From the Author
Unique, beautiful and original presentation of Tantric ideas
My book is the result of research and experience and I discuss aspects never revealed before or interpreted for the West.

The very language we use contains the secrets of Tantric sexuality - turn to page 81 and read the Chapter "Sexual Terminology: Semantics of the Inner Life".

You may have heard "it is all in the way y ou hold your tongue!"? Read the Tantric mysteries of why the tongue is an intimate sexual /psychic organ and how an ancient yogic tongue practice can actually slow your metabolism: (Page 58 "The Autosexual Gesture")

Discover the exact definition of "A Tantric Orgasm" and the results: (Page 49)

Find out the truth about the popular idea that loss of energy results from ejaculation and also understand the real reason for Tantric practices which retard ejaculation.( read the chapter entitled "Tantra".)

Learn why sitting up postures are preferred for couples 'coupling' ("Asanas of Love" page 47))

If you really want an esoteric undrstanding of the Chakras as Tantric symbols explore my revelations starting page 69 (A Tantric synoptic Commentary on the Shat Chakras) and study the beautiful accompanying color plates as I take you on an inner journey.

Ecstasy Through Tantra is the only book integrating both Sex Magic and Indian sexual Tantra with original information and insights that are an amalgamation of Western education and Eastern Initiation.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing....
If you would like a good introduction to Trantra then I do NOT recommend this book. It's one of those New Agey, large print books with a lot of waffle about "sex magick". The tantric posture sections was nothing new and a bit sparse on positions etc (and pictures).

If you want a good book on the history of tantra and its philosophy I recommend reading Tantra by Indra Sinha (despite the author's posts being a bit arrogant the book is very well written) and for a good book on sex - The Art of Sexual Ecstasy by Margo Anand.

A wonderful guide to touch the mystical experience of tantra
This book is a wonderful introduction to the the wonders of Tantra. Though not a long book, it has a lot of interesting information. I learned alot about my own body's capabilities and through the techniques, greatly enhanced my enjoyment and my prowess as a lover (and improved my lover's enjoyment as well). Mumford's book is an excellent resource for unusual and powerful insights into the sacred magic of tantra/sexuality. There is a very informative glossary of terms in the book, and explanations about certain aspects that may be surprising. The chapter on the Tantric Weekend is a wonderful guide to share a beautiful and loving retreat with one's partner. I strongly recommend this book to improve relationships not only between lovers but also to one's own potential to touch their own sacred bliss and enjoyment of their own bodies. John Mumford has obviously done his research, because he points out aspects in his book that I've not seen in other books on Tantra. I think the thing I like best about his book is that it allows eastern tantra to meet with the western mind. My current copy is the second one I've bought because the first one I bought became so dog-eared...Highly recommended.
