I've been doing this as well, I do feel that it draws toxins out of the gums. I use coconut oil and put a few drops of cinnamon bark essential oil in for extra kick.

I'd highly recommend these two books to anyone interested in the shift that's happening in science towards understanding the relationship between consciousness and the brain: Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century http://www.amazon.com/Irreducible-Mind-Toward-Psychology-Century/dp/1442202068 And the follow up book by the same authors: Beyond Physicalism: Toward Reconciliation of Science and Spirituality http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Physicalism-Reconciliation-Science-Spirituality/dp/1442232382/

I feel there is evidence to suggest a relationship between chi/subtle energies and light, heat, and the standard electromagnetic spectrum. There are a lot of anecdotes of electrical equipment malfunctions around people who have kundalini awakenings. There are the stories of yogis who can dry wet cloths on their bodies outside in the middle of the winter. Also the subjective experiences of inner light which can sometimes be exteriorized so that outside observers can see it ie: the rainbow body and halos. Personally I feel a sensation of increased subtle energy post sauna. Hard to say if its the heat of the sauna directly causing it though. I've also been experimenting with a Tesla Violet Ray recently. I feel that it also does have subtle energy effects. It's interesting that Edgar Cayce mentioned it in so many readings: "One individual asked if “the yoga practice of Kriya [is] causing any ill effects”; she was told that “this is very well…for these exercises have a stimulating effect. However, do not use these during the period the Violet Ray is used, for that week!” (813-2) ... In another reading cayce seemed to equate electricity with the life force itself: “Then…have a stimuli of the very low form of electrical forces, or added life as it were.” http://www.cayce.com/violet_ray_true_health.html

Not sure about the masturbation factor.. but you might want to try A2 milk if you can find it. I had been unable to drink cow's milk for years. I had believed that it was due to lactose intolerance but then even lactose free milk started bothering me. I've always been able to eat sheep's feta and drink goat's milk though, both which contain lactose. Turns out all milk including human has the A2 protein variant. Modern dairy cows have been chosen for high yield and this inadvertently selected for the novel A1 protein form. Apparently it can be quite inflammatory even if you feel like you are tolerating it. These days I can drink A2 milk.. till the cows come home . I do find that it has a beneficial effect on my energetic practices. http://fedup.com.au/factsheets/additive-and-natural-chemical-factsheets/a2-milk

Hello, I sort of got drawn into this world a couple of years ago through a Kundalini Awakening. Been trying to learn more in order to make sense of things. Interested primarily in Esotericism, Tantra and Alchemy.
