He explains how tantric Christianity views the human body as the primary “temple” of the Holy, with erotic energy as the signature of Divine Presence within. Rev. Reho reveals the similarities of the earliest Christian practices to the tantric yogas of India and Tibet and explores the role of Kundalini and the chakras. He details how to work with mantras, icons, and pranayama breathing exercises, as well as with gazing as a spiritual practice. Informed by the insights of ancient texts and early masters of Christian spirituality, the author provides step-by-step instructions on how to practice Christian tantric sex with a life-partner of the opposite or same sex. 600 00 Jesus Christ|xBuddhist interpretations. 600 00 Jesus Christ|xHistory of doctrines|yEarly church, ca. 30- 600. 650 0 Tantric Buddhism. 650 0 Tantrism. 650 0 Human body|xReligious aspects. 650 0 Christianity and other religions|xBuddhism. 650 0 Buddhism|xRelations|xChristianity.
