ASCENSION FROM SEX
Some spiritual and esoteric traditions suggest that sex can lead to a state of “ascension” by acting as a powerful form of meditation that can lead to spiritual and mental transcendence.
This is typically achieved by shifting focus from purely physical pleasure to a deeper connection, which can result in altered states of consciousness, a sense of awe, deep bliss, and a feeling of unity. Proponents of these practices believe that by viewing the body as a temple and consciously channelling sexual energy, individuals can merge with the divine or achieve a higher state of consciousness.
Practices and beliefs
“Sacred Sexuality”
This practice emphasizes the body as a sacred vessel for connecting with the divine, not just for self-gratification.
Mindfulness and presence:
Focusing on the present moment and the act of making love can help move beyond physical sensations to a spiritual connection. Helps to bring the consciousness and one’s awareness to within the body, through the senses.
Energy channeling:
Some traditions believe that sexual energy can be intentionally directed throughout the body to achieve heightened states of ecstasy and awareness. The Chi life-force vitality, or Chakra flow of universal energies, the Prana are names for energy.
Releasing shame:
Releasing negative beliefs and shame surrounding the body and sexuality is seen as a crucial step to experience sex as a sacred and empowering act. As sex is heavily manipulated and used as a form of control over others, especially traditionally to control women.
The experience of transcendence
Altered states of consciousness:
This can include experiences like feeling a deep sense of peace, cosmic awareness, out-of-body experiences, or profound realizations. Trauma and memories can be released; healings can take place through transcendental experiences.
Beyond the physical:
The experience is described as feeling a sense of bliss or awe that goes beyond the physical realm, leading to feelings of unity and deep relaxation. A sense of oneness and divine Union.
Spiritual awakening:
Some individuals report that these experiences lead to a greater sense of self-knowledge and a deeper spiritual connection. By releasing their limitations, pushing past their comfort zones and boundaries, learning and releasing inhibitions that were their old self-limiting mental programming scripts about themselves, to finding pleasure and connection.
Tantra
Some people believe it is possible to achieve spiritual ascension by consciously channelling and directing sexual energy. This idea is rooted in ancient traditions like Tantra and Taoism, which view sexual energy as a powerful, creative life force that, when harnessed, can be used for spiritual transformation rather than solely for physical pleasure or procreation.
The specific practices used to achieve spiritual states through sex include:
Sexual transmutation:
This is the practice of converting sexual energy into a higher spiritual fuel. Instead of releasing this energy through physical acts alone, practitioners channel it inward to promote greater mental clarity, emotional stability, and vitality. Your sexual energy can be exchanged with others or can be brought back into the bodies energy circulation if not exchanged or released.
Awakening kundalini:
Sexual energy is linked with kundalini, a coiled energy that lays dormant at the base of the spine. In this way, sexual practices can be used to awaken and move this life-force energy up through the chakras, or energy centres, to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
Mindful and intentional sex:
For this practice, sex is not a quick or goal-oriented act but a slow, deliberate form of meditation. This involves focusing on the present moment, deep breathing, and the energetic connection between partners to create states of expanded consciousness.
Unifying yin and yang:
Taoist sexual practices focus on balancing the feminine (yin) and masculine (yang) energies to cultivate and preserve life force energy (chi).
These practices are seen as vital for health, longevity, and spiritual development and expansion.
Connecting with the divine:
Sacred sexuality involves seeing the body and sex as holy tools to connect with a divine or higher source. In a partnered practice, this can be experienced as a sacred union, creating profound intimacy and a sense of oneness with the universe.
Twin flame connection:
Some people believe that sex with a “twin flame,” a person representing their own soul in another body, is a sacred experience that merges the two people’s energies. This is believed to help both partners each ascend to higher states of consciousness.
Ascension through sexual energy is not based on ordinary, unmindful sexual activity. Instead, it is a spiritual practice that requires conscious intention, self-awareness, and often guidance from a teacher can help introduce these various sexual exercises and their various concepts.
Sexual Energy
Sexual energy is the same energy as creation energy, the two are the same. Creation energy is sexual energy, the energy of creating new life, of creation itself, creating babies and intimacy and love, bonding and deeper connection. Sexual energy is the energy of life, it is your life-force energy, and that energy has created all that you see around you.
Your sexual energy is sacred; you are a divine being of love that has a unique energy signature. When we use our sexual energy that connects with another’s, we exchange our energies, so it is important to understand this is a sacred exchange. You should be mindful of the energies of others that you exchange and their motivations.
It is important to look after your body and mind so that you can experience healthy sexual energy exchanges that improve and sustain your health and life force vitality, which in turn provides a longer more fulfilling life.
