THE LOVE OF PRACTICE
by Rundy Duphiney

Since I discovered tantra two years ago, people have teased me about my "obsession" and many hours of daily practice. True, for a while I was practicing 6 hours a day. I needed to fully explore each technique so it lived in me Now it is down to an efficient three hours. But it's not an obsession It's a passion, an act of deep gratitude to the creator and to myself. I don't have to do my practice, I get to do it. It is a privilege to work every day with healing energies, to become filled with divine light and enjoy a touch of grace. I honor my body temple enough to settle for nothing less .

Tantra is a serious discipline. Serious practice produces serious results. Mastering any art or skill requires daily work. That's the only way for an art to be a part of you. If I wanted to shorten my practice, what would I leave out? Mantras? Inner organ work? Pranayam? Meditation? Lama Breaths? Cobra Breaths? None of these are expendable as yet. When each technique has done what it needs to do, it will no longer be required. I do not search for new techniques. They find me.

There are great rewards for practicing. At 44, I am in the best shape of my life. My mind is sharper, my health, stamina, energy level, and eyesight the best they've ever been (even more than during my years devoted to being an athlete). My connection with God is closer and all this can only get better because of my dedication to this work.

When I finish my practice, every cell of my body is vibrating with light. I am flowing and the energy takes me where I need to go. If enough people carried this energy we could collectively change the condition of the world.
