When faced with grief we often ask, “When will I begin to feel better? When will I return to normal? When will I be able to breathe again? When will I achieve some closure?” The idea of closure in our culture is one of tidy endings, a sense of completion.

We would like to shut out the sad, confused, desperate, angry feelings from our lives, putting all of this pain behind us so that we can feel joy again.r

TANTRA: The Art of Conscious Loving® By Charles Muir & Leah Alchin It is generally accepted that there was a “sexual revolution” which began in the mid-sixties. Many feel that this revolution is dead, some having tried all there is to try sexually, and growing bored with it.

Tantric wisdom states that as a woman awakens, her sexual center (second chakra), she naturally awakens her spiritual power.

One way to increase your overall Awareness and Psycho-Spiritual sense of power and aliveness is by not having all of your behaviour, movements and actions run on automatic but instead controlling some of them. A practice I recently saw a group of Japanese Buddhists do is "extremely slow walking". Starting in the morning, they would walk 300 feet by evening. This amount of self-control seems impossible for most of us Westerners. But even only taking 1% of their attitude can improve your life. Choose a day on which to do everything just a little more slowly. Walk down the stairs more slowly.
