Why do bells ring in a Temple or church?

When I went to the Ranakpur Jain Temple in Rajasthan, India, in 2018, the Chief Priest told us that they ring their bells every day before their rituals.

I love the sound of bells, and often ring mine before or after a Tantra session, as part of my opening and closing rituals.

ring my bell!

Here are some of the reasons why a bell is rung in a temple:

Ringing bell in Jain temples

  • To wake you up
  • For left and right brain harmony
  • To balance your chakras
  • De-stressing
  • To get rid of insects
  • To drown out other noise
  • It creates higher vibrations in your body
  • Cleanses mind of external distractions
  • and can make the heavenly beings aware of your entrance to temple.

Church bells are rung to

  • Advise people to come to the service of worship
  • Call the community together
  • Give alarm or notice of invasion
  • Announce time of day
  • Drive out demons and bad spirits.

Bells chime for ceremonies – weddings, funerals or other announcements.
Altar bells are also rung at different times in the service to signify special events.

I have always loved the sounds of bells – small tinkling sounds, as on a bicycle, on a shop door, a house bell (ding dong!), and the bigger, deeper temple bells and the deep gongs of Tibetan Japanese and Buddhist and other Asian countries.

Church bells and the musical carillons still ring in some places – eg Hobart in Tasmania and Perth in Western Australia.

Some people can remember the old school bell which called them to study! Ships also used bells for communication since ancient times..

Musical Bells

Many songs and music, particularly spiritual music from both Eastern and Western civilisations, have bells ringing, gongs sounding, to create a sense of peace and tranquility. Karunesh is a musician who uses a lot of bells and gongs in his music. Tubular bells are another type of musical genius.

All these resonate with your energy, giving some or all of the effects above. They stimulate your energy or vibration, and can calm your mind, energise your body and increase your awareness for peace.

Sounds of Bells

The sound of a bell is a sacred sound, which can awaken your spirit or soul, balance your chakras and uplift your energy and vibration.

Why not add the chime of a bell to your meditation ritual or practice?

Tantra is tuning into your spiritual energy

Tantra is tuning into your spiritual energy

Your body is a portal or gateway through which you can tune into your spiritual energy.spiritual energy My Tantra Massage

Tantric breathwork, Kundalini energy, pranic breathing and some yoga and meditation practices have in common that they can awaken or open portals to other dimensions.

When your mind body and spirit are aligned, controlled and directed with spiritual ascension or enlightened intention, then your energy flows.

  • Conscious Breathing releases and relaxes mind chatter;
  • Touch and connection stimulates and satisfies the body’s sensual cravings;
  • And Spirit soars with the balance between thoughts and feelings – uplifted with unconditional love energy from your heart chakra.

One can direct or lead another to reach these places and spaces, with trust, instruction, energy and vibrational transmission. And the Receiver will transcend to the level of their experience. Some have a pleasant experience, some physical ecstasy, some mystical and others truly tantric full body orgasms or out of body experiences and spiritual energy orgasms.

When I tune in to the Love Grid and ask for love, light and healing for the person I am giving a Tantra Pleasure Experience, I open my energy as a clear channel to receive the flow of unconditional love into that person. Healing can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. The energy goes to where it is needed. Reiki energy flows with heat and strength, filling me up with its powerful healing, healing me, then overflowing into the person to heal their wounds and fill them with unconditional love.

I call it Tantric spiritual energy. It has no name really. It has a flow and never ceases. It can be very strong, hot and insistent. And it can be extremely soft, gentle and light. Always healing. Always unconditionally loving. And the empty spaces inside us that have been lonely and separated and unloved are filled up, connected and energised with the most beautiful feeling in the world: LOVE.

Shakti’s Cave – Part 4 – Shakti massage

Shakti Massage in Shakti’s Cave – Part 4

written by Shiva at Mt Arunachala in India

Shakti turns… She laughs. Shakti is happy!03 shakti massage energy - My Tantra Massage

She holds up both arms outstretched and commands the fire to subside, to close down, its flames shrinking until they are only a small single flame floating above a mound of charcoal and ash.

She commands me to stand she slowly walks around to stand in front of me. She kneels down with both hands cupped she scoops up some ash from the fire. She breathes onto the ash, chanting some soft gentle words in her secret language and while looking into my eyes.

Standing naked before her, my legs slightly spread open, my proud direct lingam his throbbing, my heart beat pulsating throughout its length. I feel flames gently flickering in the palms of both my hands, a rose opens, unfolds in my heart, and at my third eye and crown appears two shining diamonds.

Shakti starts to cover my body with the sacred ash from head to toe, spreading slowly over every muscle, smiling and humming strange sounds, completely mesmerising and entrancing me. Her divine fragrance fully intoxicate me, she bends down and ever so lightly kisses both my nipples, my heart, and my navel, then rising she gently kisses me on the lips. My entire body is now covered in ash all except for my lingam left completely naked. A bowl filled with sweet almond oil magically appears in her hand and she kneels down before me, her face directly in front of my pulsating manhood.

She smiles, looking up into my eyes, she makes sweet happy sounds of approval and delight, she laughs for she is happy with what she sees. She breathes her warm moist breath onto my lingam, she dips her free hand into the bowl of oil and with the softest most exquisite loving adoring touch she anoints my shaft and my balls covering them with oil slowly, gently pulling me while she makes the most magical humming sounds. The fire grows and rises again…

I became conscious of the gentle touch of a feather, perhaps a peacock feather, gently touching and stroking, caressing every part of my body. She teases and tantalises me, running the feather lightly over my belly, my balls, along my perineum, ever so slowly along the full length of my pulsating cock, teasing my head all around. I am completely helpless, I moan deeper and deeper, completely surrendering to the total becoming of those sensations.

She laughs as I shudder and tremble at her divine touch. Shakti is happy!

Shakti bends down and breathing ever so softly into my ear, she hums her magical female sounds, arousing me to a new level of intensity.

Shakti kneels down and gently closes my eyes with her hands. Although I cannot see her I can feel and seemed to divine presence close to my body. I can hear her magically humming her mystifying, magical sounds and they resonate through every cell in my body, vibrating me to a much heightened state of awareness.

Shakti’s Cave – Part 3

Shakti’s Cave – Part 3

written by Shiva at Mt Arunachala in India

At the back of Shakti’s cave there is a small alcove. I did not see at first, and it is as if it has just appeared. I see that standing within it is a very beautiful, very old and ornate lingam and yoni statue, all black and shiny, glistening from the fire’s flames.

Shakti now moves slowly over to the alcove in her slow rhythmic dance, and as she starts to dance to the lingam, so I can only see her from behind. She holds it with both hands while she sways from side to side, slowly moving up and down, her hands also lovingly adoringly moving up and down its full length. She hums and sings the most beautifully enchanting sounds and songs, in praise of its power.

She adorns its base with sweet jasmine flowers that she plucks from her hair, bowing down in honour of its strength, its life-giving force.

***

From behind she is the most beautiful sight to behold. She lifts up her skirt to around her waist and slowly slowly and she still holds the lingam with both hands she seductively, sensually lowers herself down exposing her yoni’s pouting lips to me. She looks over her shoulder at me, looking straight into my eyes, making erotic sounds of pleasure and delight.

I bow down with both arms outstretched to touch the floor. Chanting the words “Om Namah Shivaya!” I honour her in all of her divinity, worshipping the male, the glory of the god.

“Om Shakti Hum”

Shakti’s Cave – part 2

Shakti’s Cave – Part 2

written by Shiva at Mt Arunachala in India

Shakti reappears…

Now she is holding an ancient bell which she holds to her heart between her naked breasts, and she chimes it 9 times. She is standing right before me, looking down into my eyes. She’s naked except for a most magically deep scarlet skirt of the finest transparent silk. It is lined with exquisite glittering gold thread running down in lines from her waist to her feet.

I see the flames of the fire dancing through her skirt between her legs, her inner thighs and calves aglow with the flames golden light. Her whole body glistens with perfumed oil. Her fingers are covered, adorned with rings of gold and silver, jewels of ruby emerald diamond on everyone. Necklaces hang down, pearls and Moonstone’s grace her voluptuous swelling naked full breasts. Silver anklets covered in tiny bells adorn her ankles. Around her waist is a silver serpent, and at her belly just below the navel the snake has its tail in its mouth.

She has a single fine strand of silver and encircling her head and at the centre of her third eye hangs the most exquisite pink diamond, yoni shaped, glittering and reflecting from within, its magical light down into my being.

Shakti smiles…

Shakti fire dance

 

Ever so slowly, she starts to dance, all the while looking into my eyes, her hypnotic kohl-lined eyes mesmerising my being. She dances around the fire, sometimes twirling and spinning, swaying her hips, her whole body writing, undulating, shaking, stamping her feet upon the floor of the cave.

Her jewels and bracelets all tinkling and chiming a subtle metallic beat of their own. Her beautiful full swelling breasts glisten and sway with her rhythm, she smiles at me, delighting in my arousal and complete adoration of every inch of her exotic being. Shakti is happy and she laughs, making the most magical humming sounds and intonations.

A delicious heat arises throughout my whole body, even though I am sitting cross-legged on the floor smiling, my manhood stands totally hard and erect, fully aroused and proudly awakened, pulsating and throbbing with the sacred heat arising upwards, through my body. Divine desire and warmth continues upwards through my centre, through my beating heart, up into my third eye and Crown. I start to hum and chant strange yet familiar sounds responding to her sounds, we become one through the rhythm and sound.

Shakti is happy and she laughs aloud.

Divine Eros

I have read a wonderful book called “The Power of Divine Eros” by A H Almaas and Karen Johnson. At the end of each chapter are questions, which I have written the answers to and share with you here:

oceanic-lovers-jim-warren

How do I experience the selfless giving of love?

When I give people a massage or healing session, I tune into spirit, the divine eros, and open my heart to the flow of love.

I experience it like the feeling of taking someone on a journey, with the power of love, unconditional and honouring. I feel that I guide them to move out of their head into their body and experience the opening of the heart space–a Stargate which they go through or sit on the edge of pleasure, floating on waves of breath, in tune with and in control of their own energy. I feel the connection of our energy–sometimes I let a vibrate me, sometimes it turns me on, and sometimes it gives me energetic orgasms.

I give my body and spiritual energy over to this divine erotic energy and feels wonderful.

I need to be aware of my breath and my control, so that I keep the other person’s energy at all on the edge, without going over.

Sometimes when I’m not feeling 100 percent at the beginning, the healing energy coming through heals me as well and I feel relaxed and energised afterwards.

When people express themselves in moans or words, I feel great, to know I have once again been a tour guide to help them get in touch with the divine erotic energy.

How do I experience passionate wanting?

I experience passionate wanting in the moment. Often when giving a Tantra Pleasure Experience massage, I feel that I “ fall in love “ with the person. I feel very close and intimate. Sometimes I WANT to stay in the moment for ever–feeling the connection and the pleasure, the intimacy and the flow of love that seems to go both ways in a circle. And neither needs to give or receive, take or leave, not separate, just flowing in unconditional compassionate feeling. Is it love? Or divine eros? No words can really describe how I feel.

How I experience the relationship of these 2 things – Selfless Giving of love and Passionate Wanting – in my life, in my experience? 

I experience these two as a flow. As I give pleasure to someone, I feel intimate, connected to them and to the large wholeness of being. The Wanting is to merge rather than a selfish need to hold on or separate. It’s a merging into wholeness.

How do I experience the opposition, the conflict, or the disharmony between this week giving spiritual love on the one hand, and the wanting, the desire, the passion and intensity on the other?

Spiritual love is connecting, easy, flowing and sometimes Wanting is separating and pulsing, not flowing smoothly.

With a lover recently, I didn’t feel that spiritual connection. He didn’t kiss me much, and didn’t touch me much. No desire was awakened. Although my yoni was very juicy, my mind was not turned or not tuned in. It was a strange disconnected feeling, however it still worked. We made love, easily and with good connection. But without intimacy, without love. So I flowed with physical, the passion and His obvious need and desire for sex (but not desire for me). And I flowed with my body’s needs for sex, for release, for physical enjoyment. But I didn’t feel loved.

As Allan Pease says “Women give sex for love, and men give love for sex…”

What are the ways in which I experience my love for the world?

My love for the world comes with compassion, with healing, releasing as much judgment about people so that I can love them and be open for them to learn, heal, relax and surrender. To make a safe space for people to rejuvenate and feel relaxed, empowered and re-energised.

My intention is that the sacred space that I have created in my healing temple room in Adelaide and the portable healing space I create in other cities, towns, homes and rooms, is a safe secure space for people to feel at-home, so that they can release their burdens stresses, fears and anxieties; to heal their hurts and pains, and feel the free flow of the spiritual energy and the connection to the Universe/Source/God to be whole and complete.

I also experience my love for the world by healing the world one person at a time.

How do I experience my love for spiritual freedom?

My love for spiritual freedom is experienced as a light, unlimited, disembodied feeling–like dreaming, like when you first wake from sleep, like a magic orgasm, no limits, no boundaries, just ease and flow. Its like swimming with no clothes to restrict, like flying on the wings of the wind, being transported by a touch or taste or smell. It can last a few seconds, a few minutes, or be outside of time and eternal. It’s a feeling that is beyond sight, beyond words, beyond description. The words talk around it. Like clear sky–eternal and limitless, with no edges, no horizon, no beginning or end.

How do I experience the relationship between these 2 loves? My love for the world and my love for spiritual freedom.

In my Tantric practice and teaching, I am trying to give the client an experience of spiritual freedom and love and loving themselves, by taking them through their body, via breathing awareness, so that they can feel the freedom that I feel. I guide them through a series of steps that mostly gives them a spiritual experience of…

Is it tantra, Home, God, Enlightenment, source, WTF, sexual, spiritual, pleasure, bliss, euphoria or wow!?

Which leaves them often in an altered state, a different space, relaxed and energised, heavy and blissful. They are in love with themselves and feeling free…

What connects them? Me!

Divine Eros is spiritually opening my heart, mind body and soul to the flow of love.

Tantra is spiritual love

Tantra is Sexuality and Spirituality

I used to think that sexuality and spirituality were at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Tantra brings them together. It adds another dimension to sex, changing it from a purely physical act to something beyond.

Tantra combines awareness, mindfulness, meditation – bringing trust respect and love – with the connection of breath and energy of two people.tantra couple sexuality and spirituality

Changing the scenario of one person wanting sex and the other “putting up with it” or one being hyperactive and the other too tired, using tantric awareness of breath brings  your energies into balance and harmony.

As in yoga and martial arts, body awareness is also important in tantra. Awareness of your body, whether tense or relaxed and exploring your partners body and your states of arousal are important. Knowing how to turn YOUR SELF on, with breath, physical movements and mind power means that you can control your sexuality – to turn it on or make the feelings stronger. Tantra gives you keys to do this easily.

Sounds are a simple way of communicating – breathing aloud, moaning, cooing, aums, giggling, your loving feelings to each other. Silence in sex can be frustrating, so ask your partner what they would like (before or during). Communicate what you would like to do, to receive, as you feel in the moment. Keep it positive!

Or set up a scenario – role play, dress up, act a fantasy out. It can be a surprise spontaneous by one person for the other, or a planned scene by both of you together. If you know she wants to act out “50 Shades of Grey” scenario, get some clothes and appropriate gear and surprise her. If he wants to bring in his strong Warrior identity, she can set the scene and you both unfold a co-creation together.

Start your tantric session with a short meditation, a simple dedication to each other. Use candles and incense to set the scene for spiritual tantric sexuality. Honour your partner for the goddess she is, and respect him for the wonderful loving man that he is.

One at a time, tell the other some positive things about them, how much you love them, one person speaks and the other listens. Then thank each other and say what you would like to receive in your tantric lovemaking. Then make sure you give your partner what they ask for, with love and respect.

Afterwards, when you are basking in the after glow, give positive, honest appreciations to each other. How much you enjoyed it – the expected and unexpected aspects of your lovemaking. And give thanks to the Great Spirit, to Source, or whatever name you give to that which connects us, to the Allness of Being, that joins sexual and spiritual together in us.

Tantra is an interconnected combination of sexuality and spirituality
