One of the fundamental parts of the ecstasy you feel during sacred sex comes from the spiritual connection between you and your love partner. It is difficult to stay aware of your spiritual connection when your sex center gets very turned on unless you have trained how to do so.

Staying aware when you are very turned on physically is challenging, but incredibly rewarding. When you learn to stay aware of all that you are during the moments of highest excitement , you are in a Tantic state, a state of union between the male and female energy, between the body, the mind and the spirit, and the emotions flow freely and unencumbered like a river between the different levels.

It is a state of pleasure and deep enjoyment, a celebration of being fully alive in the NOW. When you are in this state, time stays still, and your experience of bliss is stretched and intense. The now is eternal. That is why the experience that Tantric love brings is always fresh and new.

I checked in with myself and I realized that it is more challenging to stay focused on the positive even for me .

In these difficult times of financial upheaval and uncertainty about the political future of America… it takes awareness and courage to stay centered in the heart. Awareness that we can connect with the Divine in us instead of being bound by the maze that keeps threading the mill, stuck in the survival sphere.

When the temptation to be discouraged hits me I call a friend who needs support and help her/him shift even for a brief moment to be see that support is available.  That simple act of helping my friend actually helped me make a shift in consciousness to see the positive.

No matter how unsettled our life is, it is very precious.  Make time to hug and to tell someone you care.   Equally important, especially for the givers among us, is to make sure that you cherish the hug and the support  that is available to you.

I’m sure there are other ways to shift consciousness. This approach worked well for me today.

I enjoy learning about my friends paradigm shifting moments.

Would you share with us a recent opportunity where you choose to shift your consciousness and intention?
