A Pleasant Surprise!

Delicious, yet highly informative. I bought this book with a skeptical mind, as a beginner on my tantric path, I am busy weeding out the cheap, cheesy, perverted sex-hype that occurs about anything vaguely related to sexualality in a Puritanical society and the new-age nonsense. I wasn't sure at first because of the steamy sex scenes but a closer look reveals much much more than that. It provides a perspective that a novice or just a curious person can use to understand the process of tantric awakening, without all the complicated mythology and history. I perfect starting point, although I recommend reading other more in depth books afterwards. It has made other works about tantra much more digestible. It's an easy read, I finished it in less than 24 hours.

Wow - what an awakening!

I have to say that I've always felt a bit shy, sexually. This book was a true awakening for me (sorry for the pun). It really opened my eyes to a new way of looking at relationships and sexual energy and intimacy. I've read it twice now and each time I find a new layer that helps me in my life.

For every romantic, not just the Tantra-oriented

I will mention right off the best thing about this book - an incomparable, mind-boggling love scene between the author and her Tantric guru. This is the hottest and best-described love scene I have ever read, culminating in her mind-blowing orgasm that explodes into blissful oneness with the universe (her description almost takes us there).

I am an English major and long-time student of Eastern philosphies; and I have never read anything like it.

The book is psychologically and philosophically solid, I believe; although one would do well to balance it with a non-Tantric mystical work from someone truly enlightened, such as Echhart Tolle's "The Power of Now."

Beautiful, intelligent, thorough and factual

I picked this up from Amazon to get a better understanding of tantra because a girl I was dating was tantric. Some of the other books I'd seen were a little too abstract for me. I could see how this book would appeal to someone well versed in tantra because it's not only beautifully written but is filled with vivid descriptions of the author's emotions and energies at various points along her path of spiritual transformation. More importantly to me, it's also perfect for someone who's not familiar with the culture or practices because it offers concrete factual descriptions of tantric beliefs and practices. The author's openness and vulnerability in discussing the obstacles she faced in her personal and professional life were invaluable to me in understanding both the challenges and the benefits that the tantric world offers.

The autobiography of an American Gen-X woman who immerses herself in the sexual mysteries of tantric yoga.


? An engaging  insider's story that intimately portrays the details of the tantric sexual path from a young woman's point of view.


? Author is one of the few Americans to be initiated into the sacred cobra breath.


? Reveals not only the benefits but also the pitfalls, problems, and temptations of this path toward enlightenment.


? Includes meditations and exercises for beginning a tantric practice.


Tantric Awakening discloses an epic experience of tantra that few have achieved, and even fewer would dare to attempt. This is the story of a 19-year-old girl, disillusioned by the questions that her religion and society fail to answer, who courageously enters the sensuous rituals of tantric sex. In search of authentic knowledge, Brooks was admitted into secret societies where she learned firsthand the ways of the tradition from tantric adepts. Amid disapproval from family and friends, her body and spirit awaken to ecstatic levels of orgasmic pleasure that allow her to experience loving relationships, better health, and a deep sense of oneness with God. 

A personal and intimate portrait, Tantric Awakening is tastefully written to reveal not only the ecstatic power and spiritual benefits of tantra, but also the pitfalls, problems, and temptations of this path toward enlightenment. With the inclusion of specific tantric sexual techniques the author shows how to use tantra to balance the spirit with the physical self in order to achieve personal empowerment, transforming fear and self-doubt into joy and self-confidence. Meditations, exercises, and important insights for beginning a tantric practice assist the reader who is inspired to bring a sense of the divine into daily life.
