Sexual Transmutation
The Art of Sexual Energy Transmutation Sexual energy, the essence of our deepest desires, manifests as arousal or excitement that courses through our bodies. This potent force shapes our actions, decisions, and much of what we do.
Bruce Frantzis, in his enlightening work Taoist Sexual Meditation: Connecting Love, Energy, and Spirit, describes sexual energy as the most powerful natural force accessible to humans.
It is, in essence, the energy of life itself.
Transmutation means transforming something into a different form, a re-purposing of its essence. Thus, to transmute sexual energy is to redirect it towards a new, meaningful purpose.
"The path of sexual transmutation isn't about hastily indulging in, denying, fleeing from, or overcoming the desire for sex.
Mateo Sol eloquently states, "Many strive to rise above their 'lower nature,' choosing to flee from or suppress their sexual drive, viewing it as primitive and unspiritual. But this is a grave mistake. Sexuality is a beautiful force, with orgasms acting as gateways to the Divine and pleasure being our birthright.
We must not confine this vibrant part of ourselves to the shadows through excess or denial. Sexual energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed."
