OverviewIn all the domains of human life, we now understand the need for an integration of body, mind and spirit. But despite this comprehension of the holistic nature of existence, much of the teaching offered on sexuality - even sacred sexuality - concentrates on the physical practice, to the detriment of emotional intimacy. Adi Da Samraj explains that our emotional-sexual life can only be made right through the process of restoring the bipolar balance of the body and by transcending the ego, the illusory sense of separate existence. He advocates that sexual practice initially become a solitary yogic discipline - an embracing and reclaiming of one's own body - to restore the bipolar integrity that is at the core of every human being. Once this bipolar integrity is established, he shows how a sexual practice of true intimacy - free of clinging attachment - is possible. He also teaches that an unconscious, early childhood reaction to the mother and father governs the emotional-sexual life, a reaction that must be understood and transcended. The emotional-sexual practices taught by Adi Da are centred in the understanding that love breaks the heart and show that learning how to have intimacy without ego-based attachment is where profound practice begins. * Teaches how to overcome the emotional patterning that hinders healthy sexual relationships * Presents a solitary yogic discipline to restore the bipolar integrity of the individual * Shows how to entirely transcend emotional-sexual patterns Full Product DetailsAuthor: Adi Da SamrajPublisher: Inner Traditions Bear and Company Imprint: Inner Traditions Bear and Company Dimensions: Width: 15.30cm , Height: 1.50cm , Length: 23.00cm ISBN: 9781594772580ISBN 10: 1594772584 Pages: 176 Publication Date: 27 November 2008 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: Awaiting stock ![]() Table of ContentsReviewsIn this inspiring book, Avatar Adi Da Samraj helps the reader understand the need for the integration of body, mind, and spirit to create true and comprehensive intimacy.
