The Healing Power of Pleasure Through the Five Element Teachings
Pleasure played a pivotal role in Devi's healing journey, intertwining with the Tibetan Five Element teachings to bring about deep healing. Before encountering these teachings, Devi's life had been filled with trauma, leading to drastic actions. The Five Element teachings presented a pathway to healing through pleasure, shifting her focus from a life of escape through ascetic practices to embracing embodiment and pleasure. The bliss of sexual pleasure fortified Devi through immense pain, allowing her to fully inhabit her body and heal from deep-seated wounds.
From Despair to Healing: Embracing Meditation and Movement
Devi's journey transitioned from despair to healing through intensive meditation and movement practices. Encountering the Tibetan Five Element teachings after years of monkhood and deep meditation, Devi embarked on an intense journey of healing. Dedicated practice and focus allowed her to engage with advanced Vajrayana teachings and weave them into her sexual practice, leading to profound transformation and the birth of the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education.
Connecting Inner Healing to Societal Conditioning
Devastating experiences of racial discrimination and societal conditioning deeply influenced Devi's healing journey and the inception of her Institute. Drawing from personal traumas and microaggressions, Devi's work resonates with addressing the socio-cultural impact on sexuality and bodily connection. The biracial identity of Devi and her societal reflections shaped her understanding of pleasure, trauma, and the profound effect of conditioning on sexual embodiment.
Expanding the Vision: Institution Infiltration and Team Growth
The future of the Institute sees an expansion into institutions and collaboration with passionate visionaries to make Tantra teachings more accessible. Aiming for accreditation to facilitate student aid programs, the Institute intends to revolutionize the inclusion of authentic Tantra in various institutions. Through training graduates as instructors and further uniting the core team, the Institute envisions mainstreaming its teachings while preserving their essence and accessibility.
How can The Tibetan Five Element Meditation and practices, passed down through a 1200-year lineage, metabolize emotional and physical obstacles for embodied sexual transcendence? Devi Ward Erickson and her Institute for Authentic Tantra Education trains and teaches practitioners and students to discover this for themselves for deep embodied transformation.
