Sex for Your Healing

Sex is a never ending factor of emotional life. It is not an unwanted stigma as many orthodox people think. Commercialism has added a tinge of bad taste to sex. But in fact, sex is natural. It is the expression of purity and beauty. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and so does obscenity. It is our perception to objects, thoughts and situations, which rule the mind to perceive them in the way we do and it reminds us the Biblical words of .Matthew 6:23.

Sex Has a Healing Power

Sex used properly has a healing power. Abstinence is forced many a time frightening that it will lead to disasters! A study involving more than 100 college students in the US 1999 found that the levels of immunoglobulin, a microbe-fighting antibody, in students who engaged in intercourse once or twice a week were 30% higher than in those who were abstinent. On the other hand, those who had sex more than twice a week had the same levels as those who were celibate. This is not to advocate any immoral value through sex, but to insist that sex used properly can yield positive results of healthy well being.

Ayurvedic Sex

India has been a home of Spirituality enlightening the whole world with its Yoga and ancient medical systems like Siddha, Ayurveda, etc. The exotic art and sculpture works found in various parts of the country depict life in every form and mood. They are bold portrayals of man’s deepest hidden passions and desires. Ayurvedic theories of Charaka, Sushrutha and others clearly explain the spiritual nature of sex which promises that sex is the gift of nature for human health and well being.

Preventive Sex in Ayurveda

Sexual desire is a natural phenomenon. Ayurveda recommends that indulging in sex should be with essential cleanliness and with a pleasant mind. It prescribes seasonal care to be taken for certain seasons. Sex during daytime is prohibited except in Greeshma (summer) and Vasantha (spring). During the seasons of Sisira (winter) and Hemantha (later autumn) daily indulgence in sex and during Vasantha and Sarath (autumn) only once in three days is healthy. All these seasons depend upon the movement of the sun. Seasonal changes taking place in nature make adequate changes in the human body also. As a result, variations occur in the physiological and biological processes of the body.

Vajeekarana (Ayurvedic Sex Treatment)

Vajeekara treatment of Ayurveda is good for prevention of diseases as well as for preservation of positive health. It is intended to increase the ability of sex. Moderate sex will build up the strength and vitality of human mind and body. Those who undergo this therapy regain potency. Vajeekarana treatment in appropriate quantity at appropriate time promotes virility, nourishment and strength.

Milk, amla (gooseberry), satavari root (botanical name-asparagus racemosus; family name-lilliaceae), black gram, etc. are some of the food items having this property. To make the body channels clean and acceptable, elimination therapies should be done in advance.

Both Rasayana( chemical) and Vajeekarana therapies in Ayurveda modify the metabolic changes and enable the body to perform the vital functions.

Sex with Tantric Yoga

It is quite interesting to note that thousands of years ago, people used, now what we call “sex energy” to reach higher degrees of awareness through Tantric yoga. Tantra was a blissful lifestyle of Ayurvedic Yoga, practiced with reverence and awareness.

Tantra Yoga helps the total surrender, or letting go of all mental, emotional and cultural conditioning, so that the universal life energy flows through the being. Tantric experts state that it is the blend of love and meditation. It considers sexual energy as sacred and as a means to reach out to the cosmic force. Ayurveda does not deny sex, or consider it a hindrance to enlightenment. On the contrary, it is a spiritual path, which says that sex is sacred, and not a sin. In Tantric Yoga, sexual energy is used as a catalyst for stimulating Kundalini energy, thus awakening the chakras in the human body making way for spiritual enlightenment.

Sex is a natural phenomenon given for a well balanced health. It is an outlet of depression and stress which cause a lot of diseases in the modern life. We can dare to say most of the modern diseases can be cured by proper handling of sex in our life!
