I recently sat in the coffee shop around the corner, enjoying the sunshine, watching people and taking a bit of time to myself to regroup my thoughts when I observed something normal, yet astounding at the same time. At the table next to me, there was a couple with a toddler and a male friend were having breakfast here, chatting away happily and the toddler being a toddler: occasional screams and general happiness. When they had just left and were organising their stuff just outside on the pavement, one of the ladies from behind the counter came along and cleared their table. Nothing extraordinary so far, but this is where the magic started: it took 10 seconds flat for one of the ladies behind the counter to come over and clear the table. Yes, it’s good practice, but with a café nearly empty those things often take longer than they should. And then she saw the fluffy toy sitting on the table, and immediately ran outside, catching up with the group 20 meters or so from the café. Suffice it to say, they were utterly delighted that their kid would sleep soundly that afternoon! When she came back she continued her work, with a smile on her face and humming along with the music in the background. Lesson to be learned: it’s the little things that bring the most unexpected joy to everyone involved. What is this to do with tantra? Everything, in fact! Every small act can bring joy to not just your partner, but to yourself, and to anyone who witnesses the joy expressed by either of you. It’s a brilliant win-win situation. Tantra is all about bliss, right? And joy is the high road to bliss in my book! Whenever you experience joy, your mind opens pathways that remain closed otherwise, and who is to say that is not the single most important thing that could happen to you during a tantra session? spiritual awakening need not come from physical touch
