Why Sexual Activity or Orgasm Triggers Kundalini Surges

The Core Teaching
My teaching connects sexual surges with the release of control: when you are fully present with your partner, the whole body participates instead of remaining held behind an identity or performance. The essential condition is mutual willingness and enjoyment, without pressure. Approach sexual energy with consciousness and understanding, not fear of every surge or a demand to produce one. Caring for your body and learning to feel life directly are part of that same work.

Why does sexual activity or orgasm lead to Kundalini surges? First of all, look at the physical aspects of what happens in your body when you are involved in sexual activity and finally reach orgasm.

Blood Circulation, Movement, and Body Heat

Sexual activity does not happen without blood circulation. When you move your body during sexual activity, your entire body receives blood circulation because of the increase in your heart rate.

When your heart rate increases, blood circulates to the peripheral nervous system. When the peripheral nervous system receives this circulation, it also involves the areas where you have blockages.

When blood is circulating and movement is happening in the body, what else happens? The heat in your body also increases during sexual activity.

You are moving your body through different poses and variations, and you are involved in the sexual activity. Your entire existence—your physical body, mental body, and energy body—unites to release the hold on your nervous system.

When this happens, your energy body is also releasing its hold on your nervous system.

Releasing Blockages and the Body’s Armor

This release involves blockages, constriction, and contraction in the nervous system, as well as body armor.

In sexual activity, you lose your egoic control. You lose your body’s armor—the need to be someone and behave like someone.

If you are totally involved in sexual activity, you will lose your egoic identity. Sex is the only activity in which a human organism loses its egoic identity when totally taking pleasure in the moment and feeling each sensation in the body.

This is the beauty of having sexual activity with full consciousness and full involvement.

Breathing, the Vagus Nerve, and Sushumna Nadi

Also, look at your breathing rate. Your breathing becomes heightened as your sympathetic nervous system activates. Sometimes it moves into the smoother activity of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Sometimes it heightens; sometimes it lowers. This activates your vagus nerve.

Now, from the energy perspective, you need to know that when your vagus nerve is activated, your Sushumna nadi—the central energy channel—also opens.

This is the secret behind your Kundalini surges during good sexual activity and an orgasmic experience.

What Happens During Orgasm?

When you experience orgasm, your energy releases its control from the center and comes to the periphery. These electrical signals—the surges of the orgasmic experience—are nothing but Kundalini.

It is Kundalini energy that is responsible for making you feel orgasmic. If you are totally healthy, you will feel a good orgasmic experience after good sex.

An orgasm is different in males and females. In males, when semen is released, you feel that orgasmic jerk and the orgasmic experience.

When the body is totally releasing its hold and its armor, you will feel a different kind of orgasm if you are male. All the energy will be released, and the body will thunder.

The body will jerk. It is like releasing the hold. It is as though your entire existence is letting go.

All these conditions create the ground for Kundalini to move.

Blood Circulation, Lymphatic Activity, and Hormones

When your blood circulation is at its best, your lymphatic system activates. Your lymphatic system clears blockages throughout the system quickly.

Moreover, good hormones are released in the body during good sexual activity.

What Is Good Sexual Activity?

Good sexual activity is something you do with your partner—your committed partner—with both of you enjoying the act of having sex.

This means it is not for reproduction or under any pressure. There is no performance pressure from the male or the female.

You both enjoy each other’s company. You both have mutually agreed to be in the act.

Sex is very instinctive to a human organism. If something is instinctive, you cannot avoid it.

Celibacy and Pressure in the Lower Body

So, stop avoiding sexual activity through celibacy when you are going through your Kundalini awakening journey. Celibacy won’t work for you.

In fact, it will create more pressure and a greater build-up of energy in your lower body, in your pelvic region. This will lead to a neurosis-like condition when you also have other symptoms connected with this activity.

If you want to activate Kundalini, my advice is to have sex with your committed partner. Also, make sure you are doing it with full consciousness.

What Does Full Consciousness Mean?

Consciousness means that in each movement of your body, you become conscious of yourself. Your consciousness should feel and perceive the feelings in your body.

The way I am walking right now in nature, this is a great energy vortex. It is a big energy vortex. Look around and get a feel for the place.

Such a beautiful place. Such beautiful nature. It is morning. It is raining and drizzling, and the environment, with its negative ions, feels full of life.

A Healthy Body and Kundalini Surges

First, you should be very healthy to experience the beauty of Kundalini energy. Kundalini surges will not become dangerous or something you want to avoid.

In fact, you will enjoy the pleasure that comes from Kundalini movement and ascension.

Energy Release in the Sacral Region

Moreover, what happens when you have sex and experience orgasm? The energy is released in the lower part of the sacral chakra. It gets released from the lower part of the body.

So, you may also feel jerks in the legs and lower regions.

Now, what is happening? Your energy is also moving and ascending.

Kundalini is primarily located in the root and sacral chakras. When Kundalini energy is released from blockages in the central nervous system, or Sushumna nadi, it ascends.

When Kundalini ascends, it will create movements, jerks, and other natural parts of the process.

But what is not natural is your perception of Kundalini.

Get Educated and Gain Clarity

My advice is that if you are going through any issues connected with Kundalini and sex, get yourself educated first.

You can take my online consultation. If you have any questions, get yourself diagnosed and gain clarity about what is happening in your case. If that is true, you can then work on yourself.

I also conduct in-person sessions to support your health during the Kundalini process. Health means that Kundalini needs a healthy body to progress well.

Sexual Energy, Libido, and Ojas

To have good sex with your partner, you should have a great body in which you can feel your sexual energy. Your libido should be good.

Your libido is good when your ojas is high. Your ojas is high when you nourish yourself with good prana from the environment.

You soak in prana from the earth. You soak in prana from the sun.

Today is a rainy day. Some days are rainy, and some days are sunny. But it does not matter.

What matters is how much you are exposed to nature, how instinctive you are in life, and how much you want to experience yourself.

Such a beautiful moment this is. The moss and everything around me are coming alive right now.

Working in My Presence

All this is possible when you work in my presence. My presence—I am the Kundalini guru who can move your Kundalini.

This project is also part of that work. Right now, I am conducting one of these projects with a student working on the lower body because of many pelvic symptoms and blockages below.

When you do this, you will come alive.

Become a Learner

If you want to work on yourself and gain clarity, there is so much to learn.

Become a learner and free yourself from all the confusion and misunderstandings about Kundalini.

Thank you.

Why Your Sex Drive Changes After Kundalini Awakening

Why Your Sex Drive Changes After Kundalini Awakening

A loss of sexual desire and an overwhelming increase in desire are different conditions; neither should automatically be attributed to Kundalini. First investigate health, emotional, and addiction-related factors, then work on the actual cause. Where sexual energy is the issue, my emphasis is on presence and the completeness of the shared experience with your partner, rather than frequency or endless thinking about sex. The work must involve your physical, emotional, and energetic life together.

Spontaneous Orgasms and Genital Sensations During Kundalini: What Is Happening?

Spontaneous Orgasms and Genital Sensations During Kundalini: What Is Happening?

A spontaneous genital or orgasmic sensation is not enough to tell you its cause or its solution. Investigate medical factors first, then look at the whole situation: trauma, your relationship, sexual experience, and how you inhabit your lower body. In my teaching, conscious completion with your partner and practical grounding are connected parts of the work. Repeatedly naming the sensation Kundalini will not replace understanding what is actually happening in your individual life.

Why Kundalini Creates Intense Sexual Energy You Cannot Control

Why Kundalini Creates Intense Sexual Energy You Cannot Control

Repeating a sexual act is not the same as being fully present to it. In my teaching, unresolved lust demands conscious completion, and neither frequency nor ejaculation alone defines that completion. First investigate medical and psychological causes, then understand your own body and relationship. Bring attention into the shared experience with your partner and into the movement of the legs and pelvis; the work concerns your whole embodied life, not an obsession with sex as the single solution.
