I do yoga just to improve my sexual life

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

That is what friend of mine told me. The guy is in his 50’s I guess and he believes that yoga will make him playboy for the rest of his life.

I’ve seen other people doing yoga for many-many different reasons.

The original purpose of yoga (per patanjali and others) is self-realization and enlightenment, samadhi, whatever! That’s fine, but I do not see any problems that today yoga is used ( and works great) to serve many-many different purposes, and no one cares about that magic self-realization and enlightenment. …people just care about health, sex, healthy food and general wellbeing.

I’m totally fine with that. If my student asks for poses that will let him eventually wrap his leg behind his ear - thats fine. If this is the one thing he wants to achieve - help him to do it! Do not bug the guy or girl with enlightenment ideas. If they need it - they will ask for it!

I know that you joke about making up headlines for your previous career in mass media-- whether they were truthful or misleading or not–and from [U]so many[/U] of the titles of your threads that you begin here on the forum, it is obvious that you have not lost that skill. wow. :slight_smile:

• How does one choose healthy foods that are appropriate to one’s own body?[/I] Through self-knowledge, discipline, by experiencing the prana in one’s own body and relating to the prana in their choice of food = Yoga.
[I]
• How does one create and sustain vibrant love making and sexual energy within their own bodies and relationships?[/I] Through self-study, pranayama, healthy choices for body, the enjoyment of personal energy and that of others and healthy boundaries so that you can explore with your partner for pleasure = Yoga.

• [I]How does one create general well-being in their minds and bodies? [/I]Through more of the same: Yoga.

Yoga isn’t magic. And self-realization and enlightenment are not needed to have been achieved or to be the goal, but it is still Yoga.

Call it what you will, for whatever is the intended goal of the individual, but if it adds steadiness and sweetness to the intended, then it is Yoga.

Once a garbage collector accidentally landed at the door step of an art museum. He thought he was unwelcome there, but he found the door open. He came to a beautiful painting and was elated to see it. The painter standing next to him was curious and gifted him the painting. The garbage collector neatly tore it, crumpled it and stuffed it in his trash bag and sprinted away. Had he looked at the painter he would have seen a smiling artist who was getting ready to paint another masterpiece.

Some people simply don’t deserve Poorna Yoga, if all that they are looking for is Porno Bhoga. They will trash any masterpiece. Stripping is so dear to them that even the freedom of expression stands completely stripped of any sense of responsibility. One thing is to their advantage though; they cannot fall from where they are, lying on the ground nose down no one does.

I was once invited to present a yoga session for a bunch of ladies after a conference on sex. The organiser who do yoga herself wanted the ladies to expereince what yoga could do for your sex life in terms of a more supple body, what she forgot was that she was busy with yoga for a number of years already. I warned her that if it is people who have never done yoga in their lives that they will be more stiff the next day and cursing me than supple and in the mood for sex with their hubbies, but said lady insisted and I obliged at R120 x 30 ladies = R3600 (? $520) I thought it was too good to refuse, very easy money. Anyway, I arrived and all these lovely ladies were beaming after a morning of talking about sex and how to be better at it. My session was 60 minutes of gentle stretching and just trying to loosen their bodies a little and a few gentle asanas to get them into the swing of yoga and what it can do for your sex life. I dished out business cards afterwards and received much interest for classes as most of them were now so radiant with energy. Anyway, two days later I received calls from ladies not so happy, becasue they were stiff and sore and couldn’t see the benefit of yoga for their sex lives! I was not invited again to present a yoga session at such a conference. :slight_smile: I had a good laugh afterwards and a few ladies did come for yoga and is now very dedicated yoginis.

Yoga is divine union with the absolute. Sex is physical union, but it’s carnal. Yoga would help, but that would defeat it’s true purpose.

The absolute includes the physical and the carnal. What benefits the part also benefits the whole.

People who do yoga for bodily health should not be looked down upon. In fact no one can deny that asanas have their first effect on body, they work through body!
My main objective of asanas(which I have not achieved yet) is to overcome the troubles of my body. Its later on I realise that my troubles have a root in my mind and it has to made a part of the package too.
In different paths concept of enlightenment is different. But I think in almost all of the cases it is most certainly a certain something which is the most highest something that can be experienced in this awful limitless creation. We ourselves are still at least a billion miles away from enlightenment. Lets be humble and forgiving.

Although one should not have any aversion from it, to simply transmit yoga according to the desires of the masses is not practical. Because naturally, the average person is simply interested in using the method in a way which is going to nourish one’s ego. Whether it is for the purpose of cultivating siddhis, clinging to the idea of enlightenment, or wanting simply to remain physically healthy, it amounts to the same. One remains in a deep unconsciousness, the same unconsciousness which continues manufacturing all of one’s sufferings. And our programming is such a stubborn force, that it will resist transformation at almost any cost.

If one is simply interested in health, there are a million other teachers who can provide such a thing, that is not my interest. My approach is very different, I will not even accept a disciple unless he has demonstrated some desire to come to know oneself, through and through.

#16

@AmirMourad How do you do it? How do you accept a disciple?

#17

Everything has multiple perspectives… You can look at anything and see from your angle.

So this guy thinks of Yoga as a way to improve such physical experience, the other guy sees yoga as a way to still the mind and be happy and then there is another person who looks yoga as a means to attain God/Realization.

Its all in the mind…

For example - When you see a Young & Beautiful Woman - Whats the first thought that comes to your mind? Do you see a Object to fulfil your desire, or a Daughter, or a Sister or a Mother or a Soul just like yours?

No need to answer this… Its a question to ourselves only and the answer tells us where we stand in terms of our evolution ( or devolution)…

Certainly everything can be seen from almost infinite number of angles and perspectives, all a finger pointing to the moon. But that does not mean that the expansion of consciousness is not a scientific phenomenon. This mind is a by product of thousands of years of evolution, and while every mind may express itself in unique ways, the basic mechanisms are the same. The very nature of man is such, that one is always seeking expansion beyond one’s present limitations. What has been called “enlightenment” is just part of the natural evolution of every mind, it is not something that one can pursue as a hobby project. Either one has awakened a fire in one’s belly for it, or one has yet to ignite it. If one has awakened a fire in one’s belly, then whether one does nothing or does something, the tendency to come to know oneself is almost inescapable. That is why, unless one comes to a communion with one’s true nature, one is always going to feel that something is lacking. The sense of it is so subtle, so vague, but it is absolutely certain that something is lacking. And because everything in existence is always in a state of flux, whatever one manages to achieve, it cannot provide anything more than temporary satisfaction. Not knowing what to do, one continues searching outwardly like an ox chasing it’s own tail in repetative cycles. If one has been living out of unconsciousness, it is inevitable. So it is possible to use something like yoga, or any number of spiritual sciences, as simply a method to provide therapy or general physical health. But one will quickly find that simply to be healthy is not enough.

Lostontheway,

It ordinarily happens spontaneously in the flash of a moment. When a Buddha sees into a Buddha, the encounter is always most intimate.

So feeling good with the union of another is bad ? No. Is it the ultimate union of self with universe ? Could be. Though yogi’s stereotypically seek union quietly and alone- there are no rules proscribing anything that comes from love. I had prostate cancer and I was single. I wasn’t ready for the celibacy. Fortunately, the good health yoga gives makes sex a good part of my and my Heidi’s life together. The prostate is the channel for life force going down and out procreatively. The ultimate goal of yoga is to send life force up. To do this requires a totally integrated nervous system. Viable sexual apparatus is part of a healthy body. Doing yoga for sex is like climbing stairs for the next step- nothing wrong in that. You might like the view from that step and want to stay awhile. Nothing wrong in that. Going faster than you should just makes life a blur. namaste
