Sasha (Alex)
Lessin,
Ph. D. (U.C.L.A.) a psychotherapist and relationship
counselor since the 1970s, knew how to help
people work out their differences, compromise,
agree. He’d studied counseling with Drs. Irv
Katz and David Quigley (Hypnotherapy), Stan Grof
(Holotropic Breathing), Roger Woolger (Jungian
Past Life Regression), William Baldwin (Spirit
Releasement) and especially Hal and Sidra Stone
(Voice Dialogue). Sasha knew how to help lovers
resolve their differences, work things out,
compromise, create win-win scenarios, even to
re-connect emotionally. But he didn’t know how
to get them to re-connect sexually.
He’d also been studying sacred
loving/tantra,
with Lori Grace, Robert Frey, Paul and Niyaso
Carter and, especially, Charles and
Caroline Muir. From them he learned how to
connect and teach others to connect sexually.
Charles Muir, for his part, told Dr. Lessin it
was easy to get lovers to re-connect sexually;
but tantra didn’t seem to get them through
their disagreements. It was hard, Charles said, to get
them to even be sexual when they felt
emotionally distant.

Sasha then introduced tantra into his
counseling. He started lovers’ sessions,
tantra style, with a breathing exercise. Then,
shifting to psychotherapy, he had them work
through their bonding patterns and their
emotional and practical difficulties. He
finished the session having them engage in a
tantric love-making ritual and leave them alone
to consummate it. Result: Counseling clients not
only worked things out, but they felt close
again too.
Sasha also began accompanying Charles and
Caroline Muir, delivering communications lessons
and seeing couples in the Muirs' Tantra
seminars around the U.S. and in Mexico. Result:
Tantra students were also able to work out their
difficulties.
He’s certified as a yoga instructor by Gary
Kraftsow, M.A. (Viniyoga). He lives and
loves with his wonderful wife, Janet Kira Lessin and their
extended family in their home/school/community/spiritual growth
center in Maui. You may contact him at
