Tantra brings you playfulness and pleasure

Spirituality is taken very seriously and often seekers become rigid and serious instead of flexible and light-hearted. To embrace life, we need to, as Jesus said, become like children again. This is the virgin spirit of the goddess Kumari– the sweet innocence, the pure joy, expressing through the exuberance of life. We often suppress our childlike qualities of wonder and enthusiasm, and replace those feelings with complacency, boredom, suspicion, seriousness, skepticism and other emotions that stop the flow of joy.

Evoking feelings of happiness is something that we all have to work at. It’s not always automatic. We have to make a conscious effort to create, develop and maintain emotions that sustain our feelings of wellbeing at all times. And we must learn how to live in a perpetual state of loving awareness. This is a huge challenge at times, but no one else can do this for us. Since we create our own reality every moment of every day, we really have no choice.

Part of tantric work requires playfulness as we explore our sensuality through music, dance, movement, singing, art and sexuality. In fact, play and pleasure, as well as every other aspect of life, such as work, eating, lovemaking are regarded as opportunities for spiritual development.

The mind is a world of complex images and concepts, but the body’s world is one of sensation. So we can only experience pleasure through the senses. Our bodies want to feel pleasurable sensations constantly — touching, breathing deeply, dancing, looking with curiosity, walking rhythmically, and making love.

Tantra increases intuition and psychic abilities

Intuition has also been called insight, revelation, inspiration, direct apprehension, gut instinct, a flash, a hunch, a premonition, “Eureka” or “Aha,” a sixth sense, an inner voice, “vibes,” a feeling, “reading between the lines,” “red flags,” a “nagging” feeling, sensitivity, “ringing true,” “an educated guess,” “reading him (or her) like a book,” “inner radar,” “a light coming on,” preconscious concept formation, and ESP (or “being psychic,” although intuition is not truly a psychic phenomenon).

Intuition is a natural function which we all possess. It cannot be developed; it is already fully functioning and accurate, such that this part of us always knows everything which is affecting our lives or will affect our lives.

But a reliable sense of “knowing” is developed only when our minds are free from thought, for only through this inner silence can messages from our higher self-reach us.

Tantra work helps us maintain a type of inner silence and stillness even when we are busy. I call it “active body, still mind”.

Clairvoyance… clairaudience…clairsentience…the abilities to see, hear and feel through paranormal senses could become prominent, as well as the ability to heal, see, feel and manipulate energy.

Manifestation of thoughts may occur and with that comes the realization that one has to be very cognizant of his or her thoughts, feelings and actions. With power comes grave responsibility.

I might add that this phenomenon is not sought, it is earned. It is a gift.

Orthodox Jewish men given a new weapon in the war against sexual temptation… blurred glasses so they can’t see women

It may seem a short-sighted solution but blurred glasses are their latest tool available to ultra-orthodox Jewish men who want to stop eyeing up beautiful women. The specially-designed out of focus glasses are proving popular among so-called 'Charedi' men in religious areas of Israel. The anti-ogle goggles can be snapped up for just a few pounds and feature a sticker on the lens which makes them poorly focused when looking anywhere except for the space in the immediate vicinity. The glasses provide clear vision for a few metres, but anything anything further away becoms blurry. The glasses are on sale in religious neighbourhoods of Jerusalem such as Mea Shearim. According to some reports, the glasses are just one item in a range 'modesty' accessories on offer in the area. Orthodox men can also purchase blinkers or vision-impeding hoods - as famously worn by Sephardi Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira. The Committee for Purity in the Camp also supplies portable screens that can be erected in an airline seat to block passing women from views and prevent men from inadvertently watching in-flight movie with scantily-clad women. Wearers may fear they look a bit of a spectacle, but according to a report in the Maariv newspaper, the products come with a message saying they  should be proud rather than embarrassed when using the items in public. In an effort to maintain their strictly devout lifestyle, the ultra-Orthodox have separated the sexes on buses, sidewalks and other public spaces in their neighborhoods. Their interpretation of Jewish law forbids contact between men and women who are not married. Walls in their neighborhoods feature signs exhorting women to wear closed-necked, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts. Extremists have reported confronted women they consider to have flouted the code.

Danko’s Strain of the Week

Canna Sutra – Delta-9 Labs  HIGH TIMES Top 10 Strain, 2009 True connoisseurs know the many positive effects of sativas, including their ability to inspire sensual thoughts and feelings. Ed and Harry from Delta-9 Labs crossed the Reclining Buddha with Sensi Star to create the Canna Sutra, a sultry strain that elevates and stimulates the mind (and so much more!), even as the smoke burns soft and smooth and leaves behind a wonderful incense-like smell. When growing the Canna Sutra, allow a decent amount of space for roots to develop and plenty of room for them to breathe. She’ll reward you with a bounty of bodacious buds perfect for a quiet romantic evening with a special friend. A heavy feeder, Canna Sutra is also a little picky about overwatering, preferring “dry feet.” Medicinal users take note: Ed tells me that “some users report strong bronchial dilation, which may help to alleviate the symptoms of asthma and related conditions.” Lineage: Reclining Buddha x Sensi Star Flowering time: 9 weeks Contact: Attitude Seedbank via HIGHTIMES.COM > Danko’s Strain of the Week.
