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 Women. Even though the book is geared for women, I find it amazingly supportive for men as well. Enjoy!

Last month's Advanced Practice evening was so amazing, even better than I had imagined. I created this class because so much of my work centers around creating a safe space for beginners to explore Tantra, and yet I have so many beloved friends who are ready to go deeper...
This Advanced Practice Evening is an opportunity for seasoned Tantrikas to explore specific, more advanced Tantric Meditations in a sacred and safe space. You will work with one partner throughout the entire evening, both couples and 'paired singles' (singles who have partnered just for this event) are welcome.
The exercises will be guided just as in a class or puja setting and guests will be encouraged to follow their intuition as their guide for the evening.

Tantra Comes to the Valley!
|
Sunday April 13th/ 6-8pm
$20 per person/ Sherman Oaks
to register click here
Until now, my beloved friends and students in the Valley have had to travel far and wide to get their Tantric 'fix'. No more! Now I am coming to your doorstep with an 'all levels' class open to singles and couples.
This class will be an intuitive, co-created experience between the facilitator and participants. We will share for a few minutes, so we can be more truly present to ourselves, and each other. The clarity and honesty with which each individual shares, sets the stage for the depth of our practice. We then explore a Tantric meditation which enables us to connect deeply with our bodies and our hearts. We also use tantric practices to share this deeper connection with each other. We are then able to experience ourselves and each other in a more profound way, as we embody the deeper levels of truth and love within us.

Students are saying:
"dearest Charu -the passage of a few days has not diminished the wonderful and powerful moments we shared with you. For us it was a bright light and an awakening of our spirit in sharing love from the inside out . It is a reminder that no matter how long we share the journey of life together we need to stay focused on nourishing our energy to keep on the path.Your caring,warmth,and quiet presence made what could have been awkward moments into a joy .
