The Dakini Ponders Tantric Desire

"The one who fills your heart. The one whose arms enfold you with love. The God who enters into the Sacred Temple of the Moon with power and ecstasy. The temple whose gates are the path to the stars and the vessel waiting to invite the mystical soul child into existence. This is the beauty of sacred loving and the silent language of desire."


In order to be successful at something, we must desire it continuously, and be willing to act to fulfill that desire every day. Imagine your own path to success. Behind the drive toward your goal, isn't there an insatiable desire fueling you to overcome your obstacles?

An essential ingredient in the practice of tantra, or divine weaving, is desire.

In fact desire and action are the magic formula that assist us in attaining any goal.

So what about our relationships?


When we cultivate the desire to become continuously focused on a successful, divine union, we are cultivating a loving, healing kind of desire called "devotion."

The word devotion might evoke fears within ourselves that we had hoped would remain buried in the uncomfortable silence between us when we act out of pure lust without intention. We fear losing ourselves in devotion to the other person or we fear instigating unspoken vows to develop a kind of longevity with another person for which we feel we are not ready.

With tantric devotion nothing could be farther from the truth.

In our practice of tantric lovemaking, we need only be devoted to the integrity of our sacred space. Devotion to the cause of bliss and union, and devotion to honoring the sacredness of ourselves and the self of our partner is paramount to the success and the discovery of divine joy. This devotion is the continuous flow of desire toward a blissful existence.

No matter what the nature of your relationship with your partner may be - be it casual, serious, committed, or something else - remaining within your own sacred space and honoring your devotion to your personal bliss within that space is the first concept that one must cultivate in the silent depths of ourselves.

It is our devotion to the peace of tantra that will enable us to enter our sacred space and sustain our practice of the sacred love arts for as long as it takes until we attain divine experience. And divine experience is the path to mastery and thus divine, sacred union.

Lovers, we are soul mating. We are calling into existence mates for our souls. Are we ready for our tantric weaving? Leaving you with these words:



"Love is like a vast ocean. Hold your breath and fall in."

I journey to the shore and I am watching the waves trickle around my feet. My toes haven't adjusted yet to the cool waters of the sea. The sun beats down on my naked skin. I am kissed by the universe while clad by sky. Idealistic, romantic me is filled with the power of ecstasy. The waves approach me and tickle my toes again. They even engulf my feet and wash my ankles, massaging and enticing my achille's heel. Sandyfooted and chilly, I tiptoe into love's healing waters. Farther and deeper, my eyes can only fixate on the nearly invisible line of the horizon, where blue touches blue and the separation between them is imperceptible. Now the grand scheme is made clear.

Thank you, Divine Partner, for desiring bliss enough to bathe me in the ocean of love and thus aiding in my quest to find my own sacred self through the experience of bliss.
