Synopsis

The core practices of the emotionally and sexually balanced teachings on love, intimacy, and sexual relationships from the Realized Master Avatar Adi Da Samraj - Teaches how to overcome the emotional patterning that hinders healthy sexual relationships - Presents a solitary yogic discipline to restore the bipolar integrity of the individual - Shows how to entirely transcend emotional-sexual patterns In all the domains of human life, we now understand the need for an integration of body, mind, and spirit. But despite this comprehension of the holistic nature of existence, much of the teaching offered on sexuality--even sacred sexuality--concentrates on the physical practice, to the detriment of emotional intimacy. Avatar Adi Da Samraj explains that our emotional-sexual life can only be made right through the process of restoring the bipolar balance of the body, and by transcending the ego, the illusory sense of separate existence. He advocates that sexual practice initially become a solitary yogic discipline--an embracing and reclaiming of one's own body--to restore the bipolar integrity that is at the core of every human being. Once this bipolar integrity is established, he shows how a sexual practice of true intimacy--free of clinging attachment--is possible. He also teaches that an unconscious, early childhood reaction to the mother and father governs the emotional-sexual life, a reaction that must be understood and transcended. The emotional-sexual practices taught by Avatar Adi Da are centered in the understanding that love breaks the heart and show that learning how to have intimacy without ego-based attachment is where profound practice begins.

About this title

Review:

""The Complete Yoga of Emotional-Sexual Life "offers some strong connections between sexuality and religion, focusing on the importance of transcending the ego and body balance to achieve balance in the emotional-sexual life. Chapters discuss bipolar integrity and its achievement in a fine survey new age collections will appreciate."

"I wish I had read this book many years ago. That being said, here I am today reading an exact map of the territory I stumbled through for so many years. Through time I learned, at great expense, I might add, that sexuality in a relationship can evolve to higher realms only when ego barriers are dissolved. This book covers it all, starting with the physical and working through the spiritual aspects of having a rewarding emotional sexual life."

"In this inspiring book, Avatar Adi Da Samraj helps the reader understand the need for the integration of body, mind, and spirit to create true and comprehensive intimacy. He reveals, in a captivating and persuasive fashion, how the emotional patterning that hinders healthy sexual relationships can be overcome. This is a book for the many people trying to find a way to make their intimate sexual relationship compatible with a life of real spiritual practice."

His students have established Adidam centers around the world.
