They can enable experiences to unfold, and they can clear the way when there seem to be problems or hindrances practitioners are struggling with. In \u003ci\u003ePreparing for Tantra, \u003c\/i\u003e Preece draws on his experience as a Tantric Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher, and psychotherapist to explain how to make the preliminary practices psychologically meaningful and spiritually transformative. He examines each of the practices with an eye to revealing how they may be used to heal and transform psychological trauma and offers practical suggestions for integrating them into daily life--as well as ensuring that practitioners are prepared psychologically, emotionally, and energetically to start out safely on the tantric path.\u003ci\u003e Preparing for Tantra\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible guidebook for engaging in ngondro, the preliminary practices that are done before engaging in a long tantric retreat. These practices are also powerful tools for purifying negativities and alleviating guilt, healing difficult experiences, and enriching our minds with goodness so that we will be able to progress in our Dharma practice and gain realizations of the path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559393775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.33w x 0.64d","brand":"Rob Preece","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378357043381,"sku":"9781559393775","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e6d05ea0-6ff2-4be5-98c3-a5696b34dcfa.jpg?v=1701753013","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/preparing-for-tantra-creating-the-psychological-ground-for-practice-9781559393775","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
