The Ecstasy of the HeartTantra is a path of meditation that views the human body as a doorway to higher consciousness, in fact, the body is seen by Tantrics as the ultimate source of awakening. It is believed that the very sensations and emotions experienced by us contain all the mysteries of the Universe . . . put simply, the ultimate is only accessible through the immediate. The breath, movement and sound techniques of Tantra enliven the body and expand the senses, making it possible to reach deep levels of ecstatic meditation through intimate contact with the immediate through sensation and emotion.
Thought in the west to be merely a sexual technique, Tantra is actually one of the most ancient meditation paths from the east, which goes far beyond sexual experience. In this workshop we will practice Tantric meditations that focus on the heart . . . awakening our passion for life and illuminating our experience of love. The heart center is the center of Absolute Love, love beyond attachment. When the powerful energies of our sexuality are channeled into the heart pleasure becomes sacred, sex becomes prayer and the ultimate is revealed. We will learn of the spiritual significance of our sexuality and what part sexuality plays in meditation. Our program will center around an ancient Tantric lovemaking technique that has been use for centuries to open the mysteries of the heart . . . for once the heart is open, true meditation is possible. "The ultimate answer cannot be given, it can only be received." Tom Robbins
Dawn Cartwright has been teaching Tantra internationally since 1992 and is the founder of Chandra Bindu Tantra Institute in Long Beach, California, where individuals, couples and families are supported in reaching their ecstatic potential using the practices, meditations and techniques of PrasavaTantra.
Prasava Tantra is a way of experiencing Tantra and the Tantric energy field developed by Dawn over the last 9 years. Prasava is a Sanskrit word which means "Blossoming". It is Dawn's philosophy that tantra is a natural state of being, a state of being in the now, where ecstasy and Union are present. She believes that Tantra is an organic blossoming of body, mind and spirit that is possible when we are present . . . in our bodies.
