Product Description

So many books on Tantra are obscure, obtuse and of little real use --- especially for the Western Practioner. But finally here is a book which provides a direct, honest, pragmatic, no-holds-barred approach to the most powerful methods for personal growth and spiritual attainment. Sex is one of the most powerful forces on the planet and, until it is transformed, the people and the planet will remain asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful Techniques, March 12, 2000
By Shiva "shiva" (New Hampshire, United States) - See all my reviews
The techniques in this book have had a very profound effect on me. It is a very rigorous program that combines Reichian breathing techniques (similar to rebirthing/hyperventilating) and prolonged sexual ecstacy in an attempt to activate each of the chakras in turn. The big difference with this tantric technique is that unlike most forms of Eastern Tantra, the focus is actually having an orgasm...not an ordinary orgasm but a fully body orgasm that will send you outside space and time. Believe me it will blow your mind! But as I said, the preparations are rigorous and requires real work and committment over a long period of time to obtain the results (several months on the non-sexual pre-exercises alone). It has had a profound effect on my life (for the good) and I wholeheartedly recommend this book and the techniques in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars rebirth of your Goddess, May 27, 2002
By A Customer
Secrets of Western Tantra preporatory practise demands one or two hours per week to perform a set of techniques. The actual movements given are Neo Reichian, Yogic, Tantric and Taoist. All tension is released with the breath and dissolved with your sense of feeling. It is hark work, no doubt about it. Its revealed tension and memories and makes me cry,shout AND laugh. Given me a few experiences that I wasn't prepared for, a feeling that a powerful 'energy' was radiating from my hips. It was so strong that members of the opposite sex felt it 15 feet away. Its given rise to a relaxed arousel that can be amplified to insane levels at will.One of the goals of the book is to develop the ability to have 'true' orgasms were the wholebody is involved. I haven't got there yet. The only reqiurement is practise, practise, practise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Negative Reviews Speak for Themselves, July 7, 2008
By B. Gilbert "Philosophia" (Des Moines, IA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Looking at the negative reviews you see exactly what Hyatt spends a lot of time in his book criticising. So called "Tantrics" who arn't even liberated enough to leave behind their own sexual prejudices and spiritual boogeymen. If you arn't prepared to face both your "higher" and "lower" Self then you would best leave this Work alone.
This is the best work I've read concerning Tantra. Most other Tantra books spend chapter after chapter obsessing about particulars concerning chakra details, a topic which this book deals with in one chapter. The rest is left up to the student to explore through WORK. It's the seeming simplicity of the instructions which causes this book to be so effective. Instead of endless pious affirmations towards a vauge "goddess," Hyatt's techniques put you into a mental state where the Goddess slowly becomes revealed in all her ineffible Glory (or Horror for some).
If you are really willing to LET GO and experience the Dance of Shiva, I heavily recommend this book as a cornerstone of practice.
