The Art Of The Multidimensional Or**sm
There is something I'll call "conventional" or**sm, which may be what some of you are referencing as you write your comments. Neurochemically, or**sm releases the hormone oxytocin, which promotes good feelings and can lead to mutual comfort, safety, and caring, but not always. For example, if you have an or**sm with a casual encounter, it is unlikely to promote anything but a feeling of release with a strong desire to go home. Many times disconnected or addictive s*x can lead to emotional irritability and intense feelings of malaise, self blame or even the blues.
Oxytocin breaks down quickly in the body, so the good feelings dissipate rapidly unless you choose to maintain the powerful relationship bonding that s*x can offer. If you remember the exercise called Touching Hearts that I suggested in the second blog, (sadly, some people thought they'd feel silly trying it with their partners) there are great benefits from stimulating emotions that accompany open-heartedness such as appreciation, giving, caring, closeness. These emotions decrease our levels of cortisol, high levels of which are harmful, and increase our levels of the beneficial hormone, DHEA.
However, aside from genitally focused s*x, with its relatively rapid release and let down after or**sm, there are two other levels (there are many, but I'm keeping it simple). These are:
Conscious Loving which is the enhancement of partner commitment through loving communion. It includes the experience of the "valley or**sm:" longer lasting and continuing waves of energy moving through the body. It is the heart level of s*xuality.
Spiritual Union which is the ecstatic expanded experience producing altered states of consciousness. It encompasses the "cosmic or**sm:" the timeless, boundless state where or**smic waves move through all the energy centers. Cosmic or**sm can and does occur spontaneously to anyone, but as a practice, it can replenish the life force with release through the crown of the head.
The truth is we are capable of experiencing or**sms in multiple dimensions. Energy centers, called chakras (meaning "spinning wheels" in Sanskrit) are not anatomical structures in the body but are clusters of oscillating energy. Chakras function like electrical transformers, lowering the vibrating rate of life force energy, called Prana in the Vedic system and enabling it to flow through the body. We are actually an organized combination of several energy systems around a unifying field. If we could see the subtle light bodies around us, we would look somewhat like a "luminous egg." It is the electrical energy generated from the combined subtle systems in and around our bodies. When you received acupuncture, for example, the meridians being stimulated with needles are aspects of these subtle energy systems.
If you interested in reading more about this or even getting some training, some of the esoteric systems of spiritual s*xuality available in the West are: Ta**ra, Kundalini Yoga, Quodoushka, Egyptian, Taoist and Toltec traditions to name a few. These traditions offer wisdom about s*xuality that can balance us and benefit our health as well as heighten spiritual awareness.
