The chakras and sexual energy

What are chakras?

There are approximately seven chakra points in our body, each one corresponds to a point where we receive, assimilate and manifest energy. We call Prana the cosmic energy that runs through the chakras that are aligned vertically along the center line of the human body and are focused on by yogis and those who work with energy.

It is important to know that all sexual energy is stored in the root chakra or Muladhara, it is located at the base of the spine and governs our instincts and our genetic coding. This chakra has 3 aspects:

Anal: There will probably be constipation on the anal aspect of the mooladhara. This happens, especially when going to the bathroom at fixed times. At this point, going to the toilet becomes more of a psychological problem than a physical one. The problem is that if the bathroom is not used when the need is felt, the natural functions of the body are blocked. In this case, the person may force themselves to stop their bowel movements and this blocks ingrowth. In fact, the root chakra can become blocked as a result of suppressing these natural movements.

Oral: There are root chakra problems that can creep in from birth, as they could be the result of an incomplete childhood. Signs of a blocked root chakra, in this case, include obsessive kissing, chewing gum, and even smoking.

Genitals: Some people may be free of the oral and anal aspects of the root chakra, but may face the genital. In this case, having a blockage can cause a type of repression of sexual energy. In fact, it's really not surprising that someone sees sex as casual or a sin. For others it may be something just for playback. However, if you think this about sex, the possibility of experiencing a satisfying sexuality will be limited. People in these categories tend to always have a very poor and incomplete sex life.

The other chakras

You can stimulate the flow of energy that accumulates in each of the chakras, there are times when it gets stuck in a specific one and then it must be stimulated so that it can be renewed. Although each chakra is related to a body part and a dimension of our lives, we must know that they are also related to each other.

Caring for the energy that passes through each one is very important to achieve well-being, tantric massages can help us in this.

In ascending direction after the root or base chakra we find the pelvis chakra, Swadhishthana, it is located in the genitals, and controls our sexual life, to which we must also pay close attention during the tantric massage .

The navel chakra, Manipura, is located in the navel and is in charge of governing our personal power.

The heart chakra, Anahata, is located in the heart and governs our love.

The throat chakra, Vishuddha, is located in the throat and dominates our communication.

The forehead chakra, Ajna, is located between the eyebrows and is associated with the third eye.

And finally the crown chakra, Sahasra, located at the crown of the head and related to the brain and the pineal gland, the center of our spirituality.

Tantra and specifically tantric massage techniques aim to return us to our true nature and human power. The path is as important as the end since they are the same. Thanks to tantra we attract the light of the spirit that we are and live it through the body, thus achieving the connection with our spirituality through conscious sexual union.

But all this is achieved through tantra, first through the total relaxation of the entire body. Then you will be ready for the dissolution and release of the energy blockages that we find in the body and that have been produced by different causes, such as education, beliefs, etc.

Tantric massage, desire and sex

Tantra is a practice that cultivates awareness of oneself in existence through sexual awakening. This can occur thanks to the opening of the chakras. Normally in sexual encounters, we send our energy out, as if we were releasing all the energy that has accumulated during the moment of arousal. We may experience great pleasure for a moment, but it usually doesn't last long. With tantric awareness, our sexual vitality begins to move through our body from the root or base of the body to the crown chakra.

With tantra massage it is possible to transform the blocked unconscious energy into consciousness. In this way we experience how that energy flows and the blockages that prevent us from living fully are diluted. Therefore we could say that this type of massage is a therapy for your inner self and your sexuality, an intimate encounter with your being where you are allowed to live, experience and discover your own sexuality as you have never done before.

The desire that in many cultures is intended to annul because it is considered the origin of many evils, in tantra the opposite happens, because it is perceived as the engine of the universe, the cosmic glue that creates everything and keeps it alive. Therefore, instead of repressing the desire and trying to annul it, in tantra it is said that you have to follow it to its end.

It is necessary to transmute sexual energy, not eliminate it. This energy is neutral, neither good nor bad, it depends on how you use it.

Used negatively, it can lead us to attachment, to more exaggerated sex, generate blockages, etc. Used in the common way, it can destroy us and, therefore, yoga tells us to eliminate desire and live without it. Tantra says to accept it, to be aware of it, not to create any conflict. Let us let ourselves be carried away by it with awareness and thus, we will go through it and transcend it.

Sex has to be transformed into love, and this into light, into a profound meditative experience, into a supreme mystical experience.
