Spiritual Sex: The Art Of The Multidimensional Orgasm & Transformational Sex

Spiritual

Linda E. Savage

Many of you have expressed appreciation for this topic of spiritual sex and I'll share one quote from an email: "So rare do you hear people talking about the *truth* of sex, the beautiful, deeper, connections that can be made that go so beyond physical contact . . ." Whatever level of sexuality you choose, that's great, but I am choosing to write about the realms of sexuality beyond the pure physical act.

I thank you for responding and some comments have inspired me to choose the topic for this post. Even though spiritual sex is not synonymous with orgasms, there was considerable discussion about it; some comments even equated "spiritual sex" with "religion and orgasms." To date, all I've said about the subject is that the Performance Model (our culture's prevailing view of sex) has orgasm as its goal. Our culture is preoccupied with producing orgasms and sexual dysfunction is most distressing not only because of lowered self esteem but also because orgasms are negatively impacted (not having one at all, or not having it in the perceived "right way"). It's a huge deal in my field of sex therapy and much has been said about the various dysfunctions, but there is a way to shift out of this paradigm altogether so that pleasure is possible whatever the functioning level. So I'd like to discuss something not well understood in culturally normative views of sex.

There is something I'll call "conventional" orgasm, which may be what some of you are referencing as you write your comments. Neurochemically, orgasm releases the hormone oxytocin, which promotes good feelings and can lead to mutual comfort, safety, and caring, but not always. For example, if you have an orgasm with a casual encounter, it is unlikely to promote anything but a feeling of release with a strong desire to go home. Many times disconnected or addictive sex can lead to emotional irritability and intense feelings of malaise, self blame or even the blues.

Oxytocin breaks down quickly in the body, so the good feelings dissipate rapidly unless you choose to maintain the powerful relationship bonding that sex can offer. If you remember the exercise called Touching Hearts that I suggested in the second blog, (sadly, some people thought they'd feel silly trying it with their partners) there are great benefits from stimulating emotions that accompany open-heartedness such as appreciation, giving, caring, closeness. These emotions decrease our levels of cortisol, high levels of which are harmful, and increase our levels of the beneficial hormone, DHEA.

However, aside from genitally focused sex, with its relatively rapid release and let down after orgasm, there are two other levels (there are many, but I'm keeping it simple). These are:

Conscious Loving which is the enhancement of partner commitment through loving communion. It includes the experience of the "valley orgasm:" longer lasting and continuing waves of energy moving through the body. It is the heart level of sexuality.

Spiritual Union which is the ecstatic expanded experience producing altered states of consciousness. It encompasses the "cosmic orgasm:" the timeless, boundless state where orgasmic waves move through all the energy centers. Cosmic orgasm can and does occur spontaneously to anyone, but as a practice, it can replenish the life force with release through the crown of the head.

The truth is we are capable of experiencing orgasms in multiple dimensions. Energy centers, called chakras (meaning "spinning wheels" in Sanskrit) are not anatomical structures in the body but are clusters of oscillating energy. Chakras function like electrical transformers, lowering the vibrating rate of life force energy, called Prana in the Vedic system and enabling it to flow through the body. We are actually an organized combination of several energy systems around a unifying field. If we could see the subtle light bodies around us, we would look somewhat like a "luminous egg." It is the electrical energy generated from the combined subtle systems in and around our bodies. When you received acupuncture, for example, the meridians being stimulated with needles are aspects of these subtle energy systems.

If you interested in reading more about this or even getting some training, some of the esoteric systems of spiritual sexuality available in the West are: Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, Quodoushka, Egyptian, Taoist and Toltec traditions to name a few. These traditions offer wisdom about sexuality that can balance us and benefit our health as well as heighten spiritual awareness. My own research into esoteric sexuality has focused on the Stone and Bronze Age Pre-patriarchal cultures, and my final blog before I go on vacation in early September will be on the ritual of the Sacred Marriage.

Transformational Sex

We have arrived at the most compelling reason to pursue and practice spiritual sex: the magical elements. It is level III of spiritual sex and the least understood yet most interesting aspect of sexuality. When I speak of magic, I mean something more than the phrase "it was magic" one uses after a particularly good sexual experience. The sixth chakra is about non-ordinary sight: visionary insight as well as using visualization to create desired outcomes. Among other things, this energy center (called the third eye) is a source of psychic illumination. I've researched some fascinating accounts of sex magic over the years and have still not begun to grasp all the possibilities. We are now entering the Twilight Zone folks.

The information I'm going to discuss is on the edge of the known (science) into the realm of noetic (mind) sciences which is the study of the effects of perception, intuition, and beliefs on experience. The exploration of consciousness is truly our last frontier and we have only begun to understand just how far reaching it is. If you want to explore noetic sciences further, go to The Institute of Noetic Sciences http://www.noetic.org .

The difference between so called "hard science" and noetic sciences is the question of how do we know what we know. It is the difference between a system of rigidly controlled acceptable data collection, known as the experimental method, and the data gleaned from collective testimony and direct experience. These direct experiences are more difficult to quantify, although Duke University, among others, has certainly done its best. There is ample evidence that the human mind is capable of affecting the physical world. Lynn McTaggart's book, The Intention Experiment is an exhaustive summary of the research on distant healing and other effects of consciousness on situations. Consider the fact that many government agencies and police departments utilize psychics to help them find spies, locate victims of crime, and identify perpetrators.

So how does sexuality help our ability to shape outcomes through intentional focus? Sexual energy is the most powerful transformer available in our bodies. I believe that the reason we have very little information about spiritual sex in the West is because of its power. Sexuality has been diminished for centuries, reduced to a procreative function until it was promoted to an acceptable expression of love in marriage. Recently the more radical among us have proposed that sex can also be something fun. When sex was split into a purely physical act (sex as biology) and spiritual was seen as something completely separate from the body, we lost the benefit of sexual energy as a pathway to higher consciousness.

I feel the need to insist on a disclaimer. Sex Magic is about shaping your perceptions intentionally to affect your life in a positive way. It is a very sacred practice. Playing with Sex Magic without significant clarity is a lot like fumbling with the home chemistry sets of our childhood that sometimes blew up. I strongly recommend you reread my previous blogs: Telling the Truth about Sex and Opening Your Heart and practicing the principles therein because you will need to be aligned with your partner with regard to truthful self disclosure and an open heart. One more disclaimer: never send negative energy meant to overpower or change someone else's destiny.

At the simplest level, you can begin by choosing a visualization that represents a strong desire and releasing this image at the moment of orgasm. This works best if you have practiced moving orgasmic energy up through your body and can feel the third eye center. The purely physical release of a genital orgasm which is focused in your pelvic belly will not be effective. Many esoteric sexuality traditions worldwide utilize visualization and shifting perception in order to move into a more expanded experience.

More advanced practices replenish the energetic fields surrounding the physical body, repairing, strengthening and enhancing your health at many levels. One example is described by Tom Kenyon in the Magdalene Manuscript. With plenty of time spent creating sacred space, connecting hearts, and pleasuring each other without a rush to orgasm, you can build the intensity of the electromagnetic field surrounding you and your partner. Visualize this energy field and breathe it in, imagining it replenishing your life force as you relax in each other's arms.

These are only two practices of the many I've researched. Both of these can be practiced solo as well. However, the challenge of forming and maintaining a truly co-equal, conscious loving union leads to even greater rewards. Couples who choose to enhance their partnership through the practice of spiritual sex can pursue this expanded sexuality lifelong. Every loving relationship is an invitation to transform; it is our task and our joy to accept the mystery and surrender to the experience.
