Product Description
Product Description
So many books on Tantra are obscure, obtuse and of little real use - especially for the Western Practitioner. But finally here is a book which provides a direct, honest, pragmatic, no-holds-barred approach to the most powerful methods for personal growth and spiritual attainment. Sex is one of the most powerful forces on the planet and, until it is transformed, the people and the planet will remain asleep.

Format:Paperback
This book has probably the best set of preparatory exercises for Tantra I have ever seen.Very potent and extremely useful for exploring the physical basis of your psychological stances.Most authors completely ignore the prep phase and encourage you to dive right into "tantric sex".There is a bit of a slog though to get past Hyatt's own idiosyncratic belief system(you can treat this as a test if you like).Still worth the money for the prep exercises alone.

A pretty amazing book really. The first couple of chapters are really Dr Hyatt's philosophy and, really you can take it or leave it. What is more important are the exercises that he provides.
Now I have only done the preliminary exercises and I have to agree with the previous reviewer that the book is worth it for these alone. They are pretty mind blowing in their effect. I have done 'energetic' work with other systems like yoga and Tai Chi, but this outstrips them by quite a distance. I can't explain why they wor either, not by any scientific reasoning anyway. They do not involve any weird yogic stances or difficult postures, just breathing, simple postures and a bit of attention. They really are simple. In some ways you look at them and think, "Is that it? How is that going to do anything?". But they do.
I am looking forward to do further work with this book and can highly recommend it. Buy the book, DO THE EXERCISES, explore and enjoy.

Very Powerful Techniques
13 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
The techniques in this book have had a very profound effect on me. It is a very rigorous program that combines Reichian breathing techniques (similar to rebirthing/hyperventilating) and prolonged sexual ecstacy in an attempt to activate each of the chakras in turn. The big difference with this tantric technique is that unlike most forms of Eastern Tantra, the focus is actually having an orgasm...not an ordinary orgasm but a fully body orgasm that will send you outside space and time. Believe me it will blow your mind! But as I said, the preparations are rigorous and requires real work and committment over a long period of time to obtain the results (several months on the non-sexual pre-exercises alone). It has had a profound effect on my life (for the good) and I wholeheartedly recommend this book and the techniques in it.

The Negative Reviews Speak for Themselves
7 July 2008
Format:Paperback
Looking at the negative reviews you see exactly what Hyatt spends a lot of time in his book criticising. So called "Tantrics" who arn't even liberated enough to leave behind their own sexual prejudices and spiritual boogeymen. If you arn't prepared to face both your "higher" and "lower" Self then you would best leave this Work alone.
This is the best work I've read concerning Tantra. Most other Tantra books spend chapter after chapter obsessing about particulars concerning chakra details, a topic which this book deals with in one chapter. The rest is left up to the student to explore through WORK. It's the seeming simplicity of the instructions which causes this book to be so effective. Instead of endless pious affirmations towards a vauge "goddess," Hyatt's techniques put you into a mental state where the Goddess slowly becomes revealed in all her ineffible Glory (or Horror for some).
If you are really willing to LET GO and experience the Dance of Shiva, I heavily recommend this book as a cornerstone of practice.

rebirth of your Goddess
27 May 2002
Format:Paperback
Secrets of Western Tantra preporatory practise demands one or two hours per week to perform a set of techniques. The actual movements given are Neo Reichian, Yogic, Tantric and Taoist. All tension is released with the breath and dissolved with your sense of feeling. It is hark work, no doubt about it. Its revealed tension and memories and makes me cry,shout AND laugh. Given me a few experiences that I wasn't prepared for, a feeling that a powerful 'energy' was radiating from my hips. It was so strong that members of the opposite sex felt it 15 feet away. Its given rise to a relaxed arousel that can be amplified to insane levels at will.One of the goals of the book is to develop the ability to have 'true' orgasms were the wholebody is involved. I haven't got there yet. The only reqiurement is practise, practise, practise.
