Soul Sex: Tantra for Twoauthor: Pala Copeland & Al Link(C) 2003          275 pagesrelease date: 07.15.06       size: 7.72 MB summary (backcover information) This is not only a book about Tantric practices, but also about how you can use them to create a life-long, loving relationship. Because Pala and Al’s emphasis is on Tantra in relationships, both beginners and skilled Tantric practitioners will find value here. Through the authors’ mix of ancient Eastern sexual practices and modern Western approaches to communication and intimacy, you and your partner will learn to connect in ways that are respectful, nourishing, and lusty. Pala and Al offer their relationship as a model for a successful, long-term relationship in which to be happy, fulfilled, and spiritually awakened. Soul Sex includes thought-provoking discussions, personal anecdotes, and precise but simple techniques to inspire you to apply to your daily life. The observations and exercises included are drawn from the authors’ own heady partnership and from the hundreds of couples they have had the privilege to teach at their Tantra sacred sex workshops.
