Intimacy Retreat

Tantra Tai Chi

Tantra is a spiritual path from India that uses sexual energy as a driving force for awakening into higher consciousness. Tai Chi, a form of Qi Gong "moving meditation" from China, uses flowing movement and internal focus to increase and balance the flow of energy through meridian pathways in our bodies.

Tantra Tai Chi is a "relationship exercise" that blends the Tai Chi movement and internal focus with tantric sexual energy, creating a strong intimate and emotional connection with one's beloved partner.

The purpose of the program is to bring your mind's attention to your body's presence. When you become mentally and physically centered in your body, you become more open to your naturally joyous state of being. You enter into the "here and now", where only Love is present. Past and future disappear, only the eternal moment exists.

When you move into this sacred moment in the presence of your beloved partner, you share together the Love that lives within each of you.

Throughout all of the Tantra Tai Chi movements there is an emphasis on sexual energy. You tighten the sexual muscles (called "pubococcygeal", or PC) in order to bring your attention to this vital area of your body. Both Tantra and Tai Chi recognize the sex center as a powerful energy vortex. Called the first "chakra" in Tantra, and the Hui Yin point in Taoist Tai Chi, the sex center is the starting place, the gateway to powerful currents of life-force (energy) that can be experienced throughout your body.

The Heart Center, located in the center of your chest, inside your rib cage at breast level, is where you experience personal emotion as well as devotional spiritual love. Tantra Tai Chi teaches you to connect the Sex Center and the Heart Center. When this link becomes activated, energy flows freely between the two centers. Love and sexuality become joined, giving birth to a high state of intimacy that nourishes and fulfills your soul.

The movement of energy between the sex and heart centers is the basic premise of Tantra Tai Chi. As the movements begin to blend the sex and spiritual energies, love becomes a tangible feeling within you. A spiritual opening takes place in the center of your head. In Tantra Tai Chi, this center is called "Bindi". The movements that help you focus your attention in these three centers are called Sex, Heart and Bindi.

The intention of the Tantra Tai Chi movements is to encourage you to explore sacred intimacy. Sacred intimacy is that experience you have when you have dropped all your masks and stand revealed as your authentic self. Underneath all your pretensions and projections, you are a beautiful divine being, perfect and whole. Through Tantra Tai Chi, you can let go into truly being who you are and share your perfect presence with your beloved. This is the greatest gift you can give one another.

How does all of this relate to love making?

Tantra Tai Chi brings your mental attention inside your body. Taking this skill into the bedroom will change forever how you make love. By focusing on the Sex, Heart and Bindi centers during lovemaking, you transform the paradigm of sexual activity from a direct linear release of tension (climax) to a slower journey of blissful orgasmic expansion as you and your beloved dance and swirl between each of the centers.

Passion requires an on-going tension of separation and coming together. Tantra Tai Chi provides you with positions of separation ("Solo Stillness") and togetherness (the "Connected Pose"). Pausing during lovemaking to consciously go within one's self (Solo Stillness), and then returning to eyes-open connection (Connected Pose), can raise sexual activity to levels of intimacy that take you beyond yourselves into spiritual realms of unconditional ecstasy.

Tantra Tai Chi helps you experience the richness and rapture that your relationship can provide. And please know that when you and your beloved enter together into sacred intimacy, you contribute to global transformation by making the reality of Love more available for everyone, everywhere!

The Tantra Tai Chi program is for couples seeking to deepen their intimacy and emotional closeness. Tantra Tai Chi(TM) is a short series of qigong-style movements that emphasize sexual energy and spiritual awakening within the context of a loving relationship. The exercises are designed as a practice for sacred sex and can easily be performed and enjoyed by couples of all ages. The video includes an easy-to-follow guided practice session. Available on DVD. Featured in the book Tantric Sex for Busy Couples: How to Deepen Your Passion in Just Ten Minutes a Day.

Those who have attended workshops with us say that Tantra Tai Chi brings a ceremonial aspect to intimacy and can enhance your lovemaking. By practicing the easy movements, you experience an increased energy connection with your beloved.

In and out of the bedroom, we all have within us a yearning for this connection, this sense of sacred intimacy. Tantra Tai Chi helps fulfill that yearning.

Learning to consciously focus energy in your sex center and your heart, and to be open to spiritual expansion, will transform your lovemaking and your life.

Even practiced alone, the movements are energizing and create a joyous feeling within you.

TANTRA TAI CHI FOR LOVERS
Is it Tantra or Tai Chi?
Natural Awakenings Magazine

Couples from all over the U.S. have found Diana and Richard Daffner on the Internet and have come to Siesta Key, for a week or weekend, to learn Tantra Tai Chi for Lovers.
Diana easily explains the growing popularity of Tantra: it works! Tantra offers couples a way to deepen their intimacy, their connection with one another.
What is this mystical sounding practice? Tantra, which originated in India, is a spiritual path that recognizes sexual energy as the embodiment of divine creation. Tantra practitioners purposefully experience expanded orgasms as a way of moving energy into higher chakras for spiritual transformation.
Tantra encourages joyful mindfulness, living each moment, being in relationship, participating in each activity, with awareness and a sense of the sacred.
How does this relate to Tai Chi, the solitary Chinese exercise program of slow, dance-like movements? Tai Chi is performed with the same mindful awareness and centering that Tantra requires. Tantra Tai Chi for Lovers is a movement modality specifically designed to enhance and synchronize loving sexual energy through partner exercises. It is appropriate for couples of all ages, regardless of physical ability.

Emotions in Motion By Diana Bogan           Weekly Planet NEWS
Some Sarasotans are learning to tap into their own sexually energy - sans supplements. The drug free path to heightening intimacy is Tantra Tai Chi, a series of movements that help individuals connect with both themselves and their partners.
    Tantra is a spiritual path that uses sexual energy to reach a higher con-sciousness, and Tai Chi is a "moving meditation" that increases the flow of energy through the body's chakras. The combination of these practices is meant to focus us, internally and externally, on the present moment.
    I met up with the Richard and Diana Daffner at the Body and Soul Yoga Cooperative in Towles Court, where they teach a 90-minute lesson every month.
    After a brief overview of Tantra Tai Chi's roots, the Daffners demonstrated the movements we would be learning. A magnetic energy seemed to come be-tween them as they moved slowly and gracefully through the Tantra Tai Chi positions. The fluid motion is like a ceremonial dance, calming to watch and simple to learn.
    The first thing we did learn was not the dance but how to "squeeze our sex," meaning those famous muscles used to stop the flow of urination, thus raising an awareness of our sexuality. Once this was mastered we paired up and went through a series of tai chi movements to create a movement of energy from the sexual region up to the heart. We also alternated between a still position, called "solo stillness", and connected positions where we mirrored each other's movements. As we moved together we maintained eye contact, and as we paused in stillness our eyes closed to focus inward..
    Even though my partner for the class was a complete stranger, I come to feel a sense of energy between us. Keeping the eye contact was the hardest part, but with my partner at home this is what fostered a sense of connection and intimacy..
    The moves are easy to learn and easy to teach a partner too shy to attend the class. The emphasis on grounding the individual before moving in unison keeps the focus revolving from an internal state to a shared state. It forces couples to take the time to slow down and deliberately share the present moment together.
