Amazing
This is one purcahse I will never regret. For those who are serious about discovering and awakening their spiritual self I would recommend this book. Everytime I open and read it there is always something that makes me more aware.For the unconventional seekers of God.

Tantra: Path of Ecstasy

9 reviews
Georg Feuerstein

Shambhala, 1998

As good as anything by Karen Armstrong and maybe better
It's often hard to understand metaphysical books about tantra because there are few scholars who can write in a clear way that's accessible even for practitioners, let alone people who have never had a guru or traveled to India to experience tantric teachings firsthand. In America, yoga has so often devolved into a physical practice with spiritual pretensions, instead of a deeply spiritual ...

Dear Lover: A Woman's Guide To Men, Sex, And Love's Deepest Bliss

David Deida

Sounds True, 2005

Great Intro to David Deida for Women
Dear Lover helped me to understand the yearning I've felt since I've been in my teens. Interesting material for women to get in touch with their own sexuality and needs--probably good reference for males to understand women as well.

Tantra - Discovering the Power of Pre-Orgasmic Sex

Yogani

AYP Publishing, 2006

I love this book...
Making love this way is such a great way to live. It breaks your addiction to the chemical and hormonal dump which happens with orgasms, while also stimulating prana for increased health and spirituality. This book was written for yogis, yet I think it can be great for anyone! Sometimes, in the lives of partners, sex can become a hassle. And after that, for a lot of people, their partners ...

Wisdom Publications, 2001

Great Tantra Introduction book
I recently started to learn Tantra and my teacher recommended me to buy this book and start reading and learning from it. I'm about 1/2 way thru the book and it is well written and has a great wisdom in it. I would recommend this book to get inner look on what is Tantra about!

Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-first Century

Barbara Carrellas

Celestial Arts, 2007

Cosmic Orgasms, What More Could You Ask For?
This is a very excellent book that brings the reader into a deeper spiritual connection with their sexuality; and I do mean spiritual connection, not to be confused with religious connections. The best thing about this book is its openness, it caters to no single ideology, philosophy, or way of life, it only seeks to help people heal all of the damage that sexual repression has wrought in the ...

Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

246 reviews
Mabel Iam

Atria, 2006

I'd give it six stars if I could.
M. Iam seriously addresses intimacy issues and provides a step-by-step deep relationship-nourishing format that begins with the art of exploring the pleasures of the Kama sutra from the vantage point of the couple's balanced physical, mental and emotional energy. In addition to initiating and maintaining the purely sensual aspects of love-making. Everyone should read this book. I have read a ...

Yoga Pubns Trust, 2001

Excellent for those who're already prepared
I've owned this book for several years. I started out with "A Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya", by the same author. This book is meant as a companion volume to A Systematic Course to go more in depth and explain technical details that couldn't find the space in the 1000 paged coursebook. It includes all the kriyas in their entirety with the same verbiage ...

Tantric Sex for Women: A Guide for Lesbian, Bi, Hetero, and Solo Lovers

3 reviews
Christa Schulte

Hunter House, 2005

A book about self love and empowerment
This book is about so much more than what is implied by the title. This is a highly spiritual book that encourages women to cast off the shame that has blanketed them for too long in our patriarchal societies, explore their own beautiful bodies, and to love themselves.

Healing with Form, Energy, and Light: The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, and Dzogchen

13 reviews
Tenzin W. Rinpoche

Snow Lion Publications, 2002

Best book on the subject available
The title is not a put-down of books like "Rainbow of Liberated Energy" or "The Five Wisdom Energies". They do particular justice to the subject of the five 'elements'. The point that I want to make is that I liked this one best, not just because of the friendly and precise writing style, but because this one goes to the roots of the system - the primordial basis of Tibetan metaphysics. ...

The Bliss of Inner Fire: Heart Practice of the Six Yogas of Naropa

9 reviews
Lama Yeshe

Wisdom Publications, 1998

I'm Not A Big Fan of Tibetan Buddhism ...
it has too many "pre-canned" answers, I dislike it's overarching emphasis on ceremonial ritual and if I have to read another explanation on the inseparability of bliss and "emptiness" I'm going to gag. But for the most part this book was very candid and straight forward. The discussions on vase breathing and tummo were remarkably down to earth and frank. This was a fascinating book for anyone ...

Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening

4 reviews
Daniel Odier

Inner Traditions, 2001

Wholistic Tantra
The best thing about this book, for me, is its easy-to-understand (if not always easy-to-practice) wholistic view of Tantric practice. Tantric practice is NOT just about sex -- it's about falling in love with the whole universe on a much subtler level, if I may put it into my own words. Odier mixes chapters that give solid, Western-life examples of new ways to look at the world with chapters on ...

The Supreme Source: The Fundamental Tantra of the Dzogchen Semde

11 reviews
Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Snow Lion Publications, 1999

A lucid gem of a book
This is one of the best Non-dual books that I have ever read. Much of original Buddha-ism is obscured in the diversity of Tibetan teachings. This book focuses only on the highest realization and clearly shows why other practices are lesser vehicles. This book is a gem intended only for the student of high awareness. The majority of students should stick to the yoga and tantra texts, to avoid ...

Tantra for Erotic Empowerment: The Key to Enriching Your Sexual Life

7 reviews
Mark A. Michaels, Patricia Johnson

Llewellyn Publications, 2008

Good follow up to first book
This book continues the work from the first volume with more snippets of info from classical tantric texts made accessable for the western reader. The reader is then free to do more detailed reading/study of the classical texts if they wish on their own. The authors do make an effort to present their ideas in a way that is "gender inclusive" so if you are gay, straight, queer, of have a ...

Harish Johari

Destiny Books, 1988

too complicated for those new in Tantra and magick
This is one of the best books I have seen on Tantra dealing with the Hindue pantheon. This is all too much for a beginner to take in at one time. I mean the auther puts a lot in it. The information is awesome but can be overwhelming for a beginner. I would only reccomend this to a beginner if the student would read it slowly and carefuller or else she/he will not get too much out of it. I love ...

The Cakrasamvara Tantra: A Study and Annotated Translation (Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences)

3 reviews
David B. Gray

American Institute of Buddhist Studies, 2007

David B. Gray has done an excellent work publishing this translation of the fundamental Mother Anuttarayogatantra
The Cakrasamvara or Shriherukabhidhana Tantra is among the most important of Buddhist Tantras along with the Kalacakra and the Hevajra among others. Finally David B. Gray has made this mysterious text of Anuttarayoga available to the Western world. His translation and annotation appears meticulous, and the presentation of the book itself is outstanding. Though we in the West still only have ...

Yoga Spandakarika: The Sacred Texts at the Origins of Tantra

5 reviews
Daniel Odier

Inner Traditions, 2005

Tantra from a true tradition
I wanted to go to India in the early seventies and search for a guru, but I wanted so many other things too, and I did them instead. Daniel Odier went. So did a great many others, and what they found was a measure of themselves. Some found a way to make erotic experience fresher, some found dope deals, some found a guru and a new lifestyle. Some found the face they had before they were born. ...

Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving

23 reviews
Charles Muir, Caroline Muir

Mercury House, 1990

One of the best about Tantra for modern people
Please read this book! It is a philosophical and practical adaptation of ancient Tantric teachings to the modern Western realities. Learning and practicing "original" 4000-years old Tantra now isn't quite realistic. If you read some reviews written by "pure Tantra extremists," they sound rather fanatic than intelligent. This book is for "normal" people of today who want to make their intimate ...

The Essence of Tantric Sexuality

Mark A. Michaels, Patricia Johnson

Llewellyn Publications, 2006

The Best Tantra Book You'll Ever Read
Whether you are simply curious about Tantra, already know something about it, or are already knowledgeable, this is the book for you. The authors studied with the individual most responsible for bringing Tantric practices to the West, and they artfully, seriously and delightfully pass along what they have learned in this slim volume. "How to" manual, history book, explanation of Eastern ...
