Product Description
The Ipsalu Formula; A Method for TantraBliss presents a practical approach for achieving bliss in the body. The magic of the Ipsalu Formula is in the synergy of the principles, practices, traditions, and scientifically based techniques it draws upon. From ancient wisdom to cutting edge research into consciousness breakthroughs, the Formula weaves a cohesive, repeatable approach to producing bliss, not as a lovely theory to hope for, but as a living experience to enjoy-now. This book is a companion to Bodhi Avinasha’s Jewel in the Lotus; The Tantric Path to Higher Consciousness.

Namaste Bodhi! You’ve done it again. This is a great companion to Jewel in the Lotus! And I want to say Thank you for being my teacher……
Rating: 5 / 5
Tantra Bliss and the companion book Jewel In the Lotus have many layers of information and guidance for personal evolvement using the activation and transmutation of kundalini energy. Whether you are in relationship or are on a single path, these two books help to expand consciousness using what you already know: the five senses; and ecstatically develop that awareness beyond, into higher consciousness, in order to live a more blissful, creative, compassionate life. Bodhi has woven many threads of esoteric disciplines to create a beautiful, safe, and comprehensive path back to self-awareness, at-one with the Divine Beloved. These books reflect that magnificent creation. Namaste, Dear Bodhi.

I’ve read this book and the “Jewel in the Lotus”. I find this book, which is obviously influenced by Bodhi’s many years as a teacher, to be so helpful as a companion to “Jewel”. I’ve heard her say (and I find I agree) that this book is written from more of the perspective of the Divine Feminine ~ it balances the “Jewel” material nicely.
For anyone who is interested in truly weaving (one meaning of the word “tantra”) the sexual and the spiritual ~ these books are full of practical, in-the-body techniques to expand your experience. Brava, Bodhi!

This book was on my “recommendations list.” From the summary and comments, I thought it perhaps related interesting yoga techniques that were not completely focused on sexuality, but the theme of the book can be summed up in a Freudian slip-like typographical error that appears on page 196. The pop-classic on bioelectromagnetic mechanics and consciousness by the late eccentric genius Itzhak Bentov is referenced on that page as Stalking the Wild Orgasm (instead of Stalking the Wild Pendulum).
While the book makes some very valuable points (and provides some practical exercises) about sexuality, psychologic conditioning and re-conditioning, challenges in interpersonal relations, subclinical neuroses, and the spiritual quest-and presents them in an erudite way, it has flaws as well. For persons who have no point of reference about Tantra, Yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sex Magic, or Kama Shastra or for persons who have cult- or pop-culture-focused reference points, this book will seem informative and fascinating, and it might be extremely valuable. Good for them!
To the author’s credit, she is uplifting, appears to be sincere and, as I mentioned, makes some good points. However, her introduction about the history of Tantra is based on mythology (that’s OK except when it is unquestioningly presented as historical fact), revisionism (“whatever I or my guru-cult say it is, that’s what it is”), and a little bit of mis- or skewed information. The information on chakras and kundalini is a rehash of material from the popular literature, which is a rehash of itself ad infinitum (but which, again, might be very useful to the novice.)
Many of the techniques described in the book may be familiar to yoga- and tantric-oriented practitioners regardless of whether they engage in kama shastra (that is, sexual disciplines). Certain techniques and “siddhis,” including the ability to have sustained, ecstatic full-body orgasms, can develop spontaneously in such practitioners as effects of non-sexualized disciplines (that means that such experiences are related to kundalini activation by whatever means; not necessarily by practicing how to masturbate in a “spiritual way” or by practicing elaborate forms of tattva shuddhi while you’re screwing, although all that is “Tantric” and works, too). Also, casual instruction of such practices as so-called “bodyflow” should NOT be related in a book (gee whiz, see the author’s cribbed comments on the dangers of unsupervised experimentation with kundalini processes).
I think the work of Margo Anand might be a better source of guidance on enhancing or spiritualizing sex or using sex as a spiritual discipline (with or without a partner)-similar practices are described. If one wants to learn about Tantra, that’s a bit more complicated. Tantra is an umbrella term for a very wide range of practices and belief systems for which the sexual aspect is a distinct and overly promoted part. If you can stand scholarly texts about beliefs and practices (including ritual sex practices and other esoterica) of anthropologically authentic Tantric communities, try reading Kundalini Energy of the Depths by Lillian Silburn or perhaps plow through the Mahanirvana Tantra. Some of the work of Georg Fuerstein and Harish Johari also might provide credible information.
