Mantra, Tantra, and Ayahuasca
Ecstasy, Devotion and the Return of the Holy BodyBy Christine Marie Mason
Length5h 10m
About this audiobook
What if your birthright was unconditional love, full presence, deep connection—and even ecstasy?
Not as a peak experience touched once on a mountaintop, but as an ordinary state of being. Transcendent and embodied at once.
Many of us feel a split we cannot name. God is up there. The body is down here. Spirit is pure; flesh is fallen. We reach for transcendence and leave ourselves behind. We glimpse something vast—in love, in nature, in music, in altered states—and then return to a life organized as if those moments were irrelevant.
Christine Marie Mason spent decades navigating this divide—running companies, raising children, seeking the sacred in prescribed methods that never quite delivered. Then she found another way.
Mantra, Tantra, and Ayahuasca traces three intertwined pathways: the sonic devotion of kirtan, the radical embodiment of classical and neo-tantra, and the visionary medicine of plant allies. All aimed toward being more present, available, loving and alive.
