The path of sexual transmutation isn’t about rapidly indulging, denying,
running away from, or even overcoming the desire for sex. It’s about
accepting your sexual drive as an innate part of your nature; as the base
notes to your higher symphony.
I have seen many who feel as though they should rise “above” their “lower
nature” elements, and thus decide to flee from or ignore their sex drive,
considering it primitive and even “unspiritual.” Please don’t make this
mistake. Sexuality is beautiful. Orgasms are doorways into the Divine.
Pleasure is your birthright. Let’s not confine this part of ourselves to the
shadow self (either through excessive indulgence or denial).
Ultimately, sexual energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be
transformed.
Most of the following techniques I have experimented with – and they suit
both men and women. Feel free to try one practice per week and only try
those you feel comfortable or safe doing.
Sexual energy transmutation techniques:
1. 7 Day Experiment

For a whole week try abstaining from any sexual activity – either alone or
with someone else. After the week, explore what you think and how you
feel. While some people will benefit immensely from this practice (more
energy, happier mood, greater creativity), others will struggle with built-up
negative energy (anxiety, frustration, grumpy mood). This experiment will
tell you whether the path of sexual abstinence or sexual expression suits
you more – both are two sides of sexual transmutation.
2. Observe Non-judgmentally
If you choose to experiment with the path of sexual abstinence, practice
allowing any feelings that arise within you emerge. Try not to judge them,
instead, just be an observer. See these feelings as they are, they are
natural. Simply observe what these desires and feelings are telling you
about yourself. Also, try refraining from labeling them as “sexual energy.”
Rather, treat them as a sensation, like when you experience something
“hot” or “cold,” and experience them without any expectations of getting rid
of them. Some people by simply observing have orgasmic rushes of energy
without any physical stimulation.
