Tantric sex and the Ajna Chakra

Tantric sex comes from the ancient Indian practice of Tantra. For thousands of years Buddhist and Yogic practitioners have used tantric sex to enter alternate mind states and reach infinite bliss. It also helps to control orgasm and make sex last longer, conveniently. Though tantric sex has many facets, here we focus on the technique that's most useful in orgasm control: Ajna Chakra Focus. The ajna chakra is an energy point located in the forehead, between the eyes. When you focus on this point, physically and mentally, orgasm will be delayed and sex will last longer. If you have not read the first few orgasm control sections, do so now.

We begin with finding ajna and gently pulling your eyes towards it:

• Exercise 9: Pull your eyes to ajna

Relax your entire body. Allow urself to breathe freely and deeply. Spend a few moments relaxing and clearing all outside thoughts from your mind. When you read the words 'close your eyes' at the end of this exercise, do the following:
imagine two paths leading from your eyes, coming inside your head. Imagine these two paths meet at a central point, two inches behind and an inch above your eyes. Imagine this point existing in the centre of your mind.
Very gently use your eye muscles to physically pull your eyes inwards and upwards towards this centre point. Its not so much a movement as a pressure. Don't overstrain it but hold your eyes in this position for a few moments. Close your eyes.

This centre point between and behind your eyes is your ajna chakra, sometimes referred to as the 3rd eye or inner eye. Physically pulling your eyes towards it is the first step in ajna focus. The second step is the use of meditation on the same point. Here's one example of ajna meditation:

• Exercise 10a: Ajna energy meditation

Relax your entire body. Close your eyes and take deep slow breaths. As you inhale, imagine every part of your body filling with energy. Every limb, every organ, every muscle, increasingly becoming more and more saturated with energy on each inhale. Feel yourself in control of the energy, and get ready to release it.
On the next inhale, imagine all the energy contained in your body being channelled upwards, up thru hundreds of paths from every point on your body. The paths feed up from your legs, arms, torso and shoulders, up through your neck into your head. As you do this, close your eyes and pull them inwards as described in exercise 9. As the streams of energy converge inside your head, imagine every path being channelled thru a single point: your ajna chakra.
As you exhale, imagine hundreds of energy streams bursting forth to the outside world through that single tiny point. Keep your eyes pulled inwards and upwards, as if trying to press on your ajna chakra, intensifying the release.
Repeat as often as you like, drawing energy upwards on each inhale, and releasing it through ajna on each exhale. If your eyes feel sore at any time stop and rest.

At some point during meditation you may feel a tingle or shiver around your back or shoulders. The tingle is a positive feeling and will help with ajna focus - if you get it, think about what caused it and try to make it happen again.

It's exactly the same feeling tingle feeling you get down the back of your neck, down your back and shoulders when you listen to a really, really good piece of music, or when you go from a warm room to a cold room. I don't know what it is exactly, or what causes it.
With practice you will be able to 'send' this tingle down your back. The best time to try it is during the exhale in exercise 10a. Consider the tingle or shiver moving down your back as part of the energy release. Here's another example of ajna meditation:

• Exercise 10b: Ajna void meditation

Again relax your entire body, close your eyes and breathe freely and deeply. Focus your mind on your ajna chakra. Imagine ajna as the smallest possible point, so tiny it can only be imagined and not seen. Imagine there exists all around it total emptiness: vast, empty blackness stretching out forever. Nothing else exists, only the infinitesimal point of ajna at the centre of an infinitely large void.
Meditate only on this point and the huge void around it. Think of nothing else.
Imagine any stray thoughts that enter your mind instantly dissolving into the gigantic black void. Any words, sounds, images or other thoughts that appear vanish into nothing immediately. Concentrate only on ajna, a tiny point at the centre of an infinite universe of black, empty space.

Spend as much time meditating on these techniques as you see fit. During masturbation or sex use the combination of physical and meditation exercises to hold off orgasm. Try it first with masturbation:

• Exercise 11: Ajna focus during masturbation

Begin masturbating as normal. Before you reach orgasm, close your eyes and gently pull them inwards and upwards towards your ajna chakra as described in exercise 9. Keep masturbating. As you get close to orgasm, use either one of the ajna meditations, 10a or 10b.
You may feel a sense of inner strength or confidence. If you get this sensation, concentrate on it and relish it. Visualise that feeling of inner power, and let your body feed off it. Let ajna focus lead you away from orgasm. If you do get too close, use the inner strength sensation to reverse the approach. Practice this for as long as you want.

Once you become familiar with ajna focus during masturbation and have used it to take yourself away from orgasm, move onto using it with sex:

• Exercise 12: Ajna focus during sex

When you have sex, the 'inner power' feeling is very accessible. Close your eyes during sex and gently pull them towards ajna. Relax your entire body and focus on one of the ajna meditations. Give yourself plenty of time to try this out - don't go too fast at first. The more time you spend avoiding orgasm, the more time you hav learning to avoid it. As sex keeps going, immerse yourself deeper and deeper in meditation. Forget the outside world. Forget your worries, your problems, forget the events of the day. Forget you have a body. Forget your partner has a body. Meditate on a single concept - that now there is but one entity: ajna.

Once you're happy with ajna focus, use it together with the other techniques, slow breathing and stopping if you need it. You can if you wish alter the above meditations to suit yourself or invent your own. Other examples of common meditations would be focusing on an imaginary candle flame or a golden sun at the point of the ajna chakra.
Its likely that using any type of calm, relaxing meditation during sex will help hold off orgasm. Meditation is known to reduce heart rate, blood pressure and stress. Having an orgasm is associated with the opposite - high heart rate, high blood pressure and high stress. These functions are normally considered to be involuntary, that is they cannot be controlled directly like the biceps muscle in the arm. This is the power of meditation - the ability to alter physical body functions that weren't designed to be altered directly. Meditation slows your nervous system while still allowing you to maintain an erection and keep having sex as slow or as fast as you want. Think about when you wake up with a morning erection: you have just emerged from the most relaxed state possible - sleep - yet you still had an erection.

For some as yet unexplained reason, ajna focus also helps to hold off a sneeze. I don't know why but when you have a sneeze coming, if you use ajna focus and hold your breath then you can hold it off. There is even a presneeze feeling the same as a pregasm. It comes 2 to 3 seconds before the sneeze so you know when to go straight into ajna focus. Who was it that said orgasm is like a sneeze??
