The Essential Texts of Ipsalu
Ipsalu has two texts for you to learn from. Together, they form a comprehensive way to learn Tantra on your own. The lessons of the Online Practicum draw from these books — and eventually, you’ll want both as you progress in the practice.
Jewel in the Lotus (Jewel) provides the groundwork for the tantric practices. The Ipsalu Formula (TantraBliss) is as important because it embodies the wisdom essential for the development of Ipsalu. Together with the Core Courses, they help to develop the mental and emotional bodies, clearing residual karma. Each Ipsalu Course brings the information and practices in Jewel alive. The basis for Ipsalu is TantraBliss.

Ipsalu is pure love. We learn to see the original innocence in each other and ourselves. By sharing our pain and our joys with each other, we come to see that we are all one and yet we also come to appreciate our uniqueness. It’s the best process, by far, to heal sexual shame and unite the spiritual and the sexual.”
