The Art of Everyday Ecstasy
Margot Anand

Most people think of ecstasy in terms of sexual ecstasy, but Margot Anand expands our definition of ecstasy and shows how we can harness its energy to help us live, work, and love more passionately, joyfully, and with true spiritual focus. Our modern work-obsessed, stress-filled culture – what Anand calls the “anti-ecstatic conspiracy” – has dulled our spirits, thrown us off balance and alienated us from meaningful, everyday experiences. In this inspirational journey, Anand explains how experiences of ecstasy can help us move beyond pain and doubt to reach our highest potential. 
1999, Broadway Books

The book is especially strong on methods for couples to revitalize and strengthen their relationship. 
1991, Jeremy P. Tarcher

The Art of Sexual Magic: Cultivating Sexual Energy to Transform Your Life
Margot Anand

Margot Anand has made her life’s work the investigation of sacred sexuality and its incorporation into everyday existence. In this audio series, she teaches Tantric exercises which help the listener learn how to intertwine the mystical aspects of body and soul through sexuality. Listeners can discover how the practice of sexual magic enables couples to focus on their personal vision during sex and create changes in their daily relationships and circumstances through the energy they produce.

Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening
Daniel Odier

Rather than looking at desire as an obstacle to personal growth and enlightenment, Daniel Odier, a scholar and teacher of Tantra, maintains that it is the only true path to liberation. He teaches a meditative practice based on hightening your awareness of sensory perception -- wherever you are. Luminosity of existence thus pervades everything and even the smallest things give pleasure.  
2001, Inner Traditions

Kiss of the Yogini: “Tantric Sex” in its South Asian Contexts
David Gordon White

Sweeping away centuries of misunderstandings and misrepresentations, White returns to original texts, images, and ritual practices to reconstruct the history of South Asian Tantra from the medieval period to the present day. This work of scholarship traces developments in Tantric practice as external ritual practices increasingly become incorporated into the body of the practitioner. He focuses extensive attention on the role of erotico-mystical ritual practices in South Asian Tantra and critiques the modern forms of “Tantra” marketed by New Age entrepreneurs. 
2003, University of Chicago Press

Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism
Miranda Shaw

The crowning cultural achievement of medieval India, Tantric Buddhism is known in the west primarily for the sexual practices of its adherents who strive to transform erotic passion into spiritual ecstasy. Miranda Shaw convincingly argues that the enlightenment thus attempted was not for men only and presents extensive new evidence of the outspoken and independent female founders of the Tantric movement and their creative role in shaping its distinctive vision of gender relations and sacred sexuality. 
1995, Princeton University Press

Sexual Energy Ecstasy
David and Ellen Ramsdale

A Joy of Sex for the new age, this treasury of eastern and western sexual secrets will help couples enjoy the best physical and spiritual relationship possible. The book contains Tantric and Taoist techniques of sacred sexuality, guided meditation passages, and tasteful drawings. 
1995, Bantam Books

Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving
Charles and Caroline Muir

This artfully illustrated book distills the art of Tantric practice into simple language with clear explanations, helpful exercises and gentle encouragement. Charles and Caroline Muir offer modern couples ancient Tantric secrets for deepening relationships, intimacy, and passion. 
1990, Mercury House



Tantra: Sex, Secrecy, Politics and Power in the Study of Religion
Hugh B. Urban

Tracing the complex genealogy of Tantra as a category within the history of religions, Hugh B. Urban reveals how it has been formed through the interplay of popular and scholarly imaginations. Tantra emerges as a product of mirroring and misrepresentation at work between east and west. Combining historical detail, textual analysis, popular cultural phenomena, and critical theory, this book shows Tantra as a shifting amalgam of fantasies, fears, and wish fulfillment, at once native and Other, that strikes at the very heart of our constructions of the exotic Orient and the contemporary West. 
2003, University of California Press


Tantric Quest: An Encounter with Absolute Love
Daniel Odier

Daniel Odier writes about his search to find a Tantric master. On the verge of giving up, he retreats to a small village in India where he finds a great Tantric master, Devi, in the forest. She agrees to take him on as her student and warns him that his journey will be difficult. As the master-student bond is strengthened, Devi’s teachings become more deep and subtle. The final part of the time spent with Devi involves his initiation into Tantric ritual sexuality, the joining of Shiva and Shakti, which causes the rising of the Kundalini, the sacred spiritual force that purifies the body. Odier also relates the challenges of coming back to the “real world” to use what he learned. 
1997, Inner Traditions

   
The Way of the Body Prayer Path: Erotic Freedom and Spiritual Enlightenment
Barnaby Barratt

Dr. Barratt creates a modern synthesis of sexuality and spirituality, drawing on the ancient traditions of Tantra and the insights of modern psychoanalysis. This generous and uplifting book celebrates the interweaving of sex and spirit into one Holy Spirit. 
2004, Xlibris Corporation
