Ancient Practitioners of Sacred Sex(Excerpt from: Sacred Sexuality–A Manual for Living Bliss by: Michael Mirdad)
An Overview
Although humanity has often struggled with sexuality and similarly related issues, there have always been arts and sciences devoted to honoring the sacred, sexual self. In fact, the universe and its origins are steeped in a fusion (or intercourse) of creative forces in cosmic and human forms. All sacred thought systems contain concepts of male and female aspects of this Creative Force. Additionally, every major religion and philosophy has a sect devoted to mysticism. Each sect of mysticism has a faction devoted to understanding and exploring the deeper concepts behind sacred sexuality and the practical integration of spirituality and sexuality.
The practice of sacred sexuality dates back to an ancient culture known as the Lemurians. Although there are no known written records of their sexual practices, their methods were kept alive through their descendants, such as the people of the Hawaiian Islands. The Lemurians combined creativity, vibrational healing, aromatherapy, and spirituality. They lived in harmony with body and soul and honored the creative and feminine aspects of life. They were also the originators of the healing art known as Reiki, which was preserved by their descendents in Tibet and surrounding regions. All other ancient arts of sacred sexuality are remnants of those founded by this original race.
Yoga for Beginners
Many people believe you need to be flexible to start practising yoga .... Thats not true ... some people are more fluid that others ... with practising Yoga ... you become flexilbe. As a beginner 2 of the more challenging things to do in YOGA ... is to arrive or start your first class and secondly ... to RELAX! Ther rest is simple ... JUST BREATHE! The first thing we do on earth is Breathe In ... & the Last thing we will do is Breathe out! So Breathe Yogis Breathe!
When the muscles are tense, due to stress, lack of oxygen, injuries etc ... it is difficult for the oxygenated blood, nerves and nadis to to be in full flow. Breathing relaxes the muscles, opening up all the pathways of the nerves, veins, arteries and nadis. This action allows the blood to soften and nourish the muscle tissue ... when you are breathing and relaxed your muscles are receiving all the goodies your systems have to offer .... allowing you to s- t- r- e- t- c- h with great ease. Becoming more flexible over time, practised regularly!
