Digest Number 407

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I have practiced and have been interested in yoga and tantra

for some time and I know that it changes the body and brain chemistry. I

have read about the importance of celibacy and also about tantric methods. I

have a question on sexual control and how it leads to formultion of the

element called Ojas in the body. I saw the following message on Ojas on a

list that I have been on for a while. I am just giving part of it. Can

someone explain Ojas and its role in sexual control and tantra. I have

become very curious about this notion and have asked other lists and list

friends to help me out. I would appreciate any information on it and any

books that I can read on it. It is mentioned in the following message that

was posted on and given below is part of the post. Thanks.

As I stated in my first post on this topic, physical celibacy, in fact,

canplay an important role in Kundalini Yoga. With the accumulation of Ojas

in the brain, Shakti works in higher centers and can maintain its residence

in Sahasarara (in the brain center) for longer periods during Samadhi.

Repeated experiences beyond body consciousness can facilitate ultimately the

evaporation of ignorance, Nirvikalpa Samadhi, and Clear Knowing of Self By

It Self.

 

Love to all

Harsha

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal

Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously

arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a.

Have you used human hormones -- or did your doctor just try different

conjugated horse urine stuff. Get your doctor to give you natural human

hormones -- the estradiol can either be oral or skin patch ( I use a skin

patch called vivelle-dot) and a natural progesterone (prometrium). I also use

a testoterone cream -- but that I have to get at a compounding pharmacy.
