Kaula Path and becoming Multi-Orgasmic

Being multi-orgasmic should be our natural state, but we have suppressed much of our creative self-expression due to societal pressures. It was the Kularnava Tantra (circa 1000 CE) that explicitly did away with the idea of renunciation, and extolled enjoyment in life, stating, “The yogi should play like a child; he has no image to defend, nothing to justify. He is free of the judgements of others.”

Bhagavad Gita Revealed: Personality and truth

I have been re-reading the Bhagavad Gita Revealed by Sat Shree. The dialogue is set around convincing Arjuna to engage in a war with his cousins, an allegory for our internal struggle. The premise is that we are looking to achieve a dis-attached state where we see everything as one – as unity under the one body: dehin. This way all actions can only be ‘right’ actions.

Why Healing? Why Connection?

Kali Rising (Be who you truly are)

I have just re-read Kali Rising by Rudolph Ballentine and it is amazing how much of it I hadn’t picked up on the first couple of readings, no doubt due to my lack of appreciation for trauma informed work previously.

Being Trauma Informed

I have just completed a Trauma Informed Certificate for Coaches through the Centre for Healing which I loved and can’t recommend highly enough. One of the people Ryan Hassan and Matt Nettleton refer to quite a bit is Peter Levine, who wrote the book Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, a brilliant book, which interestingly, I’d just finished re-reading. So healing and trauma is very much in the forefront of my mind at the moment.

Tantra and Healing

As trauma is held in the body (the physical and the energetic/subtle body) the very cultivation of breath becomes a form of healing and empowerment, with breathwork being a fundamental practice within the classical tantra idea around entrainment where we bring focused attention through the breath.
