Tantra Tips: Life, death, love, sex, and spirituality...
Dear Friend,
This letter marks a new turn for Umaa Tantra. The College of Tantric Yogas now serves hundreds in over 9 countries. You have learned from us in seminars, classes, emails, videos, and books. You have discovered that we are a little different. We laugh, we curse, we meditate in bliss, and in empty peace, we train hard, both physically and mentally, we play harder, we make love a lot, we practice martial arts and yet teach reverence for all sentient beings... We respect our teachers, but do not worship false leaders or their egos.
We seem a contradiction. Spiritual but worldly. Many of you are attracted to this. For every student there is a teacher. We begin our formal distance learning program in May. Some of you have been waiting months now for more information on this, as Santiago, Laura, and I have put the details together in secret.
So for the next few emails, we'll be giving you little pieces of that puzzle until the formal announcement.
The program, whose name we have yet to release, will allow you to learn as we did, exploring and taking your own path - but without some of the hairier risks we suffered but grew from along the way. You will have our guidance, but only when you need it. We do not intrude: I'm sure you'll agree, you cannot become a spiritual master by groveling at the feet of a cult leader, "facilitator," or ashram director.
But you can become a successful practitioner by working hard with the right tools, attitude, and guidance. You can realize the pristine beauty of samadhi* at all of its levels. You can Realize the Self. You can live a spiritual life and have material prosperity. But you must practice, you must play, you must live in joy, and you must have guidance.
If our teaching style appeals to you, drop us an email now. You can be among the first to participate and get a special bonus offering when the course becomes public.
The course will begin by rapidly transforming your body, giving you back vitality and relaxation, and then proceed to show you the clear path to Self-realization, to bliss in love, sex, and solo meditation, to making everything in your life into yoga - union with your own conception of the Absolute.
We teach yoga, tantra, and qi gong. We do not force-feed you rhetoric, dogma, and ethnocentric belief systems. We do not sleep deprive you, castigate you, or brainwash you. But through your own practice, we turn you into a tantric adept. You walk in our footsteps and those of our students.
We give you step-by step exercises with clear instructions. We give you safety precautions. We give you both simple techniques and harder variations if you're upt to the challenge.
If you do our distance learning program, and we do mean +do+ our distance learning program, we guarantee results. If you just want more theory, you can pay us for that too, but it's not going to get you far without practice. And successful practice is where we're different.
For every student, there is a teacher.
Keep in touch!
Smile, breathe right, and keep your tongue up!
Your Friend,
Tao Semko

*Samadhi (definition): The state of oneness with the object of meditation, in which there is no conceptual difference between subject (meditator) and object (be it external, internal, or nothingness itself). Samadhi is not enlightenment itself, but the beginnings of Realization.
