Lesson 66 - Q&A – Arriving, not leaving

From: Yogani
Date: Sun Jan 4, 2004 8:05am

New Members: It is recommended you read from the beginning of the
archive, as previous lessons are prerequisite to this one. The first
lesson is, "Why This Discussion?"

Q: I am a bit afraid that the pranayama practice may feel
soooo good that I may lose complete interest in sexual contact with
my spouse. Does this happen; and if it does can it be prevented?

A: The rise of divine ecstasy is an expansion, not a leaving. Sex is
always a matter of choice. While it is true that the attention will
naturally be attracted to inner ecstasy, it is also true that outer
sex is turned radiant by this, becoming a blossom of the divine
rather than an end in itself. This is what pure bliss consciousness
and inner ecstasy do to all of life -- illuminate it from the inside.
Then pure joy is found everywhere. That is an improvement, yes?

The lessons will get into more on yoga and sex down the road -- the
enlightenment process as it relates to relationships, marriage and
sex -- not necessarily incompatible things at all. Key tantra
practices will be covered also, so that outer sex can become a part
of the process of divine expansion rather than a drain on it. Of
course, all advanced yoga practices are at your option. That goes for
everything in here. It is up to you to decide what makes sense for
you, and what doesn't.

If you really want to make the journey, you will find the way
through. If you decide to make the trip, you will find that you are
arriving, not leaving.

Your desire will lead the way, which brings us to further
consideration of a very important topic: Bhakti.

The guru is in you.
