Anyone else notice meditation seems to boost libido?
Mine has always been pretty low even when I was a teenager, now that my meditations have been getting deeper I feel very intense libido increases. Is this healthy/normal? |

| Sounds healthy to me. I seem to have the opposite. Your results may vary... |

Hi Guardian
It's been up and down for me. I went through a patch where I had hardly any libido, and then it came back with a vengeance. Now it's settling down again.
If your libido is getting a bit too much some cardio might help. Doing weights might make it worse as that can increase your testosterone quite a bit. Or maybe not. You'll have to do some experimenting.

| Definitely, meditation increases my libido - though it was shocking to me at first. I started meditating in a very anti-sex tradition (vipassana) where the idea was to calm and still all desires, especially (it seemed) sexual ones. Of course, a likely reason my libido would increase in the 10-day silent meditation retreats could be that I wasn't having "any sexual activity at all" - including masturbation, so naturally the sexual energy builds up. At least it does for me. In fact, it built up to such an extent that I had an explosive kundalini awakening - without the slightest sexual thought or object of desire - on the 9th day of my second 10-day retreat. I had to figure out how to deal with that - a quest that led me to this site, which has been a godsend. Keep exploring! This site and its methods will help you work with that energy and channel it toward spiritual growth and the benefit of others. It's vital and beautiful! I wish you well on that journey. |

Hard to say really. Overall, meditation with the energy practices seem to balance it, helping out everything from tantric practices to the ability to sleep.
