 How To Connect With The Divine

To Read Diane’s Interview for the article please click here. 

In the classic yoga text The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one key ethical principle is brahmacharya. This is usually translated as sexual abstinence. Yogic celibates take a vow not to engage in any sexual practice in thought, work and deed in order to redirect the powerful sexual life energy for spiritual purity rather than lose it through ejaculation. Yet there is another way. Katie Manitas of Jivamukti Yoga interprets brahmarchaya as not harming another through your sexual activities. Donna Fahri (Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit) translates the concept as an energy exchange or merging energies with God, “a kind of omnidimensional celebration of Eros in all forms”. Heart of Yoga’s Mark Whitwell asserts that life is about making use of desire, not suppressing it. In The Promise: Love, Sex & Intimacy, he teaches, “Your Seven-Minute Wonder: a gentle pranayama (breathing) exercise with simple asanas (postures), promising greater intimacy in all relationships, especially your sexual relationship, when performed daily for three months.” From this perspective, brahmarchya shows you how to use your sexual energy, making it a consciously joyful act. You can apply all other yamas and the niyamas to the key ethical concept in thought, word and deed. Apply:

• Ahimsa (non harming) through self acceptance and compassion in sex

• Satya (truthfulness) through honest communication of each other’s needs

• Astya (not stealing) by respecting someone’s sexual boundaries

• Shaucha (purity) through cleanliness and simplifying clutter, to allow the sacred to be felt.

• Santosha (contentment) in sex and sexual partners

• Tapas (burning enthusiasm) so sexual desire doesn’t wane, especially when career, children

or hobbies take over

• Swadhyaya (self study) as self reflective consciousness in sex

• Ishvarapranidhana (celebration of the spiritual) through devotion in lovemaking

You can take each of these ethical precepts separately and explore them deeply thought your

sexuality and sexual responses to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am worried that attending a private couples coaching session will be more confronting than a couples workshop, is this true?

    No, The sessions are conducted in a casual professional setting, our practitioners are sensitive to the needs of both partners. The sessions are non-confrontational, clothed and tailored to your individual needs as a couple. Many couples actually find the private sessions less confrontational than attending a workshop.
  • Will we need to be naked, or in sexual positions in the session?

    No, the sessions are conducted fully clothed. The tantra practitioner may put you and your partner into various sexual positions in the sessions to demonstrate some of the key practices for you to practise at home.

  • How long are the sessions, and how many sessions do you recommend, What is the cost?

    The sessions are 1hour 45 minutes in length, and it entirely depends on the couple and why they are seeking the coaching as to how many sessions are recommended. Ie. If a couple is just coming for curiosity, have a good sex life etc. then maybe only 1-2 sessions are required to teach the major practices. However if the couple have differences in libido, lost the spark in their relationship, or other sexual or communication difficulties, we would recommend 3-4 sessions. The cost is $285.00 per session.

  • Do we have to be in a long term relationship to benefit from these sessions?

    No, our practitioners see young couples who have only been together for a couple of months as well as couples who have been married for many years and are much older. Tantra benefits couples of any age group, and stage of relationship.

  • My partner and I have not practised Tantra, Yoga or meditation before, will these sessions still be of use to us?

    Yes, the principles of Tantra are universal, you do not have to have studied any oriental arts to benefit from the sessions. Kerry and Diane’s work in bringing Tantra to Australia over the past 30 years, has enabled them to devise practises that are applicable and practical for the ‘normal modern couple’, their wealth of experience with talking with thousands of people about Tantra has enabled them to develop a program to teach Tantra to couples in an effective way that gets results and some remarkable outcomes – please read our testimonials.
