<p>If the man is not comfortable in the lotus position supporting the full weight of his goddess, the woman may kneel on him supporting some of her own weight with her thighs. It is important that you find a variation that you can maintain comfortably for as long as you would like.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1438" title="yabyum-tantra" src="http://www.askaboutloveandsex.com/wp-content/uploads/yabyum-tantra-281x300.jpg" alt="Yan Yum Tantra" width="281" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hands help to concentrate and circulate the energy as well. Place your left hand at the base of her spine and your right hand on her back at the heart center. Alternatively, place your left hand at the base of his spine and with your right press the “Wind Mansion” acupoints at the junction of skull and neck. Another variation is to run your hands in flowing motions up his spine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Yab Yum" src="http://www.askaboutloveandsex.com/uploads/Image/PositionYabYum2b.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="333" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When your sexual excitement begins to subside, speed up your breathing and undulate your bodies to build the charge again and move it up. Even with rapid rocking and breathing, there is little actual thrusting happening so the man is able to last longer. Some delightful yoni squeezing will help him to maintain an erection without going over into ejaculation. <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Experiment!</strong></span></p>

<p>Your attention at this point is on working with the life force energy that has been built up during active lovemaking. Do some PC squeezing (Kegels) to help you circulate the hot sexual energy away from your genitals up through your body through the higher chakra centers. Try to exchange your sexual / spiritual energy with your lover, and ultimately use it to make a direct connection with the Divine.</p>

<p>The term Yab Yum is actually a Tantric name. In the Kama Sutra this position is called the Embrace of Milk and Water.</p>
<p>If the lotus position is too difficult, the man may sit on the edge of the bed or on a straight-backed chair with his legs out in front of him and feet on the floor. Once you are snugly connected, be still, look into each other&#8217;s eyes, harmonize your breathing, connect your mouths and tongues with a kiss, or touch third eye points.</p>

We sometimes refer to it as the yum-yum position. Use it for moving and exchanging sexual energy when you are at a peak of sexual arousal and want to ride the wave of bliss rather than to continue building more hot sexual energy or end the lovemaking with the man ejaculating.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;YabYum&#8221; (variation – classic lotus)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="yab yum" src="http://www.askaboutloveandsex.com/uploads/Image/LeslieLeeYabYum4.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="314" /></p>
<p>The man sits cross-legged, in the lotus position, with his partner on top of his lap. You may support his thighs and back with pillows. When you are ready to resume more active lovemaking, you can easily roll from this position into man or woman on top or face-to-face on your sides while still maintaining your genital connection.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The term “sacred sex” may seem somewhat of an oxymoron in western society, a contradiction in terms. Suggesting that you can find your way to God through sexual activity has been a bit like suggesting you can eat your way to thin-ness. Partaking in wildly passionate sex and seeking an intensely spiritual life just haven’t been part of the same curriculum. We’ve been taught that pursuing sexual pleasure, enjoyable as that may be, is at best hedonistic and at worst damaging for our souls. To be a highly spiritual person is to be essentially sexless. It’s an either / or situation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But that view is changing. The concept of sacred sex, finding spiritual union through a sexual one, is slowly gaining ground in North  America. Our psyches are certainly ripe for it. As a society we’re obsessed with sex. In part it’s a lustily healthful obsession, a celebratory dance of life’s great force, but much of it flounders in darkness and neurosis – sex for power, sex for profit, sex for oblivion. We use and abuse sex for everything from selling soap to making or breaking political leaders.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the same time there’s a spiritual hunger running rampant through the land. The ache for meaning stretches from radical through traditional—from new age spiritual to long-established religious, from pagan to fundamentalist. We’re all screaming for substance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well why not unite the two? Bring sex and spirit together and find your magic! The idea’s definitely not a new one. Ritualized sex has been an acknowledged sacred pathway in Eastern philosophies for several thousand years. Tantra, probably the most commonly known form of sacred sexuality, has its home in branches of the Hindu and Buddhist cultures of India and Tibet. Based on a belief that the union of male and female principles (yin and yang, yab and yum) will lead to enlightenment, traditional Tantra uses a complex series of sounds, visualizations, breath control, and sexual positions combined with prayerful thought to reach the heights of godly bliss.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Think about it. Doesn&#8217;t this make sense? Aren&#8217; you a bit currious to explore these ideas and practices a bit more?</p>
