The following method is a simple yet highly functional way of converting sexual or reproductive energy into a powerful vital force for the entire body. In addition to having tremendous health benefits, this practice will also strengthen inner power development and will give you a more practical application to use this energy as opposed to wasting it on lustful indulgences outside of serious loving relationships, i.e. cheating and/or masturbation. The reproductive energy is a powerful creative force that may be taken up in the body and transmuted into strength, health and vitality for the purpose of regenerating and invigorating the system instead of wasting it with no intention to produce a child.
The transmutation or conversion of sexual energy gives great vitality to those practicing this method. It results in tremendous inner power, which can outwardly manifest as irresistible charm, personal magnetism and charisma in your everyday life. The practice itself is simple and effective. The energy once converted can be directed towards other channels or objectives and utilized with great advantage by the practitioner. Nature has condensed one of its most powerful forms of Chi (The power to create) into reproductive energy. Placing tremendous power in a small space, as the reproductive battery and urge to procreate is strong in all animal life.
This exercise may be performed at any time, but is best when one feels sexual urges or impulses, which are indications of active sexual force.
To begin, sit in a chair (breath deep with an even in and out rhythm) and build the sensation of an energy ball between your palms. Once you feel the chi between your hands, point them at your sex organs and breathe the chi into the sex center. Smile as you perform this exercise. Inhale with a sense of enjoying or savoring, mentally making the “Mmmmm” sound. Exhale with a sense of excitement, mentally saying “WOW”. As you feel the energy build, begin to pull or draw it upwards during the inhalation or in breath to your “Solar Plexus” or upper stomach. You can use your hands to pull it up towards this center (located just above the navel). With practice, you will feel the internal movement of energy moving up from the sex organs to the 3rd chakra or solar plexus.
Other energy centers can be vitalized with this method as well. For example, if you desire an increase in mental force, you can draw the sexual energy up to the forehead. If you desire improved communication ability, you would draw the energy up to the throat. Bringing the sexual energy to the heart makes one fearless and compassionate. For a short time, it may make you feel emotionally sensitive and quick to tears as your feelings of love and caring for others are dramatically enhanced.
