Sex is often seen in terms of control or liberation, both of which become problematic when taken to an extreme. Trying too much to repress sexual desire leads to sex energy unduly affecting the rest of your life. This in turn tends to result in extreme behaviors like overeating, rushing, impatience, chattering without thinking, and, in general, a volatility or a certainty in relation to subjects that require, not passion, but balance, generosity, and considered thought. Sexual promiscuity on the other hand tends to lead to a kind of emotional apathy in relation to other important aspects of your life. The passion for enlightenment—as well as for other pursuits like art, friendship, family, and work—are used up in the pursuit of pleasure.

Sex and sex energy generally play a large part in our sense of who we are. Our feeling of identity is largely dictated to us, not by our daily, commonplace moments, but by our most passionate experiences. Intense experiences, sexual or otherwise, force us into ourselves in ways that other, more humdrum experiences cannot. They force us to think and feel at a level that either exhilarates or frightens us. Join us as we dwell in to the chakras, kundalini, tantra, and sexual energy that surrounds you everyday.
