Seriously, it's very difficult in Tantra to teach your lover or have sex with your teacher. Some people would say that this is contrary to the cause, but let me explain... First off, there is a difference between Formal and Informal teachings. FORMAL teaching of the Tantric meditations is somewhat easy, if the student and the teacher are both aware that this is what is going on. If one person in an existing couple takes the role of "teacher", that couple has suddenly taken the equality of the relationship and tilted it. Not that it can't be balanced out, but the couple must recognized the imbalance for that to happen. Secondly, if an existing couple decides to learn Tantra together, they very rarely get beyond their comfort zones. People are attracted to each other because their weaknesses match up. If they find bliss together in thier weaknesses, they have no motivation to move beyond that bliss, nor to move beyond their weaknesses. They stay securely within their comfort zones, exchanging insecure energy until one of them runs dry. Third, and most importantly, when working in advanced Red Tantra, certain meditations create a magnetic pull toward sexual union between the practitioners. Partners who are easily sexual with each other find no resistance when practicing these meditations together, and hence fall easily into bed rather than keep up the resistance so that the energy builds and they can actually advance with their meditations. In other words, without some sort of resistance between partners, the Advanced Red Tantra meditations will simply create an atmosphere where having sex takes priority over everything. This is not recommended for spiritual advancement. Tantra can create an energy field between two people which can elevate spirits and allow mind/body disconnection for higher learning. However, it takes patience and practice to get to that point. Unless both people in a pair of practitioners are equally dedicated to the Work, the practice tends to stagnate at the first sign of weakness. To have sex with a Tantric student creates it's own set of difficulties. The magnetic force that pulls the couple into a sexual mindset is even stronger (and less focused) when working with a new practitioner. The resistance that is necessary for that student's advancement is not going to come from the student; he/she is not expected to be in the control seat. The control must come from the teacher. The teacher who cannot allow resistance to build within the magnetic field that Tantra creats has nothing to teach with. Secondly, when a teacher of ANY subject becomes sexual with a student, nobody can concentrate. Both minds go constantly to sex, and the lessons that are being taught are lost. Third, there is an implicit trust between a teacher and a student, and for the teacher to not be able to resist sex with a student breaks down the trust a little at a time. Once the trust is gone, the student will have little respect for anything further that the teacher says. When either partner in a couple with Tantric energy in their systems has an orgasm, a strong connective link is created between the people that gives them more psychic ability than normal. When a Tantra practitioner has his/her Kundalini energy at maximum capacity power and he/she orgasms, anyone in the room is going to feel it and be aware of the energy explosion; untrained individuals will find themselves inexplicably tied to the orgamic person. (This is also an annoying side effect of going into Advanced Red Tantra too soon.) If you find that you cannot resist having sex with the person you are trying to teach Tantra to, there are a few options: 1. Don't teach this person Tantra, but have someone else teach him/her. When you are both on equal levels with your learning, you can practice better together. Until then, try to just have ordinary sex (yeah right). 2. Don't have sex with this person anymore. Wait till he/she learns as much Tantra as you have. (see above) 3. Try to teach by example, without the directed meditations. This is difficult, time consuming, and pitfall ridden. Takes a real masochist... 4. Be content with the level you have both reached, and explore your own path outside the relationship while maintaining the status quo with this partner. Don't teach, but don't get totally attached to him/her either. Think outside the box when/if this happens to you, and remember; you can teach em or you can screw em, you can't do both. However, there is no such thing as too many people to love. Good day! © 1999 -2005 Sienna Newcastle |
