By Katrina Bos
My first guru appeared in 1999 when I was going through a serious illness. He wasn’t a typical guru in white flowing robes.. He was a man (Jim) who had been electrocuted when an extension ladder he was carrying hit electrical wires… He essentially “died” and when he came back he was different. He knew things. He was psychic, intuitive and knew how to heal people. He also spoke of tantra… but that isn’t what he called it.
“He taught me about what humans were really capable of. He used to say that he walked around in a fully orgasmic state all of the time. He just couldn’t understand why people chose to be stressed out all the time when they could simply choose pure ecstasy… He spoke about sacred sexuality… about making love for hours… At the time, I had no idea what you would do for hours.. But mostly he taught me about the nature of the universe… how things really worked.. What humans were truly made for and how we could get there… I went through many, many dark nights of the soul as all my beliefs systems disintegrated… And new understandings became a part of me.”
My experience resulted in a miraculous healing that you can read about in my book “What if You Could Skip the Cancer?” that was published in 2009. (It is available on amazon.com or you can contact me directly and I’ll send you an autographed copy).
It was about 5 years later that the word “tantra” started bubbling up inside my consciousness. The word kind of haunted me until I began researching what this word meant… At the time all I could find was books on kinky rituals and commune living… and then I found Diana Richardson’s book “The Heart of Tantric Sex”.“As I read the book, I nearly cried. It was like someone had actually written down what I knew deep inside but just couldn’t put into words.”
I continued my personal study and practice. My practice brought incredible sexual healing, intimacy with my husband that I had only dreamed of, full-body-mind-spirit orgasmic sexual experiences that blew my mind… but more importantly it was the spiritual experience that fully awakened me.
I’d always considered myself to be somewhat of a mystic.. desiring to experience the divine in everyday life. I studied and currently teach yoga and meditation. I have studied every religion and philosophy going…
But the study of tantra was different. It involved our sexuality, our relationships, our vulnerability and spirit… This was very edgy and scary.. We weren’t allowed to talk about this.. And to connect spirituality with sexuality… Wow… did something every come alive within me.
The birth of Fusion Tantra
After a while, I travelled to study with various schools and to connect into the wider tantric community. I had many amazing healing experiences and met wonderful people. But nowhere did I encounter anyone who was having the same experiences as me… And finally a fellow participant (self-proclaimed tantra workshop junkie) told me “No one is teaching what you offer… It’s different… It’s like magic.”
“When I started teaching, I just wanted to say that I taught “tantra”… without any descriptors… because tantra is a human experience… it just is.. However, the word is used so often in many different ways like tantric massage, tantric dancing, tantric yoga, etc… It was important to differentiate what I was offering”
We called it “Fusion” Tantra because this is literally what happens. As the bodies come together, it feels like you “melt” into each other. That the souls fuse as one. This experience is essential tantra. This is the experience of ultimate unity… the union of masculine feminine, matter and spirit, human and cosmos… This is where we feel ultimate bliss, ecstasy, samadhi and pure happiness and love.
You certainly don’t need a partner in order to experience this oneness. Tantra is always a solitary journey regardless if there is another to “fuse” with… But tantric intimacy and sexuality is an amazing, wonderful way to experience pure happiness… And it’s part of our every day lives.
