Sexual energy is our creative and vital life force energy. The health of
our internal organs is a direct reflection of the potency of our sexual
chi. This is why cultivating our sexual energy is so vital for our
mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. All indigenous people
had sacred sexual practices; however, the most well known are the Taoist
practices from China and Tantra from India. Both have divine feminine
roots. They ascend from the darkness. It is impossible to separate
sacred sexuality and the Goddess. Throughout many ancient traditions you
will find the serpent, the bird and the egg. The egg and the serpent
are symbols of female sexual energy, (re)birth, resurrection, and the
divine feminine circular eggs and spiritual spirals of the Goddess.
It is in the lower self where the kundalini serpent (jing)
resides. The kundalini serpent wraps around the cosmic egg and devours
it. The egg arouses the serpent to replicate in two and uncoil up the
tree of life (our spine) up into our pineal gland (third eye) which
leads us to higher levels of enlightenment. We can also bring it up to
the crown chakra so it may combine with “shen” our spiritual energy and
can then be brought down to our womb space (right under our navel) and
stored as chi (our vital life force energy).
The divine twin
serpents represent the unity of two. The twin serpents represent duality
and the double helix of DNA. Hence, we see on the symbol used by the
medical community, the dual serpent rising up the spine where it is
joined by wings. This symbol represents healing. From the elevation of
the twin serpents, comes the all seeing bird that flies high. The
snake(s) inform the Goddess of the underworld. The Bird informs the
Goddess of the Upper world. Don’t underestimate the lower chakras or the
flesh. Heat rises. So the power and enlightenment in the crown is
depending on its foundation. The foundation feeds the crown.
If
we look throughout the world, nudity, owls, cats, snakes, darkness,
menstrual blood and sexuality are considered to be “evil”. People are
afraid of the dark side. This fear has been embedded in the vaginal
walls, wombs, breasts and minds of women all over the world. Many women
verbally and violently express extreme hate for their menstrual cycles
and will go to great lengths to not have one. Many women speak so
negatively about our moon cycles and have never been introduced to the
powers inherent in our moon time (menstrual) blood. During our menstrual
cycles that is when we are the closest to spirit. It should always be a
time of retreat, relaxation, meditation, creation and destruction. It
is time for us to divine and receive divine messages from the Goddesses
and our ancestors. It is a time for us to conduct rituals with other
women who are close to us who are also bleeding at the same time. Our
moon time is our most powerful tome, spiritually. This is the reason why
a menopausal woman becomes wiser. She maintains her wise red fluid
inside of her, to only be transformed into deeper layers of wisdom.
Women should not be experiencing super long or super heavy menstrual
flows or be in excruciating pain. If we do feel these things it is
symbolic of something highly toxic in our diet and/or life. It is also
linked to past traumatic issues and weak vaginal muscles.
In the
powerful book, “The Great Cosmic Mother – Rediscovering the Religion of
the Earth”, authors Monica Sjoo and Barbara Mor write,
“ The
biblical myth of Eve and Adam and their expulsion from the Garden of
Eden is another tale of the separation of the female from the male, at
Yahweh’s command. According to Hebrew and Christian teachings, Eve-the
“first woman” –is the cause of the “fall” of humanity from paradise into
earthly suffering. She is the source of the “Original Sin”.
In
Genesis all recognizable elements of the much more ancient Mother
Goddess myth, symbol, and ritual are present. Here is the Garden of the
Goddess and her wise cosmic serpent, the tree of knowledge with its dark
soma fruit, the fig of the Cretan Goddess-which became, for Westerners,
the magic apple of the European “White Goddess.” Here also is a strong
trace of Near Eastern creation mythology, which tells how the Great
Mother shaped the first human beings from earth dust and her own saliva
and breathed her breath of life into them. Eve means “life”, and Eve is
called the Mother –of-All-Living. Adam means “son of the red Mother
Earth.” These legends, these creation myths, go back thousands of years
before the Hebrew patriarchs wrote the Bible.
But in Genesis, it
is a Father God who creates all life. And the first woman is born from a
man’s body. A very interesting biological reversal! In this opening
book of the Bible, this historic-political ideology of the patriarchs is
clearly stated: The new male God forbids Adam and Eve to participate in
the sacred mystery rites of the Great Goddess. They may not eat of her
fruit and gain transcendent knowledge. Of course, Eve, who was the
priestess of the Goddess, disobeyed Yahweh’s command. She tries, with
the magic aid of her serpent, to persuade Adam to partake with her the
narcotic fruit and sexual rites leading to ecstatic illumination and
rebirth in the Goddess’s Garden of Immortality. And this is “Original
Sin” in the established doctrines of the Hebrew and Christian religions.
Lilth, in Hebrew legend, was the rebellious woman created before Eve.
She was portrayed as part snake and wearing wings-“the winding serpent
who was Lilith”-and was blamed by Yahweh for having tempted Eve to
reveal and initiate Adam into the mysteries of the garden. Lilith
represented the ancient Canaanite worship of Astarte-Asherah, and also
Ishtar of Babylon. Her relation to the very old Snake-and Bird Goddess
is obvious, and her rebellious naughty mysteries were those of yoga, of
kundalini and spinal illumination (mysteries and techniques indigenous
to the Near East, as well as to Europe and India, until the Hebrew
patriarchs set out to censor them). Far into medieval European Christian
imagery, the serpent in paradise is pictured with a woman’s head and
breasts.
Significantly, Eve’s punishment for her “sin” consists
of patriarchal marriage. Her desire must be only for her husband, she
must leave her Garden and follow him over the barren male-ordered earth,
condemned to unwanted pregnancies and painful childbirth. In other
words, patrilocal marriage, in which she is isolated from her women’s
collective and deprived of her ancient knowledge of herbal contraception
and narcotics used for painless labor. She is no longer priestess and
midwife to the Goddess. She will now bear children bitterly and they
will “belong” to the man. She must also passively male love to Adam on
her back, he enacting as the male Sky Father over her meek female Earth.
She must play the role of “corrupt matter” chained to a husband forever
striving to “free” his immortal spirit from her.”
The Goddess
and her Garden are more ancient than the bible. The Goddess and her
abundance of succulent fruit (symbols of female sex organs) was turned
into the “evil temptress.” The world’s main religions, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, guided by patriarchal ideology, are highly
responsible for drilling the idea that sex and sexual desire is sinful
into the minds and laws of practically every nation of people. To deny
your lower chakras is to deny your roots. It is to disconnect from your
source of life. It is to cut off your divine connection to your mother,
the darkness, the divine feminine. Sexuality is certainly divine. Sexual
energy is spiritual energy and the flesh is sacred. To deny our
physical flesh and deep, dark center is to deny ourselves. The laws of
physics demonstrate that the farther we are away from our center the
more off balance we become. In order to remain balanced as we walk
across the tight rope called “life”, we must connect to and strengthen
our center. That is where we access the truth, our ancestors and our
strength. It is vitally important for all of the muscles in our body to
be strong and tight. Despite this fact, most people do not think of
strengthening the muscles that support their reproductive organs. Pelvic
Prolapse is a condition in which one’s internal organs begin to sag and
fall down into the pelvic and urogenital diaphragms. While this
complication occurs in both men and women, this article will focus on
women. Pelvic Prolapse is a serious condition that can cause pain during
sexual intercourse, problems urinating, chronic constipation, back pain
and tissue bulging through the vagina. Becoming a common occurrence in
much of the world. Giving birth vaginally takes incredible strength and
coordination of all of the core muscles. It is important for women to
know that they are able to give birth vaginally to all of their children
without having this situation occur. However, just as an athlete trains
before competing, it is important for women to train for giving birth.
It is important to note that women who have not given birth can also
develop this condition if they do not put in any work to strengthen
those muscles. Over time, all muscles weaken and atrophy if stress is
not put on them.
Many women have heard of Kegel exercises but that
is analogous to doing bicep curls with the air. In order to for our
muscles strong and tight, we must put stress on them. There is a long
documented legacy of vaginal strength training and vaginal weightlifting
in ancient China. The royal women in China used a Jade Egg several
thousand years ago as a way to strengthen and control their vaginal
muscles. Remember, it is one thing to have strong muscles and another
thing to have superb control over them. The Jade Egg is an egg made from
the Jade stone. It works by inserting it into our vaginal canal and
learning to manipulate it in a variety of ways. We can eventually learn
to pull the egg up and down, side to side, squeeze it, twirl it, flip
it, and everything in between. Our vaginal canal is one huge muscle so
over time, the use of the Jade Egg makes our vaginal walls wetter,
thicker, stronger and tighter. The added benefit is the fact that
manipulating, squeezing, tugging and focusing on the Jade Egg enables us
let the egg increases our sensitivity and transforms negative energy.
All of these intense, focused contractions build a lot of sexual energy
our clitoral and genital region. Thus, it is analogous to starting a
fire. It causes our libido to rise and so will the intensity of our
orgasms. As women, it is vital to have frequent and deeply intense
orgasms because it helps us to increase our estrogen and shorten our
menstrual cycle. The more that we are in a moist, aroused state, the
more enjoyable our menstrual cycle becomes. Another added benefit is
being able to hypnotize your partner with your vaginal dexterity. During
sexual interactions your partner can certainly feel the contractions
and it is extremely also pleasurable for him (or her).
Jade is
believed to stimulate white blood cells. Jade opens up the heart chakra
to love energy. Jade is a good luck stone that helps facilitate
prosperity, deep wisdom, compassion, peace, balancing of male and female
energies, courage, wisdom, justice, stamina, love, fidelity, humility,
generosity. It is associated with the astrological signs of Libra,
Aries, Gemini and Taurus and it vibrates to the number eleven. The
element associated with Jade is water. In all of the sacred sexual
practices I have studied, female sexual energy is considered to be water
and male sexual energy is fire. This is why it is so important for
women to orgasm often and to be wet often. It is not in anyone’s best
interest to let the rivers run dry. Female sexual energy is associated
with water because it takes a little bit of time to get to its boiling
point. Work must be put in to make the molecules go crazy and thus turn
into vapor. Male sexual energy is analogous to fire because it is quick
to get hot and quick to burn out. Since men are visual creatures they
can get incredibly aroused just at the sight of someone they find
attractive. But it makes sense because men are programmed to spread
their seed and women are programmed to be selective.
Black Jade
enhances expressiveness, intelligence and perception. It is thought to
be a magic stone by the Mayan and Aztec cultures. It is used to treat
disorders of the Reproductive Organs. Many women store trauma in their
womb space and their vaginal canal. It is important for women to heal
these issues before giving birth, because the baby will grow in the womb
and come into the world via the vaginal canal. The new born baby can
then pick up all sorts of imbalances and trauma that the mother never
dealt with. The Jade Egg also helps to calm the nerves because it
stimulates all of the reflexology points in the vagina, which in turn
help to balance the meridians associated with all of the body’s organs.
And my favorite thing about the Jade Egg is that it makes a woman more
sensitive and more orgasmic. Women have more than one G-spot. We have
many, and you will discover them once you start working with the ancient
cosmic egg.
