Sex and Yoga
The male’s dark blue body represents “purusha” -the still witness consciousness.The feminine is “prakriti” - the ever moving, changing material world. The difference between them, spirit and matter creates an attractive polarity which remains in constant “sexual” embrace.
SEX, a kind of YOGA
The word yoga itself implies relationship, and the two becoming one. You begin with you and and your lover, or your body and mind, or ultimately your sense of individuality merging into cosmic unity. You strive for yoga- union, which you experience as wonderful and sublime.
That sounds like love, doesn’t it?
When people ask me about my own practice of yoga I say how yoga permeates everything I do, from the way I eat, to the way I work, my relationships. One of the best fields for experiencing yoga is inside sexual relationship because of the inherant energy of sex. Sex energy can be channeled up for spirituality or down for a simple physical orgasm. Or both. It’s all what you do with it. I consider myself fortunate to have this body and nervous system, and I want to make the most of it during this lifetime.
The right side of your body and the breathing represents the male force whereas the left represents the feminnine. When the prana flows up the central channel of the spine, and both sides of your nose is open equally, your mind is in perfect balance. No male. No female. No duality. The aim of sex and the pulsation of life is the same. We find polarity, feel it’s attractive pull on our psyche and merge with it until we unconsciously absorb that which we are seeking.
In Vedic idea, the masculine energy is the stillness of stainless witness consciousness; called “purusha”. The feminine is the multitude of whatever is viewed, observed, experienced, known, that what is changing… called “prakriti”. It’s simple: if you observe anything, internally or externally, a thought or an object, a dream or a smell, it is the cosmic feminine. The aspect of you who observes, “sees”, and just sees, without analysis, without judgement, without thought, is the masculine. Purusha and prakriti are eternally separate at the apparent level, but at the ultimate level there is only one. In yoga we call this Shiva.
Yet what makes things attractive is polarity. Purusha and Prakriti remain in a continuous love embrace. Purusha continually watches Prakriti and Prakriti strives to be viewed by Purusha. The whole universe is making love where the seen meets the seer. Can you think of the analogies?
What makes your lover attractive is polarity. This arc of polarity is what makes the energy of life, and also to produce life. The masculine and feminine seek each other out to find out what they feel they have been missing. Your lover is that polarity, what you unconsciously seek in the life journey. Ultimately however, you realize within your own Self all that you have been seeking.
In sex, we attempt to join together physically but I would like to say this is only the starting point. Efforts to join, merge together in yoga should be done through yoga techniques. The two of you consciously merge together to a state of nondual awareness, inside of orgasm, using the sexual polarity as the two that must have yoga. As stated before, the male and female are really within your own self, but it may take a few lifetimes of yoga practice to realize this, and to realize the aim of nondual awareness. In the meantime, experencing the bliss to be found through spiritual and sexual yoga will evolve you spiritually, in the same way asana and pranayama works. It’s all experienced within YOU.

Warning! Don’t practice these techniques with someone you are casually having an affair with, unless you want the relationship to accelerate. It’s one thing to have sex physically which (this could be argued) one can walk away from and forget the other person within a short while, and it’s another to have sex on an energetic and spiritual level. While taking it higher opens up possibilities, it also potentially deepens the karmic connections you form with the other. Just so you know
The masculine person lays on his left side with his left arm outstretched as a pillow for his left ear. The feminine person lays on her right side, belly to belly. Begin to harmonize your breaths, so that when one inhales, the other exhales. Start to visualize that the feminine exhaled breath exits the left side of her nose (it will after a few moments) and is inhaled into the right nostril of the man and then in exchange the opposite way. It’s like the man sends his solar energy into the lunar woman and the woman sends her lunar energy into the solar aspect of the male.
Once this is established, you can open your eyes and use your left eye to gaze into your partners left eye and meditate in this way. Practice this for a few minutes and I think you’ll surprise yourself how intense and… hmm… this can become.
My best wishes for your Happy Romantic Life.....
