NEWSLETTER - November 2010 - OPENING TO THE DIVINE
Listen to the music of love...
Dear Tantrikas,
Namaste!
December is fast approaching and it looks set to be full of exciting events and workshops!
At the Diamond Light office we have had a busy month and have began eating mince pies already! We have a new member on our team named David. If you have called the office recently you may have spoken to him already. We both attended the Level 1 'OPENING TO BLISS' Weekend Workshop in October and met an amazing group of people.
Leora has been up to a lot this month too and is busy with workshops. To keep up to date with her - follow her on twitter. @leoralightwoman
During this newsletter expect to find lots of information about upcoming workshops but also testimonials on what previous participants have said. We've got a lot of social networking news to share and as ever Leora's Tantric Tip of the Month can be found at the end of this letter.

Here's what Joanna, an April 2010 participant had to say about the weekend –
''The turmoil at work has not affected me in the same way it usually does, I have been able to allow others to be stressed and watch things go wrong without it affecting me inside. I have felt rooted like a tree while mayhem has erupted around me. I have felt alive and in love, connected and joyous. When we did the heart talking my heart said that I am a joyous person and I have had some of that fun back. I've got my playfulness back.''
CENTRED IN SEXUALITY IS BACK! Some of you may remember this incredibly fun one day workshop, but for those who haven't ever been - here is some information:
ON SUNDAY 12TH DECEMBER between 9.30am and 6.30pm a day of 5 Rhythms and Tantra with Leora Lightwoman and Sarah Davies will be taking place.
* The purpose of it is to live the joy, beauty and aliveness of your sexuality, and claim it as yours! Whether you are single or partnered, get in touch with your edges, your boundaries, your choices and the alive and evolving nature of relating.
* Live the love that you are. Dance the 'wave' of Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms in relation to your sexuality and heart, and let go into wonder.
*Learning how to express your emotions through movement means that you can truly feel them - and enjoy it at the same time!
Prices are £95. It seems like places are going to fill up pretty fast for this so book early!

Just for your diaries then – The LEVEL 3 'OPENING TO PLEASURE' workshop takes place 25-27th MARCH 2011. This workshop aims to let you learn how to enjoy more pleasure and fulfilment.
* We explore what pleasure means for you and how it can nourish you to its highest potential.
* Through traditional Tantric practices for expanding love, bliss and consciousness you connect your natural spontaneity and playfulness.
Here's what Freda had to say after she attended -
This level for me was literally mind blowing. I had a preconceived idea that I'd walk out of the course, floating on a wave of pleasurable bliss but in reality this Level hit me like a freight train. It leveraged all my primary emotions and brought me to a profound recognition of my power. It also propelled me to meet some unknown edges and find harmonious rhythms previously untapped. It was fun, raw, gritty, emotional and utterly transformational.''

Do keep an eye out on our WEBSITE as we are regularly updating it with new workshops. We now have an FAQ section which can address some commonly asked questions. WWW.DIAMONDLIGHTTANTRA.COM
We’ve recently set up a DIAMOND LIGHT DISCUSSION PAGE on Facebook. Every fortnight we will select a new topic and invite people to share their experiences and opinions.
Please join – http://www.facebook.com/pages/Diamond-Light-Tantra-Discussion-PAGE/15266...
This discussion page will allow us to create a Diamond Light Community and help answer questions, doubts and address Tantra as a whole from the perspective of Leora Lightwoman.
To those I have met, I’m sure our paths will meet again soon and for those who I’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting – I hope we do so in the near future!
I will leave you with a TANTRIC TIP from Leora.
Warm Wishes and Love,
Annem xxx

Opening to the Divine
'God is not the creator, not a separate entity. God is the very creativity, the very life. So if you are against life, you are against God ... If you move deeper in the dance, you will reach the dancer. The dance is just the form. If you move deeper in the dance you will reach to the very heart of the dancer. And if you move deeply into life, you will reach to the life-originating principle: God.' Osho
As the winter Solstice, Christmas and Channukah approach, we are invited to look within, to the miracle of heaven on earth. In some spiritual transitions it is said that on the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year, heaven and earth are closest together, and this period of Advent, prior to the Solstice or Christmas, is a time grace descending to more and more closely to touch our lives.
As Osho says, God, the Divine, is not separate from life. Tantra is the direct experience of that movement of life, that moves through us all the time, the creativity that dances us, that makes love through us.
When dancing or making love, give all of yourself to the dance, to the lovemaking. If there is any part holding back, strategizing, trying to keep control, to keep your experience safe and known, welcome it, by inviting it in.
In dancing, dance your boredom, your uncertainty, your distraction. Let every part of you come to the dance.
Whilst making love, let your thoughts and fears be present, breathe into them, feel them, and continue to trust your body and the love between you and your partner. If you were to let go of trying to do anything, and to surrender to the flow of the lovemaking, where IT wants to take you, what would happen? Listen to the music of love, and let yourself be taken...
