This is the textbook for what sex was made for. Centuries old, Tantric practices are part of a much larger Hindu/Vedic tradition of which sexuality is only part.

Reflect on a moment when a friend or loved one enveloped you in heartfelt appreciation, instilling in you a profound sense of value and cherishment. This warm glow of gratitude is not just uplifting—it is transformative. It invites us to pause and celebrate the people, moments, and experiences that add depth and richness to our lives. Such reflection reveals the delicate balance between vulnerability and confidence in our relationships. By embracing our vulnerabilities as strengths, we unlock deeper connections and foster personal growth.
