Excerpts from Sex and Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy
"Even after listing sexual expansion techniques, I would still say, "Come to the bedroom with no expectations, but rather with openness in your heart for whatever happens." And you would probably say, "Yeah, well, if I could do that I wouldn't need to read this book, now would I?" And you would be right. This whole book is about regaining the unguarded openness of your heart and bringing it to sex.
Have you heard the Zen expression, beginner's mind? It's a way of being in the world like everything in it is new. There is no expectation, no pain from a history of hurts and humiliations. Everything is experienced from an alert yet unguarded place. It's a fresh, open, childlike state of mind. Practicing Tantra is one path to this clear, childlike place, but it doesn't just happen.
It takes work and training to come back to the open and loving place that is our natural state, because there's so much grief and rage to be dealt with between now and then, so much shame and guilt, and so many ideas about how we should be in love, in relationship, and in sex." "Intimacy with someone else requires, first and foremost, coming to peace with your own emotional and physical life. This is not a small task, but it is a crucial one. It takes time and courage and forgiveness, coming from you to you.
If you want a love affair that is sexually electric and truly intimate, you have to begin by unblocking and unleashing the sex force that is already inside you and learning to feel safe expressing it, in whatever way feels right to you. In order to do that, fear and rage and grief - feelings that you've learned to resist - have to be acknowledged and cleared out on a regular basis, and that alone can be one heck of a ride.
What I'm trying to say is that this whole process is going to take time. It's going to take some time, a lot of tolerance, and a lot of deep breathing. Fasten your seatbelt and settle in for the ride."
