The Big Bang Theory: Sexual energy unpacked
I am a firm believer in the Big Bang Theory.
That is to say I believe our universe and all that it contains was a result of a powerful, thunderous orgasm that left the skies stained with the creator’s seed in the form of stars; and all the oceans, rivers and seas being the Goddess waters unleashed by the feminine.
And in true “As above, so below” fashion, us mere mortals experience sexual energy in the same way. But not just as physical intimacy – it is the most potent force within us. It’s a creative, life-giving energy that can be channelled for spiritual growth and personal transformation.
Sexual energy is deeply connected to our sacral chakra, the energy centre located just below the belly button. This chakra is in charge of our emotions, creativity, and sensuality.
When it’s working as it should, we experience pleasure, joy, and emotional fulfilment. However, when blocked, it can lead to feelings of guilt and shame around sexual pleasure, emotional instability and a lack of creativity.
When you claim sexual energy as your own and use it to fuel your spiritual journey, you will find yourself basking in the sunny rays of emotional balance, enhanced creativity, a deeper connection with yourself and the universe, as well as a healthy dollop of sensual pleasure.
How to tap into sexual energy
The ancients knew just how important it was to be able to tap into sexual energy. So much so that there are many spiritual practices that have accessing this raw, potent energy at the core of them.
Tantric yoga for example often gets a bad rap for being a “sex thing”, but actually it’s a spiritual path that integrates mind, body, and soul. Tantric meditation involves breathwork and visualisation techniques to circulate sexual energy throughout your body, promoting healing and spiritual awakening.
Kundalini yoga focuses on awakening the Kundalini energy coiled at the base of the spine. Through specific postures, breathwork, and chanting, you can activate and raise this energy, which is closely linked to your sexual vitality, up through your chakras to achieve higher states of consciousness.
There are also loads of sacred sensuality rituals that range from being simple to incredibly elaborate. They usually involve creating a sacred space, using essential oils, candles, and music to engage your senses. By soulfully engaging in these practices, you honour your body as a temple and recognise your sexual energy as a divine force.
Over the years I have developed my own sacred rituals around sex that include:
1. Practicing Mindful Touch
Whether alone or with a partner, I use mindful touch as a form of meditation to allow me to stay connected to my body by focusing on the sensations and emotions that arise.
2. Setting Intentions
Before engaging in any activity involving sexual energy, I set clear intentions. Whether it’s for healing, manifesting, or simply experiencing pleasure, having a focused intention amplifies the energy.
3. Crystal Magic
Certain crystals can amplify sexual energy and support your spiritual journey. I love Carnelian for boosting passion and creativity, Rose Quartz to open the heart chakra, promoting love and emotional healing. Shiva Lingam is another powerful stone for revitalising and balancing sexual energy. My favourite way to incorporate them into my practice is by using yoni eggs or wands.
4. Breathwork and Visualisation: I like to practice deep, diaphragmatic breathing to connect with my sexual energy. As I inhale, I visualise this energy gathering in my sacral chakra, and as I exhale, imagine it spreading throughout my body filling me with light and vitality.
5. Affirmations and Manifesting: I use affirmations to align my sexual energy with my spiritual goals by using phrases like: “I embrace my sexual energy as a source of creative power.” When manifesting, I like to infuse my intentions with the potent creative energy that I am generating to give my desires a turbo boost.
Embracing your sexual energy as part of your spiritual practice is about honouring your whole self— mind, body and soul. But some people experience a mental or energetic block when trying to integrate in this way.
