“How can I stop being unhappy?”
\n“How can I help to reduce suffering in this world?”
\nFor most of us, these two questions are the beginning of the spiritual search…<\/p>\n

And in doing so, we meet … THE EGO…
\n… and realize that it is the center of our fears, of our rigid thought structures, projections, condemnations, of the illusion of separation and of any automatism – that it is the source of almost anything, that makes us and others unhappy…<\/p>\n

The Tantric masters have realized that it is not usefull when we try to suppress or extinguish it, as the most spiritual teachings and religions preach. Then it defends itself and puffs up like a peacock.
\nIf, however, we start to smile to it kindly\u00a0😊<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and to relax our ego – which we learn so wonderfully in TANDAVA and the CASHMIRIAN MASSAGE, the fragrance of joy can occur …<\/p>\n

A joy which recognizes that everything in life is the expression of the Divine, that all dualities are only the two sides of one and the same coin, that reality is a whole, because unity rests in diversity and diversity in unity…<\/p>\n

And when we get aware that the ego is inevitably connected with our mind, and that THE MIND SHOULD BE THE SERVANT OF OUR HEART AND NOT OUR MASTER, nothing can stand in the way of our happiness and a better world….<\/p>\n<\/div>
