Divine Interruptions
Have you ever noticed that when accidents happen, somehow, it’s your ego that’s trying to drive the show?
You know, one of those Divine Interventions or Interruptions that don’t seem so divine at first? The ones that come with sufficient bumps and bruises to get our attention. They always seem to show us how we’re pushing, trying too make things happen the way we want them to. Like during a sudden fall, when time slows and everything you thought important ceases to be.
Maybe there’s no intervention, no interruptions at all – perhaps it’s just the universe arranging things perfectly on our behalf, giving us the hint that our design is of

Bodichitta Fashionista – Chez Chanterelle
One on my favorite parts of our retreat was the Bodichitta Fashionista – a spontaneous fashion show that had all the women trying and buying dresses galore in a tizzy of pleasure as we marveled at one another wearing the fantastic dresses by Chanterelle.
The remarkable thing? Her hand-made dresses are like pouring warm chocolate on your body; you never want to take them off. AND the same dresses look fantastic on totally different sizes and shapes of women. Really. Look at her website: www. chezchanterelle.com More …
You Tube bans My Video Poem, Beautiful Breasts
You Tube pulled my video poem, and suspended my account. (my account has been reinstated)
There is nothing pornographic about this video. It is dedicated intended to educate and empower women. Yes, it astonishes me that showing a man being shoved in front of a train is okay to view, but a beautiful portrayal of women’s breasts on video is fine. (sculptures are okay).

An Uncanny Eye For Eros
It’s quite an elegant way of describing what happens in the creative flow when your identity disappears, your body dissolves and what seems to be ‘You’ floats by, suspended in the sensation that something else is moving you.

What is it About Breasts?
Maybe someday, it will be fine to show bare breasts and enjoy in their beauty without being shamed. What it is about breasts that makes us feel so uncomfortable?
Female Breasts that is. Last I checked, every female has them. But we can only do certain things with them, one of them being we must hide them in public. We are allowed to tease, with partial peeks around the edges, but not the tips, or the nipples. Really, nipples must be tucked away from view.
If you’ve ever gone to a place where every one is naked, in about ten minutes, everyone stops looking. So the argument that baring breasts causes too much arousal, (similar to what some Muslims fear) is just not true. In reality, it’s the hiding, the partially revealing that’s far more arousing than letting them just hang out. I noticed our strange customs around breasts when I created this video, Beautiful Breasts, which is banned from You Tube, I guess from showing those nipples. I made it to celebrate the beauty of our breasts. But most importantly I wanted to give women a way to connect lovingly with their own breasts.
Certain breasts are okay, I’ve seen many films showing bare breasted indigenous women. Guess that’s okay, because? But showing western women enjoying their breasts, or for the purpose of healing? Still way too much for you tube. Perhaps demystifying breasts may influence too many women away from surgeries to augment them. Given the fact that so many women are suffering from breast cancer, and almost everyone I know knows several women who have had serious issues with their breasts, isn’t it time to flood our media with empowering images? Could it be that mainstream’s phobia about showing breasts, combined with our obsessive fascination may be contributing to the shame women feel about their bodies?

The Most Profound Quodoushka Letter I’ve Ever Recieved
Quodoushka January Phoenix
*posted with permission, of course
Dear Amara, Mukee, John and Emily,
We are back in the (very) frigid Northland again. It’s 18 degrees F right now and is predicted to be in the below zero range over the weekend.
But we are warm within. We have taken your hot juiciness with us.
You are all so very talented! You are all funny. You are all sexy. You are all brilliant.
Hot, hot, hot and so very kind and wise – Each of you.
Amara – whose perfect understanding of group dynamics and perfectly paced delivery never failed –even when coughing. Your complete acceptance of the Sexual Being before you was a Welcome Home to everyone in the room. Mukee your lusty, sexy humor and goodwill to all and your fabulous freedom and body language took the material home. John (“Ryan Seacrest”) with your brilliant speaking style and connected embodiment of the material (can’t ever stop thinking about that Forest Fire Orgasm demo!) you taught us a depth of knowing that will stay with us for years. Can’t believe you aren’t a veteran of the course! And lovely, dear, Super-Hot Emily who made us all feel OK about being sexy
because you were always the sexiest. We will remember you moving with pure pleasure on the floor, (trying to) grab John’s leg, and of course your fantastically sexy outfits. What a great role model for all of us.
Somehow, you wonderful, sexy people managed to transform us. You carried us from our tight, frightened inner space to expansive places of fluidity, self-acceptance and grace. Thank you!
Thank you for moving us.

How To Increase Your Erotic Intelligence
The Sessons with Helen Hunt and John Hawks
Go see this movie.
Why? Because it’s not only lovely to watch truth crawling through the covers reaching below the belt of collective consciousness, it shows where men and women are not different in the places that count.
While it’s hardly a blockbuster, the fact that ‘The Sessions’ made it to the screen is a testimony to the raw power of sex. And there’s no better way to see such a movie than with a group of women dedicated to compassionate sex and intimacy. So when our Yin Way woman’s class filled a row in the theater, we rooted for this true story of a quadriplegic, virginal 38-year-old writer (John Hawks) and his married sexual surrogate (Helen Hunt).
The story is not only boldly intimate, quirky and touching, Hollywood got the message right: More …

Daniel Event Organizer: Phoenix Tantra Meet Up:
-
“This was the largest, and for many people the best, Phoenix Tantra meeting in the four years of the group’s existence. The sharing of ideas and experiences from the feminine and masculine perspectives was truly fascinating and eye-opening! I DO look forward to more collaborations
between Steve and Amara, and we are totally looking forward to Amara’s (and Mukee’s) Q1 workshop in January. Thanks again to Amara, Steve, Shyena (for her music), Sunil for organizing and all those who contributed to this spectacular event! Namaste.”
-
I wanted to again thank Amara and Steven for their GREAT presentation last night! And, also put in another endorsement of her upcoming Q1 Workshop in January–if you were there last night, you should have received a flyer on it. If not, check out her website www.AmaraCharles.com
-
I have done the Q1 four times and yet my GF and I WILL be there with Amara in January! This is going to be an AMAZING weekend workshop–life changing for some. I believe that Amara and Mukee are the two best teachers of the Quodoushka and they only do this workshop once a year in Phoenix. As Steven said last night, if you want to live your dreams, taking action is an important step (my paraphrasing). More …
An Irresistibly Ordinary Queen
Just for fun, I looked up ‘queen’ to see whether the common definition came anywhere close to my take on the word. I was especially curious to see if her feminine erotic intelligence (the most delightful quality of a queen) is included in our average dictionary.
Of course, Webster fails to mention the lusty, erotic things I envision. More …
How to Have a Sexy Wedding
Is it DOMA or ROMA? Instead of Defending Marriage, here’s our version: a Recreation of Marriage Act.
With bells of the temples still ringing in my bones, and various cultural oddities from China and Nepal swimming through my mind, I came back to the US to hear the president announce his full support for gay marriage. Then I facilitated an unusual nuptial, a kind of alternative ‘wedding,’ which, when I told a friend he said, “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Let me explain. I was asked by a couple to help create a special ceremony that was both erotically intriguing in a private way, and that also had many of the traditional trimmings of wedlock (without the lock.) They wished to declare their intention to be together for the rest of their lives, have a reception, great food and a band. But that’s about as much a resemblance to a typical marriage as there was, for there were no rings, no bridesmaids, no priest, and curiously, no vows.
We never did come to a final say on what to actually call it. And this couple mused at length with what to put on the invitations, especially for family and their more conservative friends flying in from around the world.
For help, I decided to give Wiki a click to check the official definition of marriage. More …
Himalayan Stove Project
The raw emotion of our Nepal Adventure is overwhelming – every time we bring a stove to a family and fire it up, it INSTANTLY changes their lives – to see it and feel it – it brings us (and them) to tears, and confirms, one-on-one, one stove at a time, how we’re transforming lives in the High Himalayas.

Better Than Sex?
It’s quite a trip to be lifted out of my Quodoushka Book tour to trek towards heaven for a month with the Himalayan Stove Project adventure team.
The splendor of the icy blue mountains literally takes your breath away as well as worries such as ‘What on earth am I doing?’ and ‘How much further?’ Days are about easing into every single step on the trail. Old women, men and boys carrying utterly impossible loads give the friendliest ‘Namaste’s‘ I’ve ever heard. We become kindred foreigners, each of us traveling with different agendas, ultimately arriving in the same place. More …

Great Reviews of Quodoushka in USA, Australia & New Zealand
Whole Life Times Review
The First New Zealand Sexuality and Consciousness
Symposium: Blockhouse Bay Boat Club, March 31-April 1.
Opening Evening: The Temple in Mt Eden, March 29, 7pm
(Quodoushka night, April 2).
Bookings: videoyogalessons.com
There’s a lot of “sharing” here, and it can
mean a lot of things. Normally, sitting in a
circle and summing up how you feel in this
moment. I feel fine — just warming up. Over
organic coffee, the charismatic American
Quodoushaka expert tells me that I might
be an Antelope Woman — just from the way
I talk. “Soften up,” she says. I will.
By evening, I have listened enough. It’s
time to interact. Other conferences might
offer you a golf tournament as a social event
— well, here they have an “intimate night”. It
starts with a big circle. The women outside,
the men inside, move with the music, change
partners. Then gaze into someone’s eyes,
say something nice to a stranger, do a little
twist. A bit like speed dating, but without
trying to impress — just attracting through
radiance and openness. It’s great fun. None
of those micro-connections has to mean
anything. There’s no attachment, no pickup
plan. I notice the handsome man in the
silk kaftan for the first time and just enjoy
that his eyes linger.
The next bit is harder. More …

A Natural Language for Sex
This is a video poem from my recently released best selling book: ‘The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka’ This clip shows the difference between clinical western approach affects sex, and how the more nature based language of Quodoushka can uplift and inspire more magical sexual experiences.

The Lost Sex Books
Australia is such a strange and wonderful place. When I got here for the Sex and Consciousness Conference I realized my 69 books were on the other side of the continent and the distributor told me ‘due to the rain, it’ll take 4-5 days for your books to get to Byron Bay”.
Two days after the conference, with people clamoring for a copy, I was told ‘they were delivered 2 days ago and were signed by M.S.” Turns out my friend Brian’s Quality Solar Plumbing business only has 3 employees, none of whom have these initials. After an entire day of being told “There’s nothing we can do- your books have been delivered, thankfully Brian started to call around to find my lost sex books. The freight company handed them over to another freight company because Mullumbimby is such a small town. Brian and I went to all the nearby businesses asking anyone if had found our boxes. Brian kept saying, ‘don’t worry mate, they ARE someplace. As we are pondering their fate, a black and yellow snake crawls out of his car. “True,” I say, ‘the question is WHERE?’. More …
The Nectar of Immortality
What would just a sprinkle of immortal nectar bring to your relationships? And where do you buy this stuff? What does it taste like and what does it do?
The Nectar of Immortality has the flavor of sweet peaches; the scent of rose oil and it causes your heart to swell with the urge to give. When this vapor is in your mind, you let go of worry and it pops the balloons of stress, sorrow and anger stored in your cells. Past transgressions become irrelevant, whatever keeps you from acting kindly dissolves and it gives you power to face anything. More …
In the Presence of a Master
For the last few weeks I’ve had the remarkable experience of being with Master Angela Yan. Although she does not not call herself a Master, other people do. It’s not only because of her remarkable family heritage or because she trained from highly renown Qigong masters; it’s because of how she lives, what happens and how you feel in her presence.
It is said some masters arouse the fragrance of roses in your mind; with Angela, it’s more like tea and dumplings. More …
A Lover, a Friend a Teacher
It is said, the most important thing you can accomplish in life is to find a true teacher. Friends may come and go as do lovers, but the words of your teacher – if they are guiding you well – will resonate in your heart until your last breath.
Finding friends to enjoy life’s journey or
lovers who can travel with you into the intimate realms is one thing; finding a teacher is something entirely different, for a true teacher has only one thing in mind; your enlightenment. More …

Reviews for ‘The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka’ are Coming In
Thank You Richard!
“Amara Charles is the perfect writer to put on paper, in clearly written and illustrated form, the beautiful body of information found in the practices of what is called “Quodoushka”. Having been an active participant in the ceremonies and teachings of these workshops for the past 30 years, I can speak with some authority.
Amara’s book has achieved what we have been waiting for — a concise statement in prose that captures the poetic magick of what is learned and experienced with master teachers during the layered series of Quodoushka sessions . Human sexuality is both very simple and most complex.
In the book, Amara’s skillful use of language clarifies the sexual/spiritual circuity of women and men with deep insight and, thankfully, much delight.” Richard Beck Peacock More …
My First Quodoushka Book Signing in Asheville!
My Dream has come true!
Many years ago, when I was roaming the Strand Book store in NYC (which still smelled like books), I said to myself,
‘Someday, my book is gonna be on ‘the shelf.’
25 years later, it has happened. It’s still sinking in. And yes, it feels as good as I dreamed it would.
Seeing my book on the shelf (next to the Kama Sutra, no less), is as sweet as sweet can be. I hope people will enjoy reading it.
Then I got to talk and sign books. What a blast!
Talking about sex on a Monday night, with kids roaming about, people drinking coffee, and more than a few fellow book lovers listening in… what could be better?
Support local Book Stores!
Malaprop’s is the quintessential independent book store. It’s cozy, warm and big, and it’s in the heart of funky, upscale Asheville, North Carolina.
(there’s rocking chairs in the NC airports instead of benches. Seriously. )
You can get lost in the aisles, pulled by rows and rows of books, and of course, there’s some rather fair and shiny, down-home folk strolling about.
I ask, ’how many of you have been to a book reading at Malaprop’s before?’ They ALL raise their hands. Most come to the store to hear authors regularly. Nice. Not many places like this left. (BTW, if you know of a great Independent book store where you live, I’d love to come by.)
Signing books was fun, because it’s still the personal connections we make that really touch us. There were women and men in their seventies, and several young guys in their 20′s (I do like this), with every age in between. The questions were intelligent, as you would expect in a book store…
Yes, there were some raised eyebrows, and you could feel people swallowing tightly, at times, but, (and maybe it’s the Southern hospitality,) they were more than polite. They seemed quite open to my message that our sexuality is natural, healthy and good.
I love introducing the idea of spiritual sexuality to new, curious folk. They wonder what it is. Rightly so.
The Best Part
The Sexual Anatomy Types certainly gets their attention, especially the way I talk about it– just on the edge of acceptable conversation. Right on the edge, actually.
Virginia, who takes care of guest authors who come to speak, bless her heart, had a grin from ear to ear the whole time. Virginia, you, and Asheville rock.
Thanks for having me.
p.s. Help me Hit #1 on Amazon on September 27th.
Buy a copy of ‘The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka’ on September 27th on Amazon.com.
p.p.s. No, it wont be signed… BUT, being highly ranked on Amazon means a great deal to the books longevity and worldwide availability.
Are You a Pit Bull Man or An Antelope Woman?
Find Your Sex Type @ IGNITE PHOENIX #IPAH
Do We Fit?
I Rocked the House @ Ignite Phoenix Afterhours with: Find Your Sex Type from my new book : ‘The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka.’
Anything goes at the Axis Club with Ignite…. Best Part: after the show everyone wanted to know their Sex Type. Some rather Interesting conversations… I’m talking to men asking their ladies to confirm the length and thickness of their members. To total strangers! And they were loving it!
One woman, when I say she’s a Fox Woman and that her bf is Deer Man (after a bit of description) she asks, ‘Does a Fox ‘fit’ with a ‘Deer?’
I saw them later sauntering away to their car, looking like the night was going to be good… Oh Boy, the book isn’t even out yet (soon… soon!) and wow, this is already a blast.
The Gift of Orgasm
Ignite Phoenix is awesome.
You get 5 Minutes, 20 Slides and they say: ‘Enlighten us, but make it fast.’
What a rush it is to get up there. I’m gonna do that again. In fact, they’re taking submissions now for the next one in October and I hear they have Ignites in different cities all over.
Laura Orsini, my publicist tells me that the bar tenders stopped pouring to find out what a’ Buffalo Woman‘ is during my slide show.
And Shyena told me there was a gasp from the ladies when I put up the 9 Pussy Types slide… I didn’t mean to create a gasp tho… you see, I find these pics utterly beautiful, but I guess I’m used to them…
Bringing down the House with Beauty
The other thing I loved: This is NOT my usual audience. I mean, these people (and a lot of them were in their 20′s tweeting away) maybe have heard of the word ‘Tantra’ but have NO idea what it is. So I LOVE to bring the Quodoushka teachings to people who have never heard anyone say: ‘Your Sexuality if Sacred, Healthy and Good.’
So, lets drop all the guilt, blame and shame around sex, and enjoy it for the gift it is.
Aho!

Feature Article: The Erotic Diamond Mind
Dedicated to Razel Wolf and the Next Generation of Bodhisattvas
Returning from a sublime time, sharing ceremony with exquisite people who gathered from around the world to celebrate the raw power beauty of being alive. On the last day, as our prayers for the healing of Grandmother Earth and all her people began, our beloved Dance Chief Elder shared a vision she had of many Bodhisattvas floating in our midst. Each Deity was encased in a diamond. Earlier, the two people sitting by her side saw something shiny hiding deep in the red dirt by her feet. Needless to say, we all shivered in the early morning sun to hear that a Herkimer diamond was dug out and lifted from the sand, in front of where she sat. It is impossible to express the feeling of utter joy when such things happen. Clearly, it was a testimony of raw power manifestation, that quickly, quickly appears, when hearts are pure, devoted and sincerely focused on the ascension of all humans. Her vision reminds us the impossible is merely an illusion, and that our prayers, hopes and dreams are indeed heard by the Bodhisattvas. More …

The Elements of All Abundance
Crystal Sun Kiva
As life bestows blessings or delivers punishing blows, how can musing on each element of creation for several dawns and dusks, watching spiders and ants, clouds and the moon reveal the secrets of abundance?

Is there anything sexier? A warm, soft body waits for you. You notice a smile and a shiver when you enter the room. It’s closeness that melts through anything, dissolves distractions and grabs you near. Sex is an invitation to experience beauty. Intimacy is the knock on the door and the lounging around after. Conversation, listening, loving whatever makes your lover happy- these are the things I love about intimacy. But intimacy is also rugged: it makes you ignore distance, oceans and time. It pulls you close even when you want to pull back. Intimacy is so sexy because it makes you want to More …

What can chakras tell you about your sex life? Well, the truth is you’ll live just fine, and you can have great sex even if you’ve never heard of a chakra.

Can Sexual Agreements Expand Monogamy?
I wrote about Sexual Agreements in
response to Pamela Madsen , author of ‘Shameless‘ from her Blog in Psychology Today:

The question is, how on earth do we do this? More …
What’s So Sexy About Dirty Talk?
Even though I don’t really think dirty talk is ‘dirty’ at all, I must admit I like both giving and getting it. I like the prelude, the spoken and unspoken words, the whole courtship of erotic conversation. It’s fascinating how changing just a few words, and the tone of your voice can turn luke warm ho hum sex into peel me off the moon kind of sex.

Can Casual ‘Hookups’ Be Intimate?
In an article by Brenda Wilson called Sex Without Intimacy: No Dating, No Relationships the author wonders how the trend of ‘hooking up’ for sex effects our meeting and mating rituals: Hooking up started before the Internet and social networks, but the technology is extending the lifestyle way beyond the campus. Deborah Roffman says no one is offering this generation guidance on how to manage what is essentially a new stage in life.
The dilemma for this generation is how to learn about intimacy, she says: “How am I going to have a series of relationships that are going to be healthy for me and others, and going to prepare me for settling down with one person?”
I believe you can develop the qualities you need for long-term, committed relationships, while ‘hooking up’ or what I call free dancing. You can be honest about your intentions; you can practice care, respect and generosity, even and especially when sex is involved.

The Taboo of Being Sexually Honest
I recently went to Pamela Madsen’s book reading at Fascinations. If you haven’t seen her book ‘Shameless’ it’s a hoot- a deep hoot. She starts off telling a bit about how her marriage slipped into the all-too-cozy zone. She begins to take all kinds of sex workshops (like the one’s I teach) in order to try and improve her marriage. Then she ventures into the world of sexual practitioners. At first- until she has some sense of what she’s doing- she doesn’t tell her husband.
At the end of her talk she told us about an interview with Dr. Laura Berman who said to Pamela, ‘you know I have an issue with this. I don’t like to make judgments, but I do judge the people you work with.’

The beauty of Intimate Touch
Touch is the heart of intimacy. Depriving our selves of loving touch is one of the biggest mistakes we can make, because without touching and being touched, everyday stress sky rockets and the mind gets foggy.
Approaching your lover with intimate heartfelt gestures, spontaneously giving your warm and tender embraces may be the single most important thing you can do to sustain a loving relationship.

Ever Wonder Why She Sometimes Avoids Sensuous Touch?
I just watched Brene Brown’s Ted’s lecture on Vulnerability, Connection, Shame and Self Worth.

For anyone who has been to a Quodoushka, (or has spent 4 days in a spectacular sexuality workshop filled with loving kindness and profoundly healing fun) you know what it feels like to go shopping a few days later.

How To Spot a Real Woman
How To Spot a Real Woman
A real woman is easy to spot. She stands out like a tall flower raising above a field of poppies- not because she’s trying – quite the opposite- she draws your eyes towards her because there is something mysteriously different about the way she moves through the world.

It is not a surface quality that fades with age nor is her elegance dependent on artifice to maintain. A real woman is natural- she is nature. This is what makes her shine with an unmistakable magnetic glow.
