How can I use tantric yoga to improve my sex life?

 

Dr. Eva Cwynar answered:

Certain forms of yoga believe that sexual experience is a means to enlightenment. Tantric yoga maintains that there is an enormous energy locked into sexuality, which, if released from the lower end of the spine, can flow up the spinal column to bring divine illumination to the brain. Sexual energy is considered the most concentrated form of biochemical energy in the human body. Here is an example of one exercise that is designed specifically to raise sexual energy:

1. Kneel on the floor, then sit back on your heels with your back straight.
2. Stretch your arms straight up so that your upper arms are hugging your ears. Clasp your hands together and interlace your fingers, except for the index finger of each hand. The index fingers are pointed straight up and pressed together.
3. Speak the word "sat" as you pull your naval up and in toward your spine. Also contract your rectum and sex organ. Let out your breath and relax your muscles as you say the word "nam". Continue this repetition for at least three minutes, then inhale and squeeze the muscles tightly from the buttocks all the way up the back, past the shoulders. When you are done, lie on your back and rest for several minutes.
