    How do you view sex? Yes, a loaded question I know, but it’s an important one.
     

    Do you think of sex as something that feels solely physically good? Do you think it’s something that brings you and your partner(s) together? Do you think sex is simply a necessity?

     

    Well, some believe that sex is a spiritual experience, and I have to say, I’m inclined to agree with them!
     

    Sex and spirituality, whatever that type of spirituality may be, are indefinitely intertwined. Yes, of course, you can get your rocks off with someone you’ve just picked up in a bar and won’t see again. But, even that, at the most cellular level, is a merging of two bodies, minds, and souls.

     

    If we look just a little deeper - past the porn, vulgar conversations and rosters - we’re likely to come to the realisation that sex really is about something deeper.
     

    Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t have casual sex or have strict views on sex - absolutely not! However, what I am saying is that once you look more closely at sex and spirituality, and combine the two, your sex life might just be changed forever!
     

    In this article we’re going to take a look at spiritual sexuality, the difference between spiritual sex and tantric sex, and how you can explore spiritual sex solo and with a partner.

     

    Keen to get a little more sacred? Let’s dive in.

    what do we mean by spirituality? 

    Before we dive into the relationship between sex and spirituality, it’s important that we first define what we’re talking about when we say “spirituality”. We are not discussing a specific religion, set of beliefs, or certain practices.

     

    Rather, we’re talking about the essence of spirituality: that you are connected to something bigger than yourself. In this context of sex and spirituality, we will be honing in on sacred sex.

     

    If something is sacred, it means that it has the ability to take you to a more transcendent moment of some sort. Therefore, it provides you with a spiritual experience: it brings you to feel as if you are connected with something bigger than yourself.

     

    Whilst different religions, practices, and sets of beliefs have varied views on sex, when it comes down to looking at the connection between sex and spirituality as a whole, there’s a clear and undeniably powerful connection.

    sex and spirituality: what’s the connection? 

    Having sex with someone is one of the most powerful ways, if not the most powerful way, that you can connect with them. 
     

    Two human beings, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender, are coming together to be completely vulnerable with each other and bring one another to heights of pleasure that can’t be experienced in other ways.

     

    Additionally, sex is one of the most basic yet fundamental desires of humans, sitting right beside our need to feel like we are part of something more powerful than what we know: these two aspects, when brought together consciously, can be transformational.

     

    The conscious choice of spiritual sex is also important - whilst you might regard all sex as a spiritual experience, each time you have sex might not be sacred. However, you can cultivate a spiritual sexual connection with yourself and your partner(s) by exploring sex in certain ways and with a specific attitude.

    spiritual sex vs tantric sex

    When most people hear about spiritual sex their mind immediately jumps to tantric sex and whilst tantric sex is certainly very powerful in its own right, you don’t have to practice tantric sex to experience spiritual sex.

     

    Tantric sex is part of tantra, a spiritual philosophy that originated in India and has roots in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The philosophy suggests that spiritual enlightenment can be found when weaving, or integrating, all of the parts of yourself together, and tantric sex is a powerful part of that. Tantric sex involves specific practices, routines, and even positions.

     

    However, spiritual sex isn’t assigned a specific religion or practice and there are no specific elements to spiritual sex. Instead, it relates to the individual exploring spirituality and finding sacred moments in sex, in whatever way they want to.

    how to explore spiritual sex solo

    So, you’ve decided that you want to step into your spiritual sexual power but you want to explore your own sacred sexuality before sharing it with someone else: here are 5 things you can do to explore spiritual sex solo.

     

    Step into your divine sexual power

     

    It’s easy to jump straight into self-pleasure and simply race to the finish line, but if you want to invite an element of spirituality in, you have to take it slow. The first thing you should do, before even touching yourself, is take a few breaths, feel your sexual energy rising up inside of you, connect with your soul, and take a moment to embrace and realise that you’re a divine sexual being.

     

    Create a sacred environment

     

    Creating an environment that feels sacred is an important part of spiritual sex, so make sure you take some time to prepare your space. Whether you want to de-clutter, light some candles, burn some incense, or bring a special trinket into the room, make sure it feels out-of-this-world, before getting down to anything.

     

    Practice mindfulness and focus on breath 

     

    When you do start to explore your body, make sure you’re taking it slow and that you’re staying in the moment, truly connecting your body with your mind. Focusing on your breath and the exact physical sensations you’re experiencing can help you support the mind-body connection and increase the pleasure you’re giving yourself.

     

    Build your own spiritual ritual into sex 

     

    Whether you want to say something, have a specific piece of sacred music playing in the background, hold your hand over your heart chakra, or envision something in your mind, try to bring your own idea of spirituality into your experience by creating a certain sacred ritual.

     

    Experience a sacred orgasm

     

    Orgasms have immense energy. So, utilise that energy and draw it inwards. When you orgasm, close your eyes, visualise drawing in the orgasmic energy into your heart, and make sure you release your breath in the wild, divine way that makes you feel your best. 

     

    how to have spiritual sex with a partner

    Whilst you should definitely follow all of the steps mentioned above when you’re with your partner (yes, create the sacred space, bring a ritual into the bedroom, and revel in the energy of a sacred orgasm with your partner too) there are also a few things you can do to have spiritual sex with a partner.

     

    Let’s take a look at 5 of them.

     

    Consciously see your partner as a divine being

     

    Don’t let a little niggle from earlier in the day get in the way of a sacred night with your partner. Instead, consciously take a moment to decide to see them as a divine sexual being, just as you see yourself. Let go of the day-to-day and start seeing them as the divine person you’re about to experience sacred sex with.

     

    Take time to prepare your body

     

    Take time showering or bathing, and then prepare your body for sacred sex in a way that truly makes you feel your most sensual, whether that means getting into a special set of lingerie, spritzing on some perfume, or styling your hair.

     

    Cultivate peace and mindfulness with your partner 

     

    Take a moment with your partner before even touching each other sexually to breathe deeply into each other, look at each other, and pull your focus towards each other. Tantric sex practices such as soul gazing can be incredibly impactful in cultivating mindfulness between partners.

     

    Use essential crystals, oils and candles 

     

    If you and your partner would like to bring certain rituals or objects into your sacred sexual experience, that is a great idea. Whether you use a sensual essential oil to massage each other, bring crystals or crystal toys into play, or simply light your favourite candle together whilst taking a moment to be grateful, anything that adds to the sacred energy between the two of you is a bonus.

     

    Indulge in special aftercare

     

    Once you and your partner have explored each other’s bodies and souls (and had some pretty great sacred orgasms), it’s important to take time to unwind together and indulge in each other’s post-sex energy. Whether you lay on your partner’s lap and discuss what you experienced or you continue to massage one another, take a few moments to enjoy the energy in the room and reflect on what you experienced, together.
