Surrender
Kypris

June 30th, 2005

Isn’t it funny how our culture is always telling us to stay in control, to hold things in, to “buck up”? Isn’t it funny how this never works in the long run? When I follow my heart and let the universe tell me where to go next and what to do. It’s like falling up, into the sky, and floating on the clouds–which can be scary if you’re afraid of heights! And yet I keep doing it, because the life that’s created by a series of surrenderings is so much more creative, so much more full of juice and joy and love. And when I surrender, I grow.

There are so many ways and places to practice surrender–in relationships, in jobs, in self-care, in meditation. And surrendering feels good. When I feel good I create a better world around me, because my heart is open, and I love everyone and everything! When my heart is open I am a better person. When my heart is open I can fly free and high. When my heart is open I forgive and forget. When my heart is open I love unconditionally. When my heart is open, I connect and commune with the divine within each and every person I meet.

Control? Forget about it. Give me surrender.

Namaste, Kyrpis

Shamanic tantra is a spiritual journey into a passionate creative life that includes a full and rich sexual connection to God. Initiated on this path by a powerful shamanic healer, Kypris has journeyed in search of spiritual wisdom, beauty, and the open heart through many places on Mother Earth: walking the witch-hunting hills of Salem, MA; bathing in the healing waters of Tahiti and Hawaii, and making love to the austere deserts of Sedona and Anza-Borrego. With the roots of her spiritual practice in Wicca, Kypris was led to tantra through visions of Aphrodite and Shiva, and transformed through solo practice of ritual, energy channeling, bellydance, and yoga. Led to her tantric partner by a powerful shamanic dream, Kypris practices tantra today in tandem, and works as a spiritual coach, healer, and teacher. Kypris holds a master's degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, as well as a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and is an initiated HeartWisdom Tantric Priestess. She is the author of the forthcoming Journey to Sexual Wholeness, The Six Gateways to Tantric Sexuality.
