What is Spiritual Sex?
Sex that remains purely sex becomes a distraction and ultimately
stagnates your spiritual growth. But when sex becomes an
opportunity to return to the Source and becomes a doorway of
transformation to higher states of awareness – it gains a whole new
purpose.
What if instead of an obstacle, sex was a pathway
toward a spiritual life?
Those of us who have been raised with religious backgrounds have often
been taught that sexuality and spirituality are opposing forces, that you
cannot be virtuous if you have sex because sex is a “sin” or is “unspiritual.”
Prior to dogmatic ideologies, sexuality was respected for thousands of
years as a sacred expression of nature’s life force and the mystery of
creation. Although I’ve written about the value of sexual transmutation or
sexual abstinence in the past, I want to make it very clear in this article that
sex can also work as a catalyst for cultivating spiritual well-being.
