"The most comprehensive and clearly written work on contemporary Tantric sex. An exceptional detailed program for both the beginner and the advanced practitioner." -- Herbert A.Otto, author of Total Sex "This landmark book on human sexuality makes the sacred lovemaking techniques of the East fully comprehensible to Western readers. Elegantly illustrated, it helps the reader acquire new attitudes and broaden his or her range of experience, to revitalize and strengthen relationships. " -- Ingram "If more women and men practiced the rituals in The Art of Sexual Ecstasy, pairbonding could be transformed into erotic coupling, with our sexuality and spirituality becoming one." -- Betty Dodson, author of Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving One of our greatest sources of pleasure and one of our greatest sources of disappointment is sexual intimacy. Margo Anand has helped thousands of people who were bored or disenchanted with sexuality learn to connect deeply with their natural sexual energies, and with the spiritual experience that connection brings. As a result of her seminars they have been able to break new ground - transforming their sexual lives from a routine behavior for reducing tensions or a simple effort at making contact to a truly intimate, deeply fulfilling, sacred experience. In this step-by-step, elegantly illustrated course book, Margo presents the training she has done worldwide, which is based on ancient Tantric and Taoist practices that are fully adapted and made understandable to Western lovers. She guides readers through creating a special environment for lovemaking, removing psychological fears and resistances, increasing arousal, and improving compatibility. Her wide range of methods to enhance pleasure and deepen intimacy include visualization, breathing, massage, ritual, movement, and fantasy. The sexual secrets revealed in this book include: Prolonging pleasure by learning to remain fully aroused while fully relaxed Expanding orgasm from a localized sensation to a full body experience Achieving multiple orgasm for both men and women Healing a lack of sexual sensation Using self-pleasuring alone and with a partner to overcome sexual inhibition and increase sexual self-reliance Learning the maps of male and female sexual anatomy Recovering from sexual trauma Getting comfortable with safe sex And, ultimately, transforming sexuality into a profound and ecstatic spiritual experience.
