Human Sexuality and Relationships: A Holistic Guide
Introduction: The Essence of Human Sexuality and Relationships
When we think of “human sexuality,” our minds often go straight to the physical act. However, as we explore on Pathway To A Healthy Lifestyle, human sexuality and human relationships are profoundly intertwined. This dynamic energy is not limited to the sexual act; instead, it is a continuous force within each individual. This innate power serves a beautiful purpose: to draw people into levels of intimacy. It was not intended as a barrier to creating self-consciousness; it was designed to bring individuals into genuine human connections.
In this article, we delve into the multifaceted nature of human sexuality, exploring how understanding it unlocks more fulfilling relationships and contributes to your overall well-being.
Understanding Sexual Identity and Its Role in Human Relationships
Human sexuality and human relationships are practically synonymous. True human relationships build upon negotiated levels of intimacy. Open intimacy forms the very cornerstones of your interactivity, which is life itself. Human sexuality is more than an attraction between people; it is part of each person’s character and human identity.
Esoterically, this vital energy finds its seat of consciousness in the second chakra. Here, in both men and women, we find the foundations of personal identity and of society itself.
Breaking Down Barriers: Evolving Our Understanding of Sexuality and Relationships
Historically, society dictated sexual roles, which divided the human race. Yet, it is crucial to remember that only one race exists: the human race. These arbitrary sexual divisions within various cultures deny total human freedom. Indeed, in humanity’s struggle, the first great oppression was that of sexuality.
Strong human instincts—the desire for intimacy, to nurture, and to reproduce—translate into powerful, tangible political and social forces. To truly grasp human sexuality, you must become at one with your sexuality.
Embracing the Androgynous State for Liberated Selfhood and Healthy Relationships
One profound way to understand your sexuality is not by dividing yourselves into male and female roles, but by merging those roles totally within the self. Only when you achieve the androgynous state, accepting yourself as both male and female, does the self and everything about the self become liberated.
When each person becomes androgynous and nonjudgmental of others’ sexuality and its expression (as long as both parties consent), all the diversifications of human sexuality merge. They find a common path that is both liberating and unifying. To be androgynous means being neither male nor female in personality, but becoming at one where they balance.
The Transformative Power of Sexual Energy for Deeper Connections and Relationships
The sexual act is not only a release of tensions. Even simple foreplay, a tantric act itself, causes actual alterations in the personality. If this principle applies knowledgeably, those who share sexual intimacies advance, enhance, and spiritualize their personalities. This occurs by increasing the life force through meridian flow and allowing blood greater ease as stress release from the physical body after orgasm.
Many say that in the sexual act, energy drains from the male to the female during ejaculation. What transpires is a reversal of polarities. After the sexual act, passivity often comes upon the male, and activity to the female. If both individuals consolidate and meditate upon these states, they can attain the androgynous state. This leads to total enhancement and closure of energy. There is no actual loss of energy for either the male or the female. The sexual act results in a reversal of polarities, thus creating an androgynous state within both individuals.
The sexual act’s stimulation is comparable to acupuncture, acupressure, and other forces that work with the meridians of the physical body. This allows the personality to flow along its natural lines of sexuality and attract individuals consciously chosen in this lifetime. This becomes the balance point from which individuality flows forth.
Deepening Human Connections Through Understanding Sexuality and Relationships
These principles serve to evolve human relationships. A higher understanding of sexuality’s true purpose allows for deepening relations between persons. Human sexuality is also a magnetic fluid that flows forth from all persons. It acts as an attractive force, not only on a biological level but on a literal magnetic principle as well. This creates a continuous force to draw individuals into human relationships.
