Jack suggested that I post a copy of this dialogue into the Yoga Section. I did so, and then realized that portions of this topic also applied to the sexuality in other cultures topic.
The original and entirely unedited message appeared in the Benefits of Learning MMO topic.

Yes! Not buried at all!!! There is a whole conference titled Yoga and Key
Sound Multiple Orgasm. Please copy this portion of your post and continue
this thread there, so it will be easier for others to find!

I have also added valley breathing and mild key sounds to this routine. One hour into the morning and I can finally move normally.

I'd also appreciate your describing this technique in the MMO and Disabilities
- Spinal conference!

Yes! This in my mind is what traditionally are referred to as Tantric mudras...
special positions, movements, and gestures which somehow seem to evoke
this energy.

Use the SEARCH tool on the black menu bar and search on mudra (always
use the singular in searches so you get them all!). You will find other
discussions of this!

Great information Rodney! Very inspiring! Makes the "chore" of the workout
very different, doesn't it? :-)

>I seem to be doing some sort of ancient
>dance?

Yes! You are tuning in to cellular memory! Again, this, I believe, was how
the original "mudras" were discovered! Keep refining the map and posting to the
Yoga conference here in the Forum!

He said,"They dance into ecstasy."
"Really." I replied.

So much for what we've been taught to regard as the "scientific" mind. I invite
you to evolve (and your post indicates that you already are!) your "scientific"
mind into the science of ecstasy!

>I figured that their so-called ecstasy
>came from within their religious beliefs.

Actually I think that it is the reverse of that... The ecstatic experiences inspire
healthy spiritual insights and beliefs.

> The dance continued into the night for a least two hours! It often goes on longer.

Doesn't that sound familiar in the MMO context? :-)

Indeed! And what a lovely intimate connection with them, directly through the
ecstatic, erotic dance! You share their same spirit... and I believe that these
feelings and experiences are like ecstasy memes. That is, they have an
immortal, temporally transcendent life of their own, independent of their host!
We are the channel for those ecstasy beings!

Well you may now go to the head of the class!

Great suggestions!

I'm glad to see the shift. It's utterly consistent with the MMO theme of "no
holding back".

>Thanks for going out on a limb and

And thank YOU for going out on a limb and sharing this important and inspiring
information.

As the saying goes: "You gotta go out on a limb to get the fruit!"

> Your (Oliver's) keen response has encouraged me to open up even more.

Way to go Oliver! Way to go Rodney!!!

I look forward to hearing more from you, and of course from Oliver as well!
