When you hear the word ‘desire’ what immediately comes to mind? A sound? A caress? A weekend alone with a good book?! When you see a beautiful flower do you immediately uproot it from the ground or do you leave it to admire it later? How about a kiss from your lover? How do you manage that desire?
In all eastern cultures and philosophic traditions desire is an important theme that must be reckoned with by individuals interested in spiritual evolution. In Buddhism desire is seen as one of the major obstacles in reaching nirvana. In Taoism desire is a fundamental aspect of a person’s essential nature which must be fully integrated into consciousness. In Tantra desire is seen as a guidepost toward unity with the divine.
Desire is a function of the human heart and its manifestations are as varied as the humans who feel those desires and project them out into the world. But desire is also a surface, and in Essence of Desire we will explore what jewels of transformation exist below that surface. We will use movement, massage, sound, meditation, the five senses and especially the sense of touch- Taoist & Tantric massage techniques to engage in a deeper relationship with self and lover.
Osho says: “I have a totally different concept of desire. First, desire itself is God. Desire without any object, desire without being goal-oriented, unmotivated desire, pure desire, is God. The energy called desire is the same energy as God.”
“Desire has not to be destroyed, it has to be purified. Desire has not to be dropped, it has to be transformed. Your very being is desire; to be against it is to be against yourself and against all. To be against it is to be against the flowers and the birds and the sun and the moon. To be against it is against all creativity. Desire is creativity.” Osho, The Book of Wisdom.
