Meditation, Mental Health, Self Care, Sex
Don’t get your panties in a bunch, I’m not saying you have to stop having sex forever, but abstinence wouldn’t kill you.
First off, sex is the driving force of nature and is really about producing life. From plant pollination to our biological urge to reproduce, we’re wired to screw and all of creation follows suit. With that being said, sex, despite it’s puritanical association, is far from a dogmatic act, but a beautiful tool created with purpose and passion.
Sex joins souls, so when you sleep with someone you take a part of them and they a part of you — sorry guys, it’s not an empty act as we’d like to believe. That unification is meant to edify both parties spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically due to the joining of life. If you don’t know this you’re basically enjoying the act with none of the core energetic benefits.
Tantric traditions and other esoteric groups transcend worldly desires through the exploration of pleasure in order to uncover untapped power and spiritual ascendence. Although I’ve yet to experience sex on this level I have gained a new understanding of what transpires when we have sex and the power within it through a 3 year abstinence stint.
Abstinence naturally harnesses sexual energy, but you have to be mindful of that energetic frequency in order to use it. Prior to abstaining, I wasn’t able to create or introduce anything new into the world, instead I operated on autopilot. I lacked the energy to produce and the mental clarity to see what I could do. While abstinent I noticed sharpness in my senses, a supernatural focus and a sensitivity to external stimuli which awakened a vibrant creativity. I then took that cognizance and went to work!
Two weeks or more without sex or a climax can get you similar, if not greater, results if you’re mindfully monitoring your energetic and sensory frequencies. If you want to tap into new creative territory or desire a richer reward from sex, try this out. We’d love to learn where your experiences lead you; share them with us!
