Spiritual Sex : 3 Types of Divine Union

Spiritual Sex : 3 Types of Divine Union

Many of us haven ’ t been taught that sex is actually a powerful tool of transcendental development . In fact , spiritual sex is the quickest and easiest way to have something resembling a mystical experience . The powerful thing about sexual energy is that it ’ s one of the few instincts within us that can rarely be completely “ civilised .” If you are tired at home from work and a friend offers you to go out to watch a movie you may pass on the offer . But if you were to meet an attractive person instead who was to make him / herself available to you , it would arouse a deep energy within you that you weren ’ t aware existed . Any type of ecstatic experience – like sex – is an ideal starting point to begin cultivating spiritual moments of “ no-mind ” and bringing them naturally into our daily lives . In my experience , there are three main types of sex that you can benefit from :
1 . The Alert Union
Most first time sexual experiences with partners fall into this type of union . When we make ourselves vulnerable , intimate , exposed and “ work ” toward that mutual pleasurable moment of bliss , our conscious awareness becomes heightened by the novelty of exploring the other person ’ s body . This union is not so much a mindful awareness but an alert awareness that instinctively takes over . Our feelings of vulnerability and excitement make our natural adrenaline mechanism stimulate alertness making the experience much more primal than spiritual . This type of sex is very addictive as the novelty of pursuing new sexual partners rewards us with that momentary “ god-like ” state of consciousness .
2 . The Conscious Union
It ’ s typical however that as our sense of vulnerability and stimulation weakens so too does our desire for the first type of love-making ( The Alert Union ). In The Conscious Union , we learn how to cultivate a more balanced form of spiritual sex , one that creates harmony between the passionate animal and sensually playful side of our sexuality In The Conscious Union we listen to our sexual desires , explore our bodies and those of our lovers , build deeper intimacy through eye-gazing , sensually caress , and follow our deepest forms of sexual expression . These often generate intense feelings of union and love that briefly take us beyond our sense of self .
