Osho: My whole work is to confuse you! The questioner says, ‘At times you seem to intend to confuse us’. No, you have not listened to me well. I am always confusing, not only at times. Confusion is my method. What I am trying to do by confusing you is to uproot you from your mind. I would not like you to have any roots in the mind in the name of love or in the name of meditation or in the name of God. Your mind is very cunning. It can thrive on anything; on meditation, on love, it can thrive. The moment I see that your mind is thriving on anything, I immediately have to uproot you from it. My whole effort is to create a no-mind state in you. I am not here to convince you about anything. I am not here to give you a dogma, a...
Tantra Awakening
‘Tantra trusts in your body.
Tantra trusts in your senses.
Tantra trusts in your energy.
Tantra trusts in you!
Tantra does not deny anything,
but transforms everything.’

I wish to share my love for tantra with you. Before really getting into tantra, I was practicing and teaching a lot of yoga. And although I still love yoga too, it never really felt like a ‘complete’ practice to me. When I decided to dive into the world of tantra, I understood what I had been missing.
Tantra doesn’t exclude any part of me, tantra includes all of me. Suddenly ALL of me was welcome. My anger, my sadness, my playfulness, my animal side, my fears, my joy, my busy mind, my sensuality, my sexuality – everything. Before I was fighting with a lot of these aspects of myself. Fighting with everything that isn’t me in my essence, fighting with my humanness. I thought that was the way to enlightenment.
I discovered the opposite is true. The key is not fighting – it is fully embracing and living all aspects of myself, but with awareness! Consciously.
[Remember: Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.]
By doing this, I started experiencing more freedom, more aliveness and more love -for myself, for others and for life- than ever. I started having experiences I didn’t even know were possible for a ‘simple human being’ like myself 😉
By consciously living all of me, I’ve gotten to the deepest spiritual experiences.
Our body and our whole being is hardwired for bliss! Trust me. Or even beter: find out for yourself!
Tantra consists of active meditations, silent meditations, expressing emotions, massages, dancing, raising our sexual energy (kundalini energy) and so on.
I am offering different sorts of tantric workshops and courses in Groningen. Later this year i will be offering weekend workshop in the Netherlands, with a male co-teacher. There’s lots of great stuff coming up, so stay tuned!
“Tantra is the natural way;
the loose and the natural is the goal. You need not fight with the current; simply move with it, float with it. The river is going to the sea, so why fight? Move with the river, become one with the river: surrender.”

A little look inside my life, inside my head, inside my heart.
*Good news & bad news* Okay let's start with the bad news. 'Every woman is wired differently. Some women's nerves branch more in the vagina; other women's nerves branch more in the clitoris. Some branch a great deal in the perineum, or at the mouth of the cervix. That accounts for some of the differences in female sexual response.' What's physically stimulating for one woman, may not work at all for another woman. So with every woman you will have to discover how her body is wired. Ask her things - before sex, during sex, after sex. Help her open up and express herself - if she isn't doing so already. A woman often times is afraid to express what she wants and likes, sexually. Either because she doesn't want to make you feel like you're doing something wrong. Or because she feels embarrased about showing her desires. (Unconsciously, we are still very...
YES! This message really kickstarted my spiritual journey. I read The Power of Now at age 24 and it has been a life changing moment. I remember the first day I started reading it. It was like waking up from a dream. As most people, I was almost always in my head. The things we think may differ, but we are all continouisly thinking, having inner dialogues, opinions, thinking about the future and past, critizing ourselves and others. I was very good at critizing myself. I felt I was never good enough. That I didn't achieve enough. That I wasn't pretty enough. Actually, I found most things ugly about myself. Everyday I would feel disappointed about myself. Not only did I critize mysef. I thought all of this critisism to be the truth. Then...
‘Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity. Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence. Your outer purpose can change over time. It varies greatly from person to person. Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose.
It is the basis for true success.’
Eckhart Tolle

Testimonials
Elien is an amazing woman, great teacher and beautiful soul. Tantra is her natural state of being. I highly recommend her as a space holder and guide to a deeper life experience.
Het was een avond van ontlading en verbinding en ik kwam opgeladen en verzacht weer thuis. Ik vond je begeleiding natuurlijk, betrokken en helder. Het is duidelijk dat je hier gepassioneerd over bent en dat maakt het uitnodigend om me er aan over te geven. Ik moest soms echt wel even door wat weerstand heen maar jouw enthousiasme maakte dat dat heel makkelijk ging.
Elien is oprecht en integer in het geven van haar workshops, een mooie zachte en ook energieke aanwezigheid. Ze beschikt over veel kennis op gebied van Tantra en spiritualiteit. Tijdens de heerlijke, liefdevolle massage die ze me gaf kon ik helemaal ontspannen en verstillen.
