Lesson 236: Sex, as a trantra...

“Sex, as tantra, has been misunderstood by many of you. It is not technique or position, or even breathing. It is allowing yourself to experience Oneness, with another. This can happen in so many ways.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about sex being complete for us. Is there something you look for in sex that isn’t about Oneness? What is it?

As I said in yesterday’s post, I don’t know that I have experienced true connection in sex. I think it can be a beautiful experience given that it’s with the right person and it allows you to expand with that person.

I think my own experiences there have been times of passion and lust. I personally have felt used by others and felt physically ill after sex because I think I shouldn’t have given myself away so easily. I think as I’m on this spiritual path, I definitely want someone I can have true connection with. From here, sex allows to have that Oneness with that person.

FYI I am no knocking anyone who has sex for pure enjoyment, fun or passion. Based on these lessons, I’m seeing that it can be so much more – connection, Oneness, energy combined. We should all have the experience of One if we are open to it. I believe it would take connection to another level of understanding.

Lesson 235: The Heart of Connection...

“The heart of connection, of knowing oneself as one of One, opens easily in sex. This is because sex is Divine union of physical, Divine union of energetic. This is the purpose of sex: Oneness.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think Oneness in sex and if it’s something you feel during this union. If you don’t, why not? Is there something holding you back?

I personally have never thought about Oneness with sex. I also feel that I haven’t met someone to have that type of true connection with. I think it could be an amazing experience by allowing Oneness to just be. I think this is something I am aware of now. I find that in a past relationship, there was definitely passion and love to a certain point, though I don’t believe I experienced Oneness in energetic Divine union. I think this might actually be achieved by people you deem as soul mates or you have solid connection with. I have found in my experience that a lot of straight men are quite transactional where I live – I am not judging by the way. I find that they just want to have sex and move onto the next, which does not allow for true connection.

The environment in which I live makes it challenging for someone like me wanting to establish a connection because everything is so casual. I’m definitely not losing hope! It will happen when it’s supposed to. And, when it happens, I might actually get a chance to experience this Oneness.
