Tantric Sex Technique #1: Eye Gazing

If you’ve gone through tantric technique 1 and 2, you are now ready for the third technique which will teach you not only about the power of your sexual energy, but how to use it in a way that can literally heal your body, mind and spirit.

In our culture we tend to separate matters of sex and spirituality. Tantra teaches us that sex energy and spiritual energy are one in the same, by helping us bridge that gap between what we deem “physical” and “carnal”, as opposed to “holy” and “pure”.

To cultivate sexual energy is in essence a spiritual act which can in effect bring us closer to God or Creator, regardless of what our beliefs are. After all, God has created our magnificent bodies and has given us the power to generate sexual and sensual energy, not so that we can repress or overindulge in it, but so that we can understand how it too can be sacred in our lives.

Tantric Sex Technique #3: Cultivating Sexual Energy

1. First find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed. You can practice alone or with a partner, sitting or lying down.

2. Sex starts in the mind, so close your eyes and allow your sexual imagination run away with you. Allow yourself to drift down into any thoughts, sounds or images that start to stimulate your senses. Notice where in your body you can feel any changes as sensual energy begins to grow inside you.

3. Start to slowly stimulate yourself or have a partner do it. Gently sweep your arms, your breasts and your belly with the tips of your fingers, dancing across your skin, tantalizing you before moving onto the genitals. Remember, this isn’t a race to the finish line. Your goal is not to achieve orgasm, but to utilize this magical energy to heal, inspire and excite you.

4. As you find yourself growing more and more excited, continue until you reach the peak of your orgasm, but before you do…Stop. I know, it may be hard at first if you’re first learning about orgasm control whether you are male or female, but as your body gets used to it, you will discover the hidden benefits behind it.

5. At this point, simply place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and inhale deeply into your stomach, focusing on a spot 2 inches below the navel. As you exhale, focus on the crown, at the top of your head. Repeat this breath combination for a total of 4 breaths.

6. On the final exhale, slowly open your eyes and allow that energy to spread into your heart…filling your entire body to overflowing with sensual energy.

7. Repeat the process 3 times (or more if you can), keeping in mind that the energy will multiply itself the more you practice. You can also spread it out throughout the day or several days, or prior to lovemaking and orgasm.

And now…Take a tour of your body. Notice sensations and any new vibrations where there weren’t any before. Some people experience a buzzing or tingling feeling in their bodies. This is your sexual energy, prana or qi moving through you. As you continue practicing this exercise daily or even weekly, you might notice changes, such as a more youthful appearance and a lasting “after sex glow”. There may also be changes in your mood as frustration from repressed sexual energy begins to melt away, leaving you feeling happier, calmer and more open to love.
