This e-letter is not intended for persons under the age of 18. Dear Friend, More questions, comments, and testimonials from Tantra Tips readers... Hi Tao! In one of your responses in the last email, you mentioned Cranio-sacral therapy as a way to assist in releasing emotional energy blockages. Few people know that craniosacral therapy has its roots in cranial osteopathy. It was developed early in the twentieth century by an osteopathic physician named Dr Sutherland. Even today, ALL osteopathic physicians (DOs) receive training in cranial osteopathy during medical school. Unfortunately, however, most osteopathic physicians of today take a more western approach to medicine and they quickly lose touch with their holistic roots. There are still approximately 5-10% of DOs who continue to receive specialized training in the classical osteopathic principles and pratices. We (in SoFla) are lucky to have a DO who is considered to be one of the finest practitioners of cranial osteopathy in the world. Dr Hasbrouck is approximately 85 years old and trained in a time when Dr Sutherland was still revealing his amazing discoveries to a select few. Dr Hasbrouck has a very balanced perspective that is founded in both modern science and pure intuition. He still sees patients approx 20 hrs/week in Davie, Fl., (954) 262-4316. Peace and blessings, Patrick Thank you Patrick - I'll pass it on. For those who might have missed that Q and A, Lisa wrote in asking how she could remove physical tension and emotional blockages from sexual trauma. Yoga, Qi Gong, and Tantric meditative and sexual practice all will help to remove somatic tension from sexual, physical, and emotional stress and trauma, but Cranio Sacral Therapy works faster! Santiago and I are both martial artists, and we've both sustained blunt trauma, which Cranio-Sacral released quickly and painlessly, along with childhood muscle-memory and more... It's a very practical, scientifically-based therapy. It works for physical, sexual, and emotional tension and trauma, and it's non-invasive and painless. It's phenomenal for workday stress too! For our many subscribers outside of the Sunshine State and outside of the USA, you can find more on Cranio-Sacral therapy/ Somatoemotional Release and locate practitioners here: http://www.iahe.com/html/therapies/cst.js ******************** Namastay! I am writing because I am under the impression that you are teaching yoga in the same tradition as that of the great Romanian yogis. I lived in India in 99/00 and studied extensively with Swami Vivekananda (narcis tarcau) and am very interested to continue studying this level of yoga. I am considering joining your inner circle and am wondering if there will be a lot of crossover of the teachings. I wish I were in florida so I could come in and see you, but I live in DC. Any further information you could give me would be most appreciated. Cheers and have a great day Sioux Barry Hi Sioux! Much of our early training in the Hindu Tantric Yogas was under the great Romanian tantric scholar and yogi Dinu Roman. Dinu, like his contemporary Narcis Tarcau (Swami Vivekananda Saraswati), was part of the yoga and meditation movement persecuted, jailed, and tortured by Ceaucescu's Secret Police under Communist rule in Romania. We are not affiliated with MISA, the organization under which Dinu and Narcis both originally trained, but Santiago and I are proud to have learned under Dinu. Esly Caldwell, one of our Level One Instructors, also trained with Narcis in Rishikesh in 2001-2. We'll be bringing Dinu in to teach an advanced Tantra Seminar in Spring 2005. In the meantime, his "Secrets of Tantra" Seminar DVD's have just gone on sale for a limited time at 1/3rd off the list price! It's essential that you get the "Secrets of Tantra" DVD's, practice the materials, and "make them your own," so that you can attend the Spring Seminar with Dinu. You can find the DVD's here: http://www.UmaaTantra.com/tantra_secrets.html *********************** Hi man! Well i have been doing a lot of reading, your site is particularly intersting and have some great links too, well iv been searching for the "mother" of all promo your site offer but i didnt found it :( . I practice mysellf a bit of yoga and read some stuff on martial arts but and im curious to know where lye the connection between the too, since i know you do not see any contradiction. ok thanks for all. Ric P. Ric - here it is, the Mother of Tantra offer - deep discounts on all our products in one big bundle: http://www.UmaaTantra.com/mother.html As for the relationship between martial arts and yoga/ tantra , here's an excerpt of a great article Santiago recently put together: Pencak Silat and Tantric Arts: Pencak Silat can be found almost all over South-East Asia. Its roots can be traced back to Ancient India, Tibet, China, Siam, and Persia. It has been influenced by Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim culture. There is archaeological evidence of the Indian Vedic and Buddhist empires that once ruled over South-East Asia thousands of years ago, each promoting its culture, martial arts, and spiritual philosophy. There still exist many similarities between Pencak Silat and the ancient Tantric arts (Hatha Yoga, Vayam, Kalaripayyat, Vajrayana Tantra, Ayurveda, Tsal Lung Trul Khor, Dance of Nataraja). Either practitioner, the Tantric or the Silat player, will find similarities in their movements, mental states, shamanic rituals, language, and philosophies. Below is a basic explanation and use of the 5 elements in Tantra Yoga. You will notice that some of it can apply and is similar to the warrior's way of cultivation found in Pencak Silat.... (for the rest of the article, see Santiago's website, http://www.DoblesInstitute.com and click the "Silat" tab... the article is at the bottom of the page) Next Tantra Tip: The Real Kama Sutra (more sex than in this tip, I promise!) For every student, there is a teacher. Keep in touch, and until then, smile, breathe right, and keep your tongue up! Your Friend, Tao Semko from www.UmaaTantra.com |
