knowledge of left-hand-path tantra came mostly from reading written works, not from initiation.

Tantra, as you
can imagine, was an easier sell to New Age "seekers" than renunciate meditation.

So the Neo-Tantrist gurus' own knowledge of tantra, especially its higher practices, frequently has some big
holes. The yogic practices they prescribe are usually cobbled together from American hatha yoga and watered-
down tantric and Taoist visualizations and awareness meditations. These practices help, to be sure, and can
achieve some sexual and emotional healing. But they will rarely lead to an awareness beyond the physical and
pranic bodies. Tantrics seek the Source with more than just lip service.

One of the outcomes of Neo-Tantra's incomplete knowledge of tantric sexual practices is that most Neo-
Tantrists have sexual and throat centers developed way out of balance with their root, navel, heart, third eye, and
crown. Here's why:

The Neo-Tantrist elevation of the female G-spot orgasm as the be-all of orgasmic potential emphasizes the
activation of yoni chakra (a small center in the middle of swadisthana, the sex center), and the "Ahhhh"
vocalization they recommend making on exhalation opens the throat center, vishudda. The "oceanic" g-spot
orgasm is really a swadishana-vishudda orgasm. It's delicious, but real tantrics know that there are way deeper
orgasms than even the most powerful g-spot orgasm, and it, like any experience, should be enjoyed sometimes,
but not all the time. Why? There are orgasmic points deep within the vagina, known for millenia to tantrics, that
modern sexologists have only begun to understand in the last two years. And they have nothing to do with
"female ejaculation."

But they do open out a more complete bodily and non-bodily pleasure than even a g-spot orgasm. Besides,
tantrics have another focus they know is beyond orgasm...

For real tantrics, orgasms are gravy. The meal is opening the state of ananda (spiritual bliss, which is caused by
release of DMT by the pineal gland, causing an orgasm-like explosion or radiance in the brain that may last for
weeks or months...). Or even better, the experience of tremendously peaceful, though less ecstatic realization
which can follow ananda. But that's only if one learns through tantric meditation to steer the ship of one's own
mind and senses...

By today's quick-fix standards, authentic tantra is a gradual path (ironic, because traditionally, tantra is the "fast"
lane to enlightenment...) It does take a couple of years to achieve basic mastery... a very fun, awakening couple
of years... but the process opens up the possibilities of life, love, and consciousness at a level that cannot be
matched by modern modalities. Mastery of a sport or profession make take a decade or more... it certainly seems
worth the investment understand the workings of your own mind, body, and sexuality.
