Using Sexual Power to Create

Written by Shaman Nabeel Redwood

There were a few years when I chose to be celibate for a while to decompress. During this time I was doing my kundalini every day, along with my yoni egg rituals. I realized, at that time that my creativity levels were very high. This is when my beauty range was born, and I started writing my book Whole Beauty. Creativity is like a river that can flow, or be blocked by stagnation.

Sexual energy to me can be water in a river. When we use that sexual drive, we can steer our car toward goals. Yes, being in oneness with a lover is one of the most important ways to use this energy, and what we all long for. I feel, however, that until we reach the summit of holy union through the exchange of sex, we must examine the platforms and doctrines for ourselves. I feel that since we are given permission to have fun, we should strive for something deeper, so that fun is not discarded like everything else in this mecca of instant media.

I was deeply moved by this article by Nabeel Redwood. It explains everything I hear very well. Thanks to the amazing sites out there like New World Native that provide amazing information and wisdom. The links are below. . .

Shamans teach us that our sexual energy and our creative energy are the same. They understand that the power of sex that we have to create life itself is a small part of the great power of the Holy Spirit to manifest all life. The energy that creates us, also flows through us, so that we can create with it.

But this sexual energy is not only used to make children, but also to give birth to any goal you want to manifest. The difficulty lies in knowing how to best channel this energy to specific goals. Our creative power is always active, but since most of us don’t use it consciously, we inadvertently reflect negative realities. If our creative energy is not properly directed in the right direction, it will flow in any direction, pulling our lives off course.

In the last two thousand years, sexuality has become a taboo subject. The major religions have denigrated sex as carnal, shameful, and inferior. Because of this, many generations of humanity grew up with repressed sexual desires that erupted in unhealthy and destructive ways. Only in the last fifty years, have we turned in the other direction: to liberating sexuality and hedonism. And while this release was exciting for a while, we now find ourselves on the other side of the spectrum. In our modern culture, we are oversaturated with sexual energy. Sex has been made to sell products; sex has been made into something inappropriate.

But indulgence in sex is not better than abstinence from it – or a useful or productive mode of sexual energy. Shamans give us another way.

Shamans were not celibate priests – although many lived as hermits, many others had partners and families. However, the shamans understood the importance of deliberately conserving sexual energy in order to maintain strength. When preparing for a particularly difficult task, shamans would not engage in sex or masturbate to build up their creative energy, they would release it at the climax of a ritual designed to channel that energy to a specific end.

Similarly, we can also follow this method to show larger goals. Instead of wasting your sexual energy carelessly, you can save it and release it with a purpose to express what you desire.

Shamans were not morally holy, and they encouraged people to enjoy the pleasures of life, including sex. However, they warned that when we have sex, we exchange energy with each other. If that partner only takes away our sexual energy without giving us intimacy, then eventually we will feel tired. When our sexual energy is depleted, we will lack the ability to create or manifest our goals. So shamans don’t necessarily avoid promiscuous behavior, but they insist that every partner who sleeps with them must return the energy that is close to them. So you have to understand which partners you decide to give that power to, and what you don’t give them.

Tantric yogis take this teaching even further, revealing that we can direct our sexual energy upward by using the central channel of our body, raising our consciousness to higher levels of fullness. When the sexual energy resides in the lower chakras, we succumb to the desires of the flesh. But when we channel this energy upwards, the sexual energy is channeled into our higher chakras which rule our heart, mind and spirit.

So if you are stuck, can’t achieve your goals, and feel tired, consider a period of intentional celibacy to conserve energy in your sacral chakra. Release that energy after two to four weeks during a practice aimed at calling out your goals. And if you feel you have balanced your sexual energy so that you can fully love and feel intimacy without feeling tired or dependent, consider working with kundalini techniques that will direct your sexual energy up your central channel towards higher, deeper goals.

If we denigrate sex as a shame, we only suppress our true nature, causing suffering. If we overindulge in sex for pleasure, we only destroy our true nature, causing suffering. Only when we use our sexual energy carefully, not only for pleasure but with fullness, can we make the most of the creative, sexual energy.
