The biggest misconception about sex is that it’s dirty, forbidden, or wrong.
In truth, sex is sacred.
Not in a churchy way.
(Though, don’t get me wrongif that’s your thing, I’m down.)
But as pure cosmic energy, sex is a physical act that provides a direct connection to the divine.
I think we’ve been going about it the wrong way for a very long time.
Here’s what it means to have spiritual, sacred sex.
From my personal experience, sexual, spiritual, and creative energy are really all parts of one whole.
If you are expressed creatively, you are going to be expressed sexually.
And creativity is about spiritual communion.
Sexis a core function of humanity.
It plays a huge role in the physical health and vitality of the body.
Sacred sexuality is completely counter to what our culture presents as the experience of sex.
In modern society, sex is completely externally focused.
Experiencing sex this way takes us away from the present.
The present is the only truth there really is.
Why is sex the most coveted experience in modern-day culture?
Because we seek this connection with the divine.
Because it allows us to transcend ourselves in a way no other experience does.
We know there is the potential for sex to be transformational and life-changing.
We’ve been expecting way too little of sex for a very long time.
It’s a massively powerful energy.
And it has more potential than we realize to be a force for the amazing in our lives.

Feeling guilty or embarrassed?
Sex is fantastic, wonderful, amazing, natural, wild, erotic, and awesome.
With consenting partners and within the realms of both people’s boundaries, sex should occur freely.

Exercise your devotion muscle.

Create the environment in which sacred sex can blossom

Open yourself up to exploring sexual intimacy however you feel moved to do so.
Let every session be unique and distinct unto itself.

Practice looking into each other’s eyes.
Stay in the feeling of each moment.

If you’re not sure where to begin, consider incorporating tantric sex practices.
Tantra is a sexual practice that beautifully merges sex and spirituality.
