đŽ How Sex Affects You Spiritually
(Where the sacred meets the sensual)
Letâs get something out of the way: sex isnât just physical.
Itâs emotional, energetic, and â for many of us â deeply spiritual. At Your Pleisure, we believe that exploring your sensuality is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with your spirit, your self-worth, and your sense of inner knowing.
So letâs dive into it: what happens when we stop seeing sex as a âsinâ or a âperformanceâ⌠and start seeing it as a spiritual practice?
âŻď¸Taoist Sexual Alchemy: Turning Desire Into Divine Energy
In Taoist philosophy, sex is not a sin to be hidden, nor a game to be conquered. It is energy â powerful, raw, and sacred. This energy, known as jing, is considered the essence of life itself. When cultivated with intention, it can nourish the body, expand the spirit, and align us with the cosmic flow of the Tao.
This practice is called Taoist Sexual Alchemy â a path where pleasure becomes medicine, desire becomes transformation, and intimacy becomes a gateway to immortality.
Whoâs behind Taoism?
Philosophical Founder: Laozi is regarded as the âfounderâ because his Tao Te Ching (81 poetic verses) distilled the essence of Taoist thought: simplicity, naturalness, balance, and flowing with the Tao.
Other Influencers:
Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu) (4th century BCE) expanded Taoism with stories and parables that emphasized freedom, spontaneity, and living in harmony with nature.
Early Taoist practitioners, alchemists, and mystics shaped Taoismâs spiritual side â developing practices like qigong, meditation, breathwork, and sexual alchemy.
How Long Has Taoism Been Practiced?
Origins: Taoism (also spelled Daoism) traces its roots back over 2,000 years in China.
Earliest Texts: The foundational work, the Tao Te Ching, is traditionally attributed to the sage Laozi (Lao Tzu) around the 6th century BCE.
Evolution: While Laozi is credited with articulating Taoist philosophy, many of its practices â meditation, energy work, nature rituals â were drawn from even older Chinese folk traditions and shamanic practices.
Religious Taoism: Over centuries, Taoism evolved into both a philosophy (focusing on harmony with the Tao, or âWayâ) and a religion (with rituals, deities, temples, and priesthood).
So, Taoism has been practiced in some form for over 2,500 years, blending ancient folk wisdom with philosophical teachings.
The Essence of Jing
In Taoist thought, humans are born with a reservoir of jing (life force). It fuels our vitality, sexuality, and longevity. Unlike breath (qi) or spirit (shen), jing is finite â once depleted, it shortens our life and weakens our health.
Sexual alchemy teaches that instead of losing this essence through unconscious sex or excessive release, lovers can circulate and refine it. In this way, sex becomes a tool not of depletion, but of regeneration.
The Dance of Yin and Yang
At the heart of Taoist sexual practice is the balance of yin (feminine, receptive, lunar) and yang (masculine, active, solar). When yin and yang unite in harmony, they create not only physical ecstasy, but spiritual wholeness.
Sex becomes a mirror of the cosmos â two opposites merging into one flow. This isnât just erotic play; it is cosmic meditation, aligning lovers with the Tao itself.
The Practices of Sexual Alchemy
1. Breathwork & Energy Circulation
Through deep breathing and mindful awareness, sexual energy is drawn upward through the spine instead of spilling outward. This awakens the Microcosmic Orbit, circulating energy through the bodyâs main channels, revitalizing organs, and clearing blockages.
2. Sacred Retention & Exchange
Traditionally, men were encouraged to control ejaculation, retaining jing to preserve vitality. Women were honored as natural keepers of yin essence. In modern practice, both partners learn to share and circulate energy, so each leaves nourished rather than drained.
3. Intentional Union
Rather than chasing orgasm, the focus is on rhythm, slowness, and awareness. Every thrust, touch, and breath becomes a meditation. Intimacy is measured not by climax, but by connection and flow.
4. Alchemy of Desire
Through conscious sex, desire is not suppressed but transformed â moving from lust into compassion, from hunger into creativity, from craving into spiritual bliss. This is why Taoists called sexual union the âelixir of immortality.â
Spiritual Effects of Taoist Sexual Alchemy
Longevity: By conserving life force, practitioners believed they could live longer, healthier lives.
Vitality: Circulating jing replenishes energy, strengthens immunity, and restores balance.
Clarity: As sexual energy refines into spiritual energy, the mind clears and intuition deepens.
Union with Tao: Lovers experience oneness with each other â and with the infinite flow of the universe.
The Modern Relevance
Today, Taoist Sexual Alchemy invites us to rethink intimacy. Instead of rushing, performing, or losing ourselves in release, it calls us to slow down, to listen, to merge with intention.
It reminds us that sex is not separate from health or spirit â it is a form of self-care, a pathway to wholeness, and a ritual of alignment with life itself.
Closing Reflection
The Tao teaches: âThose who flow as life flows know they need no other force.â Sexual alchemy is that flow â desire channeled into vitality, love transformed into wisdom, orgasm blossoming into eternity.
đLessons from the Kama Sutra
The Kama Sutra is often misunderstood as just a manual of sexual positions. But at its core, it is a spiritual text â one that sees sex not as a mere act of pleasure, but as a path toward harmony, intimacy, and even enlightenment.
When we approach the teachings of the Kama Sutra, we discover that sex is less about performance and more about presence â a bridge between body and spirit.
1. Union as Sacred Balance
In the Kama Sutra, sex is seen as a dance of opposites â masculine and feminine, yin and yang, giving and receiving. This union creates balance not just between partners, but within the self. Spiritually, it teaches that intimacy is a mirror: when you honor anotherâs body, you learn to honor your own.
2. Heightened Awareness Through Pleasure
The text emphasizes mindfulness â slowing down, savoring, and paying attention. Pleasure is not rushed but cultivated. In this awareness, the sexual act becomes a meditation.
Breath syncs with breath.
Touch becomes prayer.
Presence becomes devotion.
Spiritually, this heightened awareness dissolves the boundaries of self, allowing you to feel part of something greater.
3. Awakening Energy Pathways
The Kama Sutra recognizes the body as a vessel of life force. Sex, when practiced with intention, stirs energy through the chakras â much like Kundalini.
The lower chakras ignite desire and grounding.
The heart chakra blossoms with love and compassion.
The crown chakra can open into bliss, unity, and transcendence.
In this way, sex becomes a spiritual technology â awakening pathways that link body, soul, and cosmos.
4. Sacred Exchange of Essence
According to the Kama Sutra, intimacy is not about taking, but exchanging. Partners give and receive, flowing energy back and forth until both are uplifted. Spiritually, this teaches reciprocity: sex as balance, not imbalance; nourishment, not depletion.
5. The Art of Union Beyond the Flesh
Perhaps the most profound teaching of the Kama Sutra is that sex can dissolve the illusion of separation. In the peak of pleasure, lovers taste unity â a glimpse of the divine. In this way, sex becomes a sacred path to transcendence, not separate from spirit but intertwined with it.
đ§đžââď¸Kama Sutra Positions That Ignite the Chakras
The Kama Sutra is more than artistry in intimacy â it is a map of energy. When approached with presence and intention, different sexual positions can awaken the seven chakras, aligning body, mind, and spirit. Hereâs how certain unions can ignite your inner energy centers.
đ´ Root Chakra (Muladhara)
â Grounding & Safety
Position: The Rocking Horse (woman on top, both partners sitting upright, rocking rhythmically).
This position emphasizes grounding through the pelvis.
Partnersâ bases press together, stimulating security, trust, and primal connection.
Spiritually, it anchors you in the body while opening to deeper safety in union.
đ Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
â Pleasure & Creativity
Position: The Lotus (partners sitting cross-legged, entwined face to face).
This deeply intimate posture presses the hips together while stimulating the sacral region.
Eye contact and closeness awaken sensual creativity.
Spiritually, it enhances emotional flow and ignites erotic imagination.
đĄ Solar Plexus (Manipura)
â Confidence & Power
Position: The Suspended Congress (standing or supported positions where one partner is lifted).
This activates the core and solar plexus through strength, balance, and willpower.
Sparks confidence, playful dominance, and trust in shared power.
Spiritually, it awakens the inner fire, stoking self-esteem and vitality.
đ Heart Chakra (Anahata)
â Love & Devotion
Position: The Embrace (missionary style with chest-to-chest contact, holding tightly).
This position presses the heart centers together.
Eye-to-eye, heartbeat-to-heartbeat, intimacy becomes devotion.
Spiritually, it deepens compassion, love, and tenderness in the act.
đľ Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
â Truth & Expression
Position: The Side Kiss (lying on your sides, facing each other, kissing while entering).
Relaxed posture encourages whispering, sighing, and communication.
Encourages verbal and nonverbal expression of desires.
Spiritually, it strengthens authenticity and allows love to flow through words and sound.
đŁ Third Eye (Ajna)
â Intuition & Vision
Position: The Yab-Yum (classic tantric lotus: one partner seated cross-legged, the other straddling them, foreheads touching).
Direct activation of the third eye through forehead-to-forehead contact.
Breathing in sync sharpens intuitive awareness and telepathic-like connection.
Spiritually, it awakens insight, vision, and soul recognition.
⪠Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
â Union with the Divine
Position: The Cosmic Union (any position practiced slowly, with prolonged eye contact, synchronized breath, and intention of transcendence).
Crown awakening is less about mechanics, more about surrender.
At orgasm, energy rises up the spine, connecting both lovers to source.
Spiritually, it dissolves the illusion of separation â sex becomes prayer.
Closing Reflection
The Kama Sutra reminds us that sex is more than physical release. It is meditation, energy exchange, and spiritual practice. When approached with reverence and presence, intimacy doesnât just satisfy desire â it awakens the soul.
Sex affects you spiritually because it is not outside your spirit. It is your spirit, embodied, alive, in motion.
đ¤Sex With a Past Life Lover: When the Body Remembers What the Mind Has Forgotten
There are lovers who feel new, and then there are lovers who feel ancient. The kind whose kiss feels like dĂŠjĂ vu, whose touch melts through time, whose presence stirs something older than memory. This is the essence of sex with a past life lover â a union where your body remembers what your mind cannot name.
The Magnetic Pull of Recognition
When you reunite with a past life lover, attraction doesnât just happen â it erupts. The chemistry is instant, almost fated. Itâs not just âlust at first sightâ but recognition:
Your skin tingles before they touch you.
Eye contact feels like a doorway.
Kisses carry a strange familiarity, as though youâve been here before.
This is your soul whispering: You have loved them before.
The Spiritual Charge of Intimacy
Sex with a past life lover is rarely casual. The energy is charged, electric, often overwhelming. Many describe it as:
Transcendent: Orgasm feels less like climax and more like surrender into the cosmos.
Timeless: Hours feel like moments; bodies move as if choreographed by memory.
Expansive: Instead of simply pleasure, there is awakening â intuition heightens, dreams intensify, creativity ignites.
This intimacy doesnât just touch the body; it stirs the soul awake.
Why It Feels So Intense
The intensity comes from more than chemistry â itâs the merging of karmic history. Your spirits carry the imprint of lifetimes of love, loss, or longing, and that weight resurfaces through sex. Which is why these connections often feel:
Magnetic but complicated â passion fused with friction.
Healing but triggering â intimacy pulls up both bliss and wounds.
Sacred but unstable â not every reunion is meant to last, even if it feels eternal.
The Healing Potential
Sex with a past life lover can serve as a profound mirror. The energy exchange may:
Release old karmic wounds (betrayals, unfinished love stories).
Bring closure to cycles that couldnât complete in past lives.
Catalyze deep self-discovery and spiritual growth.
But healing isnât always gentle. These connections may burn hot, unravel you, and demand that you face parts of yourself youâve hidden.
The Shadow of Past Life Lovers
The danger lies in mistaking intensity for destiny. Just because someone feels ancient doesnât mean theyâre aligned for your present path. Some past life lovers return only to teach, not to stay. Sex may feel like magic, but magic isnât always meant to be permanent.
How to Discern Their Role
Ask yourself after intimacy:
Do I feel expanded, inspired, and more myself?
Or do I feel drained, confused, or bound?
Is this union teaching me freedom â or attachment?
Your spirit always knows the difference between healing intensity and destructive obsession.
The Sacred Gift
At its highest, sex with a past life lover is a remembrance: of the soulâs capacity to love, to merge, to transcend the limits of body and time. Whether they stay for a night, a season, or a lifetime, their presence is a reminder that love never dies â it simply takes new form.
đKundalini Awakening: The Sacred Serpentâs Rise
Imagine a coiled serpent sleeping at the base of your spine, patiently waiting for the right moment to stir. This is the image many traditions use to describe Kundalini â a potent life force energy said to rest in each of us. When awakened, this energy ascends through the spine, activating each chakra and transforming not just your body, but your mind and soul.
Kundalini awakening isnât a myth whispered by mystics â itâs a deeply experiential process, often life-changing, sometimes overwhelming, and always sacred.
The Roots of Kundalini
Kundalini comes from ancient Indian spiritual traditions, particularly yoga and tantra. In Sanskrit, kundal means âcoiled,â referring to the latent spiritual energy resting at the root chakra (Muladhara). This energy is often depicted as a serpent because it moves in a spiral-like ascent through the bodyâs subtle energy channels (nadis), activating spiritual awareness as it rises.
While yoga postures, breath-work, and meditation can help awaken Kundalini intentionally, it can also stir spontaneously â sometimes triggered by deep meditation, emotional breakthroughs, sexual intimacy, or even trauma.
The Awakening Process
When Kundalini awakens, itâs as if your inner wiring lights up for the first time. The energy travels upward through the Sushumna nadi (central energy channel), moving through the seven main chakras:
Muladhara (Root) â The energy stirs from the base of your spine, shaking loose survival fears and grounding you in your body.
Svadhisthana (Sacral) â Creativity, sexuality, and emotional depth intensify, often bringing old desires and wounds to the surface.
Manipura (Solar Plexus) â Personal power, confidence, and inner fire ignite.
Anahata (Heart) â Emotional healing unfolds, often bringing compassion, empathy, and a deep sense of connection to all life.
Vishuddha (Throat) â Authentic self-expression becomes unstoppable.
Ajna (Third Eye) â Intuition sharpens; visions, insights, and psychic abilities may emerge.
Sahasrara (Crown) â A sense of unity with the divine, blissful states, and expanded consciousness blossom.
The process is rarely linear â energy may rise, fall, and spiral, sometimes staying in one chakra for days, months, or years.
Signs of a Kundalini Awakening
Awakening can be subtle or dramatic. Some common signs include:
Physical sensations: Heat or coolness in the spine, tingling, spontaneous body movements, increased sensitivity to touch and sound.
Emotional releases: Sudden waves of joy, grief, or anger â often without an obvious trigger.
Spiritual experiences: Vivid dreams, synchronicities, heightened intuition, or moments of deep peace.
Expanded states of awareness: Feeling âplugged inâ to the universe, sensing energy in people and places.
The Shadows of Awakening
While Kundalini can bring profound transformation, it can also unearth buried fears, traumas, and ego attachments. This stage is sometimes called the Kundalini crisis or spiritual emergency. Without guidance, one might feel:
Overstimulated or unable to sleep
Spiritually disoriented or emotionally unstable
Detached from daily life and relationships
This is why ancient teachings emphasize preparation, grounding practices, and mentorship.
Kundalini & Sacred Sexuality
Kundalini awakening often has an intimate relationship with sexual energy. Tantra teaches that sexual energy and spiritual energy are two expressions of the same life force. When cultivated consciously â through presence, breathwork, and mutual intention â sexual intimacy can act as a spark that sends Kundalini rising.
However, if approached without awareness, the surge of energy can be overwhelming, even destabilizing. The key is respecting the process, allowing the energy to rise naturally, and honoring the bodyâs signals.
Nurturing the Awakening
If you feel your Kundalini stirring:
Ground yourself daily: Spend time in nature, practice mindful eating, and stay physically active.
Journal your experiences: Track sensations, dreams, and shifts in your emotions or beliefs.
Seek guidance: An experienced teacher, healer, or spiritual mentor can help navigate intense phases.
Balance the energy: Alternate high-energy practices (breathwork, ecstatic dance) with calming ones (yin yoga, meditation, gentle walks).
The Gift of Kundalini
Ultimately, Kundalini awakening isnât about fireworks or mystical visions â those are just side effects. The true gift is a deepened relationship with your Self: a clarity that cuts through illusion, a compassion that extends to all beings, and a sense of purpose rooted in divine connection.
When the serpent rises, it doesnât just change how you see the world â it changes how the world moves through you.
đ Sleeping with Shadows: How Third-Party Lovers Drain Your Energy Without Ever Touching You
Because betrayal isnât just emotionalâitâs energetic.
You didnât sleep with them.
You didnât even meet them.
But somehow, you still feel⌠off.
Tired.
Disconnected.
A little less you than before.
When betrayal enters a relationship, most people focus on the emotional woundâtrust broken, boundaries crossed. But thereâs another layer we rarely talk about:
Energetic triangulation.
When your partner is sexually or emotionally intimate with a third party, they arenât just swapping body heat and words. Theyâre swapping energy. And because theyâre connected to you, that other person becomes connected to youâwithout your consent.
đ How the Energy Triangle Forms
Sex is an energetic exchange.
It leaves imprints, cords, and sometimesâopen doors.
When your partner engages with someone else:
They take in that personâs emotional and sexual energy.
They bring it back into your shared intimacyâyour bed, your conversations, your energy field.
Without direct contact, you can still feel the third partyâs presence in your body, mood, or dreams.
Think of it like energetic backwash: whateverâs in their field, comes into yours.
đŻď¸ Signs Youâre Feeling the Third Partyâs Energy
You might noticeâŚ
Sudden emotional changes that donât feel like âyoursâ
Physical fatigue after being intimate with your partner
Dreams or intrusive thoughts about people youâve never met
Feeling spiritually âcloudyâ or disconnected after sex
A drop in sexual desire or inability to climax with your partner
A low-grade resentment or unease that lingers
Your intuition may pick up on the connection before your mind fully knows it.
𩸠Why It Feels Like an Energy Drain
Third-party energy siphoning happens because your partner has become a conduit.
Their body, emotions, and sexual energy carry another personâs imprintâand youâre on the receiving end.
If the third party is:
Energetically needy (feeding on attention or validation)
Emotionally manipulative (using sex to gain power)
Spiritually ungrounded (carrying their own chaos)
âŚthen youâre indirectly exposed to all of it.
And because you didnât choose the exchange, your body often experiences it as a violation, even if you canât explain why.
đĄď¸ Protecting Your Energy After Betrayal
You canât undo whatâs been done, but you can reclaim your field.
1. Cleanse Your Space and Body
Take a salt bath with rosemary or mugwort.
Smoke cleanse with cedar or frankincense.
Wash bedding and air out shared spaces.
2. Cord Clearing Visualization
Close your eyes, see the energetic cords between you and your partner, and between them and the third party.
Gently remove yourself from the connectionâcut the cord, return whatâs theirs, reclaim whatâs yours.
3. Ground Your Energy
Barefoot on the earth.
Slow breathwork.
Placing your hands on your belly and heart, affirming:
âI am whole. I am sovereign. I release all that is not mine.â
4. Sexual Pause & Reset
If possible, take a break from physical intimacy until you feel energetically clear.
Use self-pleasure rituals to reconnect with your body without outside influence.
đ¤ The Truth?
Sex isnât just physical.
Itâs an energetic handshakeâor in betrayal, an energetic trespass.
You donât have to keep letting someone elseâs choices bring strangers into your sacred space.
Your body, your energy, your pleasureâthese are sovereign.
Reclaim them.
Protect them.
And never apologize for saying:
Only invited souls may enter here.
đŽ Soul Ties & Spiritual Entanglement: The Price of Unconscious Intimacy
Because some one-night stands echo for months.
You didnât plan to catch feelings.
You didnât expect your energy to shift.
It was âjust sex.â
But now youâre dreaming about them.
Craving them.
Feeling foggy, agitated, ungroundedâand you havenât even heard from them in days.
Welcome to the strange, sacred terrain of soul ties and spiritual entanglement.
And if youâve ever left a sexual encounter feeling like something stuck, attached, or followed you homeâyouâre not crazy. Youâre energetically aware.
đ§Ź What Are Soul Ties?
Soul ties are the invisible energetic cords that can form during deep emotional, sexual, or spiritual connection.
Theyâre not inherently bad. In fact, healthy ties can feel like connection, intimacy, trust.
But unconscious soul ties?
The ones formed in trauma, lust, avoidance, or imbalance?
Those can feel more like entrapment than union.
đˇď¸ Signs of Unhealthy Spiritual Entanglement
You might be experiencing an unhealed soul tie if you notice:
đ Obsessive thoughts about someone who is no longer in your life
đś Emotional numbness or mood swings after intimacy
đŤď¸ Feeling energetically âfoggyâ or disconnected from yourself
đľâđŤ Inability to enjoy intimacy with others or even yourself afterward
đŻď¸ Strange dreams, spiritual interference, or psychic discomfort
𧲠Repeatedly being drawn back to someone who is harmful or unavailable
Itâs not just about emotional attachment. Itâs energetic residue. And it lingers until itâs acknowledged and cleared.
đ§ Why It Happens
Sex isnât just physical. Itâs spiritual, emotional, vibrational.
When you engage in sexâespecially without full presence, safety, or awarenessâyou open portals. Literally and metaphorically.
If one partner is deeply unhealed, manipulative, or spiritually unaware, and the other is sensitive, open, or dissociated, an energetic imbalance forms.
Think of it as an unintentional soul contract.
One that keeps looping in your field long after the body-to-body contact ends.
đ The Cost of Unconscious Intimacy
Your clarity
Your boundaries
Your spiritual sovereignty
Your ability to fully connect with yourself or others
Your nervous systemâs regulation and rest
Even if the sex was âgood,â it doesnât mean it was sacred.
And even if you gave consent physically, you may not have been prepared spiritually.
đ§š How to Clear a Soul Tie (or Spiritual Entanglement)
Call Your Energy Back
In a quiet space, say aloud or write:
âI call all of my energy back from [Name]. I release what is not mine and reclaim what is.âCord-Cutting Ritual
Visualize a cord from your body to theirs. Gently sever it with light, a blade, or flame.
Thank the lesson. Burn the residue. Breathe into your body.
Cleanse Your Space + Body
Spiritual baths (salt, herbs, prayer)
Smoke cleanse (mugwort, rosemary, cedar)
Journaling, breathwork, shaking/dance
Reflect Without Shaming
Ask: What was I seeking when I said yes?
What did I ignore in my body?
What did this experience teach me about my desires or wounds?
Seal with a Pleasure Ritual
Pleasure yourselfânot to escape, but to reclaim.
Light a candle. Say an affirmation. Touch yourself as if you are the sacred one youâve been looking for.
đ¤ Final Truth
Not every soul you sleep with is meant to stay tied to yours.
Sex is powerful.
But your awareness is more powerful.
Youâre allowed to learn.
Youâre allowed to release.
Youâre allowed to reclaim your body, your energy, and your pleasureâon your terms.
Because intimacy should never cost you your peace.
đŤ Pleasure As Prayer
We were taught to bow our heads to pray.
To keep our legs closed, our voices down, our urges hidden.
But what if the bodyâyour bodyâis a prayer in motion?
What if every moan, every shiver, every breathless moment of pleasure is an offering?
Because letâs be real:
There are moments when surrender feels holy.
When the pulse between your legs becomes a pulse between you and the Divine.
Thatâs not sin.
Thatâs sacred.
đĽ Reclaiming Pleasure from the Shame Bin
For centuries, pleasure has been exiled.
Branded selfish. Dirty. Dangerous.
Especially for women, femmes, and queer folks.
It became something we give to others but rarely claim for ourselves.
It was something to hide. Something to apologize for.
But letâs be clear:
Pleasure is not the opposite of holiness.
Itâs an access point to it.
đ What Is Pleasure-as-Prayer?
Itâs not just about orgasms (though those are welcome).
Itâs about presence.
Itâs about dropping into your body as a site of reverenceânot judgment.
Pleasure-as-prayer isâŚ
The breath you take when you drop into your hips.
The tears that rise when you finally let yourself receive.
The touch you give yourself like youâre worshiping something worthy.
Because you are.
đŻď¸ Turned On = Tuned In
You know those moments?
When your body pulses with sensation and youâre nowhere else but there?
Thatâs presence.
Thatâs devotion.
Thatâs an altar moment.
Whether itâs solo or shared, pleasure can be a way to:
Call your spirit back into your body
Release what your mouth canât say
Heal where touch once harmed
Reconnect to joy without performance
đ Try This: A Pleasure Prayer Ritual
Create Sacred Space
Light a candle. Set an intention. Maybe play music that makes your hips remember.
Bless Your Body
Touch each part with care. Say thank you to your thighs, your belly, your chest.Slow Down & Listen
Ask: âWhere in my body feels hungry for touch? Where feels nervous? What wants to speak?âReceiveâWithout Rush
Touch doesnât have to lead to climax. Let it lead to connection.Close With Breath or Journaling
Anchor the moment. Write down what you felt. What rose. What released.
đŹ Pleasure Is Not a DistractionâItâs a Return
Itâs a return to yourself.
To the pulse of aliveness.
To the sacred center within you that never left, only waited to be noticed.
So the next time you reach for your body in longingâ
Do it like youâre lighting incense.
Do it like youâre saying grace.
Do it like your body is the altar.
Because it is.
⥠The Risk of Using Sexual Energy
Because pleasure is powerfulâand power needs responsibility.
We love to talk about sexual energy like itâs magic.
Because⌠it is.
It stirs the creative cauldron.
It manifests desires.
It heals wounds.
It connects usâdeeply, wildly, intimately.
But hereâs what most people wonât say:
Sexual energy is a sacred fire.
And if you donât understand what youâre holding, it can burn just as easily as it can bless.
đĽ What Is âSexual Energy,â Really?
Sexual energy isnât just about sex.
Itâs life force.
The same energy that creates orgasms⌠also creates babies, art, revolutions, visions.
Tantric teachings call it kundalini.
Hoodoo and African spiritual systems speak of it in terms of asĂŠ, or divine current.
But wherever you find it, the message is the same:
â Itâs not just energyâitâs power.
â And power, when misused, causes harm.
â ď¸ The Risks of Channeling Sexual Energy Without Intention:
Energetic Entanglement
â Youâre not just swapping fluidsâyouâre merging fields.
â Ever feel drained after sex? Thatâs not random.Addiction to Stimulation, Not Connection
â Without awareness, sex becomes escapeânumbing instead of nourishing.Manifesting from Wounds Instead of Wholeness
â When you use orgasm to manifest but youâre rooted in fear, you amplify the fear, too.Emotional Overload
â Sexual rituals can stir repressed trauma. Without support, it can feel destabilizing.Spiritual Bypassing
â Using âsacred sexualityâ as an aesthetic while ignoring boundaries, consent, and trauma-informed practices.
đ§đ˝ââď¸ Sexual Energy Needs a Container
Think of it like electricity.
It lights a roomâbut without wiring, it can start a fire.
Your body is the altar.
Your boundaries are the wiring.
Your presence is the ritual.
Before channeling sexual energy, ask:
Am I grounded?
Am I emotionally clear?
Do I know what Iâm calling inâor who Iâm calling in?
Am I trying to escape something⌠or move through it?
⨠How to Honor This Power Safely
Cleanse before & after sexual or energetic exchange (smoke, salt baths, journaling)
Consent isnât just for othersâitâs for you too. Check in with your body. Donât override a no.
Use intention with orgasm. Say it out loud. Anchor it.
Donât manifest from desperation. Wait until you feel connected, not depleted.
Rest. Your nervous system needs integration, not just stimulation.
đš The Truth?
Using your sexual energy can absolutely change your life.
But it will also ask you to change with it.
To rise into more responsibility, more sovereignty, and more integrity.
Because with great turn-onâŚ
Comes great accountability.
đ Sex After Trauma: Rebuilding the Bridge
Trauma doesnât just live in memoryâit lives in the body. And when it comes to sex, that lingering imprint can make something thatâs supposed to be intimate feel unsafe, detached, or even terrifying. If youâve ever found yourself frozen during touch, disconnected during intimacy, or overwhelmed by your own body, youâre not alone.
đ What Trauma Does to Intimacy
Trauma creates fragmentation. It breaks the flow between mind, body, and spirit. Sex might bring flashbacks, numbness, or guilt instead of desire. Touch can feel more like a threat than an invitation. Your nervous system might be doing its best to protect youâbut that protection can come at the cost of pleasure.
âł Permission to Slow Down
There is no ânormalâ pace for healing. You donât owe anyone orgasm, openness, or explanation. You get to say:
âNot now.â
âIâm not ready.â
âLetâs pause.â
Going slow is sacred. It is how we rebuild trustâwithin ourselves first.
â Reclaiming Consent and Touch
One of the most powerful tools after trauma is self-consent.
Ask your body before you touch:
âIs this okay?â
âWhat would feel soothing?â
âDo I need to stop?â
Self-touch can be grounding, even if itâs not sexual. Holding your heart. Pressing your feet into the ground. Tracing your skin just to say, âThis is mine.â
đŹ Sexual Communication in Healing
With a partner? Communication becomes your bridge.
You might say:
âPlease stay close, but donât touch yet.â
âCan we go slower?â
âI want to enjoy thisâbut I might need to stop, and that doesnât mean I donât care.â
Clear boundaries arenât barriers. Theyâre doorways to real connection.
đş Pleasure Can Be Part of the Healing
You donât need to rush back into sex to reclaim your sensuality.
Pleasure can look like:
A warm bath with oil.
Lying on your bed with music.
Letting your hips sway to a song that reminds you of who you were before the hurtâor who youâre becoming now.
Rebuilding doesnât always mean going back. Sometimes, it means reimagining everything.
đ¤ You Are Not Broken
You are not behind. You are not too damaged.
You are healing, and healing deserves patience.
Each act of self-trust, each breath where you feel safe, each ânoâ you honor, and each âyesâ you reclaimâthat is the bridge.
Journal Prompts
What does safety in sex or sensuality feel like for me right now?
Where do I hold tension in my body when I think about intimacy?
What kind of touch or sensation makes me feel most grounded?
đŻď¸ Sacred Touch: The Body as an Altar
We often talk about the body in terms of pleasure or performance. But what if we spoke of it as a temple? An altar. A living, breathing site of worship â not just for others, but for ourselves.
At Your Pleisure, we explore sexuality not just as a physical act, but as a portal. And touch â when offered with intention â becomes a sacred language.
This isnât just about sex.
Itâs about how you relate to your body.
How you listen to it.
Adorn it.

⨠What Is Sacred Touch?
Sacred touch is the intentional, present, reverent act of connecting with the body â your own or anotherâs â as something holy.
Itâs not rushed.
Itâs not goal-driven.
Itâs not performative.
Instead, itâs a practice of presence. Of slowness. Of honoring the body as a vessel for energy, emotion, sensuality, and soul.

đđžââď¸ How to Practice Sacred Touch
Here are a few ways to begin reclaiming the body as an altar:
1. Start With Self
Before offering sacred touch to someone else, start with you.
Take time to anoint your own skin. Not just lotion or skincare, but intentional strokes. Gratitude. Worship.
Touch your thighs with reverence. Your belly without shame. Your chest with care.
Try this: Apply oil slowly after a bath. Breathe deeply. Say thank you to the parts of you that hold tension, softness, or memory.
2. Set Sacred Space
Candles. Music. Clean sheets. Silence. Whatever signals to your nervous system: âThis is intentional. Iâm safe here.â
Sacred doesnât have to mean serious â but it does mean present. Youâre arriving with your full self, not distracted or disconnected.
3. Ask for Consent â Energetically and Verbally
Sacred touch invites constant check-in. It honors the shifts. It listens for the no, the hesitation, the sigh.
Whether youâre touching a partner or yourself, the altar deserves respect.
Try asking: âHow would you like to be touched today?â
Or: âBody, what do you need right now?â
4. Slow Down
The faster we go, the more we miss.
Sacred touch thrives in slowness â in the in-between moments. The exhale before the moan. The pause before the shift.
Slow is sexy. Stillness is sacred.

đż Why It Matters
In a world that rushes, consumes, and objectifies bodies â especially marginalized ones â sacred touch is an act of reclamation.
Itâs saying: I am more than something to be used.
I am a body and a soul.
And I deserve touch that honors both.
⸝
đŻď¸ Final Words
Your body is an altar.
A place of memory. Pleasure. Power.
May you approach it with the same reverence youâd offer to any sacred space.
May you touch with care. Speak with love.
And remember: the divine lives in your skin.
⨠Sex as Energy Work
Ever felt emotionally shifted after intimacy? Thatâs no coincidence. You can either feel drained or energized after sex. That is going to depend on the type of energy your partner is in; feeling drained is most associated with an energy vampire or low vibing energy as feeling energized is associated with a soul connection or energy alignment. (Do you pay attention to how you feel after sex?)
Sex stirs up energy â emotional, physical, spiritual â and when itâs conscious and consensual, it can be incredibly healing. When both are open-hearted and attuned, this exchange can:
Clear blocked energy centers (chakras)
Rebalance the nervous system
Restore feelings of wholeness and grounding
â¤ď¸ Activation of the Heart & Sacral Chakras
Heart chakra (love, compassion) opens with emotional intimacy.
Sacral chakra (creativity, pleasure) awakens through physical pleasure.
Together, this alignment bridges love and desire, healing any split between emotional and physical intimacy.
đ§đžââď¸ Release of Emotional Trauma
Safe, consensual sex can create a container where:
Old wounds (especially those related to body shame, rejection, or sexual trauma) can surface and be released
Tears, laughter, or spontaneous emotions during or after sex may signal deep energetic purification
đ Access to Altered States of Consciousness
High levels of arousal and orgasm can open access to:
Transcendent experiences (feelings of oneness, ego dissolution)
Spiritual downloads or insights
Heightened intuition or creative inspiration
This is especially emphasized in tantric and Taoist sexual practices.
đ¤˛đž Sacred Intimacy as a Mirror
Your partner can act as a mirror to your soul, reflecting parts of you that need love or attention.
Sex becomes a spiritual practice when itâs used to grow in self-awareness, acceptance, and vulnerability.
Whether itâs through deep breathing, full-body presence, or mindful touch, pleasure helps move energy. It can clear blocks, ease trauma stored in the body, and awaken your senses in ways that feel deeply aligned and intuitive.
