Bioenergetic Aspects of Sex

Now let us discuss another important mechanism of regulation of the reproductive function — a bioenergetic one.

A significant part of an organism’s activity takes place on the bioenergetic plane [16,18,21,24,63]. On this plane there are special organs and pathways. These organs are represented by chakras, while the pathways — by meridians.

Knowledge about these structures have been used in the art of psychic self-regulation of Oriental countries since ancient times. But it is in our country that they got combined with modern scientific conceptions of multidimensional human organism and comprehensive teachings about chakras and meridians as reflexogenic zones of emotional-volitional sphere of man was created [14-25].

Mastering techniques of working with these zones equips one with radical methods of psychic self-regulation that allow one to transform oneself from a sick, dismal, constantly irritated individual — into a healthy, cheerful, and sociable person just within months.

Another function of chakras consists in accumulation and transformation of free (i.e. not involved in biochemical ties) bioenergies within the organism.

Chakras are located as follows:

Sahasrara — a chakra that has a form of a lying disk and is located under the parietal bone. Its diameter is about 12 centimeters, its height is about 5 centimeters (the sizes of developed chakras are given); It corresponds with the region of the forebrain hemispheres.

Ajna — a large chakra that is located in the middle of the head and is coincident with the central sections of the brain;

Vishudha — a chakra located in the lower half of the neck that occupies the space from the spine to the thyroid inclusive;

Anahata— a chakra of the chest. A well-developed anahata occupies the most part of the thorax.

Manipura — a chakra of the upper part of the abdomen;

Svadhisthana — a chakra of the lower part of the abdomen;

Muladhara — a chakra, located in the lower part of the pelvis between the coccyx and the pubic bone.

The level of development of individual chakras corresponds with psychological features of a specific person. So, when the following chakras are developed:

Sahasrara — the person has a pronounced strategic thinking ability, i.e. an ability to see the “big picture”, to comprehend the whole situation as if “from above”, which allows him to be a broad-thinking manager;

Ajna — the person possesses a “tactical thinking” ability, which allows him to successfully deal with “particular” problems in science, business, family life, etc.;

Vishudha — the ability for aesthetical perception is observed; good painters, musicians, and other artists are people with well-developed vishudha;

Anahata — the person possesses an ability to love emotionally (to love not “from the mind”, but “from the heart”);

Manipura — the ability to act energetically (but in people who do not work on ethic self-perfection it is often accompanied with a disposition towards dominance of negative emotions like irritation and anger);

Svadhisthana — the person possesses a well-pronounced reproductive function;

Muladhara — an ability to maintain psychological stability in various situations is observed.

Every one of us had an opportunity to experience specific manifestations of their chakras’ activity.

Thus, for example, when we are mentally tired we feel heaviness in the ajna or sahasrara region.

But something harmonious sometimes “takes our breath away”, which is a manifestation of vishudha. But in an opposite situation one may feel a “lump in one’s throat” — this is a reaction of the same chakra to the disharmony of the situation (for example, feeling hurt because of injustice of other people or of one’s own mistake that resulted in an “I-don’t-know-what-to-do” kind of emotional state).

Yes, our emotions get generated not in the brain at all, but on a bioenergetic plane — in the chakras. Those who can control their chakras understand this very well; they can in particular create and study their emotions, so to say, “in their pure form”, as energetic formations, as if “from aside”. The results of electrophysical studies that show that brain structures participate in emotional reactions reflect just a secondary link in the chain of realization of emotional states.

Anahata manifests itself at the moments when we experience unselfish love. But there are people who radiate love from their spiritual hearts all the time — at all surrounding people and in every situation. They are said to have a “big heart”. This is what we should strive to become.

Manipura can usually be perceived only when one experiences negative emotions, creating that nasty “sinking” sensation in the pit of one’s stomach or even a feeling of unpleasant energies swirling and bubbling inside it.

Dissatisfied sexual arousal gives one an opportunity to feel svadhisthana very clearly. These unpleasant sensations in the lower part of the stomach and corresponding segment of the spine (although this is not observed in all people) — are a result of overfilling of the chakra with a special sort of bioenergy — udana, which was supposed to flow out of svadhisthana and cause orgasm*.

Under normal conditions udana that has flown out during an orgasm gets into the organism of the partner. If the partner does not get his “due” portion of udana after the sexual intercourse he or she may feel tired or exhausted. This is why, harmony in sexual relationships can be achieved, as a rule, only provided that both partners have an orgasm at the same time.

Excess of udana (one’s own or received from a partner) gets transformed (sublimated) into energy of other chakras (provided that chakras and corresponding pathways — meridians — are developed and function well). Unutilized udana is accumulated in the muladhara chakra.

Depending on which chakra dominates all people can be divided into corresponding psychological types*.

Each chakra is responsible for supply of free bioenergies to organs that are located within the corresponding segment of the body. Many diseases of various organs develop because corresponding chakras are contaminated. Special exercises with chakras allow one to cure the respective organs.

Chakras are intercommunicated through a series of meridians:

Sushumna — this is a wide meridian that runs from the coccyx up the spine and through medulla oblongata to sahasrara. Sushumna conducts a wide range of bioenergies.

Vajrini — this canal is located within sushumna and is narrower. It delivers udana from svadhisthana to other chakras.

Chitrini — is a meridian that runs behind sushumna along the spinous processes of vertebras and in the skin behind them. In the head this meridian runs through the scull along and inside occipital bones to sahasrara. Chitrini conducts one of the subtlest kinds of bioenergies in the organism.

Along the front part of the body runs a very important meridian that is called zhen-mo (in Chinese) — or front canal. It begins from the upper occipital part of the head, where chitrini ends. Then it forks into two branches that turn round sahasrara and join in the forehead area to split into several small canals that run down the face and join again in the vishudha region. Its another large branch crosses through the brain, reaches the chin coming through the palate and joins the other branches at the front side of the neck. After that the canal runs down the front side of the trunk as a wide ribbon (8-10 centimeters wide), running through hypodermic cellular tissue. Below it crosses the pubic bone and heads through perineum towards the spinal meridians.

The topography and condition of all bioenergetic structures of the organism, including chakras and meridians can be determined by means of clairvoyance that may be developed through systematic Raja yoga practice [21].

Special exercises allow one to connect the spinal meridians and the front canal into one ring; this energetic circle is called the “microcosmic orbit”. Exercises with the “microcosmic orbit” give a unique positive emotional effect [21].

Let us touch on the issue of bioenergetic transformations that take place in the human organism.

Energy gets into a human organism mainly from food. After that it undergoes a series of transformations.

Initially all free energy that has been derived as a result of processing food in the digestive tract gets accumulated in the manipura chakra. Its quality depends on the type of foodstuffs that we eat. The coarsest type of energy is derived from a “killed” food, while the subtlest — from fruits, berries, vegetables, and grains. After that manipuric energy (samana, in Sanskrit) has to be refined before it can be used for various needs of the organism most effectively. Of course, this can be performed provided that bioenergetic structures that take part in this process are developed and function properly.

The first stage of the refining process takes place when samana gets transformed into udana. The second stage is performed by means of doing a special exercise — circulation of energy around the “microcosmic orbit”. During this stage the energy of the two lower chakras (muladhara and svadhisthana) gets raised up through the spinal meridians, “thrown over” the head, and brought down through the front canal. When going down the front canal the energy gets transformed, which everyone who has mastered this exercise can perceive. The front canal represents a some sort of an energy transformer. As a result the practician discovers an absolutely new world of the subtlest positive emotions, which are very important to master, in particular, in sexual contacts.

Developed chakras are also combined by the wide middle meridian which runs vertically trough the center of the body.

On a primitive level sexual communication of people is reduced to mechanical irritation of erogenous zones. But in case of spiritually advanced people sex is much more about subtle positive emotions. This corresponds with the very purpose of this kind of communication that they set for themselves — not reaching own orgasm as soon as possible, but giving the partner as much tenderness as possible and attainment of a high harmony between merging souls.

During a sexual intercourse an intensive energy exchange takes place between partners, and it is not only udana that they exchange. Activation of bioenergetic systems, cleansing of chakras and meridians can be performed. Those who attained an ability to see bioenergies can watch them flowing and control the energy streams.

One can heal one’s partner through a sexual contact.

But in other cases a serious damage of the bioenergetic system may be incurred, which can cause a disease. This may happen as a result of sexual contact with a drunk, sick or bioenergetically coarser person.

The latter is especially important for people who walk the spiritual Path: a spouse who does not go to God together with you, who does not work on refinement of his or her emotions and consciousness — will be a drag on your spiritual advancement. And if you do not change the situation radically — this will be considered as a sin of non-fulfillment of the main destination of any person — having to develop spiritually to the best of his ability. Jesus Christ told regarding situation like this that those who — for the sake of fulfillment of His Teachings — renounce earthly attachments to their unworthy spouses and go towards attainment of the main Purpose of their lives — to God — will receive a hundredfold, including blessings in the life to come (Matt. 19:29, Mark 10:29-30).

Sexual emotions, as any other kind of emotions, — are phenomena of energetic field nature and exist not only inside our bodies, but also get emanated beyond them causing resonance in some other people. And the latter — consciously or not — may get attuned to this kind of fields.

Various characteristics of sexual emotions such as primitive lust — or tender giving, coarseness — or refinement, arrogant contempt — or gratitude, also get transmitted.

But the most intensive influences in the sexual sphere, of course, take place during an immediate sexual contact.

In particular, it is from this perspective that a problem of partners’ bioenergetic compatibility should be viewed.

A result of compatibility can be a high harmony in relationships.

Incompatibility may lead in some cases to heavy depressions and even to the development of aversion to the partner. The prospects of future sexual contacts with the partner can become terrifying.

Another nuance is that short duration of coitus due to quick ejaculation may well not be a man’s fault, but a result of coarseness of the svadhisthanic energy of a woman. Namely, if her udana is much coarser than the svadhisthanic energy of the particular man — then his sexual contacts with this woman will be very brief, although with other women he will be able to have arbitrary long sexual contacts.

From a bioenergetic perspective, in order for the reproductive system to function properly not only has a person to possess overall bioenergetic purity and refinement, but also the bioenergetic structures of his organism that we discussed above have to be developed and well-functioning. Among them are:

Ajna — concentration in ajna during a sexual intercourse is similar by its effect on the reproductive system to activation of the sympathetic section of the nervous system. This reduces male potency (weak erection, shortening of the coitus) and also negatively affects a woman (inability to relax mentally, domination of irrelevant thoughts, etc.). If one partner concentrates in ajna it does not allow the other one to establish in subtle emotional states during the sexual intercourse. In a case like this harmony is impossible to attain.

Attaining the ability to shift concentration of consciousness from ajna to anahata and other chakras [16,18,21,24] allows one to get rid of being slaved to negative emotions. This also helps one stop the “internal dialogue” to which a great number of people are subjugated.

If there are bioenergetic contaminations in ajna which a clairvoyant may see as dark spots shifting concentration from it to another chakra often turns out to be very difficult to do, while keeping it somewhere outside ajna in this case is impossible. This is why it is very important to maintain this chakra in cleansed condition.

Anahata — constant being with concentration of consciousness in anahata as a background state is a significant spiritual achievement by itself. While during a sexual intercourse this is absolutely necessary. Merging energies of two anahatas produces incredible emotional effect.

Manipura — domination of negative emotional states that is supported by energetic state of manipura is accompanied by excitation of the sympathetic section of the nervous system, which is incompatible with harmonious sexual relationships. Proper bioenergetic system control training allow one to get rid of states like this.

Svadhisthana — this is a leading chakra of the whole reproductive system. Sufficient energy potential in this chakra is a prerequisite for manifestation of sexual emotions and reaching orgasm by both men and women, as well as for erection.

It is infantility of svadhisthana that accounts for lack of orgasms (when everything else makes for it) in case of women who just started their sex life; positive sexual experience afterwards leads to “maturing” of the chakra.

Distribution of concentration of consciousness between anahata and svadhisthana results in full manifestation of partners sexuality during the intercourse.

Muladhara — reserve bioenergetic potential in muladhara ensures stable realization of reproductive function, since muladharic energy replenishes svadhisthana in case of its exhaustion.

Vajrini — this is the meridian which channels udana from svadhisthana. Cleansing and development of vajrini allows women who suffer from anorgasmia accompanied by painful sensations to get rid of these symptoms by letting excess energy flow out freely of the chakra. Vajrini is usually cleansed by means of special methods along with sushumna.

Chitrini — concentration of consciousness in this meridian allows a person to attain extremely subtle emotional states, so valuable during a sexual intercourse.

The front canal — concentration in it of both partners leads to their experiencing an intense tenderness.

The ways one can master all these methods was described in my other books.

We will also add that winter swimming in ice-cold water can contribute to curing of many chronic diseases of the reproductive function. This methods was covered in the following works [18,20-21,23-24,40,42,72].
