About this listen
Twenty transformative stories and sexual healing practices from international pioneers in the sexual shamanism movement
- Reveals intimate details about how each sex shaman overcame personal struggles with heartache, jealousy, mental illness, or social shame to realize their calling as a sacred sexual healer
- Includes 20 in-depth embodiment exercises such as soul gazing, contacting your spirit guides, sexual divination, energetic sex, self-pleasuring, moon blood rituals, and sacred sexual storytelling
- Includes contributions from 20 diverse voices in the sexual shamanism community, all part of the mystery school ISTA: International School of Temple Arts
Drawing on traditional and modern practices, a sex shaman uses the power of erotic energy as a healing medicine. They channel divine love and embrace sexuality freely, practicing polyamory, sexual healing, and even sex magic. They teach tantra, trance dance, kundalini yoga, and other techniques for healing shame, guilt, fear, and sexual trauma.
Designed to guide the listener on a journey into their own sacred sexual awakening, this book shares true stories from 20 visionary pioneers in the sexual shamanism movement, all of them associated with the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA), a mystery school that works to illuminate the path of sexual shamanism and heal the split between sex and spirit, release the shame surrounding sexual awakening, and inspire more sexual liberation around the world. The teachers reveal intimate details of their life stories and sexual awakening journeys, showing how, by surrendering to the wisdom of the erotic current of the universe, transformation occurs.
Each story is accompanied by an in-depth embodiment exercise with step-by-step instructions, including soul-gazing, contacting your spirit guides, sexual divination, energetic sex, self-pleasuring, moon blood rituals, and sacred sexual storytelling. Underlying these exercises is the belief that the body is a temple that opens with pleasurable worship so spirit may dwell more fully within.
The 20 contributors include Baba Dez Nichols, Bruce Lyon, Crystal Dawn Morris, Dawn Cherie, Deborah Taj Anapol, Ellie Wilde, Janine Ma-Ree, KamalaDevi McClure, Komala Lyra, Laurie Handlers, Lin Holmquist, Matooka Moonbear, Mia Mor, Ohad Pele Ezrahi, Patrik Olterman, Raffaello Manacorda, Ria Bloom, Sean O’Faolain, Stephanie Phillips, and Stephen SouLove.

Story
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India.

This book gives the new sexual narrative, what the authors call "sex erotic". A Return to Eros: On Sex, Love, and Eroticism in Every Dimension of Life, from Drs. Marc Gafni and Kristina Kincaid, reveals the radical secret tenets of relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the holy.

Critic reviews
“A fascinating and informative look at the lives of the sex shamans of the International School of Temple Arts tribe. As you pore over these pages, you will be entertained, educated, and have your mind blown open to new possibilities.” (Charles Muir, president and director of studies at the Source School of Tantra Yoga)
“The sexual and the spiritual are connected, and the importance of ritual in sexuality is a potent truth. Sex Shamans helps us move toward that great truth, through personal stories and accounts of transcendence through sex, the divine in the erotic, and the rituals that have helped many seekers and teachers to meet their own divinity through sexual energy, power, and expression.” (Amy Jo Goddard, author of Woman on Fire)
“Incredible and profound stories with something to offer anyone exploring their sexuality. These stories are bound to titillate your imagination, while providing you new insights into what is possible to experience in your body.” (Destin Gerek, author of The Evolved Masculine)

Excited to listen again
I loved the format and rich content.
KamalaDevi gathers the best story tellers of the sacred sexuality realm.
This book is for anyone who is interested in ISTA, sacred sexuality, anyone feeling a spiritual crisis, or anyone who has been through ISTA and interested in integrating the teachings deeper.
I feel there was so much to learn I'll have to come back and relisten.

Not much depth to the content from what I can tell, absolutely terrible narration
I'm 3.5 hours in and I'm going to abandon this book because it is STILL just giving personal backstory without a lot of clear lessons for the reader. I've been searching for the there there, and have been diving into every book I can find on this topic, but this one has not felt worth my while. I also can't believe that they apparently paid a narrator for this book; it's one of the most stilted narrations I've heard. Someone reading from the page very obviously, and overpronouncing 't's like in wat-ter. I assumed it was the author reading because it was so unprofessional, but I guess it's not. Don't waste your money.
