This is a re-post in case you didn't catch it the first time.
I am looking for people to participate in the pilot of a new course I created combining my understandings from Taoist practices and Ipsalu Tantra. The purpose would be to activate the body in a way that a person becomes sensitive to the variety of sensations, the reverse of "shutting down."
Ideally this would become a home study course complementary to our Hot Tantra workshops.
In addition, each week's lesson would involve exploration of specific areas of sensation, with the point of activating the whole body and the range of emotions. Crucial to this process would be development of "witness consciousness" so that if undesirable feelings came up, they could be experienced, examined and accepted.
The first 10 lessons are fairly set, but I wanted to leave the remainder open based on the needs of the participants. There are a variety of directions things could go based on the experience level and goals of the participants.
The program could also be modified based on whether a partner is available. In fact, one of the things I was thinking of teaching in addition to learning about one's own energies, was learning about how men and women differ in fundamental disposition, and how to find appropriate partners. (I have found that whereas finding partners used to be difficult, it is a lot easier since I learned tantra. It might even be part of the homework for singles. Depending on the response, there may also be opportunities for matching.)
If things go as I envision them, when the comfort levels and experience were appropriate, training would be provided in specifics of sexual technique both for male and female.
The eventual results would be that individuals would be fully embodied and capable of fully feeling their bodies, emotions and pleasure. They would also have a degree of mastery with respect to the opposite sex and be well on the path with respect to such tantric practices as how to pleasure the opposite sex, self-ignition, ejaculatory choice, and transmutation of orgasmic energy.
I would want to keep case histories and testimonials both for purposes of refining the course materials and for eventual promotion once the program is ready for wider release.
I hope this provides some idea of what I am up to.
If you saw the movie "The Secret" this supports and expands those principles as well.
