Book excerpt: "Fifty percent of adult women have some form of sexual dysfunction at some point of their lives, preventing them from enjoying soul-satisfying sex. Such was the case with Laura Zam, who suffered the blame, shame, and embarrassment of being a terrible lover. For her, sex meant physical pain, zero desire, and emotional scars from being molested in her early years. However, in her late forties, after meeting and marrying the love of her life, Zam was determined to finally fix her sensual self. The Pleasure Plan is what happened when she decided to challenge her hopelessness. In partnership with her initially reluctant husband, she visited a variety of healers and tried an array of pleasure-enhancing methods: from dilators and dildos, to hypnosis and hosting a sex brunch, to cleansing chakras, to making love to her husband in front of a geriatric Tantric goddess. Packed with humor, heart, and a healthy dose of prescriptive advice, this book chronicles Zam's insight as she confronts many issues-from mismatched libidos to female erection enlightenment. Throughout this journey, she and her husband grow as individuals and as a couple, both in and out of the bedroom"--

Book Synopsis The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar by : Ishtar Dingir
Download or read book The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar written by Ishtar Dingir and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Sovereignty. It's about the superior intelligence and self empowerment which comes from interacting with beings which inhabit a parallel universe to this one - another dimension - from whom man has traditionally gained his wisdom about his place and purpose on Earth and in the cosmos. In ancient times, the ability to tap into this superior wisdom was transmitted to kings and pharaohs by one who was in touch with these extra-dimensional beings or lifeforms, who are also known as the spirits. Sovereignty comes from the spirits of the land, otherwise known as the Fae, the Gentry, the Sidhe or the Faeries. These spirits are like Man, but are of an Elder and wiser race which inhabits a timeless zone within the parallel dimensions. These days, only children can see them, who haven't yet had that perceptivity educated and ridiculed out of them. Shamans and high priestesses in Neolithic times were in touch with these spirits of the land, and so were able to transmit their wisdom to the king or pharaoh in sacred sex rites during his coronation night. This became known as the Sovereignty because it fired up the king's higher brain centres, giving him a superior intelligence and thus the ability and the right to reign. Our ancestors have left us magical keys in their orally passed on myths which, like messages in a bottle, can help us find the way to spark up that wisdom again, in ourselves. As a shaman and mythologist, the author Ishtar Babilu Dingir is regularly in communion with the spirits of the land where she lives in Glastonbury, Somerset. In this book, she has laid out the way for the ordinary person to regain their Sovereignty, which is their birthright, through shamanic sexual practises and also by learning to visit these other dimensions on the inner planes. First, she lays the foundation stone for the teaching by showing the evidence - from ancient Greece, Egypt, Crete, India, Sumer and Babylon - that sacred sex was an integral part of the Kingship rites, and the literary evidence that the spirits were present in the lovemaking. She also explains about our earlier ancestors' understanding about the Faery Marriage, and what she believes is the original meaning of the Holy Grael, tracing it back to the Neanderthals about 45,000 years ago. The reader then learns how to perform shamanic sex themselves, to fire up their own superior intelligence. Finally, Ishtar reveals more about her own relationship with the local spirits of the land, so that others may become inspired to explore their own locality and thus begin their quest towards higher brain development and self-empowerment - to Sovereignty.
