THE
EVERYTHING

Tantric Sex Book

Dear Reader

You are busy. Trust me, I know. But I took time to write this book, and you took time to read it, because we are perceptive enough to know that something is missing in our lives, despite our best efforts to cram every possible thing into a twenty-four-hour day.

What is this missing element? Calmness. Bliss. Contentment. If you are like most people, you are so caught up in the rat race and pursuing success (however you envision it) that you dont take enough time to nurture your spirit and your soul.

By learning how to achieve balance within yourselfand with your partner, as well as the world around youyou can lead a life of happiness and harmony. And since personal relationships are often the first casualties of a busy life, picking up a few trick s to spice up your sex life can strengthen your intimate bond with your partner. Bottom line: I think your pursuit of Tantra will bring light and sunshine into your life in all sorts of magical ways.

I hope this book will help you find spiritual bliss and personal contentment. Not to mention, a hot and passionate sex life.

Acknowledgments

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Tantric experts, teachers, and practitioners who generously offered their advice and input for this book. Their insight and wisdom is greatly appreciated. Also, much gratitude to the many ancient gurus who practiced and preserved their mystical beliefs even under great duress and prejudice, ensuring this spiritual art would live on throughout the centuries.
