Different Aspects of Sexual Healing
- Process of Sexual Healing: It’s an individual process and varies from person to person because the problems are different for different people. How can you prescribe the same sexual heal method for a person who has a porn addiction and another who has a complete aversion to sex? People should find innovative ways of revisiting and relating to sex and finding ways out for past sexual strains that might have affected relationships to sex, developing a chord with the body, and changing the thoughts about controlling or losing control. To entirely incorporate this process, the person will have to reclaim his authentic sexuality.
- Does it heal all the partners or only one? We live in a world that is one and we can’t live in a vacuum. If you’re healing yourself that means you’re adding heal to this world. It’s very difficult for one partner to start the process of sex healing and allowing his/her partner to have an irregular pattern of sexual experience. Truth is that it catalyzes another partner to have a similar process of sexual healing.
- Does healing need two participants or can it be had via masturbation alone? Sex healing involves developing a relationship with sexuality separating anyone via masturbation. Most of the sexual damage happens in combination with the relationship with another person. The trauma that is due to relationships is healed in the same context of a relationship.
- What about sexual partners? To have more than one sexual partner is something that comes mostly from fear of intimacy, commitment, or fear of losing freedom. It is more of a rebellious attitude. Barely one or two issues, the majority of us are successful in developing steady sexual relationships and particularly sexual healing. If he/she develops the relationship with an individual and establishes trust with the same person and uses the stability of intimacy to expand his/her sexuality.
How to cultivate sex energy?
- Find a solitary place where there is nobody other than your partner. It doesn’t matter whether you lie down on the bed or sit down if you are comfortable with the environment.
- First, close the eyes and allow the sexual imagination to flow within you. Human mind is heavily aphrodisiac (drug that brings sexual instinct). Try to find out in which part of your body the sexual energy is activated other than genitals. Just aware of your senses.
- Try to feel the sensations that are growing inside you and start to stimulate gradually yourself or your partner. At that time your aim is not to achieve the orgasm but to gain the magical energy that can heal you.
- When you reach the peak of your orgasm, stop there. Though it might seem difficult as your body is never used to have orgasm and ejaculation. It’s completely safe to practice ejaculation control.
- Once you abandon stimulating yourself, try to place the tongue to roof of the mouth and inhale deep into the stomach focusing on the spot 2 inches below navel. When you exhale, and then try to focus on crown at top of the head. Repeat this process 4 times.
- After final exhale, slowly open the eyes and allow the energy to spread into the heart and fill the rest of the body that overflows the sensual energy.
- Repeat the process 3 times that means the energy will be multiplied as you practice more
