What is a Tantra Puja?

A Puja is a prayer. In Tantra, our prayer is recognizing the divine in every human being, our temple is the body. In a Puja ritual each man will have the opportunity to partner with each woman for a simple exercise or meditation. The Tantric meditations use breath, movement, sound, and guided meditation to enrich each meeting throughout the ceremony. Attending Couples may choose to work solely with each other.

*there is no nudity or sexual contact in the class

We will explore an ancient path of meditation that invites us to embrace all of who we are as a means toward a blissful life. In this moment in history, as a society, our perspective of what is possible is extremely narrow. Meditation can help us unlock the habits and conditioning that are holding us back from experiencing pleasure in all aspects of our life.

This class is different every month to give you a unique 'date night' experience with your partner.

The Pathway to Conscious Relationship & Lovemaking

Posted on May 16th, 2009 by Charu : Tantrika Charu

The Pathway to Conscious Relationship & Lovemaking
*LIVE teleclass for women only

Many of us have never been made love to in the way that we intuitively know is possible. We assume that our lover should be able to show us the way...

Sadly, because of this we often find ourselves with lovers who can only meet us where we are at emotionally, mentally & physically and we never experience what lies beyond our personal decided limitations.

In order to receive what we are truly longing for in a partnership and to experience the kind of lovemaking that is deeply nourishing and bonding we need to begin to create that pathway within ourselves first.

Join Charu on this special Tele-class where you will be guided into a deep meditation to meet your own inner-lover and begin to discover the true potential that lovemaking holds as a tool for healing and transformation.

The best part is that by practicing this meditation, not only are you creating a space to be met by the lover of your dreams, but you are also learning to love and embrace yourself in such a way that ultimately all neediness dissolves. You will discover a feeling of completeness and an experience of pleasure from within. From this place, you are empowered to choose a partner who can truly show up for you rather than accepting scraps from those who cannot truly see or appreciate who you are.

Finally, an answer to the question, 'what is something new and interesting that we can do together on date night?'.  Not only will this class be more adventurous than your typical dinner and a movie...it also has the power to change the dynamic of your relationship, giving you all of the tools you need to begin to approach lovemaking and all aspects of your relating in a new and 'tantric' way. 

In a long-term relationship it can be difficult to make sure that you are consistently nourishing your love, connection and sex-life...Beginner Tantra for Couples offers a different Tantric meditation experience each month so you can effortlessly add a new dimention to your relating on a monthly basis.

By attending 'Beginner Tantra for Couples/ Redefining Orgasm' you are taking an important step towards transforming your sex life, and perhaps even more importantly, you are taking a step towards an intimacy that few couples allow themselves to experience.  This intimacy shifts the texture of everything you do in life and allows you to experience what you have truly been longing for in partnership.

This class is literally a step-by-step guide to support you in learning how to:

  • free blocks in your own body that are hindering your capacity for pleasure
  • deeply and intimately connect with your partner in totally 'out of the box' (no pun intended) ways
  • receive guidance specific to men and specific to women about how discovering the essence of your gender can actually enhance your relationship and sex-life
  • learn a simple ritual that will connect you and your partner on a completely new level....one that can immediately be put into practice when you make love

Tantra Life!
Tuesdays . 7:30-9pm
$30 per person
Culver City . charu@embodytantra.com

Tantra is a powerful path of meditation which focuses on bringing awareness and presence to the body

Learning to integrate Tantra and live a Tantra Life is a process of surrender. That process is facilitated by the meditations. Practicing them on your own is a part of it, and gathering together to immerse ourselves in the essence of who we are is a sure-fire way to accelerate the process....not to mention how fun and delicious it feels.

This weekly class is my offering to you, a chance to spend at least an hour and a half a week immersed in Tantra. I invite you to leave your mind at the door and allow this to be your vacation from your life as you know it. A place where you can allow yourself to be surprised by the possibilities and experience yourself fully.


Embody Tantra is currently looking for support with a few simple things listed below...if you are interested in supporting in exchange for attending this event please contact us directly.

1. audio recordings of events (with simple editing)
2. transcription of recordings

Tantric Orgasm

Posted on Apr 12th, 2008 by Charu : Tantrika Charu
Couple

What is an orgasm exactly? 

Most of us have come to believe that an orgasm is that moment after a build up of energy in our genitals when we experience a feeling of 'explosion' or 'release' and usually a drop-off in energy after.  Often when we have this kind of orgasm, we create tension in the body and hold our breath in order to 'achieve' it.  We are usually referring to a sensation from the past that we would like to experience, and we are dreaming of the future when we will again be filled with that rush of pleasure.....all fine, but what about being here and now?

Any meditator knows that the thought behind any and all forms of meditation, inculding Tantra, is to be totally present to what is happening NOW.  The idea is that beyond our thoughts from the past or the future, lies the true bliss that this moment has to offer.

In Tantra, we say that we are actually orgasmic beings.  Which means that when we are totally present to this moment, in our body, and we are free from tension and blocks, we are actually in an orgasmic state.  WHOOPIE! 

Suddenly, this makes meditating sound a lot more interesting...

So, if I am an orgasmic being....then why would I spend my energy trying to 'have an orgasm'?  I don't need to.  What would happen if when I experienced that feeling of arousal in my genitals instead of tensing my body and thinking of how I want to have an orgasm, what if I relaxed my body and allowed the arousal to show me a new sensation?  One that is not based on the past or the future, one that is unfolding right here and now in my body.

The truth is that there is MUCH more pleasure available for us than we have allowed in.  The Tantric meditations have been one of the tools that have allowed me to discover the pleasure in my body, but the most powerful discoveries have come from within.  The moments when I have dared to relax my body and allow it to take me to the places that I may have been avoiding while I was heading for my precious 'orgasm'. 

What my body has shown me is a sensation of aliveness running all through me, arousal encompassing my entire body, a feeling that I can best describe as sitting in the center of the 2-3 second orgasms I had become accustomed to.  This pleasure can stretch out forever because it is simply my natural state, rediscovered.  I can experience this state throughout my lovemaking, and beyond that I can experience it in everything that I do.  Sipping a cup of tea, working at my computer, chatting with a friend.  The only thing that is required is that I keep breathing, relax my body, and allow life to surprise me.

For more information about how you can discover this orgasmic state check out one of Embody Tantra's April classes or read more about it in my very favorite book Tantric Orgasm for WomenEven though the book is geared for women, I find it amazingly supportive for men as well.  Enjoy!

What is Tantra to you?

Posted on Apr 10th, 2008 by Charu : Tantrika Charu
I asked some of my students what Tantra is all about and they came forward with the most amazing answers...below is the first of many.

"I have a strong conviction that there is an immutable kernel of goodness and love within each and every one of us.  I also believe that we are all connected in the form of a Oneness or Spirit that is all of us and is at once more than all of us.  I am seeing tantra as a way of connecting more consciously to that Oneness through the goodness and love that we have within us.  It is a method of finding our way within to that love, and then to honor and join with the love within others, in a beautiful overarching Namaste. 
 
It is not a stretch to verbalize that belief. It is much more of a stretch to follow it and not to be distracted by the maya and temptations in our everyday lives. 
 
I loved what you said about sitting with whatever there is in the world and saying, "That's all right, there is no need for change, it is what it is and it is all good."  I took that very much to heart and am working with it."  ~Vicki
