What Is a Transcendent Power greater than YOGA OR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE? Perhaps, right answer based on many studies is LOVE and making LOVE with a right partner. Since we know that sex is a gateway to higher states of consciousness, perhaps we should play more emphasis on this spiritual side during interaction with our partners. It’s one of the most sacred activities of our lives and has a transformational power even greater than meditation and yoga, or any other spiritual practice.
ECSTATIC FEELINGS, CHEMICAL BODY CHANGES, AND ENDORPHINS
The sheer pleasure of sex creates a state of intense absorption. Our attention is taken away from the normal ‘thought-chatter’ of our minds, which quickly begins to subside. This is why we may feel that we don’t have any problems ~ because the worrying thoughts which created the ‘problems’ are no longer there. When we have sex there is usually silence, stillness and darkness around us, and our attention is effectively closed to everything beyond the desire and pleasure we feel. As a result, we become quiet and still inside, and our psychic energy (which is normally used up in concentration and perception) intensifies, generating a sense of wholeness and well-being
ANCIENT SYMBOLIC EXPRESSION OF THE UNITY OF THE UNIVERSE
The Tantric sects of Hinduism and Buddhism (which developed in India in the Middle Ages) see sex as a symbolic expression of the unity of the universe and believe that sexual partners can directly experience the bliss which is the nature of the absolute reality of the universe. According to Tantra, the whole of the body is filled with divine energy which becomes aroused during sex, and which we can learn to control. And even within Christianity, the heretical medieval sect, the Brethren of the Free Spirit, had a similar attitude: to them a controlled form of sex was as acceptable as a spiritual practice as prayer or meditation.
RELIGIONS and their ‘weakness of the flesh theory’
Religions tend to see sex as something to be slightly ashamed of, a ‘weakness of the flesh’, a part of the lower, instinctive being which we shouldn’t pay much attention to, or should even try to overcome. But perhaps not surprisingly, some esoteric religious groups had a more spiritual view of sex.
Beauty benefit is that you will feel—and look—younger, longer.
Like physical exercise and yoga ~ although again in a more powerful way ~ sex also appears to generate new energy inside our bodies, or at least of unblocking and ease the flow of energy. People who have transcendent sexual experiences often report feeling that they have awakened new energies inside them.
ENDLESS BENEFITS OF BEING IN a FLOW WITH LIFE
Before orgasm, oxytocin, released from the brain, surges up to five times the normal level. This increase then leads to the release of endorphins, our natural pain-killing hormones. The area of the brain involved in pain reduction is highly activated during arousal and endorphins are released; endorphins soothe nerve impulses that cause menstrual cramps, migraines or joint pain. Doesn’t this provide the perfect comeback to the old “not tonight honey, I have a headache”? Oxytocin also affects the way we feel, helping us from strong emotional bonds as well as reduce pain. According to a study by Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and a famed sexologist and author, when women have an orgasm, pain tolerance threshold, and pain detection threshold increase significantly, by up to 74.6 percent and 106.7 percent respectively.
It empties our minds and intensifies our inner energy
