Yogani wrote in the "Sticky" above:
"In AYP we engage in practices that gradually awaken our inner energies in a balanced way. The main practices for this are pranayama, mudras, bandhas and certain asanas. Tantric sexual practices play an important role in the awakening of the inner energies as well. Meditation and samyama stimulate the awakening at very refined levels in the nervous system (the level of pure bliss consciousness), which is essential for the enlightenment connection to occur. The natural outcome of all this is a gradual awakening of an abiding inner ecstasy throughout the nervous system -- and we call that "ecstatic conductivity." The blending of this with our rising inner silence gives rise to the alchemy of enlightenment. The end result is a combined state of unshakable inner silence, ecstatic bliss and outpouring divine love."
It has been a long time since I have visited the AYP support forums, but I've been enjoying the life of "ecstatic conductivity" so much lately that I wanted to come back and say thanks. I think Yogani's teaching above is brilliant and balanced, simple, but useful.
I find that there has been more for me to learn lately about conductivity "throughout the nervous system" -- there always seems to be new channels opening up when I am doing my spinal breathing during a state of high Kundalini arousal.
One of the main learnings of late is how to welcome extreme prolonged pre-orgasmic pleasure through refining my use of breath and attention. Breath can become relatively more shallow and infrequent. My tendency in extreme pleasure is to zone out on the brow. Better, I am finding, to keep coming back to the root as the flow of energy circulates.
The energy alone in the present moment is always conducive to inner silence. Noisy thoughts may arise, just return to the energy.
In the past I have been into "orgasm without ejaculation" but now I am seeing the wisdom of Yogani saying that such a practice is a step along the way. No need to intentionally trigger non-ejaculatory orgasm. The energy is ample without it.
In the past I have refrained from waking orgasm for prolonged periods, and found that I enjoyed wet dreams. I found them less draining. Somewhere along the line that changed. I think it was when I started having dreams I found disturbing. Now I am enjoying waking orgasms again, but not so frequent that I don't also have the occasional wet dream, and I like the balance. I'm not sure why, stage of life perhaps, improved relationship with my partner perhaps, but waking orgasms aren't so draining as they once seemed.
Love, and joy.
That's where I'm at now.
Best regards.

Yogani has written elsewhere:
"Sometimes we may tend to think of our kundalini situation as a spiritual badge, or something like that. We might even be inclined to hang on to it. It can be that all-consuming, particularly with limited presence of the witness (inner silence). But it is only a transitional stage, one that we'd like to bring to its refined condition of loving ecstatic bliss as soon as possible. Then we can get on with the real business of enlightenment, which is the unending outpouring of divine love. That is stillness in action, our inner silence flying on the wings of mature ecstatic conductivity and radiance (kundalini) for the benefit of all. This is a condition of rising unity -- non-duality."
Yogani's insight is excellent. It is evidence of a "refined condition of loving ecstatic bliss" Yes.

Yes, that dude has been around the block.
I am very impressed with Yogani's insights and I'm happy to have found the AYP site  |
