Tantric Meditation/ Tantric Sex for Couples (to be continued)

I ran into Daniel, a former nuru client the other day. I learned to know that he had been practising Tantric Meditation/ Tantric Sex ever since after our session a few years back. He is a French professional in his forties. He has a shrine in his home with different statures, and Buddhist decorations and incense. Basically D. Is a hard-core, devout and knowledgeable follower. Every year, D spends a few months in Europe to keep progressing. He also travels to India to get empowered and initiated by Himalayan Master. With a curious mind, I came to his new apartment in D2 to interview him about Tantric Meditation and what it has to do with Tantric Sex. In his words, Tantric Sex is pure sex with the participants first purifying their mind then imagining themselves as God and Goddess and making love to each others like what we would think of Zeus and his other female deities on the Olympus. The most important thing about tantric meditation is to never do it for money. If couples would like to learn, they can make donations but it isn’t for advertising and certainly not for sale. D. Dedicated roughly two hours of his morning to walking me through different steps of the routine. First, he would elicit my answers related to meditation and yoga in general and how they are connected. He also showed me how to meditate properly making sure my postures were correct (knees, back, chest, chin & tongue, shoulders, fingers) and where to look. Then we learned how to shut our mind down and breathing through our stomach by chanting simple words such as IN, OUT, TOUCH etc. The purpose of this exercise is to control how our breath, unify our mind and body so that we could feel more where our energy goes. The eventual result is to increase our consciousness through every breath. We needed to breathe so slowly and intently to push our awareness to the part of the body where we want to feel it. As we meditated, I was asked to be propped up by sitting on a folded cushion. The next step was to create a motivation or purpose of this session. We had to tell ourselves that we were doing it not for us but for the good of other people around us and remind ourselves to be kind and generous to everyone. In this step, if a participant isn’t patient enough or doesn’t understand why he/ she has to do so or this is all gimmick, it is time for them to get out. In his routine, he insisted the start be on the couch or the floor and never be on the bed to see the difference in transition later on. Once we were aware of our intention and fully into it, we would make a conscious walk to the bed. The walk to the bed was a slow and mindful one. For every step, the person involved would synchronise his/ her mind with the movement. I guaranteed it would be one of the longest walks you could ever have. He would show me how meditation and chanting could help people fall asleep and the positions where couples placed their hands on each other’s stomach could have different meanings, be it protection, domination, or equality. The following stage was to learn and feel about chakra. According to Samantha meditation, there are 7 points of chakra with a one slight different location from what I had known before. These locations include the feet, the groin area, below the navel, the centre of the chest, the windpipe, between the eyebrows and the one on top of the head. D. Explained that when we die, our consciousness doesn’t die with us and it will escape into another body. We inherit one part of consciousness from our mother and the other from our father and it is assigned with two colors, red and white respectively. There is a channel in our body that stores our consciousness and we can move it around while gathering it to increase its size through chakra points.
