And with social media training us to have an attention span of about 8 seconds, online dating has been reduced to making split-second judgements about people based on their profile photo. In the space of 60 seconds you might choose to reject 60 amazing...2022-03-0719 minThe Tantric LifeE22 Six Core Elements of Tantric Law of Attraction PracticeA Tantric approach to Law of Attraction incorporates six core elements, which can be tailored and adapted to your own personal needs.

This has created a culture of disposable dating, where we are so accustomed to using things, then throwing them away and buying new replacements. This mindset is prevalent in the dating industry… one only needs to spend a little time on dating apps such as Tinder to see how many people are ready to drop their potential date just as quickly as they would throw away a used tissue.Tantric dating is a much more loving approach where we see everyone as ex...2022-02-1019 minThe Tantric LifeE20 Tales from the Monastery - IntroductionIn today’s episode of the Tantric Life Podcast I am joined for the first time by my partner, Melissa, as she interviews me about my life as a hindu monk in the monastery.For 11 years I lived as a swami with my Guru in the monastery, where we followed a disciplined way of life to cultivate a connection with God.

It was through this way of life that I came to a deep un...2022-02-0640 minThe Tantric LifeE19 Tantra and Law of AttractionIf you dig a little into the teachings of Tantra you will find references to the same secret principle which underlies the modern-day Law of Attraction.In this podcast episode I talk about how Tantra and Law of Attraction are connected, and I share some of my experiences of using Tantric-based rituals to invoke the power of dieties for helping you in life.Part of my mission is to bring what I learned from my life as a swami in the monastery and integrate it with the teachings of Tantra and Law of Attraction.

The Tantric LifeE18 Vedantic Five Koshas vs Tantric Five-Layer SelfIn this episode we compare the Vedantic Five Koshas with the Tantric Five-Layers of the Self.
The Five Koshas describe five layers of Self, ranging from the densest part of our being, the physical body, through to the subtlest layer, the bliss-joy body, which is closest to our Divine essence. At first glance this seems almost identical to the Tantric Five-Layered view of Self, which also describes our being as composed of different layers, ranging from the densest to the subtlest.
However, on closer reflection we see that there are some significant differences between these...2021-05-2944 minThe Tantric LifeE17 Create More Connection with your PartnerThis simple couples practice is great for creating more connection and passion with your partner.
It’s all too easy for a couple to lose that passion and feeling of connection over time. We can get so wrapped up and overwhelmed by our busy day-to-day schedule, with stress and work and kids and dogs, etc. And often we don’t even realise that we are neglecting our partner, and not giving our relationship the loving sustenance it needs.
Tantra is a great way to switch our focus back to our relationship and our partner. Many of t...2021-04-2038 minThe Tantric LifeE16 What is the Goal of Tantra?Modern-day Tantra seems to be beneficial for so many aspects of our human experience, and everyone has a different, very personal, reason for practicing Tantra.

In other words what are the benefits? Drawing from my own personal experience in addition to research, I describe how semen retention, practiced in a healthy, Tantric way, gives you almost superhuman powers of confidence, vitality, focus, success, and abundance… to name just a few of the benefits.

The beauty of Tantra is that its perspective can be used to help in understanding other spiritual traditions. Today we’re looking specifically at the Thurisaz rune. This powerful rune represents the focused and directed energy that can be summoned as a result of the polarity between the spiritual realms and the dark side of human nature. This rune reminds us that when we are stuck in a dark, unconscious, stagnating state, we can cry out to the oppo...2020-12-1634 minThe Tantric LifeE13 - Emotions and Tantra: Remember... You Also Have an Emotional Body.In today’s episode I talk about how emotions are an integral part of Tantra. It’s easy to forget that we also have an emotional body, which needs just as much self-care as our physical body.
Tantric Yoga teaches that the emotional body, Chitta or Heart-Mind, digests emotions and experiences, in much the same way that the physical body digests food. The problem is that most of us receive zero education or training about how to deal with our emotions in childhood, or even in adulthood. So much of our emotional experiences remain undigested, in the form...2020-10-2736 minThe Tantric LifeE12 Semen Retention 101 - Heart Chakra and Adi MantraContinuing in this series about semen-retention 101, today I talk about how the Heart Chakra is one of the Tantric keys to successfully maintaining your non-ejaculation practice, even when you are having hot sex with your partner!

Being stuck together for days on end puts pressure on a relationship. Today we explore some tips for how to bring more joy and fulfilment into a relationship.
From a Tantric perspective, a healthy, vibrant, joyful and juicy relationship is based having your needs met and also on polarity. It is this polarity of masculine and feminine energies which makes a relationship exciting, interesting, and fulfilling. Creating that polarity means being in your confidence as a man or woman. Tantra provides us with some great...2020-05-1344 minThe Tantric LifeE08 The Nature of God - A Tantric ViewClassical Tantra gives us a beautiful and practical description of the nature of God, referred to in tantric texts as the Five Powers of God. These five characteristics describe how the Divine flows from formless consciousness into dynamic manifestation. We, as humans, can embody and apply these divine characteristics in our everyday life. From the bliss of our inner Divine connection arises the impulse to create something unique. When we create something unique, no matter how small, we are fulfilling our innate purpose to express and manifest a small part of God in this world.

In Tantra our true Self is not something that is separate from our body, emotions, and thoughts. Some approaches to spirituality hold that we should reject or deny those “lower” aspects of ourselves, which obscure and block our vision of our higher Self. The Tantric path, on the other hand, teaches that our true Divine Self permeates every level of our being, and we can work with, heal, and enjoy all those facets of existence which make us human.

Rather than blocks, I see these more as ongoing steps that are necessary for us to mature in our spiritual growth. These three steps deal with our healing, our experience of higher states of consciousness, and the role of our ego. Ultimately the goal or "pure motive" is about discerning the absolute truth of who we are.
