Tantra Sacred Sex

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. –I Corinthians 13(NIV)

Greta and I believe that for love to make the world go around, it must begin in the home between husbands and wives. We believe that Love must be made over and over in the household between husbands and wives. Greta’s and I have a desire, to help marriages survive, blossom, grow, live and love!

Our community suffers because of the damage that divorce and feuding parents cause to our societal children. Too many marriages end because husbands and wives do not know how to get along. Marriage licenses are given without minimum requirements. Virtually no information has to be absorbed for a couple to apply for and receive a marriage license.

Many couples do not realize that a good marriage takes effort to build. Television gives us several models of marriages, yet they are only glimpses of what real marriages are like. Between a husband and wife, a good marriage takes endless conversation, love, determination, mutual respect and compromise. Husband and wife must work on themselves, as they are patient with one another. They work to embody the spiritual principle of love expressed in the passage of scripture quoted above. They must understand that life is a journey with many roadmaps and opportunities to grow and be enlightened.

Greta and I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. We believe that we are blessed to live and seek to be in gratitude. We believe that we are to develop our spirituality and grow as a result. Thus, we seek to experience events and gather tools that are consistent with our belief to help us to live out our spiritual reality.

One such tool is Tantra. For us, Tantra is a science and a practice. Tantra sees all life as being connected. Tantra is a spiritual practice that helps to integrate our hearts, spirits and sex. Translated from Sanskrit, the word “Tantra” means to “weave” together the intricacies of life into one of balance and harmony with yourself, God and your lover and helpmate. It believes that all life is co-dependent and that what affects you affect me.

Tantra also sees the spiritual and physical connected. It is practiced in many ways just like any other spiritual/religious philosophy. One of the many reasons we practice it is because we have found it to help us understand ourselves as a person. It helped us to open our heart to self and each other.

Our Tantra practice encourages us to see each other as lover and helpmate as we embody Christian scriptures for guidance. It helped us peel away layers of hurt, pain, disappointments, and frustrations that had built up over years and has given us tools to help us as we move forward within our individual and collective spiritual journeys. It has given us additional insight to our Christian practices for spiritual growth and exercise. It helps us to see our love and marriage with spiritual lenses. It helps us grow in Oneness.

We are pleased to begin to share more about our practice and how it has blessed us to be a blessing to each other and other married couples. Our Tantra coaches, Al Link and Pala Copeland joined us on our “Sex in the Morning Show with Gary A. & GretaƔ” as we conversed about Tantra Sacred Sex and our unique experiences and methods of practicing. Included is the link to our Youtube channel. The latest episode is titled, “Tantra Sacred Sex.”

I hope you enjoy and apply some of the teachings to your life and marriage. This interview is imbedded below. Other episodes can also be found at: www.Youtube.com/SensuousSeminars1. Please subscribe to our channel!

Hugs are Great!!!

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. -Genesis 2:24-25

As part of our ongoing intent, “To Make Love.” Greta and I make a concerted effort to live and practice what we teach. We are making our marriage fun by engaging in a variety of activities. We took the scripture, which was read at our wedding over twenty-five (25) years ago seriously. We are seeking to grow and become ONE. We seek to be present in each moment. We are seeking to grab hold and hug.

Kissing, Eye-Gazing and Hugging are three activities that have come to be the tapestry of our “love-making.” I am talking about making love and not sex. Greta loves non-sexual contact. As a result, I have become more sensitive, disciplined and able to meet her emotional needs. That is not to say that I don’t have more work to do, but my work is paying off and Greta and I both feel that our intimacy is deepening.

We are becoming more affectionate and we truly enjoy each other’s company. All of this is part of us becoming “Naked” before one another. We share our thoughts and feelings with each other without fear of judgment, punishment or retribution. Yes, some couples do punish each other for not being who the other wants them to be.

As we are naked we find acceptance with and from each other. This is so refreshing, empowering, honoring and loving. It deepens our trust and strengthens our intimacy. Being conscious that we make time for each other increase our love energy. We both know that enjoying dates and time together is important to the other. We feel loved, nurtured and cherished. We are having our individual needs met and we are meeting the other’s need. It is not always easy, but it is happening more and more and more. We hug. We hug each other in love emotionally, spiritually and literally.

It is such a blessing to honor Genesis 2: 24-45. We are clinging to each other and it is wonderful. Once you put something out into the universe its seems you are challenged. Greta and I accept the challenge to live and practice what we teach. We live in partnership with each other. She has my back and I have hers. It starts with communication. Kissing, Hugging and Eye-Gazing are great deep forms of communication. We recommend that husband and wives adopt them as staples in committed relationships.

“Sex In The Morning Show with Gary A. & Greta” continues to bring more vibrancy into our lives. We are working hard to present truths and practices that will help “you” take your marriage to your desired level. It has been and it is fun and fulfilling. We continue with our “Affection Series” and we look forward to sharing our next segment, which will be dedicated to “Hugging.” It can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/Sensuousseminars1.

We know that the information we share is valuable. It keeps us in a positive and receptive frame of mind. We use it and it works. We present it to you as a testimony of our faith and practice.

We pray that you will use the information that we present to create a marriage and life of your dreams. We encourage you to do the practices that are presented to you.

Yours truly,
Gary A.

Sex In the Show Morning with Gary A. & Greta "Kissing"

This week’s thought is a Sensuous Tip©. In our goal to strengthen marriages, Greta and I not only offer you this “Sensuous Tip,” we also bring you our first episode of “Sex in the Morning Show with Gary A. & Greta. It is about "kissing."

Kissing is a fun and impacting activity that can bring a husband and wife closer together. It is an intimate act that conveys love, care and nurture. Husband and wife need to love each other. They need to touch each other physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Kissing is a sensuous way to connect for it involves all six (6) senses. Yes, Sensuous Loving involves all of the senses, taste, feel, hear, smell, seeing and intuition.

Yes, there are six senses! Since communication is a couple’s most precious tool, whether it is verbal, non-verbal, written or spoken. It is paramount that couples engage in communication to convey their love. Kissing is a wonderful and loving form of communication.

Kissing helps couples connect their heart, mind, body, soul and spirit. As a husband and wife, you have the ability to make this connection fun; however it takes work. This work need not be arduous or super time consuming. It can be fast, invigorating and exciting to the body and soul as all senses collide to offer up pleasure. Kissing is one of the activities we suggest to start you on your way to a more spice-filled marriage. A husband and wife who intentionally pursue ONEness will obtain deeper and deeper intimacy. You can begin this journey by making an agreement to “Kiss” each other before you start your day.

How you decide to “Kiss” and for how long is up to you. This should not be a chore. Kissing should be entered into with a spirit of anticipation, generosity, love, forgiveness, playfulness and mutual consent. Respect is mandatory. As husband and wife, partaking in this pleasure will enhance your love for each other and give it the chance to grow.

Enjoy our Sex in the Morning show with Gary A. & Greta Episode 1 on “Kissing” on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpBcQVNpSKg. As you seek to create intimacy in your marriage, may you and your lover have a Sensuous Day! Yours truly, Gary A.

Sex In The Morning Show with Gary A. & Greta

It has been long awaited and an uphill journey as Greta and I set out to help improve marriages. We simply wanted to create a more marriage positive environment in our corner of influence. We wanted to help people who wanted to help themselves and we wanted to improve bad marriages and relationships and we wanted to help make good marriages better.

Because we wanted to work together as we both fulfilled our personal mission, “to help somebody as we travel along,” we decided to do it through a new vehicle, Sensuous Seminars, LLC. We did not expect such opposition to our desire to offer a different perspective. Having experienced growth individually and collectively in our marriage we have faced and worked through many challenges. We have been willing to be honest about our experience in order to help others.

What we have gone through has pressed us closer together. It has also been a laboratory for us to apply the values, tactics and beliefs to which we subscribed. It has allowed me to grow up and see the reality of the pain that so many of my brothers and sisters live with daily.

As in all things, we can choose to be a victim or an active participant who can use our personal power to determine outcomes. Marriage is a wonderful institution. Husbands and wives can enjoy it and have the time of their life because of it if they choose to do so. “Sex In The Morning with Gary A. and Greta” shares effective tools that married couples can employ to improve their marriage.

We share tools that help us enjoy, pleasure, fun and adventure in our marriage. It is one of our life’s passions. You can check out our promo on You Tube, Facebook, my blog, Gary’s Sensuous Talks at www.sensuousgarya.blogspot.com or Greta’s at www.SensuoussexyGreta.com

Help us get the job done. Let’s change society, let’s fill it will love by changing one marriage at a time. As always we solicit participation. Please tell a friend about our work. Now have a Sensuous Day! This is the beginning…

Yours truly,
Gary A.
