Entering the Maṇḍala
To enter the maṇḍala (Maṇḍala Avatara) is to meditate visually on the woman’s yoni. The term
“yoni” is best understood on multiple, simultaneous levels. To gaze at a woman’s yoni is to see
not just flesh, but the inconceivable presence of buddhahood: 1) the nirmāṇakāya - the physical
form of the sacred feminine, 2) the saṃbhogakāya - the yoni of a goddess who resides in the
subtle dimensions, and 3) the dharmakāya - the source of eternal bliss. All this is directly
perceived as her yoni. Bringing conscious awareness to her yoni charges it with sacred power
and bright blessings. You meditate together on it, and as the woman slowly opens her yoni
petals, you see it as a doorway to nirvāṇa. The challenge for both of you is to balance sexual
arousal with mindful awareness, never falling into either lustful desire or meditative indifference.
Armoring
The Sādhana of Secret Vajravilāsinī offers a ritual of empowering the woman’s yoni with a
mantra called armoring (kavaca), in which the man visually places sacred seed syllables in her
yoni. This purifies and transforms her yoni into a sacred instrument.
Mantra Repetition
In Mantra Repetition (Mantra Japa), you bless the female practitioner’s yoni with mantras, by
reciting the seed mantra of the deity many times.
Massaging the Bird Face
Massaging the Bird Face (Khaga Mukhā – lit. bird face) is a practice of stimulating the clitoris
(khaga mukhā, bhāgānkurā, lit. pleasing sprout) and its subtle energy channel. The man places
the tips of his ring and middle fingers together, and with the space between the fingers, massages
her clitoris gently and continuously until she releases her sacred fluids. Generating these fluids
brings bliss and charges her body with strong sexual energies, and the fluids are then ingested or
used in other ritual activities.
Kissing the Yoni
Pleasing a yoni with your mouth is called Kissing the Yoni (Cumba Bhaga). The Hevajra Tantra
notes, “The yoni should be aroused and the nectar of her lips should be drunk.” The yoni’s
magical juices (amṛita) flow, alchemically bestowing youth upon the man who drinks it. When
performed with devotion and nondual awareness, the yoni’s juices blissfully support awakening.
