Summary: In this week’s episode, Reggie responds to the commonly held notion that passion and attachment are obstacles to the practice of meditation. He explains that the animating life force of the universe is fundamentally an unbridled attraction that we ourselves discover when we fully open to our hunger, wanting, and longing. Tantra invites us further into desire and shows us a thread of longing that underlies our entire existence. For the tantric practitioner, this thread serves as a trusted guide on the spiritual journey. This talk was given at a weekend program in Portland, OR in 2009.
