Book Description

March 26, 1996
Why do we often feel sad after intercourse? In the West, the emphasis has been on the physical pleasure and satisfaction of the individual. This is to miss out on a whole exhilarating dimension that has long been recognized and thoroughly explored in eastern traditions: the spiritual dimension.

Drawing from eastern traditions such as Taoism and Tantric Buddhism, erotic literature from China and Japan and the celebrated treatises from Persia and India (The Perfumed Garden and The Kama Sutra), The Spiritual Traditions of Sex shows you how you can tap into the great circle of energy that flows through the universe, how to transform a physical act into a loving, focused ecstatic meditation where souls share, exchange and reinforce each other's energies.

Clear explanations of the philosophies of these great traditions and a series of simple, practical and pleasurable exercises are given to help you understand and learn the techniques from the east. The Spiritual Traditions of Sex will show you how the energy and ecstasy of sex can restore balance and harmony to both body and soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars If new to sex as a spiritual practice, THE place to begin, April 11, 1999
This review is from: The Spiritual Traditions of Sex: A Unique Look at Sex as a Spiritual Experience (Hardcover)
The author's ability to describe centuries old Eastern spiritual/sexual intentions and practices in contemporary terms made this book a favorite of mine. I doubt I'd be pursuing the topic had I not happened upon this small treasure. This book is a gift to anyone dissatisfied with the single dimensional nature of Western sexuality.
