Leora Lightwoman
Leora has been leading Tantra workshops and facilitating Tantra sessions as a tantra coach with couples and individuals since 1995. She is celebrated for her lively and playful, and yet sensitive and grounded approach to spiritual sexual-loving, and for the safe and honouring space that she holds.
Leora initially trained as a tantra teacher with Margot Anand, author of “The Art of Sexual Ecstasy”. Leora has also worked extensively with other Tantric and Shamanic teachers world-wide, to develop her Diamond Light Tantra. This combines her wide-ranging experience of traditional Tantra with healing processes and an attitude of meditation.
Leora has a background in academic psychology, as well as Buddhist meditation, Chinese Yoga, bodywork, breathwork, Voice Dialogue psychotherapy and couples’ counselling. Leora has produced two CDs on Tantra, and her book, “Tantra, The Path to Blissful Sex” (Piatkus 2004) is a practical and in-depth guide to the Tantric journey.
Enhancing joyful, sustainable intimate relationships, expanding sexual energy into bliss and ecstasy.
Diamond Light Tantra can support couples of all ages and in all walks of life to reawaken and deepen the magical spark of pleasure, meaning, fulfilment and bliss in their sexual-loving connection.
Individuals find that it can enable them to become more complete, compassionate, joyful and ecstatic in themselves, and that their connections with others are correspondingly enriched.
Tantra teaches you how to experience relaxed aliveness in your body and greater intimacy in all your relationships.
It helps to clear blocks that you may have to pleasure and intimacy and encourages the exploration of bliss as a way towards spiritual freedom
How are men and women conceived of in tantra?
Tantra acknowledges the differences between men and women, physically and energetically, and sees them as complementary polarities, like a lock in a key. It is the next step on from the early feminist refrain that ‘women are equal to men’.
It supports equality and true honouring, whilst allowing both men and women to celebrate their differences and surrender to their innate gifts. For example, it is often seen as a problem that men are more ready for sex, whilst women crave intimacy. Tantra acknowledges the naturalness of these primary impulses, and offers meditations to capitalise on this and take attraction and sexual fulfilment to new dimensions, based on this complementary difference of polarities.
