LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL TANTRA

 

Authentic, lineage-based tantric practices naturally increase feelings of love and connection with ALL of life and within ALL of our relationships – intimate partners, friends, family, pets, colleagues, and even our environment.

Through authentic tantric practices, we no longer experience ourselves as separate, isolated, or alone. We begin to not just think but to FEEL and experience the interconnectedness of all life.

This is our potential as human beings- to know, FEEL, and experience ourselves as connected to ALL OF LIFE – inside/outside/same.

Tibetan Tantric history demonstrates to us that human sexual intimacy, when rooted in a foundation of LOVE, is a powerful pathway of personal & spiritual healing, transformation, and evolution.

In the Vajrayana tantric tradition, one of the primary methods for cultivating this embodied sense of connection to all, is through authentic tantric sexual union practices, rooted in a foundation of love and altruistic compassion.

Within the Tibetan tantric tradition, there are many beautiful examples of tantric consorts (spiritual lovers) engaging in sexual union practice for the purpose of spiritual realization. In fact, Buddhism was established in Tibet through the sexual union practices of Yeshe Tsyogal and Padmasambhava, which were said to be so intense that they melted ice in the caves they practiced within!

Tibetan Tantric history demonstrates to us that human sexual intimacy, when rooted in a foundation of LOVE, is a powerful pathway of personal & spiritual healing, transformation, and evolution.

Much like our Root Lama and his tantric consort of over 15 years, Dr. Erickson and I, Devi Ward Erickson, are authentic Tantric consorts as understood in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. And although we are not sanctioned Lamas, we have been sanctioned by an ordained Lama to teach and practice authentic Vajrayana tantra sexual and nonsexual yogic practices.

For Dr. E and me, the very core of our relationship is anchored in Vajrayana Tantric practice - from eating, sleeping, working, and playing, to making love. We live, breathe, and LOVE in the container of authentic, lineage-based Tantra.

The missing piece we see in most Tantric Buddhist teachings today is the absence of instruction and embodied knowledge around how to integrate your spiritual practice into a healthy, flourishing, and sustainable intimate relationship.

Having a relationship anchored in sacred practice makes every aspect of our lives an expression of the Divine. Every thought, feeling, and activity becomes an offering to the divine wisdom inside each of us, reflected back to us by our environment.


This is exactly what Dr. E and I have practiced intentionally and diligently together for over 8 years and this is what this course series is designed to offer to you - a sustainable pathway of cultivating bliss, equanimity, openness, clarity, and joy rooted in a foundation of love, which is sustained and nurtured by authentic, lineage based Tantra.

tantra healing for couples is not about providing you with “tantra tips for better sex”

 

Tantra healing for couples is about giving you authentic, lineage-based methods for cultivating a depth of spiritual and sexual intimacy that will last the rest of your life.

Authentic tantric relationships are rare. And yet, they are the very reason we have these teachings today.

Dr. Erickson and I are honored to be conduits for these Tibetan 5 Element Tantric teachings and living examples of authentic tantric relationship according to the precepts of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.

Unlike many advertisements on the internet, TRUE, AUTHENTIC, lineage-based tantra is not about chasing peak experiences or attaching to concepts such as “epic sex” and mind-blowing orgasms. 

 

Those are all wonderful experiences that can arise as a result of your tantric practice. But REAL Tantra is about cultivating sustainable LOVE and ever-deepening, ever-increasing, ever-enriching CONNECTION.

 

Real Tantra is about becoming more authentically HUMAN and fully liberated from the 5 root poisons of anger, attachment, arrogance, jealousy, and ignorance.

“My life has been transformed by this experience! Devi Ward Erickson and her husband Chris are exceptional teachers – who beautifully and powerfully embody what they teach. I learned and experienced wonderful techniques and practices that have already enriched my life in new ways. The space Devi and Chris held for vulnerable conversation and experiences was both moving and profoundly healing."

“My wife and I gained skills, techniques and although we’ve both been out of school for years, having homework or more accurately “home-play” has added another (deeper) layer of intimacy to our relationship. We’ve learned to interact not only on a physical level but also connect on an energetic, and spiritual level that’s new and exciting for us.”

"We all know the expression, when the student is ready … but it is a different thing when you find a teacher who so profoundly impacts you that you will forever think of your life as before this teacher and since this teacher.  Devi and Chris are these teachers.  They are carrying - embodying - transmitting - a teaching so profound, it is ineffable.  And life-altering.”

ABOUT US

Devi Ward Erickson and Dr. Chris Erickson met in December 2013 at a mutual friend's party. Although they were in other partnerships at the time, they were immediately drawn to one another and very quickly became friends, and eventually polyamorous lovers.

 

As one of her primary lovers at the time, Devi instructed Chris in the sexual and non-sexual application of Tibetan 5 Element Tantra for holistic sexual healing.

After practicing Tantra within a polycule for over a year, Chris and Devi became primary partners in September 2015 and have been practicing non-sexual and sexual Vajrayana Tantra together in a monogamous framework since then.

Both Devi and Chris have recognized "accomplishment" in several Vajrayana Tantra Deity Yoga practices such as; White Chenrezig, Green Tara, and parts of the Ngondro, amongst others.

Devi and Chris have received instruction and blessings to practice authentic Vajrayana Tantric sexual union practices from the Shanga Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.

They have been given blessing by their Root Lama, Lama Tashi Dundrup, to provide instruction in the sexual and non-sexual application of Tibetan 5 Element Tantra for holistic sexual healing.

There are very few couples who have received and who practice authentic sexual teachings from the Vajrayana Tantric tradition. Traditionally, couples who practice these methods together for the purpose of personal and spiritual realization are referred to as "Consorts". In the field of Western Tantra, there are very few authentic tantric consorts practicing in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, especially those that have the blessing of an ordained Lama to teach these methods publicly. 

Devi and Chris are one of the rare few couples who live and teach authentic sexual and non-sexual tantric practices under the umbrella of an authentic tantric lineage.

They are honored, delighted, and EXCITED to share these potent and transformational Tibetan Tantric healing practices with you!
