Stress Reduction: Engaging in Tantric practices can promote relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional balance. Chronic stress has been linked to menstrual irregularities and exacerbation of menstrual pain. By reducing stress levels, these practices may indirectly alleviate menstrual discomfort.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2. Hormonal Balance: Tantric practices that involve the cultivation and circulation of sexual energy aim to balance hormonal fluctuations in the body. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to menstrual irregularities and pain. By promoting hormonal balance, these practices may help regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce associated symptoms.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3. Pain Management: Some Tantric techniques, such as wave orgasm methods, emphasize the cultivation of multiple, subtle waves of orgasmic energy throughout the body. This heightened state of arousal and pleasure may release endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving hormones. By promoting relaxation and pleasure, these practices may alleviate menstrual pain.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">4. Mind-Body Connection: Tantric practices encourage a deep connection between the mind and body, fostering greater awareness of bodily sensations and energy flow. Developing mindfulness and body awareness can help individuals better understand and respond to their menstrual cycles and associated symptoms, potentially reducing pain perception.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">5. Emotional Well-being: Tantric practices promote intimacy, connection, and emotional fulfillment in sexual relationships. Positive emotional experiences can have a beneficial impact on overall well-being and may mitigate the effects of menstrual pain.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/z5vND7j67tY4tpGc/?mibextid=9VsGKo" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/share/z5vND7j67tY4tpGc/?mibextid=9VsGKo</a><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div> Michal Tantrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09077380463639781048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296992311073749658.post-69534818615577986012024-02-26T09:42:00.000-08:002024-02-26T09:43:13.298-08:00🇺🇦 A personal message<div dir="auto"><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><br><br><u></u> <div style="background:#fafafa"> <div style="display:none;max-width:0px;max-height:0px;color:#ffffff;font-size:1px;line-height:1px;opacity:0;overflow:hidden"> What if Putin paid the bill for rebuilding Ukraine? </div> <div style="background:#fafafa"> <img src="https://open.avaaz.org/act/open/21187674607.gif" border="0"> <div style="Margin:0px auto;max-width:600px"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:100%" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td style="font-size:0px;text-align:center;direction:ltr"> <div class="m_6077077928563672683email-inner" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;font-size:0px;text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="vertical-align:top" role="presentation"> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div style="Margin:0px auto;max-width:600px"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:100%" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td style="direction:ltr;padding:20px 0;padding-bottom:0px;font-size:0px;text-align:center"> <div style="Margin:0px auto;max-width:600px;background:#efefef"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background:#efefef;width:100%" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding:0;font-size:0px;text-align:center;direction:ltr"> <div class="m_6077077928563672683email-inner" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;font-size:0px;text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="vertical-align:top" width="100%" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" style="padding:0 0 24px 0;font-size:0px;word-break:break-word"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:600px"> <a href="https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/seize_russian_assets_loc/?bwQkDab&v=155401&cl=21187674607&_checksum=7ea692de55f8b94e7c7ebbd6f09ddc2422ffeadbd499ef9b5a975a204a2bd2a3" style="color:#ff0099" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img width="600" height="auto" src="https://avaazimages.avaaz.org/50336_UKR_pivot_option_1_3_533x300.jpg" alt="Sign now" style="display:block;width:100%;height:auto;border:0;font-size:13px;text-decoration:none;outline:none"></a> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" style="padding:0 25px 24px 25px;font-size:0px;word-break:break-word"> <div style="color:#202124;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;text-align:left"> We Ukrainians are <strong>dying to defend democracy. </strong>I expect to be called to fight soon so I wanted to use this sad anniversary to tell you that <strong>our hope for the future is fading. </strong>We're tired and we're terrified.

South Africa is suing Israel before the International Court of Justice for alleged genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Within days, the judges could order an immediate ceasefire – but Israel is trying to prevent this. Let's increase pressure to stop the war by urging world leaders to support this push to end the bloodshed. Let's end this horror now! The South African government just urged the International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set to fight tooth and nail to delay a decision.As millions of innocent people trapped in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South Africa's push to end the bloodshed.Wherever you are, whatever your political views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel warned could be a "a genocide in the making".

The 70% of all the objects, bodies, concrete and dogshit that we consider "reality" is in fact unidentified and named by the scientists "dark energy" or "dark matter." The colonial habit of the Heart of Darkness….</p> <p style="line-height:140%"> </p> <p style="line-height:140%">If we are walking into the 6th Extinction with ideas for making change, then we will have a much different experience in the ordinary moment. Our revolutionary approach to the corrupt and the fearful will have life and death in it, like a forest, like an alpine meadow, like a coral reef.

This space anchors energy for transformation, healing, blossoming your gifts to serve love. We support embodying the vision in action - not just theory.

Yet depending on where they are in Europe, victims of rape are not treated equally. In the collective imagination, and in the law of half of European countries, rape is not defined by the absence of consent but only by the use of force. When they dare to speak, victims are systematically called upon to prove that they <em>struggled enough</em>.

This might be your first donation to our movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for good in the world.<br><br><br><br>---<br><em>Note: The photo we're using shows Adam Abdel, a young boy from central Darfur. He was badly burned when the Sudanese government dropped a bomb outside his home, in Burgu, Sudan, February 12, 2015. That violence is still ongoing -- and all signs are now pointing towards genocide. But due to the extreme danger and restrictions that journalists are facing, we are relying on older images to portray the violence unfolding today. As Darfur edges towards genocide again, reporters must be able to document mass atrocities so the bloodshed can be stopped -- and those responsible held to account.

He was badly burned when the Sudanese government dropped a bomb outside his home, in Burgu, Sudan, February 27, 2015. That violence is still ongoing -- and all signs are now pointing towards genocide. But due to the extreme danger and restrictions that journalists are facing, we are relying on older images to portray the violence unfolding today. As Darfur edges towards genocide again, reporters must be able to document mass atrocities so the bloodshed can be stopped -- and those responsible held to account.</em><br><em>Image credit: Adriane Ohanesian</em> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:0 25px 24px 25px;font-size:0px;word-break:break-word"> <p style="Margin:0px auto;width:100%;border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-size:1px"></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" style="padding:0 25px 0 25px;font-size:0px;word-break:break-word"> <div style="color:#202124;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;text-align:left"> <strong>More information:</strong><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/02/uganda-parliament-passes-anti-lgbtq-bill" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><br><ol><li><a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/07/11/sudan-darfur-town-destroyed" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#ff0099" target="_blank">Sudan: Darfur Town Destroyed</a> (Human Rights Watch)</li><li><a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/08/sudan-war-crimes-rampant-as-civilians-killed-in-both-deliberate-and-indiscriminate-attacks-new-report/#:~:text=Women%20and%20Girls-,Sudan%3A%20War%20crimes%20rampant%20as%20civilians%20killed,both%20deliberate%20and%20indiscriminate%20attacks&text=Extensive%20war%20crimes%20are%20being,said%20in%20a%20new%20report." rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#ff0099" target="_blank">Sudan: War crimes rampant as civilians killed in both deliberate and indiscriminate attacks</a> (Amnesty International)</li><li><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/29/sudan-darfur-genocide/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#ff0099" target="_blank">In Sudan, a genocide unfolds — again — and the world does little</a> (The Washington Post)</li><li><a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/07/1138692" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#ff0099" target="_blank">Darfur: International Criminal Court launches investigation into surging violence</a> (United Nations)</li></ol> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div style="Margin:0px auto;max-width:600px"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:100%" role="presentation"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding:20px 0;font-size:0px;text-align:center;direction:ltr"> <div class="m_5312138142003193085email-inner" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;font-size:0px;text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="vertical-align:top"> <tbody><tr> <td align="left" style="padding:0 25px 24px 25px;font-size:0px;word-break:break-word"> <div style="color:#adadad;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:left"> <strong>Avaaz is a 70-million-person global campaign network</strong> that works to ensure that the views and values of the world's people shape global decision-making.

It is a response to all the contemplations and questions from my beloved students:</p> <p dir="ltr">"I am just igniting the fire that is already within you. I am merely a channel for the energy of love that resides in all of us. Use it, don't lose it! Let it flow."</p> <p dir="ltr">As a teacher of Tantra, I am here to guide you on your path of self-discovery and transformation. However, the true power lies within you. The fire of love burns brightly within every soul, waiting to be awakened and unleashed.</p> <p dir="ltr">I act as a catalyst, a spark that ignites the flame, but it is you who must tend to it and keep it burning. Embrace the power of love within you and allow it to flow freely through every aspect of your being.</p> <p dir="ltr">Do not let this divine energy go to waste. Embrace it fully, for it holds the potential to create profound shifts and awakenings in your life. Let it flow through your thoughts, your actions, and your relationships, transforming everything it touches.</p> <p dir="ltr">As you embark on this journey of self-discovery, remember that the power of love is infinite. It is a force that transcends time and space, connecting us all as one. Embrace this universal love, and let it guide you towards greater understanding, compassion, and unity.</p> <p dir="ltr">So, dear students, remember that I am here to support you, but the true teacher lies within. Ignite the fire of love, and let it lead you to a life filled with beauty, wisdom, and grace.</p> <p dir="ltr">I'm attaching the video from another teachers about our Tantra Teachers Course:<br> <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XjxQ9TPByq0&list=PL8M5t5cY3plYGEfl43vmNG5dtw1wt0_k3&index=2">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XjxQ9TPByq0&list=PL8M5t5cY3plYGEfl43vmNG5dtw1wt0_k3&index=2</a></p> <p dir="ltr">With love and light,<br> Michal Kali Griks<br> Tantra Movement School<br> tantramovement(dot)com/tantra-teachers-course/</p></div> Michal Tantrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09077380463639781048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296992311073749658.post-67224019358698331572023-08-02T08:03:00.000-07:002023-08-02T08:04:12.271-07:00Amazon collapse?
