Week 4
We normally think of orgasm as the perfect exclamation point at the end of great sex. But what about that post-sex glow? That aura of exhilaration we emit immediately after lift-off? Is there intimacy beyond orgasm?
There are two ways to experience orgasm. Most of us have experienced both. One is through striving - we tense our bodies in order to build sexual arousal to a peak. The other is through allowing - we relax in high states of arousal and orgasm emerges naturally. The first can be somewhat limiting and isolating, we turn our focus away from the experience we're having to achieve a goal. The second is more likely to be uniting, an experience that encompasses us and emerges from inside of us, creating an aura of intimacy that brings us closer - even when the sex we are having is solo - we are at one with the tranquil aliveness of life.
This is known as the Valley Orgasm. Valley orgasm invites us to feel more, on every level, while we, at the same time, relax and move beyond the orgasm and intimacy we are familiar with. We discover something new and our perceptions are transformed. We experience ourselves and our lover as a constant state of exhilaration. In this, we literally become the Spandakarika, the great mystery. The spontaneous vibration that everything in the universe is made of.

We'll continue this exploration tonight, December 1st.
When you arrive, please use the restrooms on the ground floor instead of the restroom in the loft. This will save huge amounts of time and create a much more pleasant flow for everyone. To access the downstairs restrooms: The main entrance to the main building (from the parking lot side) is the first door to the left of entrance to the elevator. There is a corridor that leads to the restaurants and directly after the hallway are two public restrooms on the left. No key is required and there are multiple stalls.

I'd Like to Introduce you to . . . Valley Orgasm
|
Sex Actualization . Tantra Practice Group
"In order to experience the timeless joy of ecstasy, you have to be willing to move beyond your natural attraction to genital orgasm and give up, at least temporarily, the intoxication explosive release. I am pointing to a way to transform the energy that is normally consumed in short-lived genital release in order to achieve a much more ecstatic and psychedelic form of orgasm. And I use the word psychedelic here in its true meaning: psyche-delos, "mind manifesting", showing forth the true dimensions of the self-spirit - that is, revealing a liberating, prolonged, even timeless form of orgasm involving your body, heart, mind and spirit."

Home Practice . Valley Orgasm . The First Steps
|
Sex Actualization . Tantra Practice Group
A practice for relaxing and moving beyond the orgasm and intimacy we are familiar with so that we may discover something new. So that our perceptions are transformed. To literally become the Spandakarika, the great mystery. The spontaneous vibration that everything in the universe is made of.
Valley Orgasm First Steps Practice
Find a place indoors or out in nature where you will not be disturbed. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.
Begin standing. Place your feet parallel and soften your knees. Feel your entire body relax.
Bring your attention to your belly and let it open out in front of you. Let your belly be open and fully relaxed. Notice your breathing, do not change it, simply give more space for it to be as it is, feel it. How can you be intimate with your breathing, the way you would be close to a lover?
Allow 2-3 minutes for this attunement. Are there inner struggles? Is it difficult to accept yourself as you are? Do you find you are lost in thoughts? How can you accept the thoughts without getting lost in them? Can you commit and be attentive to your body right now?
When you feel ready to continue, tip your pelvis slowly, forward and back. Imagine your pelvis dangling off your lower spine the way your hand dangles off your wrist. Can you relax so completely that your pelvis rotates forward and back smoothly, independent of the lower spine?
Let your shoulders melt toward the hips. Release the back of your thighs. Continue to rotate and tip the pelvis forward and back, forward and back, breathing naturally, letting the belly out. Give yourself at least 3-5 minutes for this stage of the practice.
Then, relax your sexual muscles. Feel your sexual energy. Allow this energy to fill your body. You may experience many thoughts during this process - it may feel uncomfortable or impossible to access your sexual energy without a partner or without stimulation - notice these thoughts if they arise and continue the practice. Allow 5-7 minutes to explore filling your body with sexual energy.
You are releasing tensions that may have limited your experience of orgasm, tensions in the lower spine and belly that sequester sexual arousal in the genitals, leading to an outward explosive orgasm. You are developing an awareness of the internal body. You are creating an inner vessel for sexual energy. You are opening an inner path for orgasm. The Valley Orgasm first fills the pelvis with arousal, then moves upward, filling the entire body. This may not happen the first several times you practice . . . give it time. Soon, you will discover that orgasm is not only a peak, it can be a valley as well.

Feedback and Q&A
Please send me your questions - what's happening in your life? Thanks to those of you who checked in with me after the class - and - those of you out there in our world-wide community who chimed in.
If you don't see your question here, fear not. All questions submitted will be answered over the coming weeks.
Dear Dawn,
Thank you again for another beautiful workshop session last night.
I woke up this morning and during meditation a question came up for me I wanted to get your advice on. In the last segment of the exercise last night, "spooning and breathing", I started feeling overwhelmed with the energy flowing through my body. There was the sense of loosing control over my body which have not felt very often before. The breathing and focus on my sexual organs and feeling the other person's response was extremely strong, I felt deeply connected, felt and understood energetically (if that makes sense). How is this possible with a person I hardly know and have spoken to only for brief moments so far?
My intention going into the workshop has been to further explore and understand and "control" my sexual energy, and to turn it inward as a powerful life source. Is there something I don't understand or that I am not doing quite right. My quest is to gain control and instead I appear to loosing it.
I would love to hear your take on this.
Much Love, Kurtis

Dear Dawn,
I have been with my husband for a few years now and while I still love him, I feel guilty that during lovemaking, I am fantasizing or thinking of anything else other than having sex with my husband. I don't know if he is aware and I would hate it if the roles were reversed. I don't even feel it is deliberate. I simply just zone out. How can I become more present and connected to him?
Thank you, Barbara

Tips for getting the most out of class each week . . .
|
Sex Actualization . Tantra Practice Group
Some tips for getting the most out of the Sex Actualization . Tantra Practice Group . . .
- Give yourself 15 minutes extra for your commute. If it takes you 30 minutes to get to Marina del Rey, leave your office by 6:15 pm to arrive and find parking by 7:00 pm.
- When you do arrive and find parking, take 2 minutes, sit in your car and make a transition. Let go of the work day and traffic. Turn off your cell phone - don't just mute it - turn it off. Begin to bring your focus to you, your sexuality and your sexual journey. Start class inside yourself before you even get out of the car.
- Pause again at the door. Take off your shoes and leave them outside next to the door or place them in your backpack or purse and bring them inside.
- Enter the space consciously. In silence.
- Please do not wear synthetic perfumes or colognes, many people are allergic.
- If you're able to arrive early, we'd be thrilled to get some help moving furniture, lighting candles, showering the space with rose petals and basically creating heaven on earth, 6:45-7:00 pm.
- Enter the space silently and take your space in the circle. Give yourself time to land.
- Notice if you're always sitting in the same place each week, or if you've decided you need back support and always sit near the wall - be open to something new.
- Listen to the music during the silent meditation with your whole body.
- Modify the practices in any way that makes it possible for you to participate more fully. If you have a boundary or injury that needs extra care, please take time to create the best situation possible for yourself and your partners.
- Unless you're already involved with someone in the class, I suggest you consider not dating anyone in class - until the series is over. This applies to getting together for practice sessions between the classes too - wait until the series is over, practice on your own for now. The virtues of this one tip alone are infinite.
- Ask questions. (I love questions.)
- Make requests. (I love requests.)
- Send music suggestions. (I love music suggestions.)
- Treat yourself and every member of the group as someone precious - I can promise you, each one of you is.
- At the end of class, take a moment to fully savor all you have experienced and received.
- If you're up for helping out with getting all the furniture back in place, we'd love your assistance.
- Be sure to collect all your belongings and be out the door no later than 9:50 pm.
- No woman leaves on her own. Please, couples and men, offer your arm to the single women in the class. Walk her to her car, offer to carry her things if you feel to. See her off safely into the night.
- Allow 5-10 minutes each day for your home practice.
