he 7 Nights of TANTRA are the classic techniques of Tantric training for
couples. First, in this new stage of development, through the senses and inner feelings of your partner, there appears a new, much extended capacity of perception of your own sexuality, as well as a complex way of sensing the very fine processes rought aout in yourself y your partner. T On the way to the edification of this new capacity to perceive amplified, you will learn to overcome false modesty and inhibition you will achieve a new candour and honesty. The Nights of the TANTRA become Nights of total control of the sexual energies. These techniques not only bring the control itself, but also develop a deep communication between the an and the !oman "geared" in the unavoidable amorous play, when they together try to reach new heights of ecstasy. These techniques should be performed, if possible, on seven consecutive nights. This is however not essential. They can be performed successfully even every second or seventh night. The shorter is the gap the better the results, due to the continuity of the process. The techniques must e performed in the order given here. #f, on a certain Night of TANTRA the control is lost, and explosive orgasm occurs, the best solution is to stop the ritual and to observe the one$hour rule. After one hour, start the whole series all over again %from the first Night of TANTRA&' Food The Tantric boo(s recommend for these Nights a single meal) light food. !ight. The lighting in the rooms is very important. The Tantric texts specify "a place with four lanterns lit, if daylight be absent". The sense of sight is extremely important. At least two lamps or several candles must lighten up the room. Remember) "TANTRA abhors dar(ness"' The sexual organs. All tantric texts mention the care of the sexual organs as being of utmost importance for hygienic and aesthetic reasons. #t is further more stated that the purification of the sexual organs increase their sensitivity, which will be noticed during the practice of the described techniques. *or women it is recommended periodically to shave of the pubic hair in order to increase the sensitivity and the solar aspect. The first night of TANTRA
On the first Night the couple should sit beside each other, but without any touch. A little alcohol$free wine or any another soft non$alcoholic drin( %best mil(, or coconut mil(& can be served. The couple is only allowed to gently (iss, the man staying absolutely passive. The woman undresses him beginning with the shoes, soc(s, trousers, sweater, shirt and underwear. As she removes each item, she should loo( at, but not touch that part of his body she has uncovered, while mentally repeating the awareness mantra. Thus she would be able to overcome any shyness about using the mantra in front of her partner. Once the man is totally na(ed, he removes her clothes the same way she did his, mentally repeating the awareness mantra, loo(ing at that part of her body he has +ust uncovered. Now the awareness ritual begins. The man rather than focusing on his own reflection in a mirror will focus on his partner in front of him. ,e says the awareness mantra, and extends his fingers and thumbs to touch her lips, then to touch the nipple The Tantric Master brought them together, Male and Female, for the first Night of TANTRA. And the Master spoke: "ou ha!e made "our commitment to each other b" "our presence. ou shall know the ecstas" of iva and aktis, as "ou mo!e upward in search of the perfect union which transcends all and brings the true enlightenment." And the Tantric Master guided them, each and both, through the ritual.
of each breast, then the abdomen, and then his hands slide downward through the pubic hair to rest on the pubic bone. At each point he repeats the awareness mantra, and focuses his ga-e and concentration on the parts being touched. Then the man drops his arms to his sides and closes his eyes tightly, forming an image of his partner in his mind %+ust as he used to form his own mirror$image&. ,e (eeps his eyes closed while she guides his hands first to her lips, then to each nipple, then to the abdomen, then to the mons !eneris. .he pauses at each point until she has heard %or felt& him say the awareness mantra and (nows he is ready to proceed to the next point. The ritual should proceed slowly, so that each partner may en+oy touching and being touched. The man will (eep the image and sensory impression of each part of her body he touched in his mind, while his eyes are closed. Then the woman in the same way starts by loo(ing at the man/s body as she did with her own mirror image in the awareness ritual. .he loo(s and concentrates as she moves her hands %index fingers and thumbs& to the man0s lips, then to each nipple, then to his abdomen, then sliding both thumbs and index fingers downward along the abdomen through the pubic hair, to encircle his penis +ust at its base and exert a slight, squee-e. At each point she stops long enough to say the awareness mantra. .he stares at the man, then closes her eyes tightly, to form an image of the man clearly in her mind. .he then extends her index finger and thumbs to him. The man, eyes open, ta(es her hands and directs the thumbs and index fingers to his lips, then to each nipple1 then to the abdomen, then downward on the abdomen to the base of 2ingam $ which is encircled and squee-ed as before. The man holds the woman0s hands at each point until he has felt her say one awareness mantra. The !oman (eeps her eyes closed while (eeping in her mind the yantra$image and sensory impression of each part of the man/s body she touched. Now embrace, then part and sit across the table in front of each other. .it quietly for a moment, then +oin hands across the table and say one awareness mantra. At this point there should be no conversation. Now you must separate, each to a different room, or each in his turn leaving the room. Once alone in her room, the woman assumes the Awareness Ritual position, nude, on her bac(, soles pressed together, and goes through the awareness rituals, proceeding to the 3ontrol Ritual. #n another room the man li(ewise performs both techniques. #t is compulsory that these rituals should be performed alone. Try not to be distracted by the (nowledge that your partner is in the next room doing the same thing. #t is precisely this increased sexual stimulation requiring increased control that is necessary to achieve the Tantric goal. Once you have finished the channelling ritual, begin repeating the control mantra again, loudly. !hen both partners hear the other saying the control mantra loudly they rise from their position and meet again. This moment requires great control. 4oth of you have been stimulated to the point of orgasm, and you/ll be fighting for control. Of course you will be obviously aware of your partner/s arousal1 the penis remains erect, the nipples may also be flushed and erect, the clitoris and labia distended. 5our two glasses of mil( %or whatever adequate drin(&, sit across from each other at the table, +oin hands and repeat the control mantra. Then sip the drin(, without conversation. Repeat, as much and as often as necessary, the control mantra, in order to (eep absolute control. The channelling mantra should be used during the next one hour. #t will be most effective in this charged air of sexual excitement and energy. !hen both of you feels the attainment of complete control and has used the channelling process you may begin to spea( to each other, avoiding any physical contact. #f you feel the control slipping away, repeat the control mantra, and the all$important control mantra imagery. The control imagery wor(s best, whether alone or in the couple situations, when you say the mantra and at the same time "write" the words of the mantra in large white letters on the blac( void of imagery. Thus, the mind doubles its concentration, and the control is obtained much easier. Now you may have some food. 6ou have an entire hour for intimate verbal communication. Only after this hour has passed you may ma(e love or you may do whatever you want. After ma(ing love, you should (now that though your body is going through the postcoital period of satiation called "resolution", there remains within you a fantastic supply of sexual energy and concentrative force. This can the best be utili-ed, as you go to sleep, by using the channelling mantra and "antra image, to help you achieve other goals in your life. "#n this way are you +oined beyond your physical union, beyond pleasure, beyond time, as one.7 The second night of Tantra.
On the second night, the an undresses the woman as on the first night repeating the awareness mantra as he removes each item of clothing until she is totally na(ed. Then the woman undresses him, saying the awareness mantra as each article of clothing is removed, until he is completely na(ed. Then, the woman and man face each other, and perform the previous night/s adaptation of the "mirror" awareness ritual, first with eyes open, then with eyes closed. The partners then embrace each other and (iss, long and probingly $ but with no stimulation other than the (iss itself and the closeness of the bodies embracing. The couple then enter the bathroom. A hot, steaming tub of water should be drawn. #n case of absence, a shower may be used. The man seats himself in a tub of water. The woman on her (nees in the tub washes his shoulders, bac( and chest. Then, she washes his genitals, avoiding any attempt to sexually stimulate the genitals. The washing action itself with soap and cloth, then rinsing, will prove stimulating enough. The man should then step from the tub, and the woman should dry his body with a warm towel. Now, depending on the individual wishes, the same water or fresh clean water may be used. The man washes her bac(, shoulders and breasts. Then, the woman rises to a (neeling position in a tub, and the man washes her genitals, avoiding any extra genital stimulation. Then, the man dries her with a warm towel. The intimacy of the bath will heighten once more the awareness of each other0s bodies and will help remove any inhibitions between the partners. The Tantric texts carry this "removal of modesty" a step further by stating that if either of the partners, desires to urinate prior to getting into the tub of water, it should be done in front of the other partner. 8iewing yet another normal function of the partner/s body will not only heighten intimacy but, more important it will enable the partners to overcome shyness allowing others to witness moments usually regarded as personal and solitary. Now, as in the first night, you separate, each to a different room. After the awareness rituals and the control rituals have been performed you meet again at the table. There may appear, as in the first night, difficulties concerning the control but anyway, you must fight for it, until it has been attained totally. The "writing" of the mantra on the "antra imager" is the (ey of attaining and maintaining the control. The 3hannelling mantra is repeated as often as desired in this atmosphere of charged sexual energy and power. 9rin( some mil( and eat the repast. On this night Tantra permits a slight reduction to the one$ hour rule, for a purpose. !hen forty$five minutes have passed, you should sit on the bed opposite each other. The woman should raise her (nees, then spread her feet and (nees as far apart as is comfortable for her. The man should sit so that his legs are across the woman/s thighs, his feet on either side of the her buttoc(s. This is (nown as "the Contemplative Position of TANTRA". 6our hands should rest on each other/s (neecaps. #n this position genitals are open to see, yet the bodies are slightly separated. 4egin softly to say the awareness mantra. 2oo( first at each other/s faces, then at the nipples of the breasts, then at the navel, and finally at the 2ingam or yoni. !ithout moving, each should loo( and concentrate on the genital of the other. The awareness mantra should be said twice. Then close your eyes and bring into your minds the imagery of the other partner/s sex organs. At this point the "antra imager" should become more vivid and the imagination should create pictures of the partner. The man should imagine the woman/s vagina opening and ta(ing his lingam deep within her. Once this imagery has been attained, the partners should begin the control mantra and open their eyes. This will bring on a resurgence of sexual stimulation. aintain the position without moving, through recitations of the control mantra while The Tantric Master spoke to the Female and Male: "No secret part of "our ph"sical self shall "ou keep hidden from one another. ou shall look upon the bod" of the other as "our own# upon the mind of the other as "our own# upon the pleasure of the other as "our own. $eek to know e!en the smallest part of the other, and share the smallest part of "ourself. Therein lie the pleasures and the powers that can be "ours." loo(ing at the other/s genitals. Then close your eyes and use the channelling mantra and %mager". Then the partners embrace and ma(e love as they wish, with total abandon %but not of the 3ontrol though'& and +oy. :n+oy the heightened arousal this ritual has brought. !hen you lie close to sleep, don/t forget, as you fall asleep, that powerful energy forces are still at wor( within your subconscious mind. The third night of TANTRA Again the food is set on the low table, and you drin( some mil(. !hen he has finished the mil(, the man begins to undress himself, with the woman watching him. !hile standing in front of her, the man (eeps his eyes closed. Then begins the awakening ritual, bringing the fingertips to apply pressure to each nipple in turn, then resting the fingertips on his abdomen and sliding them downward to the base of the penis, which he encircles with the fingers the usual way. :yes closed, the ale holds the imagery of his actions in his mind, and says the awareness mantra as he touches each part of his body. .he watches each movement intently, paying attention to the manner in which he applies the pressure to each part of his body. Then she undresses, removing each garment slowly. ,e watches from a seated position. Na(ed in front of him, she closes her eyes. Now she begins the awakening ritual, touching with her fingers first the lips, then the breasts, the nipples, sliding them down the abdomen to exert awareness pressure on the yoni. At each point she pauses long enough to say the awareness mantra once, and during the ritual she (eeps the "antra imager" of her actions firmly in mind. 4oth partners should have used the awakening ritual often enough to say the mantra without hesitation. There should be no shyness about it with the partner watching. #ndeed the purpose of this exercise is to remove any remnants of inhibition between the partners, as well as to aid a new dimension to their awareness. !hen the woman has finished the awakening ritual, they embrace and (iss each other1 the touching of their lips and their bodies is the only contact between them. Now, as on the previous night, they proceed to the bath. The Tantric texts are explicit about the bathing process as a part of these exercises but the emphasis is on the bathing of the genitals %hips and anus included& and the breasts. *or example the tub may be filled one$third and the man and the woman alternately (neel in the warm water, while the other one washes breasts and genitals with a warm soapy cloth, drying off the partner when she or he steps from the tub. Any of these variations of the bath will serve equally well, provided you wash and dry each other. The partners should wal( together to the bedroom, which will be adequately lighted. Now the man should lie on the bed, assuming the awareness position, (nees apart, soles of feet together, hands folded across the abdomen. The *emale should sit passively at the foot of the bed, so that she can watch without having to move. .he should pay quiet, concentrated attention to each move made by the ale, noting particularly the precise manner in which he touches himself. The ale should close his eyes, and begin by saying the awareness mantra, while fixing in his mind a vivid image of himself. !hen the image is firmly fixed, he begins as follows) *irst he holds his hands over his belly, at the navel, then touches his lips. 6antra imagery and mantra should stay fixed in the mind for this and all other movements. Then your hands return to the abdomen. Next, the index fingers and thumbs move gently to roll the nipple of each breast. 6our hands return to the abdomen, and then move down the abdomen through the pubic hair. Now return the hands to the abdomen, say the awareness mantra three times, and then repeat the ritual. This is a deviation from The Tantric Master spoke: "Female and Male draw their &o" from the centres of pleasure each comprehends within the other. 'ach ser!es the other, gi!es to the other. Then in turn each is ser!ed and recei!ed. And thus the chain of pleasure is unbroken# the energ" created, magnified# the power o!er the uni!erse, attained. %n ritualistic praise to (A)% shall the Male seek to control his great power for pleasure as he de!otes his mind and bod" to gi!ing pleasure to the Female. )ikewise, in ritualistic praise to MA*A(A)A, shall the Female control all energ" and capacit" for unlimited pleasure within herself and de!ote her mind and bod" to bringing pleasure to the Male". the focusing ritual, where usually the second phase is only the imagery of repetition. This time actually move the fingers and thumbs to the lips, nipples, abdomen and penis again. After pressure is applied to the lingam the second time, relax your hands but (eep them on the lingam, saying the mantra again, as the index fingers move downward, following the outline of the scrotum to its deepest perceptible base, within the scrotum, exerting +ust enough pressure for pleasure. Then touch the perineum, exerting pressure. .lide the fingertips to the rectal muscles, applying inward pressure. Then return the hands to the base of the lingam, encircle it and apply pressure. Return your hands to the abdomen and relax1 then say three awareness mantras. Then open your eyes and sit up. At this point there should be not discussion of the ritual. 3oncentration on the ritual itself should be of prime importance. Now, the woman lies on the bed in the same position) hands folded across the abdomen, (nees apart, soles of the feet pressed together. !ith the eyes closed she repeats the mantra and establishes the "antra imager" of herself. There should be no rush. :ach facet of imagery must be attained before the ritual begins. ,e sits passively, quietly, at the foot of the bed. Now, she brings her fingers to the lips, then return to the position on the abdomen. 4ring the fingers to the breasts, touching and rolling the nipples in a pleasingly, sensual manner, then return them to the abdomen. Now, slide the hands slowly down the abdomen through the pubic hair, across the mons !eneris, to rest on the entrance to the yoni. The thumbs slowly part the labia and the fingers exert pressure on the clitoris. Return the hands to the abdomen and say three awareness mantra +s. Then repeat the ritual. The fingers on the lips, to nipples, then to the abdomen, down across the mons !eneris to the yoni. The thumbs part the vaginal labia, fingers exert pressure on the clitoris. Now, don/t return your hands to your abdomen, but allow them to relax on the yoni. Then slide the index fingers downward until they touch and exert pressure on the perineum. Then return your hands on the yoni, open the labia and exert pressure on the clitoris. *inally return the hands to their crossed position on the abdomen, and say three awareness mantra +s. After the partners have completed the Awareness techniques, they sit around the table and say the awareness mantra. Then go to separate rooms and once again, individually go through the Awareness ritual. 5roceed then to the ,ontrol Ritual) stimulate yourself to the verge of orgasm and control the orgasm to prevent it occurring. Once control is attained, go through the ,hannelling Ritual. !hen the ,hannelling Ritual has been completed, the partners meet at the table, having the repast. !hen necessary, use the ,ontrol mantra and ,ontrol "antra imager" to maintain control. !hen "# minutes have passed, the partners sit as in the previous night, opposite each other, feet flat on the bed, legs apart1 the man with his feet resting on either side of her buttoc(s1 the hands resting on each others (neecaps. 3oncentrate now on each other0s genitals, while repeating two times the awareness mantra. The woman removes her hands from the man0s (neecaps and leans forward from the hips, and cups his genitals. ;eeping her palms up she rests the index fingers and thumb of each hand on either side of the base of the lingam and scrotum. .lide the index fingers downward, until they are under the base of the scrotum, then close the thumbs around the top of the lingam, close the palms of your hands, and cup the lingam and testicles within your hands. Apply pressure, holding them only tightly enough to be aware of their presence in your hands. The man repeats the awareness mantra as he contracts the muscles of his groin, in the manner set forth in the yantra$ic body exercise done alone. !hile contracting the muscles, he says the awareness mantra again, and closes his eyes, forming the imagery of muscular contraction, with the "tubes7 and "filling" as specified. ,is eyes stay closed. Then he relaxes the muscles. The movement of the contraction along with the imagery should be very noticeable to the woman, who says, "# feel". The man (eeps his eyes shut. ,e then repeats the muscular tightening, imagery and mantra, holding the contraction as long it is comfortable. And a third time he contracts his muscles, while holding the imagery, his eyes closed, saying the mantra for the third time. ,e then relaxes. The woman then relaxes the index fingers from beneath the scrotum and slides them upward, so that the fingers and thumbs are encircling the lingam at the base. Thus she exerts slightly more squee-ing pressure and slowly pulls her hands, along the shaft of the lingam to the top. .he then returns her hands to the man/s (neecaps. At this point the man will have an erection. #f he is aroused to the point of distraction, he should repeat the ,ontrol mantra aloud, so that the woman will (now to wait for him retaining control. Only the specified actions are to be done by the woman. .he should do no additional fondling, stro(ing, or massaging and handling of any (ind. Now the couple both say the ,ontrol mantra twice, to reinforce their control. The man then moves his right hand from her (neecap and leans forward from the hips, while the woman remains passive, with her eyes closed. ,is right thumb and index finger part the labia, ma(ing an effort not to touch or to stimulate the clitoris. Once the labia are parted, slowly and gently insert the right index into the yoni, the palm of the hand up, the thumb and other fingers (ept in a "fist", out of the way. ,e holds his finger completely still and concentrates on feeling the "pressure" of the vaginal muscles. .he then proceeds with the imagery of this ritual as when performed alone. Then she relaxes the muscles. ,e says, "# feel" as he does indeed feel the vaginal muscles move against his finger. A second time the muscles are contracted, the imagery reinforced, the mantra said1 then the contraction is relaxed, after being held as long as possible. A third muscular contraction is now done, held as long as possible, the imagery maintained, the mantra said. After she has again relaxed her muscles, the he pulls out his finger of her, exerting a slight upward pressure, across the clitoris, too. Then without hesitation again place your hand on your partner/s (neecap. #f, at any point of this ritual, either partner feels overwhelmingly aroused, she or he should immediately begin to say the control mantra. 4y performing this ritual in the ,ontemplati!e -osition, after the solitary ,ontrol Rituals have been completed, and the One ,our has passed, the ritual furthers Awareness, the muscular contractions of the ritual are "shared", and another aspect of control $ the (ey to Tantra, is achieved. Then the couple should go to bed, to en+oy each other and the increased awareness of each other, without thought of anything but their own pleasure. And when sleep is upon you, you should ease into the restoring pleasure of sleep with the ,hannelling mantra and the ,hannelling "antra %mager", using the great storehouse of energy and concentration you have gathered. Though the Tantric aster may not be physically present during the .even Nights of Tantra, his or her presence is felt as the rituals are carried out. The Tantric aster spea(s to the emotions, body, mind and spirit.
The fourth night of Tantra The couple meets at the table and drin(s some mil(. !hen the glass of mil( has been drun(, the man stands and slowly removes his clothes as the woman watches. Then she undresses as he watches. Now stand facing to face, (iss and embrace, then wal( to the bath washing each other as in the previous nights. Then again return to the table, and sit quietly for a few minutes. After this assume the ,ontemplati!e -osition of Tantra. !ith your hands on each other/s (neecaps, say three awareness mantras. .he leans forward to grasp and cup his genitals as she did last night. Once his genitals are cupped within her hands, the she says, "#/m ready". Then the he is to follow the procedure precisely as he did last night) three contractions, with her saying "# feel", as each contraction is relaxed. After the third contraction, the woman slides her hands along the shaft of the lingam, to the glans, squee-ing with index and thumbs. Then she relaxes her hands on his (neecaps. After three mantras are repeated, the he leans forward and insert his right index finger slowly into her yoni, following the same procedure as before. The bond of TANTRA is formed between the woman and the man through the rituals. As the Tantric Master sa"s: "Ask not the others understand the &oining of "our bodies in pleasure, nor "our minds in comprehension, nor "our spirits in understanding. The" who ha!e not e.perienced cannot know. $eek not to e.plain, for words will fail "ou. /pen instead "our bodies, minds, feelings and spirits onl" to those who ha!e shared the e.perience of the rituals. The" will understand. And "our sharing of knowledge through e.change of words with other Tantrics can ser!e to create further understanding within "ourself." Once the index finger is in place in her yoni, and the other fingers are in a fist to prevent their touching the outer areas of the yoni, she contracts her muscles three times, relaxing after each contraction, at which point the he says "# feel". After the third contraction, he slowly withdraws his finger, with a slight upward pressure towards her clitoris and rests his hands on her (nees. The couple now should return to the table and remain silent for a minute, directing their attention to the mantra and remaining parts of this ritual. .tand up, embrace, (iss and wal( to the bedroom. The man lies on his bac( on the bed, in the Awareness ,ontrol -osition, (nees apart, soles of the feet pressed together. ,e closes his eyes and establishes the imagery of himself, while saying the awareness mantra. The woman sits at the foot of the bed, +ust beyond his feet. 9uring this ritual she should not move, and she is not to touch him or herself. The man now begins the Awareness Ritual, with some modifications, as follows) ,e brings his hands from the abdomen to his lips, holds the yantra image, says the mantra, then return his hands to his abdomen. ,e brings his hands to his nipples, says the mantra, rolls the nipples with pleasing pressure, holds the imagery, repeats the mantra, then returns his hands to his abdomen. ,e slides his hands downward, through the pubic hair, to the base of the penis. ,is fingers and thumbs surround the base of the penis and squee-e while he holds the imagery and says the mantra twice. ,is fingers slide along the underside of the base if the penis, to its ultimate perceptible roots within the scrotum, where he applies pressure and holds the imagery and says one mantra. ,e relaxes his hands on his genitals. ,is fingers slide around either side of the testicles and the tips rest on the perineum, pressure is applied, the image held, the mantra said twice. ,is hands relax on his genitals. ,is fingers slide downward, across the perineum, to apply pressure on the muscles at the entrance of the rectum1 the imagery is held, the mantra said twice. ,is hands relax on his genitals. ,is hands slide upward to the base of the penis, fingers and thumbs encircle the lingam1 pressure is applied while two mantras are said and the imagery is held. At the end of the second mantra the encircling pressure on the penis is maintained and the thumbs and fingers encircling the lingam are drown upward, along the shaft of the lingam, over the glans, and away. Then, immediately the fingers and thumbs return to the base of the lingam, encircle it again, squee-e and slide along the shaft to the tip and away. This action is repeated until a full, firm erection is attained. Then he begins masturbating, as he does alone in the 3ontrol Ritual. ,e will of course be aware of the woman watching him. That is all the more reason he must maintain his imagery and attempt to masturbate, as he would do normally, if she were not there. ,e must maintain his position on the bed, eyes closed using the imagery and mantra. The woman without moving should observe closely the movements of the man as he masturbates. ,e should not be distracted by her presence. ,e should be neither shy nor out of control because she is there. The purpose of the exercise is to remove yet another remnant of self$ conscious inhibition and further establish the power of control. ,e continues to masturbate until he feels orgasm Approaching. At this point he should immediately cease, return his hands to the abdomen, and repeat the ,ontrol mantra, with the control "antra imager" of the "written words", until he has attained control. ,e will strongly desire to reach out for her and ma(e love and the ritual may have the same effect on the woman, who will wish to satisfy herself and him because of the stimulation that has aroused them both. $ut control is the %ey& ,e must call upon the ,ontrol mantra and "antra %mager" with all his power of concentration. As soon as control is felt, the man should switch from the ,ontrol mantra to the ,hannelling mantra and "antra imager", and ma(e full use of this supercharged power to channel the energy to other concerns. ,e may also intersperse the ,hannelling mantra and imager" with the ,ontrol mantra and imager", to help himself maintain control. 9o not tal( at this time. !hen he steps away from the bed, she slowly stands up and lies down in the prescribed position for her Awareness Ritual. .he closes her eyes and brings to mind the same "antra imager" as when she performs the ritual alone. .he must use great concentration to fix and sustain the imagery1 to avoid being distracted by the man0s presence. Though he has control of himself, he has developed a powerful energy, built up by carrying himself to the verge of orgasm. *or this reason the observation of the woman during this ritual will be extremely stimulating, and while watching he may have to close his eyes on occasion and bring forth the ,ontrol "antra imagery, and say the ,ontrol mantra %to himself&. ,e must under no circumstances, touch her or himself during the course of the ritual. The woman fixes the "antra image strongly in her mind, says the Awareness mantra, then proceeds with the Awareness Ritual and then the ,ontrol Ritual with modifications as follows) .he brings her hands from her abdomen to her lips, touches them lightly, says the mantra once, holds the yantra and returns her hands to the abdomen. .he next brings her hands to her breasts1 her fingers slide over each breast, to grasp the nipples and roll them gently, feeling the warm sensation while saying the mantra twice and holding the yantra. .he returns her hands to her abdomen. Then her hands slide slowly down the abdomen, through the pubic hair, across the mons veneris, to rest on each side of the yoni opening. ,er thumbs open the labia of the yoni and the index finger press on the clitoris while two mantras are said. Then she relaxes her hands. .he moves her hands downward until the fingertips rest on the perineum. ,er fingers press on the perineum as she says the mantra twice. Again her hands relax on the yoni. The hands move downward, across the perineum, to the muscles at the entrance of the rectum. ,er fingers apply inward pressure on the rectal opening. The mantra is said twice. .he returns her hands to the yoni, and her thumbs open the labia as far as possible while her fingers press on the clitoris. !ith fingers and thumbs, she begins masturbating, as she does when she practices the ,ontrol Ritual alone. .he will be aware that he is watching her, and she must attempt to masturbate as she would normally. .he must maintain the position on the bed, eyes closed, using the imagery and the mantra. The ale, without moving, should observe closely the movements of the *emale. ,e need concern himself only with the way she touches and massages herself, to bring her closer and closer to orgasm. The *emale should be neither self$conscious nor out of control because the ale is present. .he should continue to masturbate until she feels orgasm approaching. Then she should immediately cease masturbating, and switch from the yantra of masturbation and the Awareness mantra, to the imagery of 3ontrol, saying and writing the ,ontrol mantra on the blac( void of her yantra. ,er hands should immediately return to the abdomen. .he may now have a very strong desire to reach out for the man, draw him close and ma(e love. And he may be feeling the same desire. Remember: Control is the key! And control must be attained and maintained by the woman now, as it was by the man earlier. .he must pull herself away from the impending orgasm, using all the power of concentration of the yantra and mantra to bring about the control. Once she has attained control, she should switch from the ,ontrol "antra and mantra to the "antra and mantra for ,hannelling, ma(ing use of the great power that she has generated. .he may alternate between the control mantra and "antra image, and the channelling mantra and "antra image, using each in turn, maintaining control and utili-ing that control and energy to the fullest. Once the woman feels she has a complete control and she has finished her 3hannelling, she may open her eyes. !hen she and the man loo( at each other in this highly charged state, they must continue to exercise their controls, to avoid any desire to touch or to stimulate. *or this reason it is recommended that they should not tal(. <se the "antra and mantra of ,ontrol and the "antra and mantra of ,hannelling as needed and desired. The One$,our Rule, in full, is to be observed this night. Once each of you is sure that 3ontrol was attained, tal(s may begin and the repast may be ta(en. :xchange fran( and honest ideas and feelings on what you have +ust witnessed and felt. #f you feel the resurgence of stimulation and desire, use the ,ontrol mantra and "antra imager". !hen one of you sees the other suddenly close his or her eyes, you should be aware that control is being called forth1 and silence should prevail as long as either partner is see(ing control. The recognition of the closed eyes as a signal is a part of the Tantric bond between you. The purposes of this ritual are obvious) =. To remove shyness. The act of masturbating is usually a solitary one. 4y allowing your partner to witness this very private practice, you have removed another vestige of modesty and self$ consciousness. >. Removal of inhibition. #t may have proven difficult to go through the process of masturbation while being watched, particularly if your partner has never observed you before. 4y going through the act, to the verge of orgasm, you have removed an inhibiting influence within you. That is why there must never be any fa(ing of impending orgasm. #t must be carried out "for real", or you miss the Tantric purpose. ?. 3ontrol. 3ontrol on the part of both partners, 3ontrol through concentrative "antra imager", though your partner is present and watching1 3ontrol of orgasm under this difficult circumstances1 3ontrol to prevent either of you from engaging the other in sexual relations, even under the highly stimulating conditions. @. Awareness. A different Awareness) An Awareness of how your partner, in the private moments of masturbation, prefers to be stimulated1 how he or she handles and fondles and massages and stimulates himself or himself. !ith this (nowledge, you are able to be a better love and sex partner to each other. 6ou should openly discuss these four aspects of the ritual. ,onesty will lead to a greater mental and emotional awareness of what you (now physically. This is the doorway through which Tantric lovema(ing will ta(e all couples $ opening the way to communication about all facets of lovema(ing1 leading the way to communication about he accompanying emotions, guiding the way to greater mental and spiritual understanding between the partners, even to coordination of the 3hannelling efforts. 6our sexual relations will reach new levels of ecstasy and union. The bond created by Tantra is a special bond. #t is hardly expected to be understood by those who have never experienced the openness of the ways of Tantra, or the 3ontrol. At the end of their hour, the couple may go to bed to ma(e love. 3all forth the ,hannelling "antra and mantra as you relax your bodies and minds and drift into sleep. 3hannelling can ma(e awa(ening each morning as brightly stimulating as the lovema(ing of the night before. The fifth night of Tantra. The climb becomes more precipitous with this ritual. The setting is the same. Once again the couple should drin( a little mil( at the table, after which the woman slowly removes her clothes, being watched by the man. Then she sits and he removes his clothes. Totally na(ed you (iss and embrace, then wal( to the bath. The now regular procedure of the bath is to be followed. Then you sit in the 3ontemplative 5osition, your hands on each other/s (nees. 6ou say three awareness mantras. Then the woman leans forward to cup the man/s lingam and testicles as in previous practice of this ritual. ,e then proceeds with the muscular contractions. After the third contraction she slides her hands along the lingam0s shaft, returning her hands to his (nees. Three awareness mantras are said and he removes his right hand from her (nee, leans forward and inserts his index finger into her yoni. .he proceeds with her muscular contractions as in the previous nights. After the third contraction he removes his finger from her yoni, tracing it slightly across the clitoris, then bac( to her (nee. .he lies on her bac( in the Awareness -osition, (nees apart, the foot soles touching, hands folded across the abdomen. ,e sits on the bed esides her, with his buttoc(s alongside her stomach, avoiding any contact between them. ,e sits facing the head of the bed, loo(ing down at her breasts, and his hands in his lap. The woman closes her eyes, says three awareness mantras, and then fixes all her concentration on the yantra image of Awareness. 'n this ritual you are to do only as directed. The man ga-es down at the woman, her eyes closed tightly. ,e says the awareness mantra twice. ,e then slowly lifts his hands and places the index fingers of both hands on her lips, running The %nitiates asked of the Tantric Master: " %s not the goal "ou set for us be"ond our grasp0 And the Tantric Master replied: "As "ou became aware of "our Tantric being through "ou ha!e performed alone, so "ou can become aware of the being of the Tantric who shares "our pleasure. And as "ou ha!e sought to master "our bod"1s pleasure through the rituals, "ou now become the instrument b" which the Tantric who shares "our awareness and pleasure shall increase pleasure and master it. 2here the goal easil" grasped, it would be of no !alue. %t is the master" of pleasure that shall multipl" "our pleasure. %t is the multipl"ing of pleasure, and the master" of its new heights, that shall mark each step along the climb upward to total master" of life and the uni!erse." them along the outline of her lips, softly, as he says three awareness mantras. Then he relaxes his hands in his lap. At this point the man quietly swings around in the bed, facing the foot of the bed, loo(ing down at the woman/s legs, yoni and abdomen. .he maintains her position without moving. .he says the awareness mantra as he touches each part of her body, and she holds the image of herself on the bed, each part of her body in turn being touched by him. ,e now places his hands on top of her hands, which are resting on her abdomen. Then he slides his hands downward through her pubic hair, across the mons veneris, to rest on either side of the yoni, as he saw her do in her awareness and ,ontrol Rituals. Then with his thumbs he parts the labia of her yoni, and his index fingers press on the clitoris, stro(ing it gently as he says two awareness mantras. Then he lets his hands lie on the top of the yoni. ,e says two awareness mantras. Then he slides his fingers slightly along the labia, downward to the perineum, where he presses with the tips of his index fingers while saying two awareness mantras. Once again he allows his hands to relax. After saying two awareness mantras he uses his thumbs to part the labia. ,is fingers again press on the clitoris. !hen he presses the clitoris, the woman will tell him that. #f his fingers are not exactly where she wishes them to be on the clitoris, she should ad+ust his fingers to the precise spot where she desires his fingers to press on the clitoris. ,e should note, by feeling and by loo(ing closely, %mostly by feeling& precisely where the pressure is desired. This is important. Then he should remove his fingers from the clitoris, allow the labia to close and rest his hands on the yoni. ,e says two awareness mantras. Then he slides his hands again downward along the labia, across the perineum, until his fingertips touch the muscles of the rectal opening, where he presses and says three awareness mantras. Once again he relaxes his hands atop the yoni, while he says the awareness mantras twice. Then he uses his thumbs to open the labia, and presses with the fingertips on the clitoris. ,e says the awareness mantras twice, slides the index finger of his left hand into the yoni a short distance, while his right index finger and thumb begin to massage the clitoris and he begins to stimulate her, trying to duplicate, as closely as possible, the actions he has saw when she was masturbating. The man must not enter into any other action except the act of stimulating her. No part of his body should touch hers, except the hands he is using to stimulate her. The woman must hold onto the imagery she has of herself being stimulated by the man. .he says the awareness mantras over and over as her stimulation intensifies. .he must not move her hands from the abdomen until she feels the approach of her orgasm. !hen the orgasm is impending, she grasps his arm or shoulder, and begins to use the control mantra along with the ,ontrol "antra image. .he should reach for him with force, pressing her fingers into his flesh, to signal to him that she is switching to the control mantra and yantra image. ,e should remove his hands from her yoni immediately. This signal will be used in many other areas of Tantra and it must be obeyed by the recipient. ,e is not to add even one additional stro(e, touch or movement. ,e ceases touching her completely. And since he has been touching her yoni and watching the stimulation of the woman, he will also find himself in a very sexually stimulated condition. ,e too should start saying the control mantra and using the control "antra image. This is one of the most difficult points of 3ontrol in Tantric exercises. They are both in the throes of intense sexual stimulation, and there may be an almost overpowering desire to deviate from the exercise and engage in sexual intercourse. This must not occur. #t is the control that will eventually bring a hundred times the pleasure. 4ut the control must be attained and maintained. !ithout the control there is no Tantra. The other goals are worthless if the control is not learned and made a part of the ritual. #t may ta(e time to master the 3ontrol. #n fact, you may even loose control in this highly stimulated atmosphere of the rituals. #f so, cease the ritual and try it again after a few hours, or repeat it the following night. The woman, using her control mantra and "antra image, will bring herself in complete control, and then alternate between the control mantra and "antra image and the channelling mantra and "antra, which will help her reinforce the control and at the same time put the powerful energy forces of her state of stimulation to use in other areas. !hen the woman starts with the control mantra and "antra, the man should rise and stand several feet from the bed, in order to watch her attain control, and at the same time achieve his own control, to prevent him touching or otherwise stimulating her or himself. Once she has attained control and maintained it while using the ,hannelling "antra and mantra, she should try to relax on the bed. Then she opens her eyes and rises from the bed. .he must avoid touching the man. Now it is the man/s turn to lie on the bed, on his bac(, (nees apart, soles of feet touching, eyes closed. ,e says the Awareness mantra three times and establishes the image of himself on the bed, the woman seated next to him. .he holds her hands folded on her lap, facing the head of the bed, loo(ing down at his face and chest. No part of her body may touch his. 4ecause he has been stimulated masturbating her, his control may be under great pressure at this time. Once he has established his image, he says, "#/m ready". .he then raises her hands and touches his lips with her fingertips, running them along the outline of the lips, and saying two mantras. Next her hands move to his breasts, resting palm down on them. Then the thumb and index finger of each hand hold and roll the nipples gently while saying two mantras. Then her hands return to the relaxed position on her lap. The woman now swerves her body around, so that she is facing the foot of the bed, loo(ing towards his legs, abdomen and genitals. .he places her hands, palms down, on top of his hands folded across the abdomen. Then she slides her hands downward through his pubic hair, and encircles his lingam with forefingers and thumbs, applying squee-ing pressure saying three mantras. 3ontinuing to hold the lingam at its base she slides her fingers up the shaft of the lingam to the glans. #f he has a firm erection, she ta(es the tip of the lingam between thumbs and forefingers and slowly squee-es it, watching as it actually diminishes in si-e. This will diminish the sensitivity of the glans, ma(ing control easier for him. Then she releases the lingam allowing her hands to relax on either side of his sexual organs, saying two mantras. ,er fingers slide downward to the lingam to its perceptible "base" within the scrotum. .he maintains the pressure there through two mantras, she then lets her hands relax on either side of the lingam and testicles. Then her fingers slide downward, around the testicles, under them, to press on the perineum. The pressure is maintained through two mantras, after this the hands relax, but stay where they are during two more mantras. .he again slides her hands downward, until her fingertips touch the muscles at the rectal opening. The fingers press inward on the rectal muscles, while three mantras are said. Then the hands slide bac( up to relax on either side of the lingam. Three mantras are now said. Then the thumbs and index fingers encircle the lingam and slide upward along its shaft. At this point the woman begins stimulating the man, emulating as closely as possible the motions she saw when he was masturbating. .he should not become alarmed if she notices a bead of lubrication liquid forming at the opening of the head of the lingam. This is normal for men in a high state of sexual excitement, and does not mean that he is about to have an orgasm and e+aculate. This bead of liquid is in fact used as a sort of natural lubricant in masturbation. 4ecause he entered into this exercise already in a highly stimulated condition, it may not ta(e long for him to get close to orgasm. As soon as he feels the first approach of the orgasm he should reach for her, grasping her shoulder with sufficient force for her to be aware that this is the signal. As she receives this signal, she should remove her hands completely from him. ,ere it must be emphasi-ed again that the man must pull for complete control, including overcoming any desire to have the woman bringing him to orgasm. Otherwise the entire purpose of these Tantric exercises will be lost. !hen he senses the approach of orgasm, as when he stimulates himself, he must immediately signal to her, and allow her to move away from him. ,e must at once start using the control "antra image and the control mantra, to bring about the needed control. The woman should rise from the bed to wait silently and to watch as he attains control. ,e will alternate between the ,ontrol and ,hannelling, until his aim is reached. Only then can he open his eyes and get up from the bed. ,e must avoid touching her, and she him. Now you may have your repast. 6ou use the control "antra and mantra as needed, respecting the other/s control and being silent during the ritual. 6ou should now tal( about the ritual and exchange thoughts and feelings, as you eat. At the end of the hour, you have accomplished one of the more difficult exercises of Tantra. 6ou may now enter into lovema(ing anyway you wish. The extremely charged stimulation of masturbating will bring incredibly heightened pleasure to your lovema(ing. 6ou will be more aware then ever of your own sexual sensitivity, and that of your partner. The control you have exercised will result in Tantric orgasms of greater power and duration than any you have ever (nown. Once your sexual wishes have been satisfied, Tantra reminds you that every night, for the rest of your life, you should fall asleep utili-ing the ,hannelling mantra and "antra image, to help your life become more what you want it to be, through the use of the same energy source that has brought you the pleasure of this night. The sixth night of Tantra. As in the previous nights the couple shall drin( a little mil(, or soft drin(. Then the man removes his clothes. The ritual goes on as in the previous nights. After the bath$ritual repeat the Awareness mantra. The couple sits facing each other in the 3ontemplative 5osition of Tantra. Now the rituals using the muscular contractions are followed completely as they have been in the previous nights. Then the woman lies in the Awareness -osition. The man sits besides her, to her right, without touching her, loo(ing down at her head and breasts. .he closes her eyes, calls forth the "antra image of herself, and says three awareness mantras. !ith his eyes open he says the awareness mantra twice in his mind, raises his hands and traces with his index fingers the outline of her lips. Then he cups her face in the palm of his hand, and trying not to touch any other part of he body, he leans over and touches her lips gently to her lips and (isses her while saying three awareness mantras to himself. Then he sits, hands in his lap. .he is not to respond to the (iss, except to part her lips. .he is to concentrate only on the feel of his lips and tongue. ,e says the awareness mantra twice, then he places his hands on her breasts, palms down, then he ta(es each nipple between index finger and thumb and rolls the nipples gently. Then he removes his left hand from her right breast. ,e (eeps his right hand on her left breast, and massages it gently as he leans over and ta(es the nipples into his mouth, gently suc(ing it while he runs the tip of his tongue around the nipple while saying three mantras. After this he sits up. ,e also removes his right hand from her left breast, and places his left hand over her right breast, massaging it gently and leaning forward to ta(e the right nipple in his mouth, suc(ing gently and running the tip of his tongue around the nipple saying three mantras. Then he sits upright. Now the man swings around to loo( down on the woman0s legs, genitals and abdomen. ,e places his hands atop the woman/s hands on her abdomen, then slides them across the mons veneris, allowing them to lie on either side of the yoni opening. ,e opens the labia with his thumbs and presses on the clitoris while saying the mantra three times. Then he slides his hands downward until his fingertips press on the perineum as he says the mantra three times. Then he relaxes his hands on the yoni. ,e slides his hands downward so that the fingertips move across the perineum and touch the rectal muscles, exerting inward pressure and saying the mantra three times. ,is thumbs open the labia and his fingertips exert pressure on the clitoris, while he repeats the mantra three times. Then he allows the labia to close, his hands staying on the yoni. ,e leans forward and brings his head to the vaginal area. ,is lips touch and (iss the inside of the thighs, first left, then right, his tongue tracing a path from inside the tight downward to the side of the yoni. ,is lips touch and pull into his mouth the labia of one side of the yoni, the tongue moving bac( and forth on the labia as the suction is maintained. Then he releases that labia, and repeats the action with the labia on the other side of opening of the yoni. Then his tongue traces the outline of the vaginal orifice and than enters the yoni opening, he will then slide his tongue bac( upward toward the clitoris, which he will stimulate slowly with his tongue. Then his lips encircling the clitoris, he will create a slight suction and draw the clitoris between his lips and begin to stimulate it with the tongue. At this point she may move her hips and body in response to him though she should maintain the basic position (nees apart, feet together. The couple stood before the Tantric Master, who spoke to them: "ou ha!e tra!elled far on the climb upward. our initiation nears its end. et 3uestions remain. 4uestions, which "ou shall answer "oursel!es, through gi!ing to each other. As "ou embark this night, "ou shall each e.plore the other in still another wa", to gain Tantric knowledge each of the other. ou shall not refrain or withdraw. The ritual will bring new delights. And in its pleasures "ou shall know greater master" o!er self and others. "our bod" is as the instrument of the master musician. %t is to be pla"ed in all possible combinations. /nl" in this wa" will "ou e.plore the gatewa"s towards the creati!e master"." ,e should remain totally aware of her responses and when the response is strong repeat the stimulation, which created that response. ,e may insert his right thumb into her yoni, without moving it to create additional stimulation. ,e continues oral stimulation, suc(ing, probing, (issing, and lic(ing $ to bring her towards orgasm. ,e must not touch any other part of her body, and she must (eep her hands crossed on the abdomen. .he must not touch his body. !hen she feels orgasm approaching she signals to him by grasping his arm. !hen he feels her grasp he immediately removes his mouth and hands from her yoni and sits up. ,e then moves away from the bed. .he will switch to the ,ontrol mantra and "antra imagery then to the 3hannelling mantra and "antra. .he will return her hands to her abdomen, retain the position and pull for the 3ontrol that is so vital, while hi is watching silently. 4oth partners must attain and maintain complete 3ontrol. Only through such 3ontrol can the whole concept of Tantra be learned and put to wor( for you. 4y now the couple has already learned that the preceding exercises have begun to ma(e a difference in their sexual and emotional relationship, and that the 3hannelling has begun to ma(e a difference in their life. !ith each new conquest of 3ontrol the subsequent values of that 3ontrol become more and more evident. .he should then rise from the bed and stand up. The couple must neither touch nor tal(. They will continue to reinforce the 3ontrol they have attained. ,e should lie down on the bed in the Awareness -osition. After he has attained a relaxed 3ontrol she should sit on his right side. !ithout touching him, she loo(s down at his face and chest. ,e (eeps his eyes closed. .he raises her hands, running the index fingers and thumbs along the outline of his lips while saying three times the Awareness mantra. Then her hands cup his face and she leans forward, to place her lips gently against his. .lowly she runs the tip of her tongue along his lips, while saying three mantras in her mind. 9uring this (iss he should remain passive, concentrating on the imagery of what is being done and the feelings created. .he then pulls her mouth away from him and sits up. .he says the Awareness mantra three times. Then she places her hands, palm down, on each of his breasts. .he slides her hands to grasp the nipple of each breast between a thumb and index finger and rolls them gently. Then while her right hand remains on his left breast, she removes her left hand from his right breast. !ith her right hand she massages the left breast, then leans over and suc( the nipple into her mouth, running her tongue bac( and forth over the nipple while saying three mantras to herself. Then she removes her right hand and her mouth from his left breast and sits up. .he now places her left hand on his right breast, leans forward and suc( the nipple into her mouth and runs her tongue bac( and forth over the nipple while saying three mantras. Then she removes her lips and left hand from his right breast. .he turns quietly to loo( down on the ale/s abdomen, genitals and legs. .he says the mantra twice. .he places the palms of her hand on his abdomen, then slides them down to the pubic hair to the base of the lingam, which she encircles with her thumbs and index fingers. .he squee-es while saying three mantras, then slides her index fingers and thumbs, still squee-ing the lingam, from the base upward away from his body, along the shaft of the penis to the glans, holding the glans between fingers and thumbs, then pulling her hands away from the penis, to rest on either side of the genitals. .he says two mantras. ,er fingers trace the underside of the lingam down into the scrotum, where she applies pressure while saying three mantras. The fingers now trace downward again, around the testicles to touch the perineum, the fingertips applying pressure on the muscles at the rectal entrance. .he repeats three mantras and relaxes her hands. Now she returns her hands to rest on the sides of the genitals. ,er index fingers and thumbs encircle the base of the lingam and squee-e as she leans forward until her head reaches the lingam. At this point she cups the testicles with her left hand. ,er index finger and thumb continue to encircle the base of the lingam in a tight grip. .he now uses her right index finger and thumb to press the erect lingam "upward" until the glans touches his abdomen. .he then places her lips against the outline of the tube$li(e urethral outline on the underside of the lingam, at the base and slides her lips slowly along the outline, toward the glans. !hen her lips reach the glans, she lifts her mouth away and using her right hand holds the lingam in an erect, natural angle, perpendicular to the man0s body. Then slowly she allows the entire lingam to slide into her mouth, ta(ing as much of it as she comfortably can. !hile suc(ing, she slides her head away from the base, towards the glans1 then downward again toward the base. ,er right hand should not leave its grip encircling the base of the lingam. Now her movements will be guided by the man0s response. !hen he reacts strongly to a given action, she should repeat the action and bring him closer and closer to orgasm. ,e is to lie passively. ,e is not to touch her in any way. Nor is he to allow 3ontrol to get away from him. ,e must, at first sign of impending orgasm, signal to her by grasping her arm or shoulder. .he should immediately sit up and get up from the bed. ,e must give the signal in time to prevent the orgasm. ,e should have mastered this in previous exercises, and that mastery will now prove its worth as he struggles for 3ontrol under these difficult circumstances. Once having given the signal, he should immediately switch to control mantra and "antra image, until he feels that 3ontrol was achieved and it can be maintained. Then he uses the channelling mantra and "antra image, to direct the great store of concentrative energy that have been amassed. After he has attained 3ontrol and finished the 3hannelling, he should stand. The 3ouple should now silently sit at the table. !hile eating, enter freely into a discussion of the ritual with the understanding that you will respect each other/s need for 3ontrol. And each of you will use the "antra and mantra for ,ontrol as often as necessary, for the One$,our rule is in effect. The Tantric use of cunnilingus and fellatio serves a dual purpose, which should be clear. The intimacy of such acts bring about a more total understanding of the partner, and the acts themselves provide a basis for further removal of all inhibitions between the partners. #f fellatio and cunnilingus have been a part of your sexual relationship before, then the intimacy, stimulation and desire to please are reinforced through the deliberate ritualistic approach provided in this Tantric ritual. #f you have not been engaged in oral sex before, then an entire new area of intimacy without inhibition and shyness is entered. Through these rituals you will learn the extent not only of your own 3ontrol, but also the 3ontrol your partner is capable of maintaining. This sharing of each other/s 3ontrol capabilities brings about a deeper feeling of trust. After having the repast, you may retire to see( whatever pleasures you will. #f oral lovema(ing has not been a part of the foreplay or satisfaction in your relationship before, it now will be. #f it has been a part before, the Tantric approach should heighten its meaning and pleasure. !hether there has been lovema(ing or not the channelling mantra and "antra should by now be as much a part of the process as closing your eyes1 a natural, easy prelude to sleep. And one that will ma(e each day of TANTRA and of the rest of your life better then the one before. The seventh night of Tantra. The instructions for this ritual should be read in connection with the "3ontinuation" paragraph, which immediately follows. The table is laid out with food and mil(, the couple is seated, drin(ing a glass of mil( or soft$ drin(s together. Then they wal( to the bathroom. After the 4ath$Ritual is performed, the couple assume the ,ontemplati!e -osition and begins the ritual. !hen the muscular contractions are completed, they stand and wal( to the bedroom. The woman lies on her bac( in the bed in the Awareness -osition, (nees apart, soles of feet pressed together. The man sits on the bed besides her. .he (eeps her eyes open. Now he goes through the ritual, as directed. As he proceeds, she must tell him honestly and openly the feelings of stimulation and arousal that each of his action is creating within her. ,e will not only become more familiar visually with each area of her body, but will also have a more definite (nowledge of which of his actions is most pleasant and stimulating. ,e touches her lips and she tells him her feelings. ,e (isses her lips and she tells him what her feelings were. The Tantric Master spoke: "The &o"s of $hakti and $hi!a are "ours. ou share the pleasures. ou speak of the pleasures. ou each know "our pleasure and the pleasure of the other. "Mo!e together, "et separatel" into this night and all nights of "our life. 5raw e!en new pleasure. 6i!e e!er+increasing pleasure. ,reate greater energ" to master. ,reate the Tantric )ife from "our own being. They each now say the Awareness mantra twice. ,e touches and massages her breast, then rolls the nipples between index fingers and thumbs, then (isses the breasts. .he describes her sensations, telling him how she feels. ,e now turns on the bed, facing the feet. ,e runs his fingertips and thumbs along the abdomen to the yoni1 opening the labia1 applying pressure to the clitoris. Then he relaxes and she describes her feelings. Now he runs the fingertips to the perineum, presses, and then relaxes. .he describes the sensation to him. Then he moves his hands bac( to the yoni, parts the labia and begins a slow prelude to masturbation, pausing as he stimulates each area, or alters his action, and she relates her reaction to each movement and point of stimulation. ,e now bends forward and begins to orally stimulate the yoni area, the labia, the vagina, and the clitoris. As he (isses each area, the *emale describes her sensations. #t is not the purpose to stimulate her to the point of orgasm, but to give him a deeper understanding of the woman0s body and a deeper Awareness of her responses. .he is to concentrate on each action done by him and attempt to verbali-e as accurately as possible what she is feeling1 whether one action is more or less stimulating then another, etc. Then the partners change their position. ,e assumes the Awareness 5osition as she sits beside him, facing the face of the bed. ,e lies passively and, as she performs the prescribed actions, he describes the sensations he is feeling. .he touches his lips, and then she (isses his lips. .he then relaxes. .he leans over and massages his breasts, then rolls the nipples between index fingers and thumbs, then (isses the breasts. The ale tells to her how this feels to him. .he now turns around to face the foot of the bed. .he slides her hands down the abdomen and encircles the base of the lingam, squee-ing. ,e describes his feelings, in detail. As she does each of the following, she will pause afterward, relax her hands and wait for his description of his sensations. .he draws her encircling fingers along the shaft of the lingam, still maintaining the squee-ing pressure, and pauses at the glans. .he squee-es the glans itself, and then relaxes her hands on either side of the lingam. ,er fingers trace the underside of the lingam downwards to its base within the scrotum. Then relax. ,er fingers then slide downwards to the perineum, exert pressure and relax. ,er fingers slide downward further to the rectal muscles, exert pressure and relax. After he has described the sensations at each point of pressure, she allows her hands to relax for a few moments before proceeding to the next. ,er right index finger and thumb now encircle and squee-e the base of the lingam1 her left hand "cups" the testicles. .he leans forward and begins orally to stimulate him. ,e describes the sensation of each movement. Once .he has gone through each of the phases of oral stimulation, she removes her hands and mouth from his genitals and sits up, away from him. They must understand that this is a ritual based on increasing Awareness and communication. #t is not intended to create stimulation, though the actions of the ritual itself are stimulating. 3alling for control through the control mantra and "antra image should not be necessary because the actions should be only cursory and not proceed sufficiently to bring about the approach of orgasm. ,owever they should now both utilise the control mantra and "antra as they sit apart for a few minutes. !hile using their 3ontrol, they should not tal(. The use of 3ontrol, now, before the next phase, is vital. 4oth partners must be in control for the remainder of the ritual. ,e now lies on the bed in the Awareness -osition. ,e closes his eyes tightly and says three control mantras, and brings forth the control "antra image, "writing" the words of the mantra on the void of his mind. .he stands up and waits. !hen he is sure within himself that he is in control, she sits next to him and encircles the base of the lingam with the index finger and thumb of her right hand. aintaining squee-ing pressure, she slides her fingers upward along the base of the lingam, to the glans, across the glans, and releases the lingam. #f the lingam is stiffly erect, this act is done by the woman only once. .hould the lingam not be completely erect, she returns to encircle the base a second time, and repeat the action. This action, it must be reminded, is only from the base to the glans, over the glans, then releasing. !hen the lingam becomes erect, she ceases the action. Then she straddles his pelvis, facing his head. ,er straddling position should be "on her (nees" with her torso erect. .he now reaches down and again encircles the lingam with her right index finger and thumb. ,er left hand is on her tight or wherever it is comfortable and helps her maintain balance. .he raises herself over the lingam and guides it into her yoni, then lowers herself over it, until the lingam is comfortably in her yoni as deep as possible. .he sits very still and he remains still. .he places her hands on top of the his hands, which are folded across the abdomen. .he closes her eyes tightly. ,e now focuses his imagery on the muscular contractions. ,e concentrates on the muscles and "tubes" within his lingam, envisioning them filling as he contracts the penile, groin, and abdominal muscles. ,e holds the contraction for as long as he can, then relaxes it. .he will feel the contraction$movement within her yoni, and when it is relaxed she says, "# feel". ,e now repeats the contraction and relaxes again. After a moment of concentration, he does the contraction a third time, holding it as long as possible, then relaxing. They both sit silently, +oined in this position for a few moments. .he, with eyes still tightly closed, now focuses her imagery on the vaginal muscles. Once the imagery and concentration are at the desired level, she contracts the vaginal muscles as tightly as possible, holding the contraction as long as she can, then relaxing. ,e will feel the vaginal muscles contracting around the lingam. !hen she relaxes the contraction, he will say, "# feel". A second contraction is to be done by her, after which she relaxes again. Then she does a third contraction, and holds it as strongly and for as long as she possibly can, before relaxing. The couple stays in this position quietly, exercising control while calling forth the control mantra and "antra %mage to help them maintain the control. ,e now relaxes his legs and she begins to move her hips in whatever manner is pleasing to her and him. They start ma(ing love in the A!oman on top position7. They may pursue their pleasure in this position by whatever movement of their bodies, touching and stimulating they desire $ but they must maintain (ontrol. 6ou must always stay aware that you both are see(ing to (eep control intact. !henever one of you feels orgasm approaching, you must signal the other by grasping her or his arm. At this point the action must stop, while control is attained. The couple must remain in this position of intercourse, until each has reached a point, at least once, of having to stop the action to attain control. The control mantra and "antra %mage combination should be brought into use by oth partners, whenever either one signals for a cessation of movement to attain control. 4y doing this, lovema(ing can continue almost indefinitely $ with the control of both partners. After each has attained control at least once in this position, she should remove the lingam from her yoni, and lie down beside him. They should now begin to pursue their sexual pleasure in whatever way they wish. The Tantric asters recommend that alternating the active and passive roles of sexual relations ma(es the maintenance of control somewhat easier, and prolongs the pleasure even further. *or example) The couple disengages from the !oman on top position. ,e (isses, stimulates, fondles, masturbates, and performs cunnilingus on her, pausing each time she see(s to maintain control. ,e may then turn his body over to her, as she in turn may concentrate on (issing, fondling, masturbating, and oral stimulation of him, remembering to respect his desire for control, and stopping her actions at whatever point he signals her that he needs to attain control. The same signalling and cessation of movement while control is sought applies to whatever position of lovema(ing you use, be it the man above or on your side, or rear entry, or seated in a chair or literally whatever your imagination can conceive. All that is important is that (ontrol e maintained . And, by practising control in every lovema(ing situation, control becomes easier to attain and maintain. Add sexual foreplay and intercourse itself can be prolonged as long as you wish. Then you can also indicate when you are reaching forms of Tantric orgasm. ore of the nuances of this control in Tantra are discussed in the paragraph following this, and elsewhere in this course. After you both have been sexually satisfied, lying entwined, bring your ,hannelling "antra and mantra into focus. Then you may ta(e your repast, and tal( honestly about your love and lovema(ing. 6ou have now completed the .eventh Night of Tantra. 4ut this is the beginning point, not the end. A continuation
The .even Nights of the TANTRA, and the Rituals for !omen and men individually have provided the basic concepts of Tantric lovema(ing, leading to greater enhancement of your sexuality, greater awareness of yourself and the partner, 3ontrol of the vital energy of sex, and the ability to channel those energies into all areas of life. :ach day, the basic yantra image of all the exercises should be brought to mind and focused upon. Time should be set aside for the yantra as a form of Tantric concentration. *or with the yantra, you maintain the control and the ability to 3hannel. The rituals themselves should be a scheduled part of every day. #f at all possible the basic elements of the 3ouple rituals should be practised. On any given night that the couple is apart, or there is no opportunity for practising the ritual as a couple, the solitary rituals should be carried out, including the control ritual. !hen you ma(e love, you should adhere to the basic awareness that your relationship is now a Tantric one and should include repetition of 3ontrols and 3hannelling, within your lovema(ing, not only to reinforce the controls, and to use constantly the Awareness and 3hannelling, but because each reinforcement of control brings more control and heightens sexual ecstasy even further. One of the next parts of this course deals with other special techniques and notes on Tantric concepts. !hen these are studied, it will be made even clearer the myriads of ways in which the ale, *emale and 3ouples/ rituals may be carried even further, for the enrichment of sexual pleasure. Now you are in control of yourself, and your sexuality and your future. #f at any time you feel that control is slipping, go bac( to the basic exercises and intensify your use of them, use the "antra imager" and mantras every day. ,aving control over all aspects of your sexuality, you will find yourself more in control of all areas of your life. As you pursue the practice of the rituals, each day will bring new pleasures and greater awareness of the calm confidence within you $ calmness and confidence created by your (nowledge of self and powers you have achieved as a Tantric. And the Tantric Master sent forth the new Tantrics with these words: "ou walk the earth beneath "our feet in a new wa". The 'ssence of "our being is now known onto "ou. Through that 'ssence, "ou know great pleasure and power, which "ou now master. Now "ou are at the beginning# newl" born in the wa"s of Tantric life. From "our 'ssence "ou shall create and master each new step "ou take, for the pathwa" is now trodden down, it is e!er new. our arri!al at the summit of enlightenment shall be b" "our own pathwa", unguided b" another. The rituals "ou know shall take on new power and energ" as "ou continue to practice them. 'ach da" of Tantric )ife shall bring greater knowledge of "ourself and of other, greater capacit" to know pleasure and bring pleasure# greater energ" and master" of it# greater control o!er "our life# "our being, and all that "ou disco!er within this uni!erse. For "ou shall be one with "ourself, one with the earth, one with all others, one with the 7ni!erse, one with the essence of all being. And "our essence shall grow and open the wa" to the touching of all immortal essences, which e.ist on planes where e.istence shall be made known to "ou.
