embracing your innate beauty and perfection
The upward movement of sexual energy
Humans are designed to experience altered states of consciousness during sexual union – states that engender a blissful union with the whole of existence. In this orgasmic ability we differ from our friends in the animal kingdom. Our bodies come with the innate capacity to expand energetically from the sexual centre. When correctly harnessed this expansion results in altered states of consciousness: valleys of ecstatic relaxation and peaks of orgasmic expression.
To be continued…. (by the way, this piece was not my work. Am copying it out of a book I’m reading.)

Sounds very nice, but don’t those intimate moments, even with conscious intent, gradually devolve into merely being physical exchanges – ie not that different from the other species? If not the first time, then after a few? Aren’t the triguna difficult to go beyond? If we’re not consciously aware to begin with, how do stay conscious? Just some questions the come up for me. Hopefully you’ll help me get through them.

This one is a bit more tricky. I perhaps need to add the rest of the article before exploring what you say. But will give it my two cents worth for now.
I haven’t had a lot of practise at watching how the expanding experience can repeat itself within one relationship. I’ve known it to be very real, in general. The degree to which I have experienced what she writes about, makes me doubt that there’s any need for a devolution to occur (nice new word there!)
Once one has tasted ecstatic bliss flowing outwardly from within, why would one want to revert to a “mere physical exchange?” Not that physical exchanges aren’t delicious too! But if you consider them less desirable, you avoid them. If you want them, you have them. That’s how it’s been for me. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t.
I love Odier’s piece where he writes the following: “To have been touched in this way restores to the body its sacred vibration and will sometimes render it intolerably sensitive to all the “programmed” contact of unaware partners. From that moment on, the body will insist on being approached with veneration and true presence.”
Tell me/us about triguna? Can’t seem to find an explanation of it online. Not sure if I could go beyond or not :) A wild guess would be that it perhaps has something to do with sensory awareness? Or rather, lack of awareness due to sensory overload? I look forward to hearing from you on that.
I don’t think one can stay conscious if one isn’t conscious. Are you meaning if we’re not born conscious, how to achieve or maintain conscious awareness? Difficult yes :) Is that not the path?
