1. The Power of the Senses
Our senses are how we perceive the world around us, including during intimate moments. Sensuality, which goes beyond basic perception, involves being deeply aware of your senses, leading to heightened pleasure.
Osho beautifully expresses the essence of sensuality:
"The alive man is sensuous. It means all his senses are functioning at the very peak. He sees better. ... His touch is alive; it is a language, it has a message. His energy is transferred to you, your energy is transferred to him." Sex Matters, Osho, p.195-196
To enhance your intimate experiences, practice sensuality in your daily life. By doing so, you can enrich even ordinary moments, making them more fulfilling. As Osho explains:
"...if you are sensuous enough, you will feel even ordinary things—clothes, a cold drink, a hot cup of tea or coffee, the smell of the coffee, the fragrance of tea boiling in the kettle... they will all make you richer, more and more alive. There is no limit to it." Sex Matters, Osho, p.197-198
Sensuality is about being fully present with your senses, and this awareness can transform simple experiences into moments of profound enjoyment.
2. The Importance of Breath
Breathing is often overlooked in intimate moments, but it plays a crucial role in deepening your connection and prolonging pleasure. Relaxed breathing not only enhances the quality of the experience but also helps extend its duration. The slower and calmer your breath, the longer you can sustain the moment, which allows for a deeper spiritual connection.
Osho explains:
"The faster one's breathing during intercourse, the shorter the duration of it; the calmer and more relaxed one's breathing, the longer the duration of the intercourse. If you can come to a totally relaxed breathing, the duration of intercourse can be prolonged to any extent." Sex Matters, Osho, p.80
By mastering relaxed breathing, you'll begin to uncover new depths of intimacy, unlocking layers of meaning and realization.
3. The Power of the Eyes
Osho suggests another way to extend intimate moments: focus your awareness between your eyes, where the third eye is said to reside. This practice shifts your energy inward, creating a deeper and more prolonged experience.
"If during the act of intercourse your awareness is focused between the eyes, where yoga says the third eye center is, the duration of lovemaking can be extended up to three hours." Sex Matters, Osho, p.80
Focusing on the third eye not only lengthens the experience but also helps channel sexual energy through your body, enhancing both physical pleasure and spiritual awakening.
4. The Role of Awareness
To transform your intimate experiences into something more profound, you must bring full awareness to the act. This mindfulness turns physical intimacy into a sacred experience, where the mind surrenders to a higher form of energy.
While it may seem paradoxical to lose yourself in bodily sensations while staying deeply aware, this balance anchors you in the present moment, allowing you to connect with your higher self.
As Osho explains:
"I teach you a new control: the control of the witnessing self... Move into sex but be a witness. The only thing to remember is: I must encounter the whole process, I must see through it, I must remain a witness, I should not become unconscious – that's all." Sex Matters, Osho, p.127
Sex, when approached with awareness, becomes a spiritual journey. By observing the experience as it unfolds, you maintain presence while enjoying the deep sensations.
"Become wild, but don't become unconscious. Then there is no danger in wildness; then wildness is beautiful. Really, only a wild man can be beautiful." Sex Matters, Osho, p.127
At its best, sex becomes a form of meditation, inviting you to relax and connect with your energetic being on a higher plane.
Conclusion
By incorporating these four simple, yet profound practices into your intimate moments—heightening your senses, mastering your breath, focusing your inner eye, and cultivating awareness—you can transform your experience into something truly sacred. Not only can these practices enhance the quality and duration of intimacy, but they also open the door to spiritual bliss.
