Trying to raise my vibrations...

I've begun ritual mantras and ceased masturbation. Also I am watching swami videos daily. Anyone else have input?
Peace to you all.

Don't give up masturbation. The idea of no sex is an old and bogus one. Mantras, baths, hatha, balanced diet. You want to lighten up then fucking lighten up. Don't get all annoyingly serious. Don't be a dick. Focusing on not masturbating to raise your vibe is like eating carrots to take a better shit.

Have you tried a vibrating chair? Better than having a seizure! Masturbation is just 'milking the Cowpers.' It does not have to be compulsive and addictive. I use about 2 minutes of cell phone time per month. It isn't the phone that's the problem, it's the compulsion that multitudes of cell phone zombies develop that is the problem. Masturbation can be clinical. It is not compulsory to masturbate as it is to urinate or defecate, but it can be viewed as a hygienic process. It also effects a psychic discharge, much like dreams do. I don't know if you're aware of the practices of both Kundalini Yoga and Tibetan Tantric Yoga wherein one either visualizes a 'maiden of about 16, with fully formed breasts...etc., or, one identifies with a Dakini/Khadoma (if one is a straight male), usually of fiery red color. In these practices, sexual stimulation is intended, but instead of discharging energy at the Root Center (1st & 2nd chakra combined), one intends for the energy to enter the Sushumna and 'rise.' Unfortunately, this process cannot be the result of one's egoic yearnings. If you read Gopi Krishna's later works, he explains that the spontaneity of this kind of arousal cannot be forced.
Also, the tantric yogic practices, or the 'Yogas of Form' in Buddhist Yoga, are not everyone's path. I discovered rather late in life that the formless yogas of Mahamudra, or even Dzogchen, make far more sense to yogis of today. Mahamudra is pretty much what Eckhart Tolle teaches. It has nothing to do with 'energies' (prana, qi), but has everything to do with Being, which in tantric practices are symbolized by the Union of Opposites (like Kundalini-Shakti rising to the abode of Shiva, or the flaming syllable A rising up the Sushumna to met with the white bindu HAM, which forms AHAM, the 'I AM' experience of pure Light.
I've known yogis and practiced yoga, sometimes with utter dedication to diet, brahmacarya (celibacy), sleeping in North-South position for alignment to the Earth's magnetic lines of force, sleeping on my left to keep my Solar-Pingala channel open, etc., etc., etc. since 1973. I have had subtle experiences, but not profound experiences unless psychedelics were involved. Tantricism is one path, and a rarely attained one because it isn't up to us to choose it just because it seems fascinating (I first learned of this in the early 70s, in the movie Woodstock where a hippy with a long braid is teaching Kundalini Yoga). Our karmic proclivities choose the path for us. John Woodruff [Sir Arthur Avalon - The Serpent Power, Shakti and Shakta] pointed out that the paths to Self-Realization are varied, and tantricism is NOT absolutely necessary. Sri Ramana Maharshi's model is not concerned with the astral sheath, the chakras and channels. His model recognizes a causal sheath phenomenon of the Heart and head, with the Amrit Nadi connecting Sun to Moon, Heart to Head. It is a deeper or higher 'vibration' of Reality if that is what you seek.
Masturbation, retention of semen, etc., ll has to do with the tantric model which focuses on energies, not on Being. Sri Chinmoy wrote a little book called Kundalini: The Mother Power, in which he likens the astral phenomenon to the turbulence of the surface of the sea, or like frolicking in the shallows on the shore. Self-Realization at the Hridayam is a more profound level of Realization, and has nothing to do with the Anahata chakra model, as one of 7 astral centers in the sukshma sarira, or astral sheath. As Neem Karolie Baba used to say to Ram Dass: "If you want to raise the Kundalini, love everybody." This is not a bhakti thing necessarily. I am an INTP and not a feeling person. Love is not an emotion, it is an intention for the well-being of self and others. Manifesting love is by Compassion in Action. Compassion is disinterested warmth, so-to-speak. Want to raise your vibratory level? Act out of selfless service to others. Seek no recompense. Allow compassion to govern your instinctual and social motives (mammalian tendencies). Keep an open Hridayam both for others, and for the descent of transpersonal consciousness from On High.

If anyone can give you the real what's up with masturbation, it's me. I stopped masturbating march 5 of 2012 and only masturbated 15-20 at the most since. I found huge benefits after a short time, and still getting benefits from stopping - more confidence, energy, charisma, etc
Also, just some suggestions for raising vibrations: try to avoid very sugary drinks and food, get some exercise every day - the more the better, try some meditation (if you've never meditated I suggest trying a guided meditation)
