Dakini

1. A dakini (Sanskrit: "sky-goer, witch, imp") - is a Tantric priestess of ancient India who "carried the souls of the Dead to the sky". The royalty or the wealthy would travel to the far North to visit the Shrine of the Dakini at the foothills of the Himalayas to bring their deceased. Other legends mention a Tibetan myth that in a remote area "pure of man", in Tibet, the dakini(s) first appeared.

2. In some New Age belief systems, dakinis are angel-like beings. Dakini are timeless, inorganic, immortal, non-human beings who have co-existed since the very beginning with the Spiritual Energy. This New Age Spirituality paradigm differs from the Judeo-Christian's by not insisting on angels being bona fide servants of God. The behavior of angels is considered to have always been revelatory and mysterious. However, they are deemed to respond to the state of spiritual energy within individuals, this being one explanation for guardian angels. Manifestations of angels in human form occur because they can assume any form.

3.Tantric sex can involve a "helper dakini", who is a human female trained in Tantric Yoga, or an "actual" dakini(angel). The dakini increases the level of erotic pleasure for the sexual participants by helping them focus on a non-physical state of spiritual joy and the physical pleasure of sex at the same time.
