It is said that one gram of practice is worth tons of theory. Tantra is no an exception of this rule. Although in Western World, Tantra is understood as only intercourse, Oriental tradition explains in details what it means and how complex it is. Tantric methods are structured so that their practice definitely bring desired result. Regarding sexual continence, an important part of tantric system, we find the same rigor in practicing the necessary steps of this process.
So, we love, we understand what is good for..and … How we do it?
It’s important to know what you want, to know how you realize what you want and put into practice!
The first stage consists in a clear and firm will to have results in this method. Because we are what we think, a positive and enthusiastic attitude is our perfect ally.
The physical body is the environment in which sexual energy is manifesting and so it is necessary, as the second stage, a minimum detoxification, based on a simple diet that does not include alcohol, cigarettes and meat heavy dishes. The more we manage to preserve the health and physical vitality through a diet predominantly vegetarian, the energies will be easier to control and tantric experiences will be more fulfilling. This link between a healthy diet and the energetical level of a person, is explained in detail by many scientists, but also in the oriental tradition in Ayurvedha-Indian herbal medicine.
Further, certain exercises can be made to put in motion the energies of the body and to help you identify what kind of energy go through your being, where these energy channels are and how it feels when energy begins to be amplified and controlled in your structure. Also, these simple exercises will prepare you for controlling sexual energy.
What kind of preliminary exercises you should do?
On the internet you can find various methods of energizing the body, such as yoga, fitness, dance..etc. Above all, we recommend yoga exercises and breathing exercises.
A good example at the begining, is Sun Salutation- Surya Namaskara, the method that help you energize the entire body, eliminate negative thoughts and maintaining an inner balance.
After a while you practice daily Sun Salutation, you can switch to breathing exercises and yoga exercises such as Padahastanasa, Uddiyana bandha, Nauli kriya..etc. Remember that all sessions will be followed by a complete body relaxation.
You can also do Kegel exercises, sexual muscle contraction, which is really helpful for those who have never thought that those muscles can be trained.
Up here, if these steps are practiced carefully and consistently, more than half of the way is already done.
The Sexual Continence method involves several actions that has to be made almost simultaneously:
– Muscle contraction located between the anus and the genitals.
– Deep and conscious breathing
– Clear and firm mentalization of the energy direction in your body.
– Relaxation and awareness of the moods and the effects occurred.
These steps are explained in detail in part two of this article. Here!
As we spoke in the first part of this article, Sexual Continence is a very useful method for those who want to improve their lives in many ways. Often, those who become interested in Sexual Continence have wrong ideas that it is hard to do it. But you will see that is not. It involves several simple actions that are made almost simultaneously:
– Sexual muscle contraction
– Deep and consciously breathing
– Clear and firm mentalization of the energy direction in your body.
– Relaxation and awareness of the moods and the effects occurred.
In the West, ejaculation control is a controversial subject at this moment, while in the Orient is explained and analyzed already thousand years ago. This is the most important thing in Taoist tradition.
Beginners are advised not to be too excited and too passionate or too rushed. At first it requires patience and willingness to perform all the steps correctly.
The one who wants to learn the art of Sexual Continence must learn to penetrate the vagina very slowly and when it feels that ejaculation is imminent, must go out with a sudden movement. If he feels that excitement is very strong, but didn’t pass the non-return point, he must stop immediately and take out his penis no longer than 1-2 cm into the vagina. In this position will remain completely still and breathe deeply, will achieve a full air retention, while contracting very strong and continues the pelvic muscles (anal and penis muscles). Further he will focus on the process of sperm retention, will seek to alchemize this matter into energy through the process of transmutation, and raise consciously using mind and will, this huge energy to the higher levels of being, physical, mental and spiritual. Here comes phase of relaxation and awareness of the states of pleasure that infuses the whole body, even at the cellular level. After this moment of suspension that can last between 10-40 seconds, plus the relaxation of almost 1 minute, he can move and start again slow penetration. This method can be done as many times when it feels that excitement is high.
Exercise 1
To have a very good control of the sexual muscles, they have to be trained. This action can be learned through simple Kegel exercises. The idea is to use these muscles intensely. To do this, there are three basic exercises: slow contractions, quick contractions and thrusts.
Slow muscle contractions means that you struggle the muscles like you want to stop the urine flux and maintain contraction for at least three seconds and then you relax.
Rapid contractions consist of contracting and relaxing the muscle as quickly as possible.
And thrusts mime an action of pushing something outside. These exercises can be done anytime and anywhere, even sitting on the office chair. They work quickly and they have benefits like energizing the entire body, amplifying the erotic energy in the body and eliminate stress.
Exercise 2
This is an exercise for the anal muscles contraction. Breathe in through your nose and hold your breath, during this time strongly contracted muscles around the anus (as if circumstances do not allow you to empty your bowels). Thus prostate is stimulated. Exhale slowly and relax. The method is easy and effective; it can be done anywhere and anytime. It is good to make at least 200 times a day, because it has many benefits. It enhances vital energy and sexual energy, removes stress and tension, increases potency and energizes the entire body.
