The art of surrender embodied
The heart of tantra is not sex, but meditation. However, the deep power of sexual energy must be integrated consciously to be able to support you in your life rather than doing the opposite.
To be able to teach tantric meditation we first need to learn the basics of somatic meditation. Even thought the essence of tantra is not sex but meditation we still need to take into account our sexual nature. This training is including how to move from the basis of somatic meditation into more sensual and sexual aspects of meditation. Therefor the training can be used also for you who only want to teach somatic meditation. If you not yet feel grounded enough in your tantric self experience to feel ready to teach tantric meditation, you can use it as a somatic meditation teacher training for now and maybe add the tantric elements to your teaching later on. During the course you will be guided in the difference between these elements. You can join the training even if you have no intention to teach at the moment, to deepen your own meditation practice.
Neither mind nor sexuality need to repressed during meditation. In this training you will learn how to befriend your mind, body and sexuality as having the functions that they are meant to have in your life so that they contribute to your meditative experience and your life experience rather than creating problems.
The training is based on ancient non dual tantra that guides you into being intimate with life as it is. Seeing, or rather feeling, beyond the projections of the mind, resting into reality and life as it is moment by moment. Within this practice you will get a deeper connection to your body and its inherent wisdom. Including the flow of life force energy, kundalini and your sexual energy. Allowing for the mind to realize its oneness with the body will diminish internal conflict and invite you to feel more at peace with what is.
Everything is approached by the method of self inquiry for discovering who and what we are in our depth as human beings. You will be invited into exploring your capacity and willingness to feel.
Content:
Both somatic and tantric meditation can be done alone, in pairs, in groups of different sizes. The training will include how to teach these different elements. We will also explore the difference of meditation in stillness and in movement.
Most of the mediation is done in silence, but there will also be elements of verbal communication within the mediation. This will be done as somatic communication, a way of communicating with each other from the wisdom of the body, which is a very powerful and transformational way of communicating in any relationship, not least the one you have with yourself.
Elements of conscious touch and ”touch without touch” will be included as one of the methods to teach tantric mediation. You will never need to touch anyone without your full consent and part of the training will be about how to live and teach boundaries and consent around them.
We will inquire into how to relate to and position your body in different kinds of meditation and common challenges for meditators and how to deal with them.
We will also adress how to deal with the powerful kundalini energy in meditation situations, in sensual and sexual situations and in life as whole. And from there also touch upon the intimately connected subject of life purpose and what we are here to give. How does life want to serve though us?
Depending on how integrated you are in your own experience this training can give you the tools to facilitate:
Somatic Meditation
Tantric Meditation
Somatic Self Inquiry
Somatic Communication
Conscious Touch
Boundaries & Consent
Meditation in Movement
This training will be given in English unless all participants happen to be Swedish. The instructions you need to teach will be given in both English and Swedish.
