Ta**ra vs. P**n: Enemy… or misunderstood ally?
Is p**n killing your s3nsuality - or could it be refined into conscious er0ticism? 👀
In this Ta**ra Talks throwback, we explore when p✨rn dulls the nervous system, when it can be used skillfully, and why Ta**ra is about refinement, not restriction. Listen in.

Your p3nis isn’t a weapon.
It’s a Vajra - a diamond thunderbolt of wisdom ⚡️
In Ta**ra, the Vajra is a sacred healing tool.
Not for pounding or performing, but for presence, power, and transformation.
Here’s what most men were never taught:
🔥 Sensitivity is strength
🔥 Presence is hotter than performance
🔥 You must heal yourself before you can heal others
In this episode of Ta**ra Talks, we flip the script on masculinity, and awakening your Vajra as a conscious tool of healing.
We talk c!rcumc!sion tr&uma, s3ggsual sovereignty, and the difference between p3netration and presence.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is there more to s3ggs than performance?”
Spoiler: Absolutely.

Does being polyamorous mean you are more “s*xually enlightened” or are you being gaslit? 🤔
S3xual liberation doesn’t mean constant s3x.
Trust your intuition! If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t let anyone gaslight you!

You’re having an urge? A calling? What is it telling you?
Listen to it. FOLLOW IT!
Maybe it’s telling you to quit it all…
Maybe it’s tired of waiting…
Maybe it’s saying it’s time you prioritised YOU!
Whatever that urge is telling you, true love and fulfilment comes when we honour that voice.

You may find yourself faking a smile through a misjudged gift exchange today 🤦🏾♀️ …
There are so many aspects of life that we simply tolerate without enjoying.. but S*X should NOT be one of these!
So here’s our hot tips for graciously ‘Giving + Receiving’ this season… 👅😮💨💝
——
The 10 spot is an easy way to access more pleasure in every area of life by noticing where you are on your pleasure scale (from 1-10) and self-attuning to what would make your experience closer to a 10, and then either asking for that, or giving it to yourself.
#1. Think of your pl3asure on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being most awesome, and 1 being meh
#2. Tune into your body and notice where you are on a scale from 1-10.
#3. If you are less than a 10, take a moment to think about and/or feel into what would make this experience closer to a 10.
#4. Once you know, then ASK for what would make you feel closer to a 10.
#5. If you don’t know, that’s okay! Use this as an invitation to explore what would make your pl3asure closer to a 10 for both of you.
💖 HAPPY HOLIDAYS Y’ALL 💖

Finding time for yourself over the holidays can be hard! 🫨 But caring to your nervous system is vital for getting through that stress 🎄
Save this post for your next solo healing session, whenever you have the capacity 💝
——
1. Make time.
Even if it’s 15 minutes. Commit to yourself for this time. Solo s 3 xual healing sessions beging in YOUR mind. You must choose to create the time and space in your life to devote to this healing practice. We recommend you schedule it. Make a date with yourself and give yourself the gift of undivided attention.
2. Create space.
Creating a s3nsually pleasing, nurturing environment offers your nervous system the extra support it may need to relax fully. Lock the door if it gives you peace of mind. Light some candles, put on some music, get yummy goods and beverages. Use all your senses to activate pl3asure.
3. Meditate beforehand.
Give your mind the opportunity to relax and get present in the body before you attempt to stimulate yourself.
4. Breathe deeply.
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) plays a huge role in our s 3 xual function & ability to respond to pl3asure. If you’re feeling tense or stressed, your ANS will most likely be kicked into a fight/flight response.
5. Tease yourself.
To enhance the experience, try stroking your entire body to find pl3asure zones and focus on them. Slowly and gradually make your way to the g3nitals. Pause to relax and breathe throughout.
6. Remove the goal.
We are not aiming for the big O. There is no failure if we do not achieve it. Simply sit in your body, and love yourself, for as long as feels right.

We are thrilled to announce that as of September 26th, 2019, The Institute of Authentic Ta**ra Education is the only government accredited school for Ta***ic s*xual healing in the world! The Authentic Ta**ra® Certification Program is the only Ta**ra certification program in the WORLD that has been reviewed and approved by the registrar of the Private Training Institutions Branch of the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills & Training.
The Institute of Authentic Ta**ra Education provides professional certification training, personal coaching & online classes in authentic lineage-based Ta***ic healing methods. Graduates of our certification program hold the professional occupational code of Practitioners of natural healing.
The Institute of Authentic Ta**ra Education is dedicated to providing ethical and effective Ta***ic instruction to individuals and communities who are seeking a healthy, balanced, and sacred approach to s*xuality and holistic healing. Our methods are rooted in Tibetan Ta***ic Buddhist teachings designed to catalyze profound healing and transformation in the body, mind, emotions, and s*x.
These ancient lineage-based Tibetan Ta***ic practices are woven with Taoist methods, yogic breathing, somatic science, and compassionate communication (NVC), to produce a potent and effective modality for s*xual healing and personal realization. Unlike many styles of yoga and meditation, the modality of Authentic Ta**ra® embraces human s*xuality and its innate potential for healing, when it is honored as sacred and practiced with awareness, compassion, and loving-kindness
