Introduction
This book is a guide for both men and women on how to become multi-orgasmic and have mind-bending full-body orgasms. Its also a guide to finding fulfillment both in and out of the bedroom. I offer this book, dear reader, as a guide to ways that you can bring more pleasure, joy, creative flow and meaning into your life. Much of the information in this book was gathered during the last half of my life, which was further substantiated doing research for my Masters thesis. The more I incorporate into my daily life the techniques offered in this book, the happier and more fulfilled I feel on a day-to-day basis. While not all of the practices may immediately seem to relate directly to ones perceptions of sexuality, the techniques all enhance ones potential to live a richly fulfilling and multi-orgasmic life.
Sexuality is a natural part of human function. Its the fabric through which we were all created and part of being truly alive. Sexual energy is as natural and needed as the air we breathe or the food we need to nourish our bodies. Our bodies are not only wired for more pleasure than many people know is possible, but by tapping into this potent life force, its possible for you to live an infinitely more joyful, flowing and happy life than you ever dreamed possible. Your energy will radiate outward into all areas of your life because sexual energy is creative, joyful, and fulfilling. Embracing and utilizing your innate sexual energy is a component of living your highest life potential.
Many of the techniques I describe in this book have been used successfully for thousands of years. Using the practices regularly can lend a centered revitalization throughout your everyday life. Each practice described is followed by an affirmation and a brief exercise to help you integrate the information. Each of the techniques I offer can be added to even the busiest of schedules, enriching your day. Once you've learned these practices, they can be a powerful and valuable resource you can draw upon for the rest of your life.
When I was in graduate school writing about and using these practices, I'd occasionally meet up with friends who hadn't seen me in some time, and they were always astounded when they saw me. They knew Id been putting in a multitude of hundred hour weeks one after the next without a break and wanted to know how I was so energized, radiant, and happy. It must be all of the full-body orgasms, I explained, with a smile on my face. It is my hope that youll soon be able to say the same.
The Journey
In this book, I break up the teachings and techniques into a simple daily practice. The technique is detailed, then followed by an exercise, giving you a chance to implement the lesson. While some of these practices may not seem sexual, each is there to assist you with embracing the essential and highly creative sexual energy with which we were all born. These are practices I have found to be particularly life transforming. Many of the exercises I detail are centuries old. I hope to demystify esoteric language to bring these ancient teachings forth in a way that is relatable and easy to understand. I know from first-hand experience that these practices can allow for your sexual energy to be embodied in ways that lead to healing, growth and transformation, and that if you implement them, theyll infuse your life with a greater sense of trust, peacefulness and ecstatic joy. Most of these teachings are based upon and adapted from literature I have read through scholarly work and my own inquisitive nature, workshops I have attended, and personal experiences I have found to be valuable over decades. This is the book I wish I'd had when I first set out to learn Tantra and becoming multi-orgasmic. It is my hope that such offerings will inspire you to explore your sexuality in ways that empower and enrich your life.
Allow yourself to embark upon this new journey as an observer, noticing what feelings come up, but without placing judgements on it. Do you feel resistance to certain exercises? We all have different belief systems, influenced by how we were raised and the people we've continued to surround ourselves with, including media, entertainment and various institutions. If you experience a particular charge around views on sexuality, look at where this came from. Who taught you these rules on life, and are they working for you? Tune into what rings true for you. If you're willing to set aside limiting belief systems, you'll find this book full of tools that will transform your life. Hold the vision of yourself living a satisfying, multi-orgasmic life. Imagine yourself living life with more vibrant, joyous energy, your relationships being more loving and harmonious, and no longer being brought down and at the affect of outside influences. You will live from a place of your personal power and connection, have more creative energy, and experience attracting the people and experiences that support your life, rather than expending energy to chase things down, searching for something you feel is lacking in your life. You are creative, abundant and ripe to experience deep fulfillment. You may be having frequent mind-bending orgasms that roll through your whole body. That is whats meant by living a multi-orgasmic life. It is my wish that you step into your greatest multi-orgasmic life potential.
My Journey
To dare to tread where passions pulse carries us
live fully, deeply within the moment
let hearts calling awaken
be nourished
and blossom.
Antonia Hall
Sitting on a mat on the floor, I feel the firmness of the ground beneath me, letting my breath ground and connect me. My breath has been with me since the beginning, and will be with me until the end. Breath makes its way from my lungs into my bloodstream, exploring me from within, more deeply and more intimately than any lover could. A willingness to sit with my breath, expanding into it and its myriad shapes and possibilities, carries me into ecstatic states.
I was raised in a permissive household, post-Sixties freedom revolution. Sexuality and the naked body didnt come with shame attached. Curious about sexuality, I began reading up on and studying sexuality by my preteen years. Throughout my young adulthood I found myself in the role of teacher about sexuality and sexual reproduction for my peers.
