Tantric technique: Arousing Sexual Energy

Aswini Mudra (gesture of the horse)
 This practice generates intense energy in the lower body while keeping it contained. This builds up pressure in the energy channels. Once the containment is released, that pressurized energy shoots up the spine, breaking through any blocks or restrictions.
Aswini Mudra is an ancient system of massage consisting of dynamic contractions of the anal sphincter muscle which spread forward into the genitals (high in the vagina for women). This is a very powerful technique to pump the energy up into Manipura (3rd Chackra). The contractions are mild, but rapid.

• Sit on your heel or on a rolled up towel or tennis ball so pressure is felt on Muladhara Chakra (between genitals and anus for men, on clitoris for women).
• Fill the lungs about 1/3 full. Contract and relax the anus 10 times, about twice per second.
• Continue inhaling another 1/3. Contract and relax 10 more times.
• Inhale the last 1/3. Contract and relax the last 10 times.
• Hold the breath and contraction pull the shoulders forward and press the chin against the chest for a moment. Feel the heat and hydraulic pressure build up. Take a sniff of air lifting the chin and exhale through the nose as you relax the shoulders and the contraction. Feel an energy flush through the entire body. Visualize the energy moving up he spine. Perform Aswini 3 times. After some practice you can increase the number of contractions, up to 20 maximum.
