Kundalini, Karezza, and Expanded Orgasms
|
Kundalini, Karezza, and Expanded Orgasms Kundalini is a dormant energy within most people. In Hindu mythology, Kundalini is a serpent goddess who lies asleep at the base of the spine, coiled three and a half times around the first chakra. Her name is Kundalini Shakti, and she represents the unfolding of the divine Shakti energy, the energizing potential of life itself, a living goddess who enlivens all things. Under certain circumstances, the Kundalini energy awakens and begins to rise through the body, piercing and opening the chakras as she moves in her undulating, snake-like fashion. As Kundalini releases stored and blocked energies, her movement can be quite intense, sometimes painful, and often leads to mental states that seem out of this world. Circumstances that stimulate Kundalini awakening are many and varied. As a comment by Aura of Sex (BELOW) has prompted me to make an update, I'll provide the following suggestions for how to achieve the state of awakening: He says (rightly so) 1. Sound 2. Movement 3. Breath I'll clarify: Sound meaning peace, quiet, the lack of sound or soothing sounds that enable you to focus first and foremost on the sounds of your lover/s and the two or more of you together (not, for example, blasting Tool, which I do also enjoy for sex, sometimes. Good band, Tool. But not Tantric when at full volume.) Movement meaning rhythmic, fluid moves. And repeating, cycling movements. An example- the fingertips sliding up and down the inner thigh over and over. One side, than the other. Breath and most especially, shared breath- the rhythm created by and intensity of breathing in sync is unparalleled. This can be achieved by a concentrated focus on your partner's breathing, a consciousness in breathing yourself, think of the doctor saying 'take three deep breaths.' But this will of course need to happen over and over, and be done in a regulated controlled but escalating manner. Kundalini is a condensed, primal force, similar to the potential energy found in water. When released, it creates a vertical connection between the chakras by opening the subtle channels known as nadi, most specifically, the central channel that moves up the spine called sushumna. If we put water through a small hose at very high pressure, the end of the hose will undulate like a snake. Similarly, the intense energy of Kundalini undulates in the body as it rises through the chakras. Kundalini can also be seen as a result of the chakras connecting to each other. Theoretically, as the chakras enlarge, the spinning of one can enchance the spinning of the one above or below it. According to Tantric philosophy, lovers can learn to direct sexual energy through the body's "chakras," or energy centers. Moving the energy of orgasm through these physical channels (activating a lover's kundalini) is thought to create sensations of ecstasy throughout the body and to enhance health. There is much to learn about this ancient art. Over time and through practice of the art of Tantric sex, lovers can release a particular kind of energy that can bring about harmony�and increase sexual pleasure and intimacy. While you are learning to ride the wave-edge, take turns with your partner. As one of you rides the wave of bliss, the other acts as a "lookout," keeping the wave-rider from falling into the undertow of orgasm-when the wave-rider reaches saturation and relaxes, you trade roles. During the course of one sexual encounter, you may trade roles often. You may also rest (in a semi-detumescent state), and begin again later if you like. When you and your partner become attuned to one another, you will no longer think about who is riding the edge and who is guiding; the roles will blend and mesh and you will both simply "be" there. That is basically the "secret teaching" of tantra. Sometimes, while learning these techniques, the lookout partner becomes suffused with a feeling of personal power, knowing that he or she can cause the wave-riding partner to have an orgasm, simply by making a slight gesture at the point when the wave-rider is letting go and relaxing. This experience of power should not be devalued. It is profoundly moving to realize that someone has given his or her sexuality into your control and it is a pleasure of high magnitude to watch the process of your partner's orgasm unfold -- but once you understand your power in the situation, don't force your partner over the edge, for mistrust may develop, and the partner who is continually forced into orgasm may lose the fine proprioceptive senses he or she should be developing. A non-religious spiritual form of sexuality is best known in America as karezza was popularized in the 19th century by Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham. To allow spiritual feelings to evolve without embedding them in a religious context, try the karezza technique of looking into your partner's eyes, thinking about the universality of sexual congress among all species, and then extending your awareness out beyond the pair of you to the world and to the cosmos. You may find yourself in what is called by some "the magnetic ocean," a sensation that you are partaking of a universal, ongoing sexual experience that is life itself. Expanded orgasm is any sexual experience more intense and extensive than what can be described as, or included in the definition of, a regular orgasm. It includes a range of sensations that include orgasms that are full-bodied, and orgasms that last from a few minutes to many hours. The term was coined in 1995 by Dr. Patricia Taylor. It was used in her Ph.D. research of intense sensual experiences of 44 couples from various backgrounds and referenced in a video she produced in 1998. Distinguishing features of expanded orgasm are energetic sensations and contractions all over the body, especially in the abdomen, inner thighs, hands and feet, and of course the genitals. There are reports of practitioners going into various altered states of consciousness, bringing about deep emotional release and rejuvenation, profound spiritual experiences, having awarenesses not normally perceived in regular orgasm, and perceiving energy expanding beyond the limits of their bodies.

Wow...well if you ever want a student please let me know...and I don't mean that in the crass "I would love to have sex with you" kind of way, although that in and of itself is true, but no rather in the I know I need to experience and learn this to better satisfy my life and my partner. I too am tired of "junk food sex", better to be on a diet than lose the taste for everything... There was a younger guy (21) earlier this year who is a friend of mine. He asked me to help him sort out how to give oral on a woman properly. His three previous partners had not had orgasms from his efforts (although he told me they came during fucking). I was actually going to help him this one night but circumstances interfered - and then -eventually he got a girlfriend, and the deal was off. He's a monogamous man, which I respect. But a man who is older than me. That would be an interesting dynamic. I don't think, dear, it would be possible to have tantric sex without the sort of bond you have from a relationship of two partners. A student/teacher relationship (I think) would just not render up the connection possible to exchange and move energy as I have described. Could be wrong here. But thank you, indeed, for the compliment. MT

Dear Aura of Sex, YES! Absolutely. In fact, I ought to update that portion of this post right now. I think - though - that 'meditation' was sufficing for me to cover the three keys you present. But I realize it's not clear and obviously better to just state it outright. Thanks! MT

Dear Dicey, I can't help myself. I do believe in this stuff. For starters- I have to have some way to explain how it is that I can do what I can do, and how others can do to me what they can do. I'm not conventionally religious...but I believe in orgasms and the stuff between the atoms that spins around and comprises of our auras. I have felt it, and I felt it very much this weekend. But yes, I did think of you. As odd as you might conceive this- there was a chat about you. You should consider reading "The Ethical Slut," and you should know I am not past a relationship (of sorts) with more than one person at a time. I'm not saying I want to have your 'blog babies,' R., I'm saying I'd like to get to know YOU more. The guy who uses words like esoteric and stymied. Who is also very amusing and listens to The Pixies etc. That's good stuff in my book. And stupid fucking FriendFinder-x has not made it possible for me to send you a piece of mail, privately, saying this stuff, as I am a standard member. (Regardless that I have ovaries and supposedly other women can see profile pictures, send mail etc.) So, I'm here saying this HERE but it's entirely not my preference. But you should also know I'm a very small step from feeling that I am in love with the man I spent time with this past weekend. And, I'll go even further and be a bit bolder and say he feels the same towards me. So the ball is in your court, R. MT - Mariana - E. LOL!!!!! loadeddice 02 My friends are hoping you will figure this out????? My two friends!! My friends live "AT" Ya...... hooooooooooooooo Put it all together... my handle, plus #'s, plus the rest is easy!!!! Dice has felt the need to improve your boring blog???????

I am enlightened by your post...Thank you...I have had some experience with tantric sex and I must say it is so far above the normal experience. Unfortunately not many seem to want to spend that kind of time and effort...Thanks for the insight... But, the basics- I think most people could experience that sort of encounter if they would open themselves up to sex as about the journey not the destination. There is far, far too much emphasis on orgasm and multitudes of orgasms vs quality. Maybe I'm being obnoxious because I'm a hugely multi-orgasmic woman. Not that they come 'easily,' exactly- but with the amount of thought and study I've put into my sexuality and my body, as well as sexuality as a whole. In short, I'll say that at this point I am reaping the benefits of my years of experience and study, and having had about 100 sex partners to date- one gets to know what works and what doesn't. I liken the whole situation to junk food vs healthy organic whole food. I'm no longer satisfied with junk food sex. Nor should you be. MT

Now I know my problem...I amout of balance. I have never experienced orgasms of this intensity. But then there is enough blockage to eliminate this possibility. Hm. I'm no expert and I don't want to steer you wrong. But, I think if you think in absolutes "never," and in terms of problems - you will always be challenged. See it rather as, Ah HA! and go forward with a positive viewpoint. I have faith! MT

I love you dearly.... and I missed you this weekend!!! But you come back and post on how to enhance and orgasm... through blanking out your mind and waiting??? LOL!!!!!! UGH!!!! I missed you.... I really did!!!!! Dice the former black magician ........ is stymied that his blog love is so esoteric I can't help myself. I do believe in this stuff.

I think that the chakra system is one of the most elegant systems ever devised for examining the human condition. I'm doing a systematic meditation on each of them in turn. All sorts of things are turning up in my mind. I do absolutely concur. One of the most profound experiences of my weekend was in experiencing with my lover extensive periods of energy shifting, myself mainly activating his chakras. Once he experienced this for a period of several hours, he described it very eloquently as very much like feeling out of body or stoned. We were both open to an expanded orgasmic experience, and we both achieved this. I focused my energies on his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th chakras. In particular, he had some really powerful responses after I had achieved activation of his throat and heart chakras, although I enjoyed the passing back and forth of energy through eye contact and the third eye chakra immensely - as he has such magnetic eyes. And we spent many moments of orgasm in penetrating eye to eye contact. I was able to achieve kundalini activation through touch on his hands, his feet, and through 'almost' touch (a hovering hand) - as you know the energy flows from the center outwards to the extremities- so, to be able to do this (hands, feet, almost touch) on a first night together was pretty magical and really blew both our minds. After he had the experience of extensive, numerous, full-body orgasms - through both touch and proximity, he tried it on me. Towards the end of the weekend, he was also able to give me full-body and extended orgasms through touch and activation of my chakras, particularly my root chakra, and my throat chakra through my spine. I am really looking forward to our continued exploration of these beautiful and powerful abilities. This post serves several purposes. It's a reminder for both of us of our time together. It's for me to collect my thoughts and begin to process them. It's for him to read a little more about what happened and maybe have some 'words' to express the powerful energy he felt/feels...and it's to answer those who requested me to post some 'news' about my fuckfest. I really appreciate how you and I have connected so often on these sort of ideas and practices I know many people here don't seem to consciously or actively pursue. I hope your leg is feeling better and better each day! Best, MT
