[@mitsuha4788]

For the Kings on semen retention, please understand this. Semen retention is simply the beginning. It is only a stepping stone to a much greater practice of sacred sexuality-called sexual alchemy. Do not just let that pent up sexual energy sit around within you, but circulate it, move it around, breathe it up to the brain with the Holy Spirit (the Breath of God) to gain higher levels of consciousness. When you get the sexual energy moving all throughout your spine, what begins to happen is the awakening of the Kundalini.

[@samo_ammo]

Thank you ❤🙏🏽

[@exchange22picks88]

But how to do this can you elaborate please?

[@HelloWorld-cq1sq]

@@exchange22picks88 One way of doing that is via the microcosmic orbit. You can google that. Or you can practice Kriya yoga and they'll teach you how to work with energy. The book "kriya secrets revealed" is pretty good, if you can't find a good guru.

[@janglestick]

@@exchange22picks88 I find a mason jar with wide lid works best. But seriously folks, be careful of sending energy directly to the very top or actually, of building up a lot of this type of energy at all, just .. be careful. Of either the literal type, or the spinal work type. See maharishikaa for cases of raw kundalini gone too much. even not "raw", it can be a lot, and you should have your life somewhat in order, you should have a job or an avocation or other stuff to put energy into that you study or enjoy, etc Or the ability to keep a diary and reflect upon yourself oddly can help, for some it's vital. like a longer term version of vipassana insight growth. It is a dynamic, firey energy, so you will have to learn to not only calm yourself but fill yourself with a Water energy, the strongest of which is the oceanic AUM, so, as kriya sometimes states, AUM into your chakras. Generally speaking, do not become obsessed with perfecting your internal state in terms of gaining sensation. You are learning how it works, and then how to use it, and then how and when it's appropriate to apply what to what for which goals of yours, in this world. In this world, which ends up being associated with the Soles of your Feet (and the Palms of your Hands). When you have been doing energetic work, these are good places to "come back to" and have a little more to do with Earth in the sense of Action, or Purpose, and a bit different than going below the ground or the center of the earth etc for grounding or other purposes. The spinal chakras should be capable of being "retracted" when not being used or modified so that the association is not so literal as modifying behavior to the functioning of the area.

[@plutoneptune]

Celibacy is the only way

[@Oldeagle66]

I been doing this for a few years now and it's changed my life. I think more clearly and now immune to the sexual games women play. I don't swap spit or share any body fluids anymore. I also haven't had the flu or a cold in years.

[@somakun1806]

Best way is to keep urself busy in some sort of activity or be near with any of the family member....bcz if u are alone it becomes very hard to retain semen. Trust me i have failed so many times bcz i was alone doing nothing. Once i got myself busy be it studies or some chore...i stopped thinking about masturbation.

[@VikesTrendingUp]

I went a month. Didn't feel any different though. But I live alone and work from home. So I have a lot of down/alone time. It's difficult trying to stay occupied all the time.

[@hrithiky-7]

Folks, Read these lines very attentively........ Everything is impermanent my friends, observe the sensations arising on the body, the sight of people you watch, the irritability sensations at different parts of the body during the urges and just observe them with a calm mindset and accept them with the knowledge of impermanence. They'll slowly pass away. Just 10 days is enough and you'll see the difference. This alone is the quickest and the most challenging way to get over this habit or any annoying cravings or addictions you have. God bless you all!

[@ameer20550]

I agree with you, the difficulty just with the beginning. But in principle, isn't this renewable energy, if it is completely imprisoned, becomes harmful to the body? Wasn't it designed to be used in moderation with love? I think it is not normal for a person to stay for more than a month or even 10 days without a healthy sexual relationship with a woman he loves.. The habit of moderate, non-excessive sexual practices based on love is one of the means of healing and wellness of the body and brain. What's your view on that?

Summary: Everything in the body can be transformed, the key is knowing what you want and cooking your inner soup according to it. Know thyself. You are the Alchemist of your own life. Summoning the powers of your individual vessel and form it into something beautiful, just like everyone can play the same game but show different levels of extraordinary outcomes. It's simply what life you choose and then figuring out what energetic cocktail is needed for it with your own vessel. Producing semen costs energy. Means if that investment now operates against your chosen model of life, the big question is when do you develop the competence & discipline to set it up to work For you.

How did you do it?

[@rksiitd]

I really enjoyed this video, Sadhguru! I found your insights on semen retention to be very informative and thought-provoking. I especially appreciated your explanation of how semen retention can lead to increased energy, focus, and creativity. I was surprised to learn that semen retention can have such a positive impact on physical and mental health. I'm also interested in learning more about the yogic practices that Sadhguru mentioned in the video. I think they could be a valuable addition to my own spiritual practice. 🤩😍

I do semen retention but there are times I feel like I'm going insane.

[@niteeshkatiyar391]

Its not advisable for married person. Mostly yogis do it

[@AK-eu4yy]

Most important is changing the mind and thoughts.

[@anonymouslyrist6060]

Try tools of transformation and isha kriya daily by Sadhguru..it will prevent you from going insane

[@RealIsm-rj6kw]

Going insane is good if you Chanel it correctly.

[@Flippeflop]

🍒Absolutely Semen retention can be an almost enlightening experience and may become a spiritual journey giving you more energy; in addition to looking at it from both perspectives. Semen is very sacred yet it's also very natural and the body's way of expression💟🏵🌈

[@michaelgusovsky]

So, how do you transform virya into ojas? Sexual energy into spiritual energy? Right now, i feel like im only suppressing sensual desire, but suppressing is not the right way.

[@ashaysingh9278]

Kriya yoga, shambhavi mahamudra

[@krishnakantamisra1754]

Do some meditation and read good things like Geeta upanishad or any good scriptures listen good things like some mantra or talk of great people (Nirvana satakam, Bhavani ashtakam etc, talks of vedanta society of New York, sadguru etc), see good things on internet think about good thoughts like your goals your spritual questions and these desire will go

[@michaelgusovsky]

@@krishnakantamisra1754 thank you, friend. I do all those things, yet, desire still comes up. Maybe more meditation, more japa, will help.

When you say, practice sexual transmutation, can you elaborate? What is the method for doing that? It doesn't seem to happen by itself.

[@iamearthbeing]

: He's right! Everytime you loose that life force for whatever activity, off-course you'll feel good at the time but you'll be drained later.. At one point, it'll be addictive to do so, but it'll be really challenging for the body to get back up... You think its natural for every animal to do so but no, only humans do it for little pleasures ( either with a partner or alone) . Animals do it only during mating season if you've noticed.. It is POWERFUL . Like a fire in that chakra. If preserved, A human being can feel so much physically strong and mentally confident.. Like that superhuman energy.. Not that he'll lift more weights or approach anyone with a wide chest, no. but you'll be bursting with potent energy. Ailments in the body can be taken care of. I'm not saying it'll cure everything or you'll stay young and beautiful forever without death, no,but the body has the ability to heal itself right. So this life force will be re-absorbed by the body and use it wherever is required. Even to get over hunger. Your mind will distract you for sure. But stay true to yourself... the mind will stop bothering you again but for that, your sadhana must be strong... 🙏
