Tantra
The Supreme Understanding - Discourses on the Tantric Way of Tilopa's Song of Mahamudra
Nothing much is known about the 11th century Indian master Tilopa, yet his mystical insight into Tantra in the form of a song passed on to his disciple Naropa, has lived for the past ten centuries. In these talks Osho explains many significant meditation techniques that are as helpful and powerful today as when Tilopa first sang his song.
The Tantric Path of Indestructible Wakefulness
Chögyam Trungpa explores the the vajrayana teachings of the tantric path in this final volume of his masterpiece on Tibetan Buddhism 

This three-volume collection presents in lively, relevant language the comprehensive teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist path of the hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana. Considered Chögyam Trungpa’s magnum opus, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma will resonate with new and senior students of Buddhism. 

In this third and final volume, Chögyam Trungpa’s examines the vajrayana teachings of the tantric path. The vajrayana, or "diamond vehicle," also referred to as tantra, draws upon and extends the teachings of the hinayana and mahayana. As with the hinayana and the mahayana, the formal acceptance into the vajrayana is marked by a vow, in this case the samaya vow. There is an emphasis at this stage on the student-teacher relationship and on the quality of devotion. Generally, students must complete preliminary practices, called ngöndro, to prepare themselves for initiation into the vajrayana path before going further. Having done so, they then receive the appropriate empowerments to begin tantric practices. There are empowerment ceremonies of many kinds, called abhishekas. The vajrayana includes both form practices, such as visualizations and sadhanas (ritual liturgies), and formless practices based on allowing the mind to rest naturally in its inherent clarity and emptiness. Although on the surface, there is much greater complexity in tantric practices, the principles of mindfulness and awareness and the cultivation of compassion and skillful action continue to be of central importance. 

The tantric path requires complete engagement and fierce dedication. It is said to be a more rapid path, but it is also more dangerous. There is a quality of directness, abruptness, and wholeheartedness. Tantrikas, or vajrayana practitioners, recognize that the most challenging aspects of life, the energies and play of confused emotions and frightening obstacles, can be worked with as gateways to freedom and realization. Other topics covered in detail in this volume include the four reminders, the mandala principle, mahamudra, atiyoga, and more.
Sexual Intelligence
What We Really Want from Sex and How to Get It
From a famed sex therapist and marriage counselor comes the key to a healthier, more exciting, more fulfilling sex life—A game-changing guide to liberating sex, pure desire, and unrivaled intimacy

“Instead of a manual of better tricks, this book is a practical plan to improve your relationship with your sexuality. Klein liberates and provokes--and illuminates the way to change your sexual experience for good.” — Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity

Enjoyable sex: It’s not about technique or a perfect body or being hopelessly, passionately in love. It’s about sexual intelligence.

In his three decades of working with couples and individuals of all orientations and backgrounds as a sex therapist and marriage counselor, Psychology Today contributor Dr. Marty Klein has continuously seen that although most people say what they want from sex is pleasure and closeness, that’s not what they focus on during sex. Instead, we’re preoccupied with how we look, what our partner is thinking, how we’re performing, and whether we’re “normal.” We do more thinking, worrying, and judging than experiencing. Sex like that can’t thrill us, can’t create intimacy, and can’t, well, feel sexy.

Weaving in personal, real-life experiences from his clients Klein shows how to:

• Stop observing ourselves during sex, ending our obsession with sexual performance and sexual normality.

• Gain the emotional skills and body awareness to get more out of sex, and gain a new perspective on then experience—wherever it takes you.

• Have fulfilling, exciting sex at every stage of our lives— with advice for every decade from our twenties to our sixties and beyond.

 “I don’t help people ‘function’ better during sex,” he says. “I teach people how to relax and enjoy sex with the body they have, the partner they have, in the situation they have.” Sex changes over time, and so do we. From exploring the sexual world to establishing new rhythms to adapting to change and to saying goodbye to youthful sex: Klein shows us the force of creating a new sexual style for every stage of our journeys.

Sexual Intelligence sharply removes the stigma and challenges our understanding of sex, love, intimacy, romance, and satisfaction. After all, sex isn’t just an activity. Change the way you think about sex, and you can change your sex life—forever.

The Power of Shakti
18 Pathways to Ignite the Energy of the Divine Woman
The inviting of the masculine essence to come deep into you requires that you become totally vulnerable, opening, embracing, surrendering to, and receiving the male essence in its totality. How deeply do you trust the masculine? When the seven gates are open, you are letting a man deep into your soul and your feminine essence, fully into the womb consciousness, which also has enormous benefits for him.

This letting in, of course, can only happen through deep mutual intimacy and surrender to the other. When enough sexual, emotional, and heart healing has been done by both partners - both alone and in the mirror of the relationship - then this penetration and surrender can occur, organically unfolding the gates. The level of mutual love, trust, commitment, and willingness to grow are key factors in this, as well as the the ability of the man to be able to support the woman, to be the safe pillar for the woman, therefor letting her go deeper into her own essential feminine nature and deeper into the womb consciousness, taking the masculine with her.

One starts to make love in a different way on the subtle planes and goes deeper into bliss. The man becomes swallowed int he infinite womb and surrenders to this drawing inward into the depths where all men wish to go, back to the life force, and original innocence. The man becomes humbled and empowered in a new manner and the woman rests in ease and deep acknowledgment of her own divine nature, born from the deeper connecting and opening of the womb and heart. Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine are born.” - Padma Aon Prakasha, The Power of Shakti
The Great Cosmic Mother
Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth
A deeply awakening yet radical exploration of the Goddess, the divine feminine, and the cultural forces that have formed the female condition—A must read for all feminists and spiritual seekers

“One of the most important books I’ve ever read.” – Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize Winning author of The Color Purple

For readers of Women Who Run with the Wolves, The Great Cosmic Mother offers a sweeping overview of the Goddess, allowing us to reconnect within, tap deep into our innate wisdom, harness the power of our mind, body, and spirit, and discover what it truly means to be a woman and spiritual being.
Drawing on religious, cultural, and archaeological sources to recreate the Goddess movement that is humanity’s heritage, this classic spiritual guide illuminates how, before the patriarchy, women—and their instinctual bodies—were more connected to the earth, and each other, than ever previously known. Women have had profound impact on modern society as we know it today, harnessing their connection with the cycles of the moon and fertility of the earth to discover time cycles, art, agriculture, language, and other universal stapes previously believed to be invented by man.

The Great Cosmic Mother revives modern and ancient matriarchal history allowing all readers to truly understand women as the creators of culture, innovators, and peacemakers throughout time. Through illustrations, symbolism, explorations of folklore and mythology, this profound source of wisdom will empower you to find your divine feminine energy and unlock the goddess within.
