SEX-I had to repost
Sex: Your Power Source
Everyone ought to be having more sex. And better sex.
Sexual
energy is your super fuel. It is a vastly underused resource that you
can tap into to boost your physical and emotional vitality, mental
clarity and spiritual well-being.
If you are like me, you take superfoods like acai, goji berries and maca; you do yoga and meditate. And you include frequent sex as an essential part of a healthy, conscious lifestyle.
On
a physical level, people who have regular sex keep their hormones and
neurotransmitters flowing optimally; meaning, your brain releases all
sorts of feel-good chemicals that make life’s challenges seem much
easier to conquer.
The ascent to orgasm
releases dopamine: the cocaine high. This motivates you to achieve in
the world and induces feelings of strength and confidence. We are
flooded with oxytocin at orgasm, which helps you to feel more sociable
and strengthens not only your bond with your partner, but opens you to
forging deeper relationships with the other people in your life. Plus,
oxytocin reduces cortisol, the major stress hormone.
When
you are sexually active, you radiate higher levels of pheromones,
making you even more attractive to the opposite sex. It’s my favorite
kind of perfume.
If you need to clear your mind, you can meditate or have sex. Or both. Studies have shown
that orgasm and meditation light up the same brain centers and shut off
our “chatter mind.” You’ll return to work with more vigor and creativity.
Not
only does sex make you more beautiful, calmer and smarter, it is one of
the most important ways to stay connected with yourself and your lover.
And when your intimate relationship is thriving, it feeds all the other
parts of your life.
Like anything, there are
junk-food versions and gourmet-versions of sex. The kind of sex that is
most transformative and energizing involves getting emotionally and
physically naked.
We all need a place to rest
and remove the armor we wear in the world, our day-to-day lives, and to
recharge. Few people know that their intimate relationship is one of
the best and fastest places to do this.
A key
ingredient for this kind of alchemy is honesty. Revealing your deepest
thoughts, feelings and fantasies is the foundation of life-changing
intimacy. Instead of hiding these things for fear of not looking good,
it becomes empowering to own and share them.
Says Marianne Williamson: “Our deepest need is to be seen.”
When
you have a place in your life you can do this, you’ll feel the benefits
everywhere: in your work, friendships and family. You’ll show up more
fully. Your intimate life will help to self-actualize you.
One
of my most pivotal relationships taught me the power of surrender. Of
totally lowering my guard and being seen. My partner and I had an
agreement to show all of our strengths and weaknesses to each other. By
throwing them into the alchemical cauldron of sexual love, they turned
to gold.
The more I learned how to be
vulnerable in my relationship, the stronger I got in my outer life. I
had a place to relax, open and soften. This rejuvenated me and gave me
strength. I became more confident in my work, as a woman and in myself
in general.
Men need this just as much as women: a place to let go of everything and be cherished for the essence of who you are.
When
you activate this power of surrender on and emotional and sexual level,
the impact on your entire life is huge. You feel fulfilled, revitalized
and capable of giving love with ease and grace to all you meet. You tap
into the divine flow of life, via the microcosm of your flow with each
other.
Next time you feel too tired to have
sex, remind yourself that sexual energy is your superfood, nuclear power
and means to spiritually uplift yourself.
Now go get some.
