Tantra Isn’t Just Sex

Many times, after I write a piece on Tantra, I tend to receive many emails asking questions on the subject; although I am pleased for the interest and curiosity, most of the questions seem to be focused only on sexual technique. Because I am a Tantric and not just happen to like Tantra or just…… Continue reading Tantra Isn’t Just Sex

A Child’s Silent Cry: Being Raised By Parents With Depression

Even though we live in a society where we often hear the word “Depression”, the subject still remains one of the most stigmatized illnesses; this is the result of ignorance on what depression actually is, and the desire to run away from our own wounds–“If I tell myself, I am all about rainbows and unicorns,…… Continue reading A Child’s Silent Cry: Being Raised By Parents With Depression

Quantum Physics’ Correlation to Mysticism & The “Occult”

Today I would like to write about a subject that in many ways fascinates me….Quantum Physics. Before I start this article, I would like to point out for sake of argument that when reading this piece, the word “Occult” simply means “hidden”. It has no correlation to superficial or misleading connotations regarding anything malevolent. Now…… Continue reading Quantum Physics’ Correlation to Mysticism & The “Occult”

The Incognisable: Rumi, A Story Of Love

Although in the West, the word “Guru” has become synonymous with “expert”, “master”, and “influential teacher”.  In its origin, it means “guide” or “mentor”, and although at first glance many would say mentor and teacher are the same, etymologically based on their Latin roots, they are not, but that is a subject for another day….…… Continue reading The Incognisable: Rumi, A Story Of Love

Understanding Narcissism & Narcissistic Parenting

Narcissism or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Today I would like to expand on the subject of Narcissism; a subject often misunderstood. Franco Volpi; a philosopher and historian; wrote “Tell me who you see when you look at yourself on the mirror, and I will tell you what philosophy of life you live by”. We all know the myth of Narcissus; a…… Continue reading Understanding Narcissism & Narcissistic Parenting

Reflections: Desire

The word alone makes my knees weak, my mouth salivate and my spirit soar….Oh, but you probably think I am only talking about sex, it seems that is the first thing that comes forth when someone says “desire”. The dictionary defines it as “longing to satiate”, “a strong feeling of wanting to have something”–well then,…… Continue reading Reflections: Desire

This article in some way goes hand in hand with my previous article on “Paranoia…The Silent Epidemic”–for it is based not just on assumptions per se, but on the high level of sociological paranoia currently being faced all over the world. How many of your thoughts about other people, situations or things are due to…… Continue reading Assumptions Lead To Wrong Conclusions

Benefits of Tantric Counseling

Traditional therapy can be an intimidating thing; it should come as not surprise then how much more “terrifying” the idea of Tantric counselling can be; whether by one self or as a couple. Tantric counselling is similar to what is commonly known as Sex Therapy; which focuses on physical and mental dysfunctions; however, Tantric counselling…… Continue reading Benefits of Tantric Counseling

Reflection #10: If Worlds Could Collide

Today was an emotionally charged day for me. I felt as if I had to confront two completely different realities, yet my mind kept wondering “if only they could understand one another”….perhaps that is what I am trying to accomplish by writing this. My morning started early, with my assisting Barry while he photographed a…… Continue reading Reflection #10: If Worlds Could Collide
