Preparing for Tantra Creating the

The preliminary practices of Tantra aren't a hurdle to be gotten through in order to get somewhere else; they're an extraordinarily rich collection of practices which have much to offer as a means of cultivating and maturing the practitioner's psychological ground. They can enable experiences to unfold, and they can clear the way when there seem to be problems or hindrances practitioners are struggling with.

Rob Preece has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since 1973 and psycho therapy since 1988. He leads meditation retreats and gives workshops or comparative Jungian and Buddhist psychology. He is the author of the Courage to Feel and The Wisdom of Imperfection.
