Refining Sexual Energy with the Cobra Breath

In the practice of Tantra Yoga, sexual energy is seen as a divine form of Spiritual energy in the body. This Sexual energy, so powerful it creates new life, is a super charged fuel that can be used consciously for transformation, healing and rejuvenation.
As a path of awakening to our Divine potential as Spiritual beings in human bodies, Tantra Yoga differs from many other spiritual paths. The focus of Tantra is the EMBODIMENT of the divine with practices that lead to the experience and celebration of Love and Cosmic Consciousness; here, now, within and without ourselves.
Tantra Yoga is said to be a fast path to enlightenment, but also dangerous because Tantra works in areas of the lower 3 Chakras where our unconscious dwells. The unconscious areas are where we have not yet brought the “light” of our awareness. By delving into these depths a seeker may stir up more than they bargained for and get side tracked. For this reason it is helpful to have friends, teachers and techniques, to assist you along the way.
Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga’s Cobra Breath is a safe and powerful way to awaken sexual energy (Kundalini) and direct it through the subtle energy channels of the body. These channels are analogous to small streams that have not had much water flowing through them. Because of the limited energy flow, these channels accumulate debris and sediment. As sexual energy is cultivated and consciously directed into these channels the old unconscious debris begins to get worked loose and moves up into our awareness.
Level 1 Cobra Breath specifically activates the 6th Chakra, the 3rd eye center, developing witness consciousness. Witness consciousness is the ability to maintain our center in the midst of emotional upheaval and chaos. Having a developed witness is imperative in the practice of Tantra yoga. One of our goals is to realize all of who we are as aspects of the Divine, the parts we like and the parts we do not like. We must be able to see beyond the unconscious beliefs, judgments & hurts, to the Divine in all things. In the dance of creation, the weaving of opposites, all things are within the heart of God when perceived from the witness consciousness. This awareness is like having a powerful light shine on the old sediments of unconscious beliefs and trauma, thus a seeker can move quickly along the Tantric path of awakening.
