Well we we know things do not always go as they seem like they should. My book launch is one of those.
Mind you this is a first date with a book launch and so I am very proud of getting it out there and getting my end done on time. Although…

Note to self.. 6 weeks is not long enough to prepare for a book launch because not everyone thinks it is as important as I do. ( that is because it is NOT as important in their life)

Note to self.. do not plan a book launch when I am busy the day of the launch and my affiliate manager is going to Germany.

Note to self… Getting everyone to coordinate their efforts takes more than what I thought was very specific instructions, it’s day 4 of the launch and some of my partners have not emailed their lists yet.

Note to self… Make sure my affiliate manager has the same list of people as I do or perhaps they won’t get all the information they should have in a timely manner.

Note to self… have plenty of time during the book launch to be at the computer dealing with the questions and responses from people wanting to buy the book.

Note to self… apparently amazon, who is part of all the major book launches from all the celebrities on the planet has never had this technical issue, with ANYONE ELSE EVER in the history of their company, they had with mine.
on day 3 I was emailed by someone that their order had been cancelled by Amazon, because Amazon said they couldn’t get any books from any suppliers… WHAT????? Impossible… now I find out that no one for 3 days has been able to buy my book during the launch….. AAAGHHHHHH, worse yet, when I call Amazon ( they prefer you email, so i was told it was amazing I got through to anyone) they tell me there is nothing wrong but they can not talk with me because even though I am the author I am not the technical seller ( my printing company is)….

So how you do this is how you do everything….

I breath and I breath and I just take one step at a time, taking action to repair the nightmare that is my book launch. Everything takes time, and everyone has no idea how this even happened…..

So let’s just say this has not been the best date of my life, but wow, there is some serious learning to be had.

Thank you all for letting me know you couldn’t buy the book, and you will all be hearing from me as soon as I find out who actually tried to buy ( since Amazon won’t tell me).

Stay tuned for the next episode of….. ” THE BOOK LAUNCH”

Beyond Sex: Tantra, a practical guide to extraordinary living, is my first journey into the world of publishing. Though I have written a lot of content to my websites and articles as well as ebooks, this is my first hold in your hand book.

We are especially proud as Max and I formatted the book layout,  created the cover design and graphics and self published starting Modern Tantra Press. We did all that in a week.

Like many things taking action into unknown territory does require courage and the ability to realize when you need to ask for help and when you need to bite the bullet and plow ahead.

This is already the second printing of the book, we had a limited edition printing of 60 copies and had many realizations as we held it in our hand and got some feedback from friends. We are confident now that we like what we see and feel and are excited to hear what you think.

Please feel free to write about aspects and chapters of the book that you enjoyed and felt helped you to step out of your comfort zone.

So now that I have a book what to do with it.

Well I am going to launch, meaning start a serious come buy my book campaign, this month on the 23, 24 and 25th.

That’s right.. you buy the book on one of those days and you get entered into a drawing. you also get a whole lot of downloads for free.

IF you are someone with a business who has some downloads you want to give away and get your name and business out in front of a whole bunch of people email me at Tanja@learningtantra.com  before the 23rd and ask for my Joint Venture pdf.

Please rss this blog is you would like to see videos and comments and reviews about chapters of the book in the near future.

Oh this is going to be sooo much fun.

I am always  grateful for being alive and living in the texture of life. What I mean by that is that I do not want nor expect my life to be a smooth flat line. Not in emotion nor event.

I prefer the texture of reality and all it’s seeming chaos.

I am in the flow at this moment with doors of opportunity opening all around me. I love being in that space.

It all started at the men’s superconference last month in Vancouver, BC. I was speaking there with some amazing other people.

Wade McNutt is an internationally know fitness expert and when he spoke of getting your body healthy by getting your pH under control I knew I had to make a change. I was drinking a coke at that moment and realized that I was holding back from being as healthy and dynamic as I could be. So right there in the middle of his speech I yelled.. ‘That’s it, this is my last coke!” and I threw it away that moment. Thank you Wade for being my motivation.

Change can happen in an instant…

In that instance I decided to accept health into my life in a way I had been flirting with my whole life. I actually went vegan that day and a month later eat mostly raw. I have lost 20 pounds and of course feel even better than I usually feel, which is pretty darn amazing. And it has been really easy. Whatever had been holding me back from accepting great health, is gone.

Another momentous moment was meeting Darren Jacklin. He is the world’s mega manifestor. When he got up to speak I was thrilled to see a man talking from his heart and passion. He was on fire and so incredibly present. I was hooked in an instant and knew I needed more of this man in my life. In whatever capacity we moved I wanted to show up.

Of course we hit it off, both of us feeling the same way about wanting to impact the world. Impact the world with positive change.

Darren and I recorded a conversation about sex, and life. You can get it free on my site. It was sent to 42 countries world wide and heard by some very influential people. Even now I am still getting emails about it.

My radio guest today was David Brooke, another superstar man who can truly be present and fully engaged. We had a great time talking about peoples belief systems around sex.

I stood outside the studio with him afterwards thinking about the last month. I thought about the fact that I made a bold statement of change in front of a whole room of people and how that bold statement was the driving force of my change.

That my change was a directive to the universe that I was ready. Ready to step to the next level in my life and career. Since then, doors of opportunity have been around me daily.

I encourage you to make those changes that are calling to you. Let go of what is not serving you any longer. Free up space for the golden nuggets of life to fill your dreams and desires.

Do it now, right now… and then write and tell me about them.

be amazing,Tanja

Tonight is ending soon.., at least for me.

This weekend is the Mens Superconference in Vancouver. I will be speaking to a room full of men about .. yep you guessed it.. sex and Tantra. It’s good to be me

On thursday I am going to do the first show of my new radio program, Tantra, love, sex and intimacy.

Contact Talk Radio. 1-2pm.. what fun, it’s been a dream of mine.

I am also getting ready to launch my new website that I personally built and did the SEO.

A year and a half ago I could not imagine that I would ever be capable of doing such a thing, I always thought of myself as so inept technically, but then I met a man.

He is my best friend, sometimes business partner, my teacher and my student.

We met and instantly loved each other. Each one of us knowing the other had knowledge that we wanted to share and to receive. We were like to little kids in a candy store.

Craig said to me, “teach me to be a man” I said to Craig ( he is a techy and internet marketer, as well as an amazing hypnotherapist) “teach me all you know as well” as I looked at his arrray of CD’s and books.

I was envious of his knowledge.

I had to rely on others to get my life into the tech world of websites and blogging and all those sorts of things. It was frustrating and I felt like it was holding me back from getting my word out and helping people.

Well we come a long way from that day.

Craig will say, he has learned so much more than he could have ever even imagined, and me, well… Im blogging, built the new site you are seeing or going to see this weekend, and I even help other people get their sites search engine optimized…  wow.. I guess anything really is possible.

I love my life and I want to share the secrets of why with you.. stay tuned on this journey..

but for now take a moment to breathe with me…. there…. and another….. let your stomach relax… make noise on the out breath… take a moment and fill your heart with the joy of the day and the gratitude of being alive.. see you soon…

Today started off without my usual ability to take a moment and focus on gratitude of the great things in my life.

Too little sleep, the dog whinning, my daughter complaining about her clothes and having to go out in the cold with me, blah blah blah…

Of course realizing that the moment we enter into expectation of how things should be we lose the ablity to be in the moment of what is.

Tantra is a practice of presence.

So as I  stood outside with my morning breath, needing to pee, daughter complaining about her clothes being itchy and the dog running off and not coming back …. I took a breath… I release the tension in my abdomen, felt the expansion happen and looked at the trees, heard the morning sounds of the birds and the smelled the rain.

As soon as my focus shifted I felt the wonder of this art form I study and teach.

 Tantra was created for real people living in a real world. Real worlds have family and things happening. No time to sit endlessly in silence, or meditation. The meditation of Tantra takes an active form in our daily lives. Dancing, cooking, cleaning, loving our families and making love.

My heart opened and I felt the love I have for my child, the compassion for her plight about texture, my dog’s desire to just be a dog, and my gratitude to live in a wonderful place with trees all around.

I still had morning breath, still had to pee, and all of my life’s hectic pace was waiting just outside of this moment.. but in this moment I had peace, gratitude, love and my awareness that I can be in this moment anytime I choose. We all can.
