Divine love expressed through sexuality has the great potential to be more fulfilling then what most of us have experienced. The secret to unlocking the magic we all possess is sourced from a place of stillness between two people who have allowed themselves to relax deeply enough that they are no longer trying to go anywhere or achieve anything. The great relief of letting go of goals opens a space in a sacred union to realize there really is nothing to gain or to lose. Love can be experienced as a free and holy expression of our divine essence when expressed through our hearts. And sex is then but one glorious expression of that love. This is the place that I share sacred sexuality and tantric spiritual practices with you. Learn to completely relax into yourself and to trust yourself as you are.

Shamanic Tantra is an experience born from my work as a shamanic practitioner. During my work as a shamanic practitioner I discovered that my clients were awakening to their own creative life force energy (sexual energy) and at the same time they were not able to discern what to do with, how to direct it and how to use this precious gift we all have to bring more abundance, love, peace and joy into their life and the lives of those around them.

Tantra like Yoga, Zen or Shamanism is a path to enlightenment, which has its roots in India. It is nicknamed the "science of ecstasy" and focuses on heightening and prolonging the special awareness and rapport that exists between lovers during lovemaking. This view holds that the greatest source of energy in the universe is sexual, and places high value on ritualized love making. Sexual orgasm is seen as a divine encounter with absolute love.

Tantric philosophy teaches everything is to be experienced playfully, yet with awareness and a sense of sacredness in every gesture, every sensory perception, and every action. The path of Tantra is a spiritual one, which includes and appreciates the experience of our sexuality and sensuality as a conscious meditation, as a flowing together of the physical, erotic and cosmic energies.

If you were a devoted student of tantric philosophy, you would go through an extensive program of physical, sexual and mental exercises to heighten your sensory awareness. Through slow and thoughtful practice in lovemaking techniques you would learn to comfortably extend the time of lovemaking. In this way you would train yourself to be aware of not only your own feelings but also those of your partner. The spiritual part of Tantra is to use your sexual energy to merge ecstatically with your partner and through him or her to become one with the universe or god. Shiva and Shakti, the inseparable divine couple, are the gods of the ecstatic dance and the creators of the yoga that allows us to rediscover the divine within us by opening the heart.

Nothing can match the explosive energy created in the body by pure desire. The energies fueled by passion are used to nourish the inner flame that melts the egotistical perception of the mind. I invite you to discover for yourself the Shiva or Shakti within you own heart and mind and explore with me the techniques of Tantra that enable you to attain mastery of the breath, thought, and the natural process of the body towards ecstatic pleasure and love for yourself that you never knew existed. Take this into sacred union with another and you will never settle for anything less again.

Within every man and woman stirs the soul of a Shiva and Shakti, yearning to be released, ready to explore the sensual mysteries of the universe. If you are bold enough to pursue this quest, you will learn to receive pleasure and to allow yourself to surrender to previously unknown passions. You will experience a wide gamut of sensations, from gently soothing to exhilaratingly powerful. Within this gentle world, you will be honored, and the Shiva or Shakti now sleeping within, will be awakened.

"I have known Karyn for many years and respect her professional integrity and the way she graciously and warmly supports contexts for transformation. She offers a bounty of knowledge in how we can dance the yin/yang of mystical intimacy that brings forth more soulful loving."

It is important for you to know our sessions are not for the purpose of fulfilling the desire of sexual connection. My sessions may be physically, emotionally, and energetically intimate in nature however there is no direct mutual interactive sexual contact between you and me. Each session is individualized because of your needs and interests and will depend on your goals and progress in bridging your sexual and spiritual self to becoming one. It is always an honor to share this work with someone who is beginning to explore the nature of tantra and those that wish to expand on their knowledge.

This is the richest and deepest service I offer as it will get right to the heart of your sexual nature, behavior, and wounding around relationships and sexuality. It is my goal to provide a safe and sacred space that welcomes your deepest, fear, grief, sadness, rage, anger, tears, and any other blocks you wish to relieve your emotional and physical body from.

I require three sessions for a minimum hour and a half per session ($200.00 an hour) for all Tantra Awakening sessions, one session is not enough time to prepare and create a space of openness and trust between you and myself to do this work and my focus is on transformation and tantra as a spiritual practice. For consideration of longer sessions I offer a series for maximum results at a reduced rate.
