Sacred Sex
Sacred Sex Sacred Sex Sacred sex refers to the connection between two higher selves for the intention of a<b> divine </font></b>union—not for physical thrill, lust, or intent to use another person for personal sexual or emotional satisfaction. The coming together of two beings is considered an act of godliness, to be taken seriously and done with great reverence, serving as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual world and reached via the vehicle of the body and breath. Several different types of tantra are practiced and taught in modern times. Some of these preserve the ancient traditions; others have adapted some practices to suit more Western or modern ways. However, most of the ideas are based on similar principles, such as: ➤ Sexuality is sacred. ➤ All beings are connected and equal. ➤ Sexual energy can be directed and channeled for the benefit of the individual, couple, and all beings. ➤ Sexual union is the road to higher consciousness and ecstasy. ➤ The breath is the key to releasing this powerful energy. Even if you know nothing of tantra yet, you might know about, have heard a friend talk about, or had a taste yourself of an experience in which you were making love and “melted into” your partner, or “felt at one with the universe.” Tantric lovemaking leads to this merging of the self with the beloved and the universe. This can be a challenge, because it requires suspending the rational mind—the thinking, worrying, critical part that defines who we think we are and our daily interests, needs, and problems. Oh, the mind struggles against giving up its worrying—after all, as tantric teacher Bodhi Avinasha says, “If it gave up worry, might the mind then be out of a job?” The mind constantly tells you, “I need this”; “I should do that”; “I don’t like this.” Tantric sex gives you a chance to stop the ego and the mind from this longing and worrying.
