney and liver. When a women is sexually abused, it causes cellular knots both in the liver and kidney, know as emotional memory. This is a difficult problem to heal, and may take a while with some, and faster with others. A person who can reclaim the passion for living, then the problem can be fixed, other it may even take years.<br/>
<br/>
There are many way of treating the problems, in Tantra the use massage, which is intrusive, and Taoist treatment it is less intrusive, and with Para-Tan it is totally non-intrusive, for here nudity is not necessary. It is easier to sound with cloths on, rather then without.</font></p>

I do not wish to deviate from Devanayagi Parameswaran's original content, but just wish to add a point of view that I would like to have open for discussion.<br />
<br />
I have spent most of my life with wolves, and also living in wilderness.<br />
As a runaway child fled to the wilds for shelter and to survive after my father was killed when I was 12 years old.<br />
<br />
I have been places not yet effected by the spirit of modern man, and rather than infect it with my own spirit,<br />
sought to embrace the spirit of the land and walk as one with it, so I would not change it, but rather also in accepting it within me, become like a carrier of a seed of what is very very ancient.<br />
<br />
I want to add some modern.<br />
E=MC<sup>2</sup><br />
energy and mass are the same thing in 2 different forms.<br />
If I were to describe this to someone with the highest technology of a wheel,<br />
Father and Mother.<br />
Life, is the union.<br />
of energy and mass.<br />
Energy > Spirit > Father<br />
Mass > Earth > Mother<br />
<br />
Love = union.<br />
<br />
I am head of my household.<br />
But was confused when I left the wilds, by women, and tried hard to fit among my own kind but could not.<br />
They wanted me to destroy the earth (drive a car, buy nuclear powered electricity, own "things")<br />
This was not wise to me. To destroy what gives me life?<br />
I was rejected over and over because of this... wanting of material goods and machines and not caring about what is done to the earth to get them, that, was to them, success.<br />
<br />
I met a woman 10 yrs ago who honors the earth, and understands.<br />
<br />
I am male.<br />
This makes me only 1/2 human.<br />
I need her help, to help me learn more ways to live with this earth,<br />
and for her to tell me this is what she wants.<br />
Men likely hear a lot what I heard a lot, from women, wanting the big house and nice car....<br />
and that is how you attract and keep a mate.......<br />
<br />
But I knew in my heart this was not a good thing, so no relationship ever lasted very long until I met this one.<br />
Who honors her mother, and has been away from me over a year, to take care of her when she could not take care of herself, as her mother also did for her.<br />
This we should also be doing for our earth, she took care of us when we could not take care of ourselves,<br />
she now needs us to take care of her.<br />
Not by buying big houses, fancy cars, and not caring about what we do to this earth while we live here.<br />
<br />
I need my wife to help guide me, because I am a man, I want to provide for her,<br />
and I listen to her on what she wants to be more happy and secure.<br />
This one wants to live in a tipi with me. As I did for decades.<br />
She wants me to walk the path of respect and honor of this earth.<br />
Rather than calls me crazy and takes my children from me because, I cant destroy this world,<br />
and be at peace with who I am at the SAME TIME.<br />
<br />
I am at peace with my wife.<br />
<b>She</b> does not want me to rape and abuse from this earth nor steal resources from future generations.<br />
The earth gave freely, what was wrong, that we have to force more from her?<br />
<br />
My wife is 50, worries about me meeting other women here and other places, who are younger, have $ to offer, or whatever else it is she is worried about.<br />
I think she is nuts! I have a woman of RESPECT and HONOR for this earth.<br />
And know to well those who did not, and I will NOT dishonor my wife, nor my best friend I've ever had.<br />
So if there are women, who wonder what a decent man wants in a wife?<br />
Honor this earth and show men, you want her PROTECTED, rather than abused.<br />
<br />
If "God" or whatever name is given, is the common thing with all that is "REAL" in energy/spirit<br />
then "Nature" or any other name given, is the common thing of what is this earth.<br />
It too, has a spirit. And with it too, LIFE is her children. And that includes US.<br />
<br />
But in the face of abuse, just walking through a valley as a human knows abuse, DESTROYS her spirit.<br />
This is how I can tell if modern man has been to a place. Because she is gone.<br />
That ancient spirit, more than just the earth itself, is being destroyed.<br />
I carry that spirit within me.<br />
As a father would protect a child, from those who would abuse it.<br />
<br />
Humans are not animals... I hear this from my own kind.<br />
This is not what I see from the outside looking at humanity.<br />
Wolf sees that the embryo of almost all life on earth, has something in common.<br />
It resembles the human being.<br />
We, are natures INTENDED destination of evolution,<br />
DESTINATION, yes, but that meant we NEEDED the others FIRST.<br />
And we are wiping them out, because we call our selves "special" as if ABOVE all other life on earth.<br />
<br />
I am not ABOVE my wife,<br />
I am at her SIDE.<br />
She is my other half, of what is needed to be a HUMAN BEING.<br />
I am not separate from life/nature earth, should I be separate from God?<br />
Or only one with God and <b>not</b> this earth?<br />
I am not ABOVE nature,<br />
I am at her SIDE.<br />
Even, if that means going against my own kind.<br />
To PROTECT HER.<br />
<br />
A wolf is self aware.<br />
A wolf is part of energy and mass united.<br />
This makes wolf part of this planet, part of life,<br />
part of this universe.<br />
not separate or above and thus cut off from it.<br />
Wolf is self aware.<br />
wolf is aware wolf is part of the universe.<br />
Is the universe self aware?<br />
Look to yourselves, are you self aware?<br />
You are part of this planet, part of all life here, part of this universe.<br />
Is the universe self aware?<br />
YOU are that PROOF that it IS.<br />
I leaned that from a wolf,<br />
He KNEW he was part of this universe, part of space and time,<br />
part OF this earth, NOT SEPARATE from it.<br />
He, taught me 40 years ago,<br />
I've been teaching others ever sense.<br />
<br />
No less is this planet, and most of life here.<br />
AWARE of the TRUTH.<br />
If we cannot understand other animals here,<br />
Maybe there is a 'reason'?<br />
Because I can!<br />
<br />
And perhaps it is why, I and this eagle see eye to eye.<br />
Its not what "I" know, so much as what it is clear, we BOTH know.<br />
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/96935842?profile=original" alt="" width="600" height="352"/></p>
<br />
I treat my wife with love, compassion, dignity, respect, and as an <b>equal life</b> as am I.<br />
I am head of household, I make the rules, those are my rules.<br />
I am not female, nor is she male, I LIKE this DIFFERENCE.<br />
Are we equal? As in being alive, yes. As in being human, yes.<br />
Is she a man? I hope not!<br />
<br />
But I stand by her, I protect her, I am here to serve her in my ways as she is here to serve me in hers.<br />
And both are respected for each others roles, that combined we become whole, and stronger than separately.<br />
The union, is stronger than the separate parts.<br />
Their is a trilogy.<br />
HER, I, and US.<br />
My focus remains that way. If I focus to much on US, the part that is I, becomes weakened.<br />
I need to be strong in who I am, help her to be strong in who she is, and hold the two of us together in my fair share.<br />
and we support each other, give shelter to each other from the hardships of life.<br />
<br />
So if a man reads this,<br />
let it be known to women you are not the type who seeks to abuse this earth.<br />
and if a woman, let it be known to men your looking for one who seeks to take care of this earth,<br />
rather than destroy it for a big screen TV set and new car and fancy house.<br />
Those are fine if your not destroying this earth to get them.<br />
<br />
Or would you instruct a man, to be in the habit of abusing, what is defenseless?<br />
And tell themselves in habit, that doing that, is okay.....<br />
And then wonder at abuse, of women, children, earth, wars, and more.<br />
<br />
Asked what I saw stopping peace from ruling our selves and thus the earth,<br />
that above, is my answer.<br />
As an animal looking from dense forests looks at a city.<br />
and seeks to understand humans.<br />
WHY are they doing this?<br />
Does not the above, answer that question?<br />
I'm open to response,<br />
I am open to learn,<br />
and I reserve the right to be wrong.<br />
that I may change, if I learn better.<br />
<br />
A friend in peace,<br />

Sacred Love Making is a ritualistic dance of union which is termed as Maithuna (the pair-body or two-in-one) or Shiva-Sakthi dance. It is, in fact, an inner aspiration to accomplish the alchemy of divine union merging the Male - the Solar principle with the Female - the Lunar principle, in order to become the embodiment of a divine human being.<br></br>

Sacred Love Making is a ritualistic dance of union which is termed as Maithuna (the pair-body or two-in-one) or Shiva-Sakthi dance. It is, in fact, an inner aspiration to accomplish the alchemy of divine union merging the Male - the Solar principle with the Female - the Lunar principle, in order to become the embodiment of a divine human being.<br/>
<br/>
Maithuna, has nothing in common with sexual orgies. It symbolizes the eternal union of Spirit and Nature and epitomizes the fulfillment of the contemplative love or the spiritualized sexuality, unlike what is popularly considered by unlearned Hindus and Westerners.<p></p>
<br />
<p>Sacred Love Making is only possible when the Maithuna union is present. In modern day, most people have their wires crossed, whereby the media has placed sex performance and sensual appearance as an important issue, rather than Love and inner beauty. Love is the magic word that one uses so freely, yet does one know what it actually takes to love?</p>
<br />
<p>The alchemy of the Lovemaking involves a deep knowledge of one's own sexuality, total control over the sexual energy and the existence of pure and unconditional love.When one speaks about Lovemaking in the West it is usually about sexual performance. Many authors in the West misunderstand love for sex like Karinna, who based upon what she has written, in my mind, clearly defines her as a sex educator and not a love educator.<br/> <br/>
She claims to know the ancient Taoist love secrets and rituals for deeper sexual satisfaction and emotional connection. But how can this be possible for anyone to learn by just watching a video? How can the secrets of ancient Taoist lovemaking practices, taught by the world renowned Taoist Master, Master Mantak Chia, be properly conveyed in a video?</p>
<br />
<p><br/>
The art of Love Making cannot be learned, it can only be cultivated, and sexual science, like any other sciences, can only be learned if one knows about the different sexual natures of a person. In Hindu Astrology Yoni Kuta is an important factor that measures the sexual compatibility of couples. Yoni Kuta indicates the degree of sexual affinity, sensual desires, and even the size of their sex organs. Some constellations are male while the others are female, and are related to a particular<br />
animal, as also stated in the Kama Sutra. When couples share the same animal type, one being male and the other being female, it greatly enhances the partnership. When both are,<br />
male, frequent quarrels and lack of agreement around sexuality will occur. This method of compatibility has worked successfully for 1000s of years within Hindu societies, and has been part of the Living Goddess Tradition. With the Living Goddess Tradition in India, the girl’s family takes great care when finding the right partner for their daughter, to ensure that she is always happy. When no<br />
compromises are made in this search, there is 90% guarantee that the marriage will be successful, as for the boys family they will always look for a Lakshmi incarnate to enter their home. At this point I would like to remind all women readers that each and every woman ever born is a Lakshmi incarnation. Due to the speed and chaotic nature of our society, most women are never made to understand their true nature. <br/>
<br/>
How many of the so call love making Educators know about the different types of individual and how they function emotionally?<br/>
<br/>
Karinna Karsten Kittles, better known as The Love Educator, is the author of Sacred Love-Making. Here is what she has stated about Love Making!</p>
<br />
<p></p>
<h2>;What is Sacred Love-Making?</h2>
While sex of itself can be very physically enjoyable and pleasing to the senses, sex can be much more than that. It can be a truly sacred experience."<p></p>
<br />
<p>Which comes first Love or Sex? If it is to be Love, then one first has to embark on a spiritual journey that will open up the Heart Chakra. If sex comes first, then one would need to devote years in learning the spiritual practices of the Tao in order to activate the genital energy. Sex without true love can be very disappointing, and further more continues to pollute the woman's Yoni (The Holy Grail).<br/> <br/>
To be a sex educator one has to know about the human body in a spiritual sense.& When we speak of the spiritual aspects of humans and their sexuality we then are speaking of their inner journey.</p>
<br />
<p>How does a woman or man assist their partner to create union within themselves? When two forces come together they come to teach themselves about there own personal sexuality. Ones partner is basically ones tool to access this union within one self. For this to happen a woman must reclaim her true goddess nature. For a woman to regain her true nature she must empower her Yoni which is the Holy Grail.</p>
<br />
<p></p>
<h3><b><u><font size="5">What is the power of the Yoni and the Lingam, spiritually speaking?</font></u></b>
<br />
</h3>
<br />
<p><b><u>;</u></b><font size="4">The lingam is a</font> <font size="4">magical wand and the yoni is the holy grail.</font></p>
<br />
<p>Then the question is, can better sex help us find happiness, and if better sex can give happiness, then why aren't all of us having sex in the morning, afternoon and night, like our need for eating. <br/> <br/>
As stated: "<b>Alive Mind</b> (a website) we are committed to providing intelligent and provocative films, essays, and advice about sex that stimulate on many levels. From Jamie Morgan’s controversial documentary The Workshop about communal sexual lifestyle experiments to Karinna Kittles-Karsten’s weekly posts about how to improve your sex life based on ancient Taoist love secrets, our goal is to illuminate how the pleasure and the power of Eros can be a catalyst for personal transformation”<br />
<br/>
<br/>
First and foremost both Karinna Kittles-Karsten’s and Elizabeth Sheldon the vice president of Lorber HT Digital, the corporate parent of Alive Mind should ask themselves what will serve women better? Sex or reclaiming their divinity through The Living Goddess tradition.<br/>
<br/>
Will Tao sex be the catalyst for personal transformation? From my understanding of what Mantak Chia has stated in his books, Tao is “ a method of healing and life-enhancement which can be studied and practiced.” Tao speaks about sexual energy, as a practice for healing yourself and not much about creating better sex, as it is believed in the west. <br/>
;<br/>
It is time that women start to understand that they are born as goddesses, and not just mere women born to satisfy the need of men, or what the media perceives a women should be. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
“Yoni puja is a worship par excellence and by omitting it every other puja is rendered useless. For this present Yuga the part of Sakthi's body worshiped is the Yoni. Thus, Devi is worshiped only with regards to Her Yoni.”<br/>
<br/>
This path was hidden and lost for over 6000 years. This is the oldest known path in Shaktism, older then the knowledge of the Siva Lingam, which is the main icon of Shaivism. <br/>
<br/>
The Shiva Lingam represents the cosmic principles. In Hinduism, Shiva symbolizes the consciousness, and Sakthi symbolizes the energy or principle behind the manifested Universe. They are the cosmic couples who are inseparably united as Brahman, the absolute. They also represent the essence of each human being. Shiva is the third member of the trinity, Brahma the creator, Vishnu the sustainer and Shiva the destroyer. The Shiva Lingam's base is the Yoni with Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva within it. This is a clear representation of the power of Sakthi. She as Aathi Para Sakthi is the creator of all, the Gods and human and all the three worlds.<br/>
<br/>
In the teachings it has been started, that "to worship the Yoni of the Divine Mother, one has to worship the Yoni of The Living Goddess (ones female partner).”<br/>
Does Carol Ciancutti-Leyva know that she is the same as the Mother of Creation, and her daughter is the same as well! Can she make the daughter believe it to be so.<br/>
;<br/>
Below is an extract from an article by Carol Ciancutti-Leyva published in Health, Mothers Daughters also in Alive Mind<br/>
<br/>
"I would like my daughter to feel confident and beautiful not on the basis of how she stacks up in the world to the images around her. I’d like her beauty and self-confidence to radiate from the inside out not by the mascara that I won’t let her wear. But the reality is she goes to school and puts the mascara on anyway because her friend has a bag of make-up at school. So I keep trying as I<br />
believe all women keep trying to get up every day and feel good about themselves in a world demanding and “offering” perfection.”<br/>
<br/>
To feel confident and beautiful all women must first reclaim their true nature, become a living Goddess, which has been robbed from them in the past 2,000 years. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and most recently the Communists, conspired to wipe our memories clean of tens of thousands of years of Goddess spirituality, and thus females lost their sacredness. It is time for women to reclaim their sacredness, and be worshiped again. Mother Earth has to become the<br />
domain of the Mother Goddess, only then will peace and harmonious living prevail as it was before the monotheist religions. <br/>
<br/>
For many years brave women have fought hard for feminist right. Today, the need has become more than just to be given equal rights, but for all women to reclaim their Goddess nature, and to<br />
understand that their Yoni is the Holy Grail that is very divine and special.<br/>
<br/>
With monotheist religions like the Christians and Muslims, women have been seen as sinners. But in the culture of India women are seen as Goddesses and India is where the Living Goddess Tradition prevails.</p>
<br />
<p><br/>
I have often heard of a happy and satisfied mother-in-law refers to her son's wife as the 'coming of Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) incarnate' into her home. This feeling and acknowledgment should echo in every home around the world, for all women are the embodiment of Mother Lakshmi. <br/>
<br/>
A house will only become a home when the woman of the home is recognized and honored as Mother Lakshmi, and she herself has to recognize herself as being so.. She is the light of the home, the wealth of the home. As I grew up, I watched how my mother managed the home and finances very successfully, and by her example my three sisters did extremely well when they became home makers, and especially two of them who were employed, one as a teacher and the other a 9 to<br />
5 office staff. Today their kids have grown up and become professionals themselves, now we can only wait and see how they fair, as the times are moving fast like their cars.<br/>
<br/>
It is incredible to watch a man being a Master of the Living Goddess Tradition, and helping women feel like Goddesses. I wish that people that I have quoted in the articles joined him in the campaign to help women to find their rightful place in society. <br/>
<br/>
</p>
<h3><b>is it urgent for women to reclaim their rightful place in society?<br/></b></h3>
<br />
<br/>
“Take a trip to a girls school, and you will hear from student after student talk of the pressures to look a certain way the pressures in today’s world to do something about it written today about the damaging effect to women’s and girls self-esteem and body image by the barrage of images that are air brushed and show as perfect we see on a daily basis. I read in a recent article from Eating Disorder Referral and Information center that that approximately 10 percent of girls and women (up to<br />
10 million) are suffering diagnosed eating disorders.”<br/>
<br/>
The above statement will mean that we will have 10 million houses and not homes, and people<br />
like Sarah Palin could also become the next Vice President, if not, her society will build more of them, and that will eventually bring about the annihilation of the world that so many of us are fighting hard to preserve.<p></p>
