A Stand Alone Guide For Starting Your Own Tantric House If So Desired

With this being the only book I've read on tantric yoga, I cannot compare it to others in its field, but I can write about it as a stand alone book. I found the book very interesting and very detailed. My knowledge of tantricism was basically the usual western morsel of info, that it's sex without cumming or orgasm, or the physical representation of orgasm, such as ejaculating. However, this is only one sliver of tantic yoga, orgasms are heavily encouraged, although not necessarily mandatory, and it's the effort that is most important. They acknowledge that if you're in a house of 8 people of the other gender, and you have to have sex with all of them (and you do at some point) towards the end of the ritual, orgasms may be difficult to obtain. An important aspect of tantric yoga, as written here, are rituals called chakras. You start with activating the chakras, starting with the most primeval and basically sexual, at the base of the spine and work your way up the spine to greater intellectualism. You then need to come down, so to speak, so then you illuminate the chakras, in reverse order, ending at the base of the spine. With each chakra is a different diety, chant, material, up to 11 speciic items for each one. Thus the book is detailed enough, that you can start your own tantic yoga house with just this single book. I am not in a position to start my own tantric yoga house, nor to join one, but I greatly appreciated reading of this philosophy that's basically sexual in its nature, and positivily so, and with giving a lot of empowerment to women, and of recognizing the differences between men and women while enlightening those differences, whether this be tangric yoga, neo-tantric or a wiccan-tantric blend.
