What ways do you transmute sexual energy?

[Chi Boy]

I've started cultivating jing theough meditation and it feels almost as if I'm in a constsnt stste of contemplation and meditation. I used to operate in a cerebral realm and now my natural breath flows throuh my enriching me with greater purpose.

 

I'm on my 5th day without ejaculation and this also happens to be a day of fasting. I am taking some time to enjoy my body, mind, and energy, without filling it with foreign substances other than water.

 

What are you guys' thoughts on this? I'm sure the answers will come through meditation, I just wanted to gove you guys an update of what's been going on with me.

 

Cheers.

.....THIS is absolutely necessary for what reason?

[misterziegler]

Yeah im seeing that eating often causes me tiredness and or fatigue. after fasting i have regained control of my appetite and can control my portions. Deviating, i will eat larger portions and more often, sometimes 8-9 times a day, and as a crutch, and it becomes gluttonous, before i know it i am back to feeling fatigued and out of energy, for my body is now spending much of its energy on digestion. I am highly active and only weigh 130 lbs, and so i can do it very easily if i wish. however after a 36 hour fast ive learned what wonders it holds in store for me. It basically lifts this invisible vail to the doors back into my alert mind, and peaceful mental space.

 

the feeling i get from eating sometimes though, It has a lot to do with the food choice i have, i eat probably 1/4 organic, 1/4 non organic produce, and the rest is breads/ canned stuff because i am piss broke at the moment climbing out of a financial hole i put myself in during my drug abuse days. I am glad to say i am climbing out of it now and will soon have the $ i need to eat right again. And before too long maybe a year i plan to stop being a wage slave altogether, its a necessity at the moment or else ill lose my means of survival and abode.

 

As for as managing my sexual energy, since joining dao bums and reading an old post, then creating this new thread on transmutation of sexual or creative energy, i have learned to handle and control it for two weeks at a time before giving in.

 

Ive learned several forms of meditation ive been practicing for months now, and it all helps. My self discipline is progressing at a rate that is desireable to me now and i give myself the occasionaly break and thankyou.

 

As all things natural, change is gradual. And going from everyday down to once every 2 weeks is sure sign of progress. I am still 24 yet and its quite like a surge of water bursting from the bare earth when i really wander into that sexual realm, and suddenly everything changes and theres no going back. its what you do with it that counts. i plan to paint, to draw, to write with it. ive already let it just course through myself, and meditated on it, and it puts a different dynamic on the meditational journey altogether.

Good progress misterziegler. Do at least 45 min daily of the concentration staff I posted and you will be able to go months instead of 2 weeks with ease. I was in a similar situation before I started. I try to do at least 1h daily; does wonders .... and if you have been cerlibate for 2-3 months you are already in 100%. Its only a matter of having discipline at that point.

I believe celibacy actually harnesses an energy that is feminine in a way. When you think about it, women are the more magnetic sex, in terms of being able to draw the opposite gender to her. But I think a chaste man develops his own form of this energy, and women absolutely can sense it because all of his actions and mannerisms are affected involuntarily. It allows you as a man to remain confident in your masculine energy at a level that surpasses anything else, but you have to be disciplined. It's very easy to fall into autoerotic behaviors and even subtle things like those can leak the energy, like a car battery jumpstarting another vehicle. 

 

The normal path is for young men, who naturally possess both more yin and chi energy, to become more yang over time as they become men. That's fine but I believe there is a twilight zone where a man can decide what kind of man he wishes to be, whether it's a man who proves his might with his muscle or ability to dominate others, or a man who still fights with his mind and his spirit when all else has faded. America has 170 lb gym bodybuilder men who are finding their definition of masculinity that way. Go to the Congo and you will find 100 lb malnourished men still providing for their families, and the definition of man changes.

 

I know good men who still masturbate and watch porn and I don't judge them for it. But I am seeking something very deep and I feel that this path will allow me to find it.

Wow....some people nowadays are beyond my imagination

Is that a good thing? I really do believe the celibacy helps channel chi, which women naturally have more of. Reason being, you're containing an energy that is manifested inward rather than expended outward. Instead of your dick being the thing doing the acting it's your mind and your spirit lol, if that makes sense

Another useful technique. 

 

 

I've been toying around with this technique for celibacy and conserving sexual energy lately and wanted to share it with the group.

 

In animistic cosmologies there is a principle that every thing in existence is alive and has it's own spirit and power. In shamanic traditions there is the practice of "talking" to trees, plants, stones, rivers....etc. The body is no different and you can communicate with it.

 

Talk to your Microcosmic Orbit and ask it to pull all sexually hot/stimulated energy that gathers in the groin into the MCO until further notice. This technique keeps sexually energy from leaking throughout your day and allows you to put your drives to the side to a large degree. It becomes an automatic process for the MCO to recycle that stimulated energy and requires no active intent on your part. Ofcourse you can tell the MCO to disengage this activity at any time according to circumstances in which this method may not be beneficial. Hope this is helpful to many. Cheers.

Thanks. As someone else said, I think the truth is that if you let yourself even get to the arousal state, not to mention "helping it out", you're already kind of screwed. Not completely, but i think any guy can tell you the cycle is easier to avoid in the first place than to stop once you're already in it. And if you go through with it, it's just another expense on your whole system, because the seed / essence that was lost has to be replenished. 

 

I think the damaging effects are more subtle than that though, you lose that mental agility and "fire" that seems common in young men but dwindles (usually) with time. That's absolutely not what has to happen though, and usually it's due to waste of jing.
