I asked some of my students what Tantra is all about and they came forward with the most amazing answers...below is the first of many.
"I have a strong conviction that there is an immutable kernel of goodness and love within each and every one of us. I also believe that we are all connected in the form of a Oneness or Spirit that is all of us and is at once more than all of us. I am seeing tantra as a way of connecting more consciously to that Oneness through the goodness and love that we have within us. It is a method of finding our way within to that love, and then to honor and join with the love within others, in a beautiful overarching Namaste.
It is not a stretch to verbalize that belief. It is much more of a stretch to follow it and not to be distracted by the maya and temptations in our everyday lives.
I loved what you said about sitting with whatever there is in the world and saying, "That's all right, there is no need for change, it is what it is and it is all good." I took that very much to heart and am working with it." ~Vicki
