Lesson
T63 - Natural Vajroli and Amaroli (Audio)
From: Yogani

New Visitors:
It is recommended you read from the beginning of this tantra yoga archive,
as previous lessons are prerequisite to this one. The first lesson is, "What
is tantra yoga?"
As
we have discussed in previous lessons, vajroli is a practice described in
the Hatha Yoga Pradipika,
and involves the drawing up of sexual fluids inside the body. In the AYP
system of practices we do not go to the
mechanical
extremes that are described in this ancient
treatise on yoga. Rather, natural vajroli is achieved through a full range
of yoga practices, including deep meditation, spinal breathing pranayama,
asanas, mudras, bandhas, tantric sexual techniques, and other methods.
By natural
vajroli, we mean a natural drawing up of
sexual essences through the urethra into the bladder and through many
pathways upward in the neurobiology. This natural upward migration of vital
essences gradually evolves to become an
ongoing experience in the life of the
spiritual practitioner. This process occurs in both men and women, and is an
integral part of the rise of full-time ecstatic conductivity in the body,
which evolves further to become ecstatic radiance going out beyond the body.
In conjunction with this evolution in the sexual
neurobiology, it may be observed that there is a gradual internalization of
amaroli to become, to some degree, an automatic recycling within, which can
result in less outflow of
urine. While there is no scientific
verification of the internal recirculation of urine via natural vajroli, it
has been observed in enough cases to be worthy of mention. It is well known
that urination can become irregular with the awakening and advancement of
kundalini (ecstatic conductivity). Whether
a kind of
amaroli
(recirculation in the body of urine from the bladder)
plays a role in this evolution is not known. It
will suffice to say that there is a relationship between amaroli and vajroli.
This is pointed to in the Hatha Yoga
Pradipika, and has been observed in
practitioners in modern times, as well. Indeed some practitioners who adhere
closely to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika,
sometimes
insist that "real
amaroli"
is more about recirculation
of urine via vajroli than
about
consuming urine for medicinal and spiritual purposes in the more commonly
known way, as we have discussed in
Lesson 319.
It is only a matter of semantics. The truth is
that amaroli as we have discussed it in Lesson
319, and amaroli as a possible aspect of
natural vajroli,
both have a role to play in promoting our
spiritual
progress.
In the case of natural
vajroli, the integrated application of a full range of yoga practices over
the long term gives rise to this phenomenon more than anything else. The
changes in subtle
neurobiology discussed in the
AYP lessons do not occur overnight, which
is why a balanced daily routine of practices that can be sustained over time
is advised.
The guru is in you.
