Sex & Meditation Have the Same Affect On Your Brain
Vicki Howie | Chakraboosters.com
I recently discovered a study that suggests that orgasm has an affect on your brain that’s almost identical to meditation.
This means you can sit alone on a tiny cushion or jump into bed with your lover, and get similar benefits to your general zen-ness and overall brain bliss.
Very cool.
I’ve long considered sex to be a sacred act, and I’m excited that we now have a little bit of scientific proof.
The study, summarized in Scientific American, says similar regions light up in the right-brain during orgasm and meditation. But, according to the article, there is one key difference:
“Unlike meditation, orgasm seems a heightened sense of being within one’s body rather than the sense of being outside of it.”
As a lover of tantric philosophy, I just want to say — finally, there’s evidence that we can experience sacred bliss by going deeper into physical experience, rather than moving away from it.
The bias over a few thousands years of classical yogic thinking has been that “enlightenment” comes from moving away from one’s lower (temptation-oriented chakras) towards the upper, more “spiritual” chakras.
