Transmuting
Sexual Energy
Lokita Carter
Hi.
I was wondering if you have any techniques for transmuting sexual
energy?

Dear
Avery,
Transmuting sexual energy is easy. First of all, energy follows
intention.
Try an experiment with the intention to bring more energy into your left
hand. Hold your hands in the air with your palms facing upwards and look
at your left hand, then your right. Then direct
all your intention to
the left hand. Breathe
into the left hand. By that I mean imagine that your breath moves all
the way into your left hand. Ignore your right hand completely. Breathe
into your left hand several times, with full attention on the breath
and the left hand. After a while, look over to the right hand. Does it
feel different? Is your left hand a little bit warmer, expanded? Do your fingers feel engorged with energy and blood?
When I try this experiment, my left hand appears bigger and invigorated.
My husband is convinced that the same applies when he brings his
intention into his vajra, his penis!
The same idea applies to transmuting sexual energy. When you make love
or self-pleasure, you can completely immerse yourself into the pleasure
of the sexual experience. Or you can consciously transform the sexual
energy.
In
Margot Anand’s SkyDancing Tantra the most powerful premise is to
transform sexual ecstasy into spiritual bliss. Just as with the
experiment above, you can move the sexual energy consciously from the
genital area, the first chakra, into the higher chakras to experience a
blissful implosion of energy rather than a explosion in genital sexual
orgasm. Your body has seven
chakras, or energy centers, also known as
the tantric energy map. Each chakra has its own innate meaning and
purpose, and when sexual energy is transmuted from a genital sensation
into a blissful experience and consciously channeled into each chakra,
it can be incredibly healing and enriching, and bring life into
perspective. You might find that your communication improves, you are
clearer about a difficult situation, or that you feel more connected to
those around you.
Another way would be to decide before a lovemaking or self-pleasuring
session to dedicate your orgasm to a particular outcome. Remember,
energy follows intention, so if you dedicate your powerful orgasmic
energy to the healing of the planet, mother earth will miraculously
receive your energy and attention.
Another thing that comes to mind are the powerful techniques in the
treasure chest of sexual magic, which can be used to transmute your
sexual energy into affirmative life action by using spells and symbols.
I recommend titles such as Margot Anand’s
The Art of Sexual Magic for
more information and detailed techniques and rituals.
All in all, energy follows intention. Once you bring awareness to your
sexual energy, it can easily be transformed into powerful creative and
healing energy.
Blessings,
Lokita
