Subject: [K-list] A couple starting out...
From: Dalede

Hello All,
My Wife and I are starting out journey along the path of
Tantra. However we seem to be traveling at different speeds along
the path. Realizing that no one on this list truly knows us some
basic background information is now in order….. Presented in two
sections ---

Myself:
  37 yrs old. Own my own company. I now live in the United States
but spent over ¾ of my life traveling to and living in different
countries all over the world. My work keeps me traveling on a global
basis. (Europe, Asia, Africa, Etc…) As a result I have developed a
strong desire to study and experience as much of the cultural of the
country I am visiting as possible. – . This also includes a study of
the local philosophy in regards to politics and religion. I try an
incorporate as much of what I take as "good" from these cultures into
my life. If studying a certain subject requires attending an event I
will do so if possible.

My Wife:
30 yrs old. She has never left the United States. (I am planning to
take her to Europe later this year however.) Extremely intelligent
though threw no fault of her own was unable to obtain the formal
education she deserved. (A long story of abuse in her household as a
child led to the courts declaring her an emancipated minor at the age
of 14.)

Over the years our bond of trust in each other has grown complete –
Now… How does all this relate to Tantra…?

Our studies seem to be working like this---

I bone up on a technique – breathing, the study of charka activation
etc and then pass this on to her. Although this works per say it is
by far not the most efficient method of study. Why like this? She
is unwilling to attend a formal course in the art of Tantra. I
attribute this directly to her being abused in her formative years –
unwilling or unable to learn / share with others for fear of being
abused yet again….

Can any of you think of a way to help her overcome this fear?

Do any of you think that if I take a course on my own – would I then
be able to effectively pass on the art to her? (I have yet to
discuss this idea with her – I am not sure if she would be
comfortable with this idea)

Any ideas at all would be helpful…

Thanks

Dale
