The Tantric Body (Hardcover, New)

There is growing interest in tantric sex which this book addresses with great originality. It is the first book to focus specifically on the body in tantric sexual tradition and practice, and will attract committed audiences from students and general readers interested in mind, body, spirit and eastern religions. Tantra is the Hindu-based religion which links ecstatic sexual practice with meditation and direct spiritual experience. It originated in India some 1200 years ago, when the great sacred erotic temples were built. In the West it is best known for its inspiration of tantric yoga, and its associated ritualistic forms of sex. But is tantra just about esoteric sex or does it amount to something more? This lively and original book contributes to a more complete understanding of tantra's mysteries. Without minimising its sexual dimensions, Gavid Flood argues that within tantra the body is more than just a sexual entity.
