There are so many misconceptions around the word “tantra.” Yet when we look at the root of the confusion, what it boils down to is that people do not know what it is. What is it, and how do we understand it? Amanda explores Tantra and how it relates to sacred sex, sexuality, and the masculine and feminine. Check out with us to know more about Tantra at amandabiccum.com/what-is-tantra/!
A wish is quite a tiny thing
Just like a bird upon the wing
It flies away all fancy free
And lights upon a house or tree;
It flies across the farthest air,
And builds a safe nest anywhere

Self-Love
The best way to live a positive life in the present is to love who you are. When you love yourself - and truly accept who you are - everything changes. Everything in your life becomes a reflection of that love. You begin moving down the right path. You become surrounded by the right people. You are doing what you need to do, and you are making the most of every moment. This awesome feeling starts with the decision to fall in love with yourself.
Beth is simply radiant this week!
Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us
I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085
Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.
if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!
Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:
The “Rules”
Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.
Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)
Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved
(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”
Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)
1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.
2.Ask them to do the same
3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*
* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.
“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” Ben Okri
“And may your first love last forever.
P.S. You are your first love. Take care of yourself.”
Cleo Wade

"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."
C. S. Lewis
True tantra is about the experience, and maybe you come, maybe you don’t. Either way, that is not the point. You treat yourself to a nice dinner or a movie, a hike, or whatever it is you would want someone else to do for you on a date. True love starts with self.

"Wouldn't it be
wonderful? If my wide
hips were wanted - there
there that part there
looked at with wonder?
"I remember a drunk man
once drawled, 'I like
your hips' and I thought
'that is the oddest thing
I have ever heard...
because don't you know
they are unlikeable
and unappealing?"

Kundalini Yoga And Tantrik Sadhana - www.omashram.in/kundalini-yoga-yoga-teacher-trainin www.omyogaashram.in
Kundalini Yoga actually belongs to Tantrik Sadhana, which gives a detailed description of this serpent-power and the Chakras, as mentioned above. Mother Divine, the active aspect of the Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, resides in the body of men and women in the form of Kundalini, and the entire Tantrik Sadhana aims at awakening Her and making Her unite with the Lord, Sadasiva, in the Sahasrara, as described in the beginning in detail. Methods adopted to achieve this end in Tantrik Sadhana are Japa of the name of the Mother, prayer, and various rituals. #yoga #yttc #yogaeverywere #yogaeveryday #yogaretreats #200houryttc
