Dear Ones,
Here in Mazunte I started the process of separating the Conscious Loving Workshop into two different workshops. There has been such an overwhelming interest in conscious relationships during this workshop that we are now dedicating an entire workshop only to relationships (hopefully a series of workshops with various specific topics). I say "we" because I invited other teachers to also teach and pass on this message of love.
This workshop, for now named Flowering of Love, is based on the same foundational teachings of the Spiritual Heart and investigates how is it possible to integrate the purity of the Heart with the authentic human longing for connection and how to cultivate holding Presence for ourselves, our partners, our others that we have relationships with and a relationship in itself. The secret to this is to always aim toward simplest thing thus learning to rest in the naturalness of our authenticity.
The second Conscious Loving Workshop related Ta***ic Intimacy will explore more our relationship to sexuality, the sexual impulse and how to become Present and overcome certain unconscious inner movements which appear when this very natural but primitive instinct emerges.

Both workshops will be taught in Mazunte in the Month of April. Please visit the Hridaya Yoga website. I will share the events here as well as they become available online.

Love is a path which is completely purifying if you completely die as your self in Love. A new awakening will happen much before this little death is complete. The courage for complete surrender comes from the trust in this Love. The tea we enjoy is the taste of the boiled essence of tea leaves. All the rest are just props. Drop the props and remain in Love.

"The practical question is how to make the techniques of ta***ic transformation work for us individually. It is easy to talk in a general way about the theory and practice of ta**ra, about taking desire as the path to enlightenment, but such talk is of little value. What is really important to determine, from a close examination of our own capabilities and experiences, the way we handle desirous energy at the moment.... While it is true that ta***ic practices can eventually arouse a subtle, penetrating state of consciousness, which by its own nature is extraordinarily blissful, this does not mean that it is a good idea for us to follow our desires indiscriminately now merely because they too lead to some bliss." -- Lama Yeshe discussing Tibetan Buddhist traditional ta***ic teachings

The natural question arises, what inner foundation can we trust which could allow harmonious alternatives to following our desires? I say "harmonious alternative" because suppressing desires is also not a good idea.

Thank you Mash for your enthusiasm and efforts to make this workshop happen.

Hello everyone. I have created this page as a way to keep the momentum and sharing between the various beings who participated in the Conscious Loving workshop. The page is, however, opened publicly to everyone. As you all know, for some it is difficult to keep the practices learned during a workshop or the momentum of a new philosophy and I am hoping that this space can support the members as needed. Sending you all a deep loving hug, Claud!
