In Tantric Masturbation, energy is raised, moved and concentrated in various energy centers in the body called ‘chakras’.

From my previous blog post on Muladhara, we move on to the second chakra — Svadhisthana. In Sanskrit the word ‘Svadhisthana’ means ‘sweetness’, and oh, it is. The sweetness of change, motion, duality united and the sheer pleasure and joy of life and connection. In the second chakra we’ve moved from considerations of sheer physicality to the bare beginnings of emotional fulfillment.

Just as we in this modern world have an adversarial relationship with and to our bodies, we also relate antagonistically to our emotions and feelings. We have a tendency to squish our feelings, intuition and emotions down into a mental black box, to deal with them “later.” The problem is that for a lot of us, there is no practical “later.”

If you’ve been following along with this blog for a while, you know that I’m all about increasing your bliss, joy and happiness in life.

There is an awful lot of hate, pain and unhappiness in the world. Stress over jobs, the economy, life in general leads to an overall lack of health. You wind up living your life in an insulated ball of separateness, alone in the world and bereft of emotional connections.

Needless to say, I have a cure for that. In Muladhara we start the process of connecting you with your body, accepting and loving yourself physically. In Svadhisthana, the process becomes emotional. You are more than just your body, more than simply your mind. Your emotions, your feelings are important and vital to your health and well being.

In a masturbation trance you reach new levels of connection with yourself and with the world.

Through Tantric techniques, you can increase your bodily health, access deeply repressed emotions and feel more fully human. We are social creatures! We’re meant to interact, to connect, to move, grow and change. We aren’t meant to be locked in a sunless cubicle all day long, wishing for the day we could be free to become who we really are on the inside.

Free your mind and the rest will follow, the song says. Free your mind, your heart and your body, and you will finally feel whole. I want you to feel this bliss, the joy that comes from completion, connection and deeply intense emotional interactions.
