Steve & Lokita Carter’s July Newsletter

I’ve always had this thing about concrete pours. When our garage was built, a large concrete slab had to be poured. I was in my element – appreciating the four strong men (all friends of ours), muscles rippling, in their glorious intensity and full focus, moving that fast-drying concrete around as if their lives depended on it.

*Tantra Now* – May 17, 2010

Can you surrender judgments to the possibilities of the moment?

On the packed Amtrak train from Rhinebeck to New York City I sit down next to Ronnie from Rochester. Ronnie is what my judgmental mind would describe as a motor mouth, a simple and charming man in his late 40ties. Sitting next to him for the first 15 minutes, I listen to a myriad of different facts about his life, his long train journey, his plans for the destination. I am wondering how I could politely tell him that I’d prefer some silence. When I can’t find the right words, I finally let it go, resigning myself to listening to him for the rest of the journey – another 90 minutes. Then the sweetest thing happens – I see that he is quite entertaining and a beautiful man after all!

Relieving Menstrual Cramps through Tantric Practice

The breath and the inner flute are the keys to dissolving those pesky menstrual cramps!

The other day my period came on heavy during a workshop. Usually, on that day of the month I like to be in hiding, away from the world. Tantric practice is the last thing on my wishlist on that day! My cramps are strong and last for several hours. And because I enjoy that feeling of lightheadedness and floating in space, I rarely ever take a pain pill. Not even when the bleeding starts in the middle of the workshop!

*Tantra Now* – May 4, 2010

Become aware of the spaciousness that is everywhere, around everything. Ecstatic moments, challenges, frustration, pleasure, drama, excitement, stress, sex, communication – when we recognize spaciousness, the ups and downs of daily life transform into calming equanimity. To us, that is one of the most rewarding tantric practices. We recommend this video — Eckhart Tolle on Spaciousness

    " Steve & Lokita Carter are rare souls-great teachers of the sacred arts of love and communion.

    "Steve and Lokita are the perfect example of authentic Tantra teachers. How do you choose a good teacher?

Margot Anand, best-selling author of "The Art of Sexual Ecstasy" and the leading international teacher of Tantra

    "You can come to this [Tantric Massage] workshop for many different reasons, from improving your lovemaking skills to moving into a higher spirituality. I am more interested in the spirituality and better communication with my wife. But I see the person as whole, and in order to be balanced, you need to be at peace with your body, your sexuality, your relationship with your partner, your communication and relation with your partner and others... This seminar does a great job in weaving all these threads together, and makes you a better person. It makes sex something both very natural and very precious. The meditations help you attain a state of higher awareness. Overall, it promotes love as the only real value in life." Laurent Nicolas, Manager, Hi Tech

    " Steve and Lokita Carter present very safe and powerful seminars on a topic that is so important to most of us.

There might be so many out there who teach, but you guys are doing this with LOVE. It was a beautiful experience for me and lot of powerful emotions surfaced during and after the class. I love both of you from my heart and sending my love to each and everyone I met during the workshop." Mr Sri L, IT Consultant


    "You did a fabulous job with the training.  Both Bob and I learned and expanded our sensuality and connection with each other - which is of course, why we went.   Your playfulness, obvious zest for life, and the comfortable safe environment you created was wonderful.  Thank you for your work and the gifts of expansion you gave to us."
