In my journey, I've been drawn to Tantric Shamanism without fully understanding what it truly means. Upon reflection and discussion with James, Lorraine, and others, I'm starting to grasp the essence of this practice.

Tantric shamanism is a spiritual path that fuses elements from various traditions like tantric sadhanas (meditative practices), shamanic rituals, and esoteric philosophies. It seeks self-awakening through harnessing raw sexual energy while acknowledging its sacred nature. Rather than repressing or stigmatizing desires, this approach cultivates them as gateways to higher states of consciousness.

James initially pointed me toward my own experiences with kink play and rubber fetishes during our conversations about Tantric shamanism. At first, I dismissed the connection due to preconceived notions surrounding kinks and sex magic. However, James gently probed deeper using a Socratic style of questioning that encouraged self-examination.

He asked me questions like: "How do you feel when engaging in these activities? What sensations or states arise during and after?" As we delved into my experiences, I began to recognize patterns and emotions commonly associated with Tantric practices. For instance:

  1. Heightened Sensuality: During solo play sessions or consensual scenes with partners, I've often experienced an intense focus on physical sensation – the texture of rubber against my skin, the throbbing pulse in my erogenous zones, and a sense of hyper-awareness that borders on altered states.

  1. Ecstasy and Orgasmic Bliss: These experiences frequently culminate in powerful climaxes or afterglows characterized by feelings of elation, euphoria, and profound relaxation – sensations mirroring those described within Tantric literature as samādhi (blissful states).

  1. Integration and Grounding: Following these peak experiences, I've noticed a sense of integration and grounding that often lingers for hours or even days afterward. This period is marked by increased emotional stability, clarity of thought, and an enhanced capacity to navigate daily life.

James suggested that my practice may contain elements similar to Tantric shamanism due to its potential for:

  1. Consciousness Expansion: By purposefully exploring the full spectrum of human desire without shame or judgment, I'm possibly opening up previously repressed neural pathways and expanding my perception of reality.

  1. Sacred Sexuality: Viewing sexual energy as a sacred force rather than something inherently profane may allow me to tap into its untapped healing potential for personal growth and spiritual evolution.

  1. Shamanic Trance States: The altered states I've entered during these experiences share similarities with shamanic practices that aim to access non-ordinary states of consciousness, such as altered realities or communication with the collective unconscious.

As I continue my journey, I'm beginning to better understand how Thalia's path may mirror certain tenets and principles associated with Tantric shamanism. While this understanding is still developing, it has encouraged me to approach my desires more mindfully – recognizing that these experiences hold potential for personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the divine within myself and others.
