They know how to dissipate it or disintegrate it unconsciously but they don\u2019t know how to tap it, turn it on, ride on it \u2013to live an energetic life of inner richness. It is a very precious gift given to us by God or Existence.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At the lowest level, not in any condemnatory sense, this energy exists as sex or sexuality and at the highest level, the same energy manifests as super consciousness\u2013the ultimate ecstasy. What we need to understand that there is nothing wrong with energy in itself. It is simply waiting to be accepted as it is and to be\u00a0consciously\u00a0unblocked and consciously channelised in the right direction. Without conscious observation, it will go downward towards sexuality, lust, anger. And with consciousness, it will move towards love, compassion and sharing. It is our choice.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Yoga, Tao and Tantra have some methods of activating our dormant energy through simple process of breathing. In Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, the great Tantra-Yogi Shiva, talks only about methods of breathing as the basic sutras. One of the methods is: When in worldly activities, keep attention between two breaths, and so practicing, in a few days be born anew.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Becoming attentive of our breath is a powerful way to gently open our life energy flow. Conscious breathing allows us to fill our whole being with prana energy, makes us free from tensions tension and we transcend our limits. Conscious breathing floods our bloodstream with oxygen, which nourishes every cell of our body and fuels our inner fire. And with the process of deep rhythmic breathing, the sex energy goes through a process of transformation. It opens the doors towards mystical creativity.\u00a0 According to Osho: The moment you breathe deeply, sex energy is released; it has to be released. It has to flow all over your being\u2026 The work of Tantra is about embracing life to the fullest. It means expansion of awareness in an absolute \u201cYES\u201d to what already \u201cIS\u201d. Tantra is a method to explore our energy through self observation and conscious relating to heal and prepare the mystic union with the whole.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div>Osho teaches the transformation of energy from the lowest rung of the ladder to the highest rung\u2013from Sex to Superconsciousness. The single most important key to transformation of energy is conscious rhythmic breathing. He says:\u00a0 To transform sex into spirituality is my basic approach.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And Shiva gives the final sutra of breathing: With utmost devotion, centre on the two junctions of breath and know the knower.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a great calamity for the millions of people in the world\u2013one could even say, billions of people\u2013that they don\u2019t know how to be in tune with their own energy they are gifted with.
