Kundalini, the creative life-force energy at the base of the spine, uncoils up, like a snake, awakening new life into each of the Chakra regions. In some, Kundalini lies dormant, and the path upward can happen suddenly or gradually. This is not an energy to be taken lightly. There can be adverse effects if the individual is not under the supervision of a specially trained teacher who can guide the student in grounding techniques, and help the student understand what is happening to him.

There are many books out on Kundalini, and further reading is recommended. Some of the physical side effects can be nausea, dizziness, shaking, sweating, and psychologically the person may get ungrounded and delusional in varying degrees. Awakening and working with Kundalini is relatively safe if the individual is monitoring any differences in the way he feels, continues to work with grounding exercises and has someone with whom to check in. Many conscious psychotherapists today, such as Stanislov Grof, MD, are familiar with the effects of Kundalini and the awakening process.

The wonders of Kundalini lie in the ascent through the Chakras. Each of the areas of our existence that the Chakras hold will become more full and fulfilling. You will find more creative energy in your life to pursue the wonderful gifts that can be there for you: prosperity, greater intimacy, things falling into place easier, a greater feeling of self-love, expanded and enhanced self-expression, the intuitive senses will become more keenly attuned and the utmost of revelations, enlightenment through the crown region. Total ecstasy, bliss and peace is accessible. By returning to the source of who we are, our awareness expands beyond the illusion of time and space. Kundalini is the most powerful life-giving force in the universe.

SEMEN RETENTION

The practice of semen retention facilitates the awakening of Kundalini through the Chakras in the male, just as G-spot stimulation, and ejaculating Amrita does in the female. To begin the practice of semen retention, one must first let go of the idea of "getting off," or the concept of "coming." That approach to sexuality grows old, frustrating and unfulfilling after a while, anyway.

The PC or pubo-coccygeus muscle is key in semen retention, just as in quality female orgasm. The PC muscle is the muscle used to cut off the flow of urine. Try cutting off the flow of urine a few times, and you have isolated the PC muscle. A severely weakened PC muscle results in incontinence.

To strengthen your PC muscle, try to allow the anal muscles to stay as relaxed as possible, while squeezing internally up toward your Lingam or Yoni. Hold for ten seconds, and then relax completely. Repeat this exercise about forty times at first, increasing by one repetition a day, to one hundred repetitions. Remember, this muscle can get sore like any other. You may want to start out at more or less repetitions, and increase more or less slowly. Some results should be noticed within a few weeks, and very marked results within a few months. The PC muscle is key in semen retention because this muscle, when well developed and clenched firmly, will block the flow of seminal fluid at the perineum, right before it is ready to enter the Lingam shaft.

At this point with focus and breath, you are to pull the essence of the fluid up into the body. The seminal fluid will actually be absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly for one who is adept at this practice. Practice makes perfect. It is this practice of drawing the essence and semen up that facilitates the ascent of Kundalini energy.

There is another way to retain and recycle semen before the PC muscle is well developed, though strengthening the PC muscle is a must for the true practitioner. Pressing with two fingers, one behind the other, along your perineum, the area between the scrotum and the anal opening, find the hollow point. This is your Million Dollar point. Just before you feel an orgasm coming, press here very firmly, and while locking the PC and anal muscles, inhale drawing the energy upward internally. Allow it to flow up through your heart and crown Chakra on the exhale while relaxing but still pressing firmly.

This technique needs to be practiced to really feel the wonderful lift of vitality experienced via semen retention. The vitality is a lasting feeling that will add sparkle to everyday. Know, however, that if you press too far forward, the semen will go into the bladder, and too far back the semen will spill out of the Lingam. Find your Million Dollar point, and find a whole new freedom in being a man.

Semen retention makes it possible for men to develop the ability to have multiple orgasms, longer, stronger orgasms and decreases the chances of becoming impotent. If loss of erection is a concern for you, these practices can help restore your ability to maintain an erection for long periods of time. Working the PC muscle both with fingers and internally during self-loving or intercourse can aid in prolonging ejaculation and heightening sensitivity.

G-SPOT

The woman's G-spot can be accessed lying down, knees high, middle and ring fingers curled inside or more easily with a small, sanitary, phallic shaped object, or with your beloved's Lingam inside, pointing up behind the pubic bone. A sudden urge to urinate is a clear sign the G-spot has been accessed. It is, of course, best to urinate before this practice, so that you can relax into the feelings. Unlike the clitoris, very firm pressure is needed for stimulation. With a short but full deep outward stroke over the fleshy area in behind the pubic bone, the G-spot will begin to swell. Firm side to side and circular motions can also be applied. After the sensation to urinate passes, either pleasurable or possibly painful feelings will follow both emotionally and physically.

A woman's G-spot is a direct access to the second Chakra, and stimulation of this area can touch old emotional wounds that have not been completely processed through and released. This is why it is important to proceed slowly, being sensitive to subtle signals your body and emotions may be giving you.

During G-spot massage, place the other hand lightly on your heart Chakra, creating a polarity to channel the energy being aroused in the second Chakra up to your heart center for emotional release. Tears may overcome you from either pleasure or pain. If there is physical pain, back off. Be very light and gentle with yourself. If you feel like screaming to release old blocks, do so. Go with whatever is right for you in the moment.

As emotional cleansing takes place, be it in one session, or over a period of time, your pleasure will intensify to some of the sweetest pleasure know to women. As your energy rises to your heart center, and emotional release emerges, keep allowing the energy to flow up into your throat Chakra through breath and sound, and into your head up through your crown like a whale showering water over its self. Allow the Kundalini release to be complete, from root to crown and beyond. Your body may begin to vibrate and tingle, and joy and a feeling of effulgence may embrace your soul.

Rejoice in the pleasure of the new opening of energy flow bringing you more and more into harmony with who you were meant to be as a spiritual entity in a physical body.

GROUNDING

Remember, it is vitally important, just as with semen retention practices in the male, to work with grounding exercises before, during, and after G-spot simulation. Visualize the red energy from your root Chakra flowing down through your legs. Allow this energy to flow into the earth. Circuits run down through the body as well. Keep feeling connected to the core of the planet, giving way to gravity as you sink into the ground. You can draw up energy from the planet as well, completing the circuit. Just visualize a second current of light streaming up around the cord(s) that are going down.

Use your imagination to find what works best for you. When very grounded, you may begin to feel light as though you are suspended in space, with no beginning and no end, totally expanded into all eternity.

Another way to help ground yourself is to stand with knees slightly bent, bending forward at the waist letting your torso, arms and head hang downward. If you begin to tremble, just go with it. Give into the pull of gravity from this stance, feed from the energy of the earth and enjoy feeling more and more connected and solid.

AMRITA, FEMALE NECTAR

As you keep opening and releasing energy flow in the root Chakra, relax into it. If you do not ejaculate already, in time, with G-spot stimulation this capacity will open for you. The female ejaculant, called Amrita, flows from the urethra. It may jet out, or trickle out at orgasm, and may be anywhere from a tablespoon full, to as much as a pint of fluid. This fluid is watery, verses the creamy secretions from the vagina, but is definitely not urine, though it may feel like you might be urinating at first.

Amrita, which evaporates quickly, is a very sacred fluid the essence of which is said to possibly form in the brain and flow through the spinal column as an essence until it reaches the Yoni, where it becomes fluid as it is released.

Medical science has not yet been able to find the place of origin for Amrita. Rub the Amrita into your skin, enjoy the aroma, relish in it to make your lovemaking complete. It is called nectar of Goddess.

MEDITATIONS

SACRED SPACE & RELAXATION

Begin your meditation by creating a sacred space for your practices. If you are female, place your G-spot stimulator, lubricant, and an extra, thick pillow close at hand. Once you have created an atmosphere conducive to going inward, review the Relaxation section from Body Exploration Meditations, and begin. Remember to include the mantra So Hum for total mind-body relaxation. When you find your mind wandering, simply return your focus to the sound and the inner vibrations. After your relaxation, if you are female, go to the next section on G-spot Message, and if you are male, you can skip ahead to the Semen Retention Meditation.

End your meditation with the section on Closure. Come back later to work with the PC Muscle section and to study the meditation for the opposite sex so you can transfer your learning to lovemaking with your partner, that is if your partner is of the opposite sex.

G-SPOT MASSAGE

Enjoy the feeling of relaxation as you carefully read the following instructions. Give yourself about twenty to thirty minutes or more, if you wish, for this meditation.

Begin by addressing the whole body by softly caressing and firmly massaging different parts of your body inviting every part into the experience. Be thorough and sensual, though you will not be as detailed as in the Self-loving Message.

Use the additional information you learned about your body to get the juices flowing. Prop your buttocks up on a pillow as you lie back. Squeeze the Mound of Venus, and gently tug at the hair as you begin to go between the lips arousing the clitoris. Stimulate the folds of the vulva and the clitoris waiting for the vagina to throb beckoning you in...

As you are ready insert the middle or ring finger(s), reach deep and curl the fingers around behind the pubic bone, pressing and rubbing very firmly into the vaginal wall. It may feel like you are trying to touch the back of the clitoris. When you feel the urge to urinate, you know you have found the spot.

This feeling will pass. You may wish to use an object to stimulate the G-spot at this point as fingers grow tired, and it is difficult to reach with your own fingers. Continue on taking guidance from what you read in the section on G-spot. Key things to remember are breath awareness, firm pressure and opposite hand on the heart center or other Chakras making a polarity channel up.

See the Polarity Therapy section for additional information. You may want to coordinate using the opposite hand on the different Chakras with the practice of breathing in colored light. Be with the warming sensations of the light flowing in. This practice is definitely encouraged to facilitate opening. Of course, orgasm is not the goal of this exercise, but if you wish to allow yourself to climax, feel free.

Do not rush; let it happen. Inhale deeply at the point of rapture, and stretch the exhale out to make the throbbing all consuming as though to swallow you whole. See if you can relax enough to let the Amrita flow. Do not push yourself; it will happen in time. Relax, let go of inhibitions, and enjoy your time spent in a self-loving G-spot massage.

PC MUSCLE

It is just as important for women to exercise their PC muscle as it is for men. Keeping the pelvic floor toned will deepen the pleasure through out your erotic adventures and intensify your orgasmic waves. If you are non-orgasmic or pre-ejaculatory, this is the muscle to exercise. Strengthen this muscle by exercising daily as outlined in the section on Semen Retention. You can exercise this muscle sitting or standing wherever you are: in the grocery store check out line, at a red light, at the desk, watching TV, or you may want to add the exercises to your meditation time. The stronger this muscle gets the easier it is to isolate and exercise. There are special devices on the market to aid in toning this muscle. Ask your medical practitioner where to find one.

SEMEN RETENTION MEDITATION

Now that you are relaxed, mind and body, carefully read the following. Begin your meditation by addressing your whole body for five minutes or so with a very sensual massage. Then proceed to the inner thighs and pubic area, arousing greater sexual energy, and to the scrotum massaging the testes, allowing for an erection to begin to form, before light fingertip touching of the Lingam. Slowly begin to stroke the Lingam, arousing more and more energy, and place the opposite hand on Chakras two through seven moving up slowly and breathing in the respective colors.

Do not be alarmed if the energy seems to wane in the root as you focus up. This is actually a good sign meaning the energy is going upward, and once the circuit is complete, the sexual surge will come back full blast. This is true for females as well. Feel the clockwise swirl of the vibrant colors. The hand at the Lingam sends energy to the hand at the higher Chakras creating a strengthened channel through the use of Polarity. More will be said about this in the Polarity Therapy section.

Spend twenty minutes or more stroking the Lingam, bringing yourself close to ejaculation several times before using the Million Dollar point technique for semen retention. Some techniques you can use to dampen the energy if you feel you are getting too close to ejaculation are: squeeze firmly and bend downward the tip of the Lingam with the thumb and two fingers, or grasp up high around the sack of the scrotum and gently stretch the testes downward. You can use both techniques simultaneously. Pressing on the Million Dollar point can also help.

Experiment. Try not to go passed the point of no return before you are ready, but if you do, relish in the climax, and use this as a learning experience continuing with the practices in your next meditation.

Starting out it is best to only bring yourself to orgasm in one out of two or three meditations. You want to increase your capacity to build and retain energy without the orgasmic release. This will lead to having multiple orgasms once you feel yourself practicing semen retention proficiently. At the forth or fifth point of nearing ejaculation, press firmly, one finger behind the other, on the Million Dollar point. Breathe in slowly, drawing the energy up, squeezing your PC muscle and anal muscles, allowing the energy to stream upward through the heart and crown Chakra.

Once the energy reaches the heart Chakra the ascent to the crown is easier. Relax on the exhale, expanding your energy field. Continue with complete breaths, still pressing firmly on the Million Dollar point for another sixty seconds or so, then release slowly. Do not be concerned if some of the semen seeps out. It takes time to really get the hang of the internal draw. This practice may feel strange at first, but as you continue it will feel most natural, especially when the internal draw becomes flowing and complete. Be sure not to be pressing too far forward because a bladder infection could result from sending a lot of semen into the bladder. You may wish to ejaculate occasionally. If you have been using the internal draw and do ejaculate some, what comes out is more waste material than the vitamin rich, lifefull substance. It is not necessary to ejaculate at all.

Do not use these practices as a method of birth control unless you have years of proficiency. Trust your internal messages as you begin to make these practices a part of you.

CLOSURE

Bathe in the wonderful sensations you have released through your body. Take some complete breaths sighing on the exhale. Rise slowly, stretch, and rinse your hands to neutralize the energy. As you rearrange the room, check in with yourself. Do you feel more or less energetic than usual? If you feel more energetic, take a walk, or do something that requires movement, and if you are just feeling blissfully relaxed, a warm bath or a video might be more appropriate. Treat yourself to doing whatever is most in line with how you are feeling.
