so if one is going to practice masturbation without ejaculating, is there anything that must be done aside from clenching the pelvic muscles immediately before ejaculation..? like is there anything else you need to do to help the energy circulate..

ok, but why would you recommend not doing it? i know it builds up and just gets stronger, but isn't that kind of what we're aiming for here? and if you do slip out and let out a load once who cares? haha!

Oh I didn't know you were looking at it in that perspective I was just saying if you don't want to be challenged so much by it (assuming you were doing the challenge which I don't know now if you are or not) don't give it attention a lot and ok, do what you will. I personally do it for other reasons and to each his own.

Good luck with everything! Blessings to ya.

what the hell are you talking about? that would be cool if you wanted to explain!

i am doing the challenge. and you do what for other reasons?

does anyone know if it's worthwhile to practice masturbation while still retaining da semen?

When you masturbate, it causes your energy to align with the sacral chakra. This is due to the sexual energy that is released from masturbation. It emerges and expands more and more into the sacral until you release it by either moving it up or ejaculating. This is not a bad thing in anyway as it causes you to ground more, release emotional problems and even causes a healthy mind in the stress/anxiety department.

However, with that said, it also causes your energy to have dropped a bit, from say, the heart/throat/third eye chakra. When you refrain from masturbation and release that energy in meditation or through art rather than indulge in it's lower chakra activities, it causes an increased compassion, a better way of expressing the self and you become more in tuned with your psychic abilities. This is neither better or worse but some need to raise it up to their higher chakras in order to fulfill a task here on this plane of existence. The more you keep it sacred and wholesome, the more you become in tuned with not just your sacral (which is good to be in tuned to it!) but with all your systems of power, causing a greater awareness of all planes of existence.

This picture is a good one I just found by googling Kundalini:



When you allow the Kundalini to rise up, past the sacral and into the crown/third-eye, it causes you to have activated the full potential of ALL of your chakras. Masturbation and releasing will most always drop the Kundalini back down into the sacral, even thoughts and engaging with thoughts of lower densities and/or chakras will cause this drop or "groundedness".

It all depends on what you have chosen to believe because of this incarnations experiences but I have come to observe certain things I have been shown so that is my interpretation. Doesn't mean it is true or false for you, just what is for me.

Love/Blessings

very interesting, thank you much for the reply

so how does one move that energy upwards from the sacral?

Meditation really. I mean, there are many ways to go about it, you can do it yourself and there are many ways. One way I found useful before the envisioning and doing became easier was the old sanskrit mantras for each chakra. Root chakra is VAM, sacral is LAM, solar plexus is RAM, heart chakra is HAM, throat is YAM, third eye is AUM (or OM) and crown chakra is AM. You start at the lowest frequency you can go until it resonates, then raise the frequency a bit each chakra until it resonates with the chakra. It might not feel like it works at first but after a few times I started to see it rise.

Other ways would be to work on your higher chakras until the energy has cleared the sacral and you will feel and see less sexual images and thoughts along with a lowered sex drive. This can be done by doing more healthy things for your being. Eating healthy, doing yoga and exercising, reading to expand your knowledge on the self and from there outwards. Meditation is probably the most powerful as it deals with the silent truth within, which elaborates into the outward illusion.

If you need specifics, let me know.

Love and blessings.

oh and breathing is really vital. don't forget to breathe deeply and fully. some things I found with breathing to be helpful is breath into the chakra and breathe out to move the energy higher. breathe into that chakra and repeat. also, filling your abdomen with air, then the stomach and then the lungs (like a 3 phase in one breathing) is a really useful one as well. breathing through the nose is the most powerful for me but it used to be that i couldn't breathe deeply with the nose so i had to breathe in with the nose and out the mouth for a bit to clear out my lungs then it got deeper.

a lot of stuff about this, too much to even begin to dent without a question to frame it
