Sex
Sex, in contrast to "making love", is that sparking friction between partners, usually without deep involvement of emotion and spirit. To have sex can be described as "getting off", for some it is best accomplished with a stranger. Without a history or pattern of interaction and no deep knowledge of identity, bodies can just dance. Without heart involvement, some people feel superficially safe as the heart cannot be broken if it is not involved. Sex versus "making love" is not the only distinction made around the act of intercourse. Religious repression of sex for pleasure (any sex act with no intent to procreate) is ancient and enduring, just as enduring as humanity's stubborn refusal to give up sex for fun. In any 24-hour period, over 200 million couples are having sex. That's over 2,000 separate acts of sex in any given moment.

| In the Tantric tradition, the second chakra (energy center) is the sex chakra, right above the first chakra, the creation zone of life itself. When a new life forms, the very first act of a healthy organism is to replicate, to have sex. Without replication, there is no story. All life would end if it couldn't replicate and had only one life cycle. So, sex energy is strong and vital, and nearly as necessary as air, food and water. When working with your energy body, your sense of self, your emotions, your ability to speak your truth, and your spiritual connection all depend on a healthy flow of life force or "sex" energy. Acknowledge the strength and worth of your sexuality and begin to work with it as a primary creative force in your life. Share it with love and wondrous things can happen. |
