Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In Ecstasy Through Tantra, Dr. Jonn Mumford celebrates the joyous and mystical depths of sexual love. People are more open about sex today, and so it is now possible to talk openly about going beyond mere joy, beyond the physical and emotional aspects of sexual union, to the ecstasy of union with Divine Power that is centered in every body and throughout the universe.

In the pages of this book you will learn that you do not need to go to the top of a mountain to commune with Divinity; Its temple is the body, Its sacrament the communion between lovers, and that communion involves all the awesome powers of the universe in the microcosm of the lovers.

You will learn mental and physical exercises aimed at developing that psycho-sexual power. Once you have mastered those techniques, you will find explicit instructions for using sexual activity to achieve your goals on earth (magic) and on the spiritual planes (bliss).

Ecstasy Through Tantra is filled with magnificent original illustrations as well as ones from ancient sources. There are many exclusive photos of ancient temples and erotic sculptures in India, as well as color photographs of couples demonstrating sexual positions for the arousal of kundalini in Tantric practice.

This groundbreaking book is your guide to the world of sacred sexuality.




From the Publisher
Dr. Jonn Mumford has been writing books on Tantra for almost forty years. In Ecstasy Through Tantra he presents his extensive knowledge in a practical way that you can use to change your life.

This book skillfully interweaves theory and practice so you can understand why you are doing any exercise as you learn the technique. You will start with simple exercises you can practice by yourself. One of the exercises helps women to reach orgasm more easily and allows men to control when they want to reach orgasm. Another exercise helps a woman to become more easily aroused and encourages potency in men.

This is all in preparation for the greatest of secrets: sex can become sacred. Instead of short periods of pleasure and joy, you can have hours of bliss as you bring the Divine into your pleasure.

Full, explicit instructions for all of these techniques are included. The book is filled with beautiful ancient and modern illustrations of loving couples. There are photos of erotic sculptures and even color photos of couples showing the secret sexual positions for ultimate bliss.

This book is meant for individuals and couples looking to expand their sexual lives. It is more than Tantra, for it also is a full course in sexual magick, including the "Mass of the Holy Ghost" by Israel Regardie. There is an entire weekend worth of Tantra written by Donald Michael Kraig, and I have contributed the introduction and a chapter on the importance of love and romance in sacred sexuality.

This is one of the most spiritual, powerful and important books you will every read.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE TANTRIC RESOURCE!, January 3, 2001

By A Customer

Fantastic!

This book has proven to be a continual resource of information. It is multileveled, so the beginner and serious student both benefit. Through theNsimple exercises you will learn valuable methods of making love not only to others, but to yourself, awakening mystical union and opening to alchemical transformation. Dr. Mumford has created a rare resource book, authentic through his extensive experience in initiated practices in India, filtered through a western mind to be an easy to read approach and grounded through scientific and medical knowledge. Few other resources have such extensive training. Through the mirrors of Dr. Mumford's expansive research, the vision of Tantra becomes clearer...Patricia, tantra teacher,

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, helpful, and fascinating, December 6, 2000

By	me (CA) - See all my reviews

I highly reccommend this book. It describes the background and philosophy of Tantra without losing the reader. It also provides a guide to Tantric practices, with pictures and instructions, which are easy to follow and positive. This book will show you how to achieve new heights of happiness and enligtenment with the help of a loving partner or alone, although most of the book is geared towards couples and how to work together. I think any couple that reads this book together will benefit their relationship and their individual psyches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ecstasy Through Tantra, September 1, 2000

By	Lidia Rodrigues (USA) - See all my reviews

Ecstasy Through Tantra is, without a doubt, one of the best Tantric Yoga books I have ever read and one I often recommend to clients and friends whether they are new to Tantra or have some knowleldge of it. Students of all levels will be able to find something in Ecstasy Through Tantra. The beginner will gain an excellent understanding of Tantric Yoga after reading the book and the intermediate and advanced student will benefit from practicing the powerful techniques which are presented in such a beautiful and masterful way. Ecstasy Through Tantra is not just another book on the subject of Tantric Yoga. It is rather an insightful, beautiful and practical manual of Tantric Yoga, sexuality and spirituality with very valuable information for the Western mind. Ecstasy Through Tantra is a must for the serious student, practitioner or teacher of Tantric Yoga. Lidia Rodrigues, LICSW, Body Oriented Psychotherapist, Yoga, Meditation and Tantric Yoga Teacher.
