Transforming Sexual Energy Into Spiritual Energy

Having a strong sex drive simply isn't enough - you must also learn

how to use it. Sexual transformation, or transmutation, means changing your energy and thoughts from physical expression to energy and thoughts of another, usually creative, purpose.

Truth is, we are all sexual beings.  Period.  The path of sexual transformation is not about rapidly indulging sex, denying sex, running away from sex, or even overcoming the desire for sex.  It is about accepting sexual drive as part of your nature, as the base notes to your higher symphony.  Yes we are sexual beings, but we are more than just that - sexuality is just once aspect of who we are.

I have seen many who feel they should rise "above" their "lower nature" elements, and thus decide to flee from or ignore the sexual elements of their natures, considering them primitive or mediocre.  Don't make this mistake, the mistake of confusing the idea of spirituality with that of escaping or repressing aspects of yourauthentic being.

I've learnt that it is never good to repress anything in life.  Repression is another form of postponing, in other words, whatever you repress will eventually catch up to you. Sexual energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.

The following techniques I have recommended to men and women alike in the past, who have shown interest in experimenting with their sexual energies:

• Seven Day Experiment:  For a whole week try abstaining from any sexual activity - either alone or with someone else.  After the week, explore how you think and what you feel.  While some people will benefit immensely, others will struggle with built up negative energy (e.g. anxiety, frustration, grumpy moods etc.)  This experiment will inform you of what areas need to be worked on in your life, and if you're ready for an energy transformation in your present state.
• Observe Non-judgementally: While abstaining from sex, allow any feelings that arise within you come, without any judgement.  See them as they are, they are natural.  Simply observe what these desires and feelings are telling you about yourself.  Also try refraining from labelling them as "sexual energy".  Rather, treat them as a sensation, like when you experience something "hot" or "cold", and experience them without any expectations of getting rid of them.  Some people by simply observing, have orgasmic rushes of energy without any physical stimulation.
• Keep Having Sex: I'm aware of how taxing becoming aware of your sexual energy can be initially (especially if you're in a relationship).  One way to overcome this is to have sex, but not reach the point of ejaculation or orgasm. This is an ancient Tantric practice, and you'll immediately begin to experience the effects, such as increased energy, focus and inspiration.  To engage in sex awakens your sexual energy that in failing to reach its climax, will remain within your body for a few hours at its peak state.

Sexual experiences are one of our first spiritual experiences in life.  It's that moment in time when we fill ourselves with a calm present awareness, completely absorbed in the now, through a sexual orgasm.  I hope this article has shown you that we must embrace the spiritual power that exists within our sexuality, rather than rejecting or throwing it away.
