"Here is my question. How can I help my wife to understand the benefits of Tantra and to approach it with an open mind and heart, and to sincerely try the techniques taught and from all this start an adventurous sexual and spiritual journey with me as this is what I need and want?"
ANSWER:
Many women suffer from shame and guilt around sex, particularly from family and religious teachings. Because of past conditioning it can be difficult for them to even talk about sex, let alone embrace it. Be patient with her, let her know that being sexual and sensual is a good thing. It’s part of being an all-round woman. She can be a “good” person, wife, mother, business person, community citizen, religious, and a sexual being at the same time. It can take some time for these new ideas to sink in. Don’t push her, but instead let her know that this isn’t primarily about sex, it’s about making your relationship together the best it can be and about her learning to love all aspects of herself and be confident in herself as a woman.
