How to feel the elements of nature as sexual energies in your body
Everything is made up of the five elements - earth water fire wind and space. In a sexual experience, if we focus and stay connected to our breath and to the sensations in our bodies, we can feel the elements as energy moving through us, creating varying effects. What do the elements of nature feel like as sexual energies in our bodies?
Think about the way these elements would move in nature:
earth ~ slow moving mud, mudslide, landslide, earthquake
water ~ trickle, stream, flow, wave, deluge, river rapid, hurricane, tsunami
fire ~ warm diffuse heat, focalized burn, intense heat wave, raging forest fire
wind ~ tickling, gentle breeze, strong gust, tornado
space ~ stillness
Now imagine, what would these experiences feel like inside of your own body? As you can see, there is a vast array of what you might experience. Sometimes, the energy builds from gentle to strong, building up to an orgasmic natural phenomenon. Other times, the energy transmutes from one form to another as it moves through your being.
If your orgasms and sexual energy are focalized in your genitals, you can still feel these energies, although they are much more perceptible if you relax your body and use your breath to move your sexual energy throughout your body.
You can also visualize each element as corresponding to a chakra within your human body. Each of these chakras is a natural place of origin for each of these elemental energies, so connecting with these different areas of your body can help you to attune to what these energies feel like. Also, breathing into these places during a sexual experience can awaken the elemental energies which reside there:
1st ~ root ~ earth
2nd ~ sacral ~ water
3rd ~ solar plexus ~ fire
4th ~ heart ~ wind
5th ~ throat ~ space
You can also see that the elements, in the above order, have relative densities, beginning with the most dense (earth) to the least dense (space). This is helpful to remember because one of the qualities you can most easily sense with sexual energy is the density of it.
To offer you an experiential point of reference, here are some specific ways I have experienced elemental energy as sexual pleasure and/or orgasm in my body:
Earth energy ~ dense and slow moving, like honey, with a depth and richness to it. Rolling and long lasting, creating a feeling of stability and grounding.
Water energy ~ like waves flowing through me. Very feminine and sensuous, creating a feeling of softening, relaxation and inner fluidity.
Fire energy ~ hot energy shooting through me, bringing intense tingly sensations and to my arms legs hands and feet. Fast moving and masculine, creating a feeling of powerfulness.
Wind energy ~ a gentle, light and airy energy. Feels somewhat flirtatious and playful. Cooling and enlivening. Creates a feeling of lightness.
Space energy ~ inner stillness and spaciousness. Total quietude of the mind. Calm, meditative and otherworldly. Creates a feeling of nirvana.
The potential for how you may experience each of these elements as energies in your body is as variable as how you may experience any of them outside of yourself in the natural world. You may also experience combinations of elemental energies so the possibilities are endless.
The elements already exist within you, it is simply about tuning into them. The tuning in will deepen your connection to your own body, to your lover and to all of nature.
