In many cultures of today’s world there is a misconception that sex is something dirty, forbidden or wrong. But the reality is completely different, because sexuality is not only something natural, but also something sacred, as it allows you to connect with The Divine and unite deeply with another person, not only on the physical plane, but also with their spirit, their soul, their essence and their heart.
In the practice of sacred sexuality, through elements such as energy, breath and presence, you can bond and get to know your partner on deeper and more conscious levels. In addition, through this practice you will have the opportunity to connect with your own divine nature, to reach dimensions of pleasure, intimacy and love that you had never known or experienced before.
Why Sex is Sacred
If you wonder why sex is sacred, by looking up the definition of this word you will find concepts related to the divine or divinity, as well as to that which is worthy of being venerated, which deserves exceptional respect and should not be offended.
The word “sacred” comes from the Latin ‘sacrum’ and it is no coincidence that the word ‘sacrum’ is also the name of the bone that is located at the base of the spine, where the kundalini or Shakti energy sits, and which is activated through tantric sexual practice, ascending through the spine to awaken the spiritual centers of the brain.
Sacred Sexuality is a part of virtually all spiritual traditions around the world, where sex is considered sacred simply because it is part of life; actually, not only that, it is in fact the beginning of Life, of All That Is. Thus, Sacred Sexuality recognizes that the life force and the sexual energy of the human being originate at the same source.
Sex is also sacred because it provides access to peak experiences of love, unity and healing. The human being needs to go through peak experiences of bliss, fusion and ecstasy, which can take place via sexual experiences.
Sexuality Beyond the Body
Tantra, Sacred Sexuality and the techniques of Erotic Spirituality teach us to honor the body as a temple of Spirit and to conceive sexuality as part of our human nature at all levels, rather than denying those natural sexual impulses.
Thus, by blessing and honoring the body during a sexual encounter, by establishing a union beyond the physical, by bonding with the other person or with yourself (a partner is not required to practice sacred sex) in a deep and spiritual way when making love, sexual union leads to higher states of consciousness and sex reveals itself as sacred.
Recognizing that your body and your sex life are sacred is a good start to begin to live an experience of sacred sexuality, yet for erotic explorations to truly become a vehicle for the spiritual path, it is necessary to learn and deepen into the techniques of Tantra and Sacred Sexuality
