The Sacred Sex Bible

A comprehensive illustrated guide to sex and spirituality.

Sacred sex presumes that male and female essence underlies all existence. Their union, a marriage of flesh and spirit, body and soul, is the path to sexual enlightenment, bringing spiritual wholeness to material life. The Sacred Sex Bible, a comprehensive illustrated guide to sex and spirituality, looks at historical and cultural currents in sexuality and the influence of Western and Eastern traditions, from pagan to Tantra. Cassandra Lorius includes examples of sexual practice and rituals along with exercises on breathing and visualization as pathways to sacred sex, or blissful union with the divine.

The book features:

• A history of sex in the West, including matriarchal cultures (goddesses and priestesses), Greco-Roman sex, Judaism, Christianity, the influence of religion in the pre-industrial age and cultural attitudes.
• Approaches to sexuality, including paganism and earth rituals, shamanic rituals, yoga, body work, dance, Daoism and Tantra.
• Neo-Tantra in the West, including new ways of infusing the sacred into sexuality -- awareness, creativity, focus on oneness, visualization, breath and body work.
• A description of practices that include sensuality, flow and connecting body and soul.

The Sacred Sex Bible is a practical resource for sacred sex teachers, therapists, students and practitioners, holistic practitioners and professionals (such as yoga or meditation instructors, homeopaths), pagans, Tantrics, Shamanists, Daoists, Eastern spiritualists and those exploring a new level of sexual fulfillment.
