This subject of sexual energy kind of fits into the category of 'taboo' subjects. I can appreciate that the ancient yogic teachings mention the preserving of the semen; as it does take a considerable amount of energy to produce. However, back when these teachings came about almost all of those attaining advanced states of consciousness were monks and had taken vows of celibacy. Many even lived in caves. In the modern world couples will also have the possibility of enlightenment and this comes from utilizing the sexual energy in the optimum way for them. After spending years learning from two of the greatest Yogic Masters, Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Satchidananda, my personal opinion is that the middle way or balanced way is always optimum. Sex is one of the most powerful expressions of your biology,and the most personally empowering aspect of sex is the orgasmic experience. Making love is a boost to your immune system; endorphins are released during orgasm, providing relief from pain, stress, and tension. Love and a happy sex life go hand in hand with vibrant health and a longer life. The Pleiadians have a beautiful comment, "Sexuality connects you with the frequency of ecstasy; which connects you back to your Divine Source and to information. The electromagnetic effect of orgasm also fires inner codes. In ancient times couples could take this energy out the higher chakras to explore other worlds." What needs to be understood is differentiating between sex and love, combining the two and channeling the energy up to your higher chakras. Not to make judgment concerning indiscriminate casual sex; but the fact is that when you engage in sex you exchange frequency. There is a hormonal release inside the body. The hormones awaken certain energies inside the cells, and there is a transference of one person's essence with the other person. That is why when you have had sexual experiences with someone you sometimes cannot get their energy off you. Even though you don't want to be with the person, the sexual experience  stays with you because you have had an electromagnetic exchange. The important point here is that in order for your system to operate properly, for your circuitry to open, there must be emotional feelings for that person. So without being judgmental about the act of promiscuity, the fact is that it is really non productive in terms of your spiritual growth. And further you just spend your energy out through your second chakra and can't have the amazing experiences that love and sex together can create. In my opinion, that is why pornography has become so popular in today's society; to channel attention in a non-spiritual direction. I have heard this also communicated from extra-terrestrials, that perverted sexual energy is one of the main problems in the world today.  So, my advice is if you are going to have sex, married or not, do so with someone you have emotional feelings for and learn to channel the energy up and out through your crown chakra. Then you not only have the sexual experience but also aid in your spiritual journey. When you make love, whether it is with a partner or through self pleasuring, you always have an impact on your soul. Your soul is connected directly to your genital area through the genital/soul tantric channel. From the Pleiadian Tantric Workbook,by Amorah Quan Yin,"The  sexual energy is intended to be activated by love and adoration for the female. This triggers a flow of his soul energy down into his penis via this same channel and out to her genital area. In other words, their energy flows form a circular flow. From his soul to his penis, from his penis to her vagina, from her G-spot inside her vagina through her womb and upward to her soul, which expands and sends love out to his soul, then downward through his genital/soul channel out through his penis and back to her again. In a world where lust after the body has taken precedence over love and adoration, these channels often become blocked. When this happens, your experience of connectedness to your own soul essence and love is stifled, eventually blocked altogether, and at worst your soul is deeply damaged." "Things have been manipulated and givens a boundary of limitation so that the truth of sexuality has been kept from you. You have been told that you can procreate with it and have orgasms, but you have not been told that you can open frequencies with it. You can come into contact and use it as a method of remembering who you are and altering the vibrational frequency of your body." I highly recommend 'Dolphin Tantra' as taught by the Pleiadians through Amorah. In fact the Dolphins are actually extra-terrestrial. They use 100% of their brain and Alex Collier has even stated that, according to the Andromedans, humanity will lose all standing in the Universe if we continue to abuse and eliminate this species. From the Tantric Workbook, " Dolphins were sent to Earth prior to human colonization to prepare the evolutionary frequencies and patterns. They are highly evolved Light Beings who are lovingly dedicated to the fulfillment of human spiritual evolutionary goals. So, why do you need to become a "whole brain" being? Without whole brain function, you remain split off from your own  spiritual wholeness, your connection through oneness with God/Goddess/All That Is. In order to attain whole brain function, you must both spiritually evolve and heal the electrical system in your brain and body. This electrical system is literally the communication link through which your spirit speaks and creates in the physical world. Any blockage in your electrical system inhibits your spirit and Master Presence from fully embodying." You might also be interested to know that monatomic elements also help to balance right and left hemispheres of the brain. That is why it is good to be on a vegan diet or at least vegetarian; as you will get a certain amount of monatomics in a natural way from these foods. In fact the biggest concern health wise as we near 2012 and an increase in frequency, is cancer. Note that cancer tumors do not grow in an oxygen rich environment. (See archives at this site 'Keeping You and Your Kids Healthy') Cancer tumors require that you have a weakened immune system, (also enhanced by bio-genetic foods) lots of sugar and a Vitamin D deficiency. This means lack of sunlight; which is the source of Vitamin D. Also see at this site, 'The Truth About the Sun and Sunscreens') When you eat lots of sugar, meat; which contains hormones, steroids, blood and sodium nitrate (used to make the meat red) then you create an environment rich for cancer tumors. Once you have rebundled or connected 6 strands of the 12 strands of DNA that you were created to have, you will not be able to ingest death into your body. Thus you will not choose cadavers as a food choice.For a doctor's perspective on why meat is so harmful to your body please go to 'Effects of Animal Fats On The Human Body' at You Tube. And its time for another' Myth' to be broken and that is that you need meat for protein. A boldfaced falsehood from an objective point of view. Although if you believe it, it is true; as all beliefs are equally valid. You can get all the proteins your body needs from a vegan diet. From my own experience, all of the great Yogic Masters and extra-terrestrial teachers recommended a vegan diet. The killing of the animal kingdom as a food source is a total waste time, effort and needless depletion of the natural environment and that includes the dolphins and whales! The general rule of thumb is 'if it has eyes' don't eat it or drink anything that comes from it. Cows milk was made for cows, by the way, and not humans. It is the mother's milk that sets the tone for the immune system. The whole process of the path to Self Realization is an amazing science. Your sex life, breathing (pranayamas), food consumption, overall health--physically, emotionally (root cause of all disease is dysfunctional emotions) and spiritually are all connected. Your first priority is to take care of the human body, next priority for the rational mind is putting a positive spin on all outer circumstances. And let's not forget to follow your excitement; with integrity. This is the compass that tells you that you are in alignment with your Higher Self. Sexual excitement also falls into this category. If you are looking for a technique to clean the circuitry; so that you can channel sexual energy to the higher chakras, I recommend the following: visualize an infinity symbol (basically a figure 8) with the top starting at your 3rd eye chakra, then bends and curves through your heart chakra (or 4th chakra) and bends and curves down to your base chakra. Visualize the opposite procedure for the other half of the figure 8. Next visualize this as a moving image of silver and gold energy. Start with gold down one side and silver down the other and each moving throughout the figure 8. Don't worry if at some point they spill into each other. This process will clean the wires; so to speak. My sincere best towards your attainment of full consciousness, perfect health and abundance.
