Sexual Transmutation
by Scott Jeffrey
Why?
Sexual energy is part of your life force. This energy arises from the first
or root chakra and the second or sacral chakra.
The root chakra is associated with your reproductive glands while the
sacral chakra relates to your adrenals.
When the sacral chakra is in balance, this drive for sexual pleasure stays
in moderation. But when something obstructs and weakens this sexual
energy center, it leads to all kinds of problems like sex addictions,
perversions, porn addictions, and aggressive behavior. (More on these
problems below.)
The basis for sexual transformation is to take your sexual energy and
channel it into a higher energy center.
The chakra above the sacral is the solar plexus chakra, which deals with
willpower.
Write it down.
Create an image in your mind.
Bring it alive in your imagination with sight, sound, and motion.
Associate positive emotions to the outcome.
Keep the goal to yourself.
Contrary to popular belief, both goal research and my personal
experience suggest that it’s best to keep your desire or goal to yourself
instead of announcing it to the world.
Step 2: Channel your attention toward your goal.
Most often, our energy and attention get fragmented into many
directions including sexual desires. To use sexual transmutation, you’re
going to channel this sexual energy into the image of your desired
outcome.
With renewed vigor, new ideas will likely begin to present themselves.
The universe, as Hill writes, beings to conspire in your favor. You’ll align
with allies to support you on your quest. And momentum will start to
build.
Stick with this process long enough, and depending on the object of your
desire, you’ll begin to manifest it.
Eventually, you may sense a deeper calling. Or, you might become
uninspired by using your sexual energy in this way.
Through a spiritual awakening, you may begin to see that your ego is
playing a game. The ego is always creating new desires, not based on the
Spirit’s Will, but on envy, greed, anger, and fear. Attainment begins to
lose its thrill.
Then, there’s a shift from external achievement to inner transformation.
You begin to see that you can use sexual transmutation to transform
yourself. Then, things get more interesting.
7 Reasons to Pursue Sexual Transmutation
So now let’s quickly review some of the reasons individuals may be
interested in sexual transmutation and the potential benefits it can
produce.
Semen has over 200 different proteins, vitamins, minerals and amino
acids. It’s a treasure chest of nutrients that the body and mind need to
perform at its best. Sexual activity can deplete your life force while sexual
transmutation cultivates it (see below).
When we deplete our sexual energy, we have a low libido or sex drive. In
men, this often leads to impotence. Through sexual transmutation and
having sex in moderation, one can improve their sex life.
The source of this leakage is in the mind: random thoughts and emotions
like anger, fear, and guilt. (Guilt blocks the sacral chakra.)
Both the nutrients within the semen as well as the life essence with the
sperm itself, when retained, can be used and absorbed back into your
body to support your higher energy centers, your nervous system, and
your brain.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet a man from China who
claimed to be 93 years old. I say “claimed to be” because he looked like
he was in his early 50s, and I was (and still am) a bit skeptical.
But he trained in the ancient Taoist ways. And both of my qigong
instructors who met with him were impressed with his level of skill,
ability, and knowledge. (Both of these practitioners have each trained for
over 40 and 30 years, respectively.)
This Taoist told me that in the old way of practicing these arts, you
abstain from sex throughout your life—you never “break the seal” as they
say in certain Taoist texts.
He said that even Taoists nuns (women practice and train separately
from men) abstain from sex. Finally, he said that this was the secret to
longevity and cultivating one’s energy.
That said, in many Taoist texts you’ll find guidelines for the frequency of
ejaculation that’s safe for men interested in preserving their life force.
The younger you are, the more life force you have. As you get older, this
life force depletes.
You won’t find much about pornography in ancient texts. Porn is a new
problem that plagues the latest generations. Here, however, we can turn
to scientific research.
Anyone familiar with Taoism will know the three treasures: Jing, Qi, and
Shen.
Jing, Qi, and Shen are energetic substances or frequencies that control
many aspects of our health, behavior, psyche, and spiritual
development.
But even though these three treasures are considered three different
substances, they are of the same essence, similar to how water can take
the form of gas, liquid, and solid (ice).
Jing – Essence
Jing is the lowest vibration of the three treasures. Many people mistake
Jing as sexual energy or seminal fluid, but excessive sex does deplete
one’s Jing. Jing most closely translates in English to Life’s Essence.
Qi – Energy
The Essence of the body converts to Qi (or Chi), which most closely
translates to energy. Qi is a higher vibration than Jing, and it transports
information throughout the body’s energy system.
Shen – Spirit
I’ll provide resources below for those who are interested in exploring this
topic more deeply.
The kidneys are one of the essential organs in the human body, and we
tend to give them little attention.
Do a kidney cleanse.
You can find a lot of resources for kidney cleanses online. Hulda
Clark’s is perhaps the most comprehensive. Renaltrex Kidney
Cleanse is a great product too.
Eat a diet that supports kidney health.
Foods that support proper kidney function include black beans, kidney
beans, blueberries, blackberries, spirulina, kelp, seaweed, pumpkin
seeds, black sesame seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, barley, millet and dark,
leafy green vegetables.
The kidneys and the liver don’t like anything cold—especially during
winter months and in cold climates. The more sensitive you become to
your body’s energy system, the more averse to cold foods (like ice cream)
you’ll likely become.
The body’s energetic system must flow freely, but for most individuals,
we have many blockages throughout the body. Qigong stretching is
designed to help gently open the body.
Then, learn how to sink all your tension down into the ground through a
practice like Zhan Zhuang.
Foundation #2: A Calm, Abiding Mind
Thoughts create tension in the body. When you’re able to quiet your
mind, your body’s energy is naturally preserved.
There are many methods for quieting the mind including meditative
practices, breathing techniques, and proper sleep.
Foundation #3: A Lightened Mood
Fear, anger, and seriousness all block the body’s energy system. In fact,
emotions stuck in the body is the primary source of
our energetic blockage.
Even if you didn’t go any further, setting up these three foundations can
radically transform your life experience for the better.
Also, Chia suggests that we only lose Jing through ejaculation and not
sex itself. Even without ejaculation, sex most definitely drains energy,
especially in men.
