Tantrica yoga is for both men and women. It can show us how true Shakti and true Shiva energy connects form the inner heart. This connection eliminates selfish desire and elevates us to share in true intimacy. True Shiva Shakti Energy lives in the inner heart not the physical body. When we share in true intimacy with ourselves and each other we find we can be more honest about our feelings. Being honest creates true intimacy because it asks of us to be more genuine with conscious intention which allows the inner heart to open toward greater harmony sharing. Herein lies the HEART OF Tantrica Yoga. Our true selves. Premala Devi injoy injoy The Sacred Obscene There is an aspect of women’s sexuality that in ancient times was called the sacred obscene, not in the way we use the word today, but meaning sexually wise in a witty sort of way. There were once Goddess cults devoted to irreverent female sexuality. They were not derogatory but concerned with portraying parts of the unconscious that remain, yet today, mysterious and largely unchartered. The very idea of sexuality as sacred, and more specifically, obscenity as an aspect of sacred sexuality, is vital to the wildish nature. There were Goddesses of obscenity in ancient women’s culture—so-called for their innocent yet wily lewdness. However, language, in English at least, makes it very difficult to understand the “obscene Goddess” in any other way than vulgar. Here is what the word obscene and some other related words mean. From these meanings I think you can see why this aspect of old Goddess worship was pushed underground. I would like you to consider these three dictionary definitions and develop your own conclusions: • Dirt: Middle English, drit, probably from Iceland—excrement. It has been extended to include filth; generally soil, dust, etc. and obscenity of any kind, especially language. • Dirty word: an obscene word, also currently used for something that has become socially or politically unpopular or suspect, often through unmerited criticism and denigration or from being out of line with current trends. • Obscene: from old Hebrew, Ob, meaning a wizard, sorceress. extract from: Women Who Run With The Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estés p.335 First published 1992, Random House A Jungian analyst and storyteller of many years, Dr Estés draws on a huge range of myths and stories to teach us how we can reclaim, and rejoice in, our true feminine power… if you’ve never read this one or not for a long time, do yourself a favour and try to find it!
GUARANA… Once known as Soapberry because of its ability to clean and detoxify the body, Guarana is native to the Amazon. It is a climbing ramified tree that produces round fruit in bunches, with an intense red colors. After picking the fruit is sun dried and the skin naturally opens, exposing the round black and white seeds that resemble a human eye, and once dried they are then ground into powder. The basic chemical breakdown of whole seed Guarana is starch, protein, tannin, caffeine, theophilline, theobromine, resin, malico acid, saponin, catequina, epicatequina and allanton. Guarana extracts DO NOT carry all the goodness Guarana has to offer as it is just the caffeine these extracts offer. Guarana suffers the same fate, as do so many other valuable plants… through production much of the plants potential is wasted for the want of a particular aspect of the plant. Guarana provides a long list of benefits, for both the mind and the body. Whole seed Guarana contains two mood elevators (Theobromine and Theophylline) that are also found in dark chocolate. Whole seed Guarana is useful to anyone who wants to burn fat faster, improve physical and mental performance in work, sports, and play. In fact Guarana causes the brain to ignore signals of fatigue and discomfort, making it most effective for high intensity exercise such as field sports and weight training. Clinical trials have shown that caffeine will boost the fat burning effects of exercise by 30%. It is well known that coffee (caffeine) does not work in the same way as Guarana does because one or more of the substances in coffee interferes with the effects of caffeine. This is not surprising considering the amount of heat applied in the process of roasting the coffee beans. On the other hand, Guarana is sun dried and ground, which retains the integrity of the compound… the caffeine naturally found in Guarana is slow releasing, providing sustained energy and clarity over longer periods. Guarana’s ability to improve cognitive skills are well researched and documented. A recent study involved giving people tasks to test their mathematics and English skills through the performance of particular subtraction and sentence verification, and there was a remarkable improvement in the group using Guarana and no improvement in the placebo group. much more than just a caffeine hit!!! Studies have found Guarana is useful in the treatment of mental fatigue and concentration issues, and it has been widely used to treat migraines, to clear the mind and wake the body up after a ‘big night out’, and women are known to use it for headaches they suffer during their monthly cycle. A cup of Guarana everyday is a great all round tonic as it stimulates and strengthens the circulatory, cardiac and nervous systems. Guarana is also used in the treatment of arthritis, arterioscleroses, dyspepsia, flatulence, and it also detoxifies the blood… yes it is much more than just a caffeine hit!!! by Will Vallentine Our Mullumbimby based product development business Provenherbs has produced two new whole seed Guarana premixes using only certified wild crafted Amazonian Guarana with a blend of local honey (no sweetener required) and balanced with specially selected natural spices—one of these is a catalyst for the mood elevators in Guarana, which makes it perfect for a sense of overall wellbeing.
