hello so why am I here
when people from the team ted
dunkirk contacted him for may
come express myself in front of you I confess
I did not know what ted was
I do not have TV for more than 30
years and I read little magazines I am
little aware of what is trendy of this
which is fashionable but I still
Internet
so I went I went
watch on the internet
and there I came across words
technology entertainment design
i came across bill gates microsoft
apple and there I said to myself but oh the
the what I’m going to tell
to these people is it not
rather the world from which I try to
to free myself then I went a little
further on the site
and then there is a sentence a sentence that
caught my attention
and that sentence was to share
spread ideas that are worth being
shared and there I said yes yes
i can go see them yes i have some
things to tell them I have ideas
which may be interesting without
doubt original ideas a little to
backs off the ideas that are
likely to change the look that
we bring to existence I came
you talk about what will attempt two
what is tantra
there are three words to remember three words
essential the first his experiences
the second is conscious it’s the 3rd
it is vitality experience awareness
and vitality experience because it’s
an empirical approach is a
approach where we learn about ourselves by
the consciousness experience because the
goal of the game is to be more and more
aware of how I work that
I am and how I react to
external stimulations
the third word is vitality
vitality because in the experience
by being conscious we give ourselves the
opportunity to maintain at a level
raised its vitality to their vitality
it’s not moving everywhere running singing
all the time it can be
something much more
interior is to be constantly in
contact with his emotions his
sensations and his feelings here are three
names to remember experience awareness
and vitality
then there are so many forms of 2
will try that of people who
that they pass it on because
finally we teach that what we
East
but I still distinguish three
great currents in the in this universe
of the temptation there are two currents that are
traditional currents
the first is the current from
ancient india which today remains
in the form of some yoga
maybe you’ve heard of
kundalini yoga evening at yoga we even say
that hatha yoga is a yoga that is
heavily influenced by the doctrine
tantric there is also this current
spiritual that flourished in the Middle Ages and
then to the cashmere revival
Indian and called chiva isme
non-dual cashmere the second the
second traditional stream this is the
vajrayana is the vehicle of diamonds
which is a current completely
embedded in the Buddhist tradition
but these two currents finally no
not much to see in appearance
with the third current the one to which
I belong and I am going to
present tonight is one and
high train the neo time draw a
Westernized interpretation of these
traditional currents one a
interpretation which would be at
crossing of personal development
of the world of therapy and
spirituality
so when I talk to you about
spirituality i’m not here for you
sell a religion
what I’m talking about is a
secular spirituality a spirituality
experimental by which we learn
in the experience to know each other
I think I’ve talked enough about
of Tantra and I want to share
a few experiences and practices
with you then I will make you a
proposition will practice now you
go to your neighbor
your neighbor and you’re just going to
you turn anyway so as to
what the bust can rotate a little
little someone you prefer
do not know go ahead
to find someone go we’ll be fine
ok and when when you chose the
nobody will leave you the words and you
immerse your eyes in his eyes
just that you plunge your eyes into
that person’s look ok go ahead
do it in silence in words not
need words look dive your
look in the look of your
partner and you observe yourself
observe your breath you observe
your body posture you observe
also the thoughts that are going through you
the emotions
and you keep that eye contact and
we will move on to a second stage
but keep that eye contact and the
second step it’s going to be from
share a touch of the fingertips
so I assure you everything will happen
good
so you continue to leave you the
words again you plunge back into
the eye contact and only for
people who agree with this
touch of the fingertips
if you do not feel it you do not
you just stay in touch with
looks if you feel that it’s
possible for you to be in touch with
fingertips I say right from the
tip of the fingers
you put both your hands up
shoulders finger to the sky the
palms to your partner and you
gently approach your hands
slowly approach your hands
more slowly
go ahead do it now and you
stay like this for a while
moment in the eye contact does not
look at me more I assure you I’m going
give you directions by speaking
you do not have to look at me anymore
look at each other
and then now you will leave
come a movement a movement of your
forearm maybe a movement of
your bust you’re going to organize like
a dance around your fingers
a slow dance
see some times we can start
laugh to hide his embarrassment by
movements a bit wider it’s ok ok
we will stop there you can me
watch now
so how was that what
happened to you is what you
could have
did you observe your
breathing is what she accelerated
is that your breath is
completely cut or frozen is this
that your breathing has remained
natural is what are you
have kept in touch the looks where
was it so embarrassing
that your gaze was obliged to
to go elsewhere
how was your body posture
were you leaning towards
the other is what you were in
withdrawal is what you stayed
quiet in your verticality as
in the summer you think that’s what happened
passed in your head is what there is
had momentum danville want to go
towards is what was rather of the
resistance and tell each other but I want
to be a little further I would not like
to have started to touch
did you take me for a crazy
because that’s an option too
this is tantra, that’s it
Tantra is learning to observe in
experience and learn to observe
in the experience why to be
more aware and bring that back into his
life
what good is the consciousness is good
when one is more aware of in his
life in every moment so we can
make choices we can make choices
for example when you are in a relationship
when you are in relationship and you
start to realize how much
you are in emotional dependence
so I ‘m going to caricature how much
you need to hear ten times by
day I love you or ten times a day
are beautiful shining at that moment you
can start to say ok I’m going
take responsibility to feed myself to
this place to feed myself
my insecurity you know in the
personal development
it’s called self-esteem and the
benefits of that is that you stop
to shift the responsibility to
the other in the relationship to feed you
where you have not been
and you also give yourself the option of not
no longer wanting the person to no longer
blaming the person for not
be available emotionally when
you need it
so it’s a radical transformation
in the relationship there is another point
that I would like to address in relation to
the practice we just had these
games not if you noticed but at
for a moment I told you but you
do not have to share this
physical contact it’s ok not to do
because that when we approach the neo
will try in particular it’s a some
fundamental thing our limits
these are things we built in
our history of things we have
built for to protect us
against probably aggression
outside in our childhood and that’s
things that often come up
responsive and rightly because this
are protections and it defends us
against things that do not
do not agree the problem the
problem is that these limits
sometimes they come to reactivate
in places where they did not
absolutely no place to be
where they are not appropriating themselves and
it’s our fears for example we’re scared and
when it manifests itself
way there it prevents us from living
then tantra that brings us to the
meeting its limits
it brings us to the east maybe
first of all to become aware of his
limits to recognize them to do them
respect
ie if I do not want to do
I do not do for maybe one day
began to go beyond
limitations
but beyond the limits we go very
although if you go at your own pace in
his time it is useless to
to cross too suddenly its limits
why because if you cross
too brutally your limits to this
moment there you will re-open
old wounds
you will create rigidity
new while the search is
rather to be fluid with existence
I do not want to talk about
will attempt without addressing the issue of
sexuality because dallaire in the
presentation it was done at the moment
where I evoked the word will tempt me
think there was half of the
room he did not know
and then maybe the other half has it
associated with the idea of sexuality and
rightly it’s true that when we
talk about tantra we often associate that
to sexuality why because the
Tantra is a spiritual path that
does not exclude sexuality in its
practice the traditional ways
considers that the ceremony of the
sexuality is a completion after ten
fifteen years of meditation practice
pranayama that is to say techniques of
breathing
the neo will try to use sometimes
massages in practice to
conscientious purposes to take good
awareness of how one works in
interactions but that’s it
represents 5% 10% of the practice not
more it’s marginal just like we
is in a society completely
neurotic around sexuality one does not
think more than that when we talk about
time in train so I’m going to
introduce my name is laurent lacoste
I am a pure pure product of
elitist system in which we
live
I did the big schools I was
banker for 20 years and I was a
specialist in oil financing
and gas
as much to tell you that in the world of
personal development in which
I evolve today I am the devil
and at the same time as much the tantra that
gave me a lot of perspective
to this world that I left so much the
world that I left also gives me
of the decline compared to the world to the small
world of personal development in
which I evolve today I would like
conclude conclude by telling you that and
reminding you that for me the tantra
it’s a way of expanding the
consciousness but it’s a way to gross
it’s a way of deprogramming
deconditioning so she is not
good for everyone and if ever a
day you decide to get started in
in the experience
choose well worked done this
work with people who you can
to have confidence teaches and is worth around
to listen to you word of mouth
talk to your friends
at the same time it’s not that complicated
that that and then I would like to do too
a link with the theme of this evening
the theme of this evening is our
fads and our worlds of consumption
so well tantra is fashionable
and that’s for it’s probably the
why I was invited
to come and talk to you it’s fashionable
but I’m sure it suits me because I have
want but I especially have attention
it does not become a product
of current consumption that it stays
a pathway a path of self-research
a way of developing the
awareness so we take a little
back from the existing it’s
that we stopped running like
hamsters in our wheels head
dropped that for a moment we
can get out of the wheel lift the
head and live thank you for your
Warning
[Applause]
