Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I need guidance with a very sensitive subject. I just attended my first Summer Solstice in Espanola, NM. I participated in the three days of White Tantric Yoga, which was phenomenal. However, I have a lot of confusion going on in my head. The eye to eye contact was extremely intense and intimate for me. I have suffered from a lot of abuse since an early age - physical, mental & sexual from both my father and step-father and, abandonment/protection issues when my mother would not stop the sexual abuse after I told her about it. Actually, she married the man after I told her what he was doing to me. I subsequently learned to conceal and protect part of my heart and soul when I was just a child. I am now 44 and have done a lot of personal work to deal with the affects of the abuse, but never give all of myself to anything - even my marriage. I have never even considered trying to get to the part of me locked away for so long, because in my mind, I still have some control if this part remains locked and protected. Well, White Tantric completely blew that out of the water. I feel as though I am completely opened and unlocked now. Looking into my partner's eyes connected deep in my soul and somehow he got the keys to those carefully constructed locks and bars I had errected. I realize this is fundamentally a good thing. I should be able to have deeper and more intimate relationships with everyone in my life - unless I decide to reinstall the bars & chains (perhaps with more security this time!). My confusion comes in the form of my feeling of attachment to my White Tantric partner. I feel as though he touched and freed a part of me not touched in over forty years. I keep thinking about him and want to be with him. I am a happily married woman and I am having very sexual thoughts about my White Tantric partner, who is not my husband. I am feeling very guilty and crying a lot. I have been doing the recommended 40 day meditation, but am consumed with these thoughts of my partner. The thoughts are not just wanting to have " western " sex with him, but rather craving a very spiritual union that I feel like I can only have with him. I have never had an affair, although I confess to a little healthy fantasy or two involving George Clooney. I never thought these kinds of thoughts would be in my head - especially after an event that is supposed to release blocks. I was hoping once I got home and saw my husband again, the intense feelings for my White Tantric partner would disipate, but that has not happened. I have also started writing a journal to try to help me get through this time, but I need more help. I do not have a teacher in this area to talk to about this. I do not want to hurt my husband, so to make sure he does not see any email related to this topic, I have created a special email for joining this group. So, feel free to tell me exactly what you think. This is very overwhelming for me and any guidance from this group would be very much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Dear Confused, Sat Nam and welcome to the wonderful world of White Tantric Yoga. I just completed the same Summer Solstice so I know how you feel. Growth can be a puzzling thing, especially when it involves as much history as you have described. First of all, WTY is an elevated form of a relationship that we all were meant to have with all of those in our personal lives. The feelings you are experiencing for your partner are normal BUT it may be more of a feeling of gratitude to him than love, sexual or otherwise, for him. During WTY you both explored places deep within yourselves and who would not want to be with a person who accompanied us on such a journey. It is obvious that you feel you have found a " soul-mate " in your WTY partner. The reality is that we are ALL soul-mates for each other. WTY is one way to explore that truth. Your relationship with your husband is now primed for a deepening. You must take advantage of it. If there was no way or inclination for him to participate in WTY with you then you will have to bring that experience to him. You are obviously loyal and caring to him. What you have gone through during Summer Solstice can be transmitted to our partners if we are open and honest. This does not meant sharing those " sexual " feelings you may have for your WTY partner. Those are simply your ego's way of interpreting the experience. Your second chakra thinks in terms of sex, so ...! Take this self knowledge that you have blessed yourself with during the WTY meditations and share the knowledge with your husband. (This does not mean that you should meditate with your spouse as you did with your partner. WTY is ONLY to be practiced in the presence of the Mahan Tantric, of course.) But talk with him about your discoveries of your self and encourage him to communicate as deeply as he can about his own feelings and experiences. You and your mind are now very sensitve " instruments " of your soul and you should take advantage of the power you have to light up your life, especially with your husband. The history of sexual abuse which you so openly shared needs to be explored as well. I am unsure whether to need to confront those involved if you have not done so but you probably do need to forgive them and yourself of any real or imagined wrongs. (Please understand that you are the only one who can figure this out and I am merely shouting in a dark room instructions on how to leave! So forgive me if I show only the crudest of understanding.) I hope this has helped. WTY is perhaps the most wonderful inheritance left by Yogi Bhajan and we owe it to him and ourselves and those in our lives to fully utilize the tool for our self improvement. If there is any other way I can help you may contact me on or off list. I am currently away from home but am able to check my e mail every few days. Sat Nam and God bless you.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Dearest Confused Yogi, God bless you. Thank you for writing and sharing your challenging experience and feelings after Solstice. I hope you are continuing or start doing a strong daily practice to fully integrate your Solstice experience now, with your marriage and life at home with your husband. A 40-day meditation following Solstice is essential to completely process your experience and transformation. Sat Kryia for 11 to 31 minutes a day would be highly beneficial, or Kirtan Kryia for 31 to 62 minutes a day. You may have many thoughts and longings and emotional feelings that you are experiencing from your awakening. Try to impartially observe everything within you, your thoughts and feelings, deeply and fully, but without any judgment or attachment or guilt or insecurity. Just watch yourself and deeply love yourself as you continue expanding and integratring, feeling gratitude for your expansion. During this 40 day period, give all of your emotions to devotion to your utter purity and grace within you that you discovered during Solstice and merge yourself in that beauty. Don't suppress your love for anyone but during the next 40 days allow yourself to expand and contain the universe of your entire creation with complete acceptance and understanding and gratitude and including forgiveness for the pain of your past. Utilizing this 40 day period will give you a depth of perspective to make life choices that serve your soul and the highest destiny of all of those you love, rewriting your destiny to live in your highest potential. Your attraction to your partner happened because you awakened your infinite love, so now it is important to realize how you may experience falling deeply in love many times but it is not always a sign that you uproot yourself and your life; it is an experience of our eternal sacred being and our infinite soul connection with others. Whatever happens in our lives, we learn to cherish these powerful connections that we experience. Keep up and write back after the 40 days as the " Aware Yogi! " Many, many blessings. Sat Nam.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Sorry to hear about the abuse in your past. I can understand the challenges you're facing after the white tantra opening. I've done a lot of twelve-step work with sex and love addiction, so my thoughts come from that experience. The primary thing to realize is that during the solstice practices with your partner, you were falling in love with God, not your partner. You saw God through your partner, and you are confusing your partner with God. This is why the fantasies persist. Understanding this is one thing. Doing something about it is another. You need to be ruthless with your mind until you get over this. Do not allow yourself to think about your white tantra partner at all. Decide in advance what you will replace the thoughts with. Whenever the thought of your partner comes up, substitute the other idea. Make the substitute something nice, so you'll appreciate the time contemplating it instead. The really useful information comes when you notice what you were thinking about just before you started fantasizing about your white tantric partner. Usually it's something you don't want to deal with, or something really mundane like doing the dishes. You can use the fantasy as a trigger to face what you'd prefer to avoid. I can imagine all sorts of uncomfortable things are coming up for you about intimacy with your husband, now that you've experienced it with someone else. I wrote a song about this issue. Here are the lyrics: It's Not About You Sorry if I stared at you as if you were my lover. Something in me got too big. I turned to you for cover. Forgive me if you find my ways a little too intense. God gave me lots of courage, but I'm short on common sense. I chose you to divert me from the pain of being alone, The lie that I was not enough as I was on my own I know I get this way sometimes when ego takes control. I fluctuate from feeling great to crawling down a hole It's not about you, magnetic pull, obsessive mind and thumping heart. You're just a trigger. You're not the real thing. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the two apart. I thought I had no power to combat the addict's pull. But now instead of helplessness, I feel complete and full. The power's all around me in a breath, a song, a touch. If I fix on you, then I deny I have so very much. It's not about you, magnetic pull, obsesive mind and thumping heart. You're just a trigger. You're not the real thing. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the two apart. So thank you for reminding me of love that's all around. Because I felt so lost before, I'm grateful to be found. There's just one universal love, and we all have our piece. By trusting its abundance, our loneliness will cease. It's not about you, magnetic pull, obsessive mind and thumping heart. You're just a trigger. You're not the real thing. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the two apart. Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart. It's not about you. It's not about you. copyright 1992 Abbe Anderson Best of luck, Jagat Kaur www.abbeanderson.com ______________________________\ ____ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
