Quodoushka weekends led by Amara are always filled with indescribable sexual magick. With this book she combines a vivid literary style with her practical experience of working energetically through blocks to sexual enrichment. The wisdom rooted in the teachings of the elders comes alive on these pages. Amara has somehow captured their spiritual electricity.

LEARNING TO LEAVE: A WOMANS GUIDE

The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka is a tremendous resource for anyone trying to understand their own sexuality so that they can bring that sexuality to a relationship and participate fully in that relationship. How wonderful would it be if we could teach children sex through this voice as opposed to through television, the Internet, or pornography. I am of the belief that this would lead to far healthier sexual relationships as adults.

FOREWORD

So many marriages and relationships fall apart because they lack a deep level of satisfaction, endearment, and endurance. Until we can learn how to use our sexual soul force energy as a catalyst to increase our sensitivity and connection to life, disappointment and disillusion will continue to destroy countless relationships. Whats needed is a more tolerant environment where people of all sexual persuasions feel free to explore their inherent sexuality.

It is our challenge and our responsibility in this lifetime to transcend limitations of the past, for it is only through ignorance that we surrender our freedom. This is why it is so important to have a more empowered sexual educationnot only through Quodoushkabut through other teachings that encompass the spiritual aspects of our sexuality as well.
