You ah, sex. Who doesn't lovetalking about sex one of my
(00:36):
favorite topics. Anyway, I wasreading a couple of different
articles recently, and it got methinking. And this is a topic
that I've been thinking about alot in the last couple of years,
but specifically I wanted totalk about sexual energy
transfer. When you think abouthaving sex with someone, I'm
(00:56):
sure most people, I would thinknot a lot of people think about
this, but we're all made up ofenergy, and when you have sex
with somebody, there's atransfer of energy, sexual
energy, that goes between bothpeople. If you're in a high
vibration and a good mood andpositive and all of that, and
you have sex with somebody who'sa low vibrational person, who's
(01:21):
insecure and negative and hasthose traits, it does affect
you. There's there's a transferof energy. The high vibrational
person gets kind of pulled downto the low vibration level, and
a low vibrational person will beuplifted to the high vibration I
don't think it's an extreme fromlow to high and high to low. I
(01:42):
think it's sort of like you getpulled up or down. I'm sure
there are varying levels ofthat, but, you know, I don't
think many people reallyconsider this. But anyway, when
you have pure intentions andit's a loving exchange and
caring and, you know, mutualrespect and stuff like that. It
can be an amazing experiencethat adds to your energy and it
(02:07):
really uplifts you. But theconverse happens too, when it's
not a loving union and you'rejust in it for the sex, and
maybe you want to get somethingfrom the other person, or your
intentions may not be so pure,or you're not as respectful, or
anything like that. It canreally hinder your energy,
(02:29):
probably more so the personthat's being taken from than the
person who's gaining whateverthey're seeking from this, this
exchange. But you understandwhat I'm saying. And the thing
is, spiritually, there's there'slike a binding that happens with
these two souls. You may notthink of that or be aware of
(02:50):
that, but that's what happenswhen you are that intimate with
somebody. You're enteringsomebody's energy field and
their aura and all of that. Andthere's like a soul contract
that happens between two people,and a lot of things are affected
by it, and having that tetherbetween you also transmits
(03:11):
energies between the two of you.
I mean, the last thing you wantis to have sex with somebody
who's super toxic and you'renot. And now you leave that
encounter and you start feelingand embodying those traits. And
it doesn't have to be soextreme, but it it could be
enough that it affects you. AndI think a lot of people don't
(03:34):
necessarily make thatconnection, but I've taken this
topic so much more seriously inthe last five years, since
that's the last time I had sexwith my husband, is the last
person I've had sex with. So forthe last five years, I've really
thought about, you know, whatwould it be like to have sex
with someone new and a stranger?
(03:58):
And you know, a lot of peoplehave told me during this time of
my divorce and separation andall of that that, you know,
now's the time to have fun andgo crazy and whore it up and all
that stuff. And that's neverbeen me. I was never a one night
stand kind of person. I wasnever a casual sex kind of
(04:19):
person. I was always, you know,in it for the relationship and
sex with the relationship, andthat's just always been who I
am. So I'm not looking at thistime as like a Get Out of Jail
Free card where I can just gocrazy and have sex with whoever
I want. I'm sure if I wanted todo that, I could, but that's not
(04:40):
where I ever wanted to go. So Ido think about the next person
that I have sex with, and youknow what skeletons are in their
closet and what paths they had,and how many partners they've
had and and how energeticallyclean those people may have been
or not. You know, and, and I'min such a high vibrational state
(05:04):
right now that I don't want totarnish that. I don't want to
bring my energy down, because apartner I choose has has a jaded
past that I don't know about, orsomething like that. And, you
know, it's very easy to go downthis rabbit hole of but at the
same time, it's like, you know,I want to protect my energy too,
and I would hope that the nextpartner I have is somebody that
(05:25):
cares about me enough to protectmy energy as well.
So what does it feel like whenyou're in tune with energy, and
you're sensitive to it, and youpick up on things and and you
(05:47):
maybe you want to raise yourvibration and sensitivity to
energy so that you understandenergy that's going to be good
for you and energy that's notgoing to be good for you. I
mean, we all notice people'senergy, whether we're really in
touch with it or not. We allpick up on it. Think about it.
You're on a train and somebody'sgot their feet up on the seat
(06:07):
across from you, and you youknow automatically, you feel
anger towards them, or you feelunjustified somehow that they're
able to do that when you don't.
Or you're sitting in an airplaneand the person who's taking up
the middle seat is a largerperson, and it's inconveniencing
you with the amount of space youhave in your seat. And you know,
(06:29):
we all feel people's energy. Soyou know, you could be walking
past someone on the street andyou just get, like, a dirty
sense from them, or you get theick about somebody that you
don't know, and you pass by andyou just, you know you feel
this, but you don't know whyyou're feeling it. And my answer
to that is is this is likelysomething that they picked up
(06:54):
from somebody else, or theythemselves are just like that,
and their energy is is passingyou, but because it's in such a
small dose, you may feel it fora few minutes, and then it goes
away, and it's no big deal. Butwhen you're think about, you
know, when you're having sexwith someone like that, whose
energy really affects yours, itcan really bring you down or up.
(07:19):
So, you know, having sex withsomebody whose energy is not
good for you, or toxic or darkor whatever, think about like a
plug going into a wall socket.
You know, it's like it amps itup that much more, and therefore
it affects you that much more,too. And having sex with them
(07:41):
kind of opens up a portal whereit's like their energy is all
over you now, and vice versa. Sowhen you're having sex, your
energies are like a sponge.
You're picking up the otherperson's energy and integrating
it into your own. If you starthaving sex with somebody who's
deeply insecure, you might starttaking on those energies of
(08:03):
insecurity yourself. Or if yousleep with someone who's
manipulative, you might take onbeing manipulative yourself. So
it does matter the types ofpeople that you're sleeping
with, and it's something toconsider if that person is good
for you or not. I mean, ifyou're in a dark place, maybe
it's better not to sleep withanybody until you can get
(08:24):
yourself out of that dark place.
It's no different than when youhave an STI and you wait until
you're healed and better beforeyou sleep with somebody else.
You so some examples of what caninfluence a sexual energy
(08:47):
transfer are, like I said, aperson's vibration, low
vibration and high vibration,one will bring you up, one will
bring you down. And as yourenergies are connecting, they
want to seek a balance. Sothat's what I was saying before,
how it doesn't have to be soextreme, like a low vibrational
(09:07):
person won't automaticallybecome a high vibrational and
vice versa. But there will theenergies will seek to strike a
balance. So you'll you know, thelow one will go up a bit, and
the higher one will come down abit. And believe it or not, mood
really does affect a sexualencounter as well. If you're in
(09:27):
a bad mood and have sex, what doyou think's going to happen?
Those feelings will transfer ofirritability, sadness or pain to
somebody else, and if you'redepressed, you may take on
energies of depression yourself.
Next, it's the person'sintentions or desires can play a
big role in sexual energytransference. If you're having
(09:47):
sex with somebody who's actingfrom impulse or unconsciousness,
those energies will definitelynegatively affect you if you
have sex with someone who lovesyou and feels a. Connection with
you, your sexual energy transferwill be much more positive. I
mean, here's a big doozy. So aperson's trauma will definitely
(10:07):
affect you energetically. If youhave sex with somebody who had a
very severe trauma happen intheir childhood, for example,
that they haven't yet healedfrom, you will absorb some of
those energies. And you may feeltraumatized yourself, if you
energetically share yourselfwith someone who's either healed
or healing. You may take on someof that healing energy too. And
(10:30):
then, you know, a person'sintake of alcohol or drugs or
something like that, you'll alsotake on that vibration of that
substance. I mean, believe it ornot, it could also work with
food, medication, anything thatyou put into your body, or what
you consume becomes part of yourenergetic body, and those are
(10:51):
the kinds of things that willtransfer. I know it sounds a
little drastic like, well,what's the answer? So nobody's
ever going to have sex again?
I'm not saying that. I'm justsaying to be very aware of who
you're having sex with and whatthat brings, and you can make
your decisions accordingly. Youknow you may choose to have sex
(11:13):
with somebody, regardless ofwhat I'm talking about, or you
may decide to hold off and finda more suitable partner for
yourself, I guess, ideally, andthis is what I think for myself,
that as a high vibrationalperson, I would want to pair
myself with another highvibrational person, and then our
(11:33):
union becomes greater than thesum of each of its parts. So,
you know, I would want my unionwith another high vibrational
person to create somethingbigger than each of us alone, I
guess is what I'm trying to sayto me. Sex is not just a
physical thing. It's anemotional thing. It's a mental
(11:54):
thing, and it's obviouslyphysical, but also spiritual.
And so I would want my sexualexperience to be of the highest
caliber and and vibration that Icould get. And actually, the
place where you have sex alsomatters. The set and setting is
also a factor. If you're in alow vibrational environment,
(12:18):
then you're going to openyourself up to those energies.
So the thing you know, with bodycount and how many people others
have had sex with, I mean, youthink about it, it's like it's
not just the one person you'rehaving sex with, that person,
and everyone they've ever hadsex with before, and everyone
you've ever had sex with before.
So you could really go down thisrabbit hole. And, you know, some
(12:40):
people have never thought aboutthis, and maybe it would change
how you select partners in thefuture or not. I'm just talking
about it because it's somethingthat I think about all the time.
(13:02):
You I read that it takes aboutseven years to dispel sexual
energy. So if you slept withsomebody and didn't sleep with
anybody else for the next sevenyears, which I know isn't always
practical, that's how long itwould take for the energy of
that person to leave yoursystem, but it can still
influence you all those yearslater. But it's interesting,
(13:26):
because the sexual energy thatyou took on will slowly leak out
of your energetic body overtime. Fortunately, your
energetic body is constantlytrying to purify itself, but it
happens slowly, and the processcan be really lengthy, because
you're constantly taking onenergies from food, people,
(13:47):
technology and more environment.
You can do energetic cleansingthat could help along the
process. Though, people canpurge some of the bad energies
that they've taken on duringsex. There are different ways of
cleansing energy. Some peopleuse. There's like plant
medicines, like mushrooms. Imean, you could look up any, any
(14:09):
different kind of ways,spiritual, cleansings, energy,
cleansings, anything like that.
The thing that scares me themost, though, is that you can
catch a lot more than STIs andbad moods from sex. There are
spiritual attachments that canalso jump from one energetic
(14:30):
body to the next while havingsex. I mean, definitely bad
spirits and darkness andentities and things like that
can definitely impact you andyour energy. This is why I'm
saying you just don't know whoyou're sleeping with, or anyone
that they've slept with. Maybethey're not even aware that that
they slept with somebody who hadan entity attached to them. And
(14:53):
the thing is, is that you knowyou can have like havoc in your
life and not know why. And. Youknow you, you might be able to
trace it back to an encounteryou had with somebody who had a
spirit that was toxic or dark,and it jumped from that person
to you. And so now you're in aposition where things are going
(15:18):
wrong in your life and you don'tknow how to get rid of it. Once
again, I'll say that I'm notjudging anybody for the sexual
choices that they make, and Iwill just say that for me
myself, I've always regarded sexas a very sacred act. I only had
sex with people I cared aboutdeeply or loved. You know now
(15:43):
that I've gone through so muchhealing work during and after my
divorce, it's even moreimportant to me than ever that
the next partner I have has donehealing work themselves, that
they're in a high vibration andtheir intentions are pure and
loving and respectful, and Iwould never sleep with anyone
(16:07):
less than that. So that's justmy values and my ethics about it
that I'm sharing with you. Butyou know, please don't take this
as judgment against any of yourdecisions. You know, anybody who
chooses to have sex from a lowervibration or their ego, or
(16:27):
someone who's just seekingpleasure. You know it's, I'm not
telling people not to do that.
Just know what you're signing upfor. But I guess it's no
different than, you know,crossing the street when you
don't have the right of way, andyou're taking a chance crossing
the street when the light's notin your favor, and you could get
hit by a car. So you know,plenty of us do that anyway,
(16:49):
knowing, okay, I got it, I lookboth ways, and I can cross
safely. So it's the same thing.
You can have sex with somebodywithout knowing, and you're just
throwing the dice and seeingwhat happens, and that's okay.
Everyone has free will and hastheir own choices to make, and
(17:10):
as long as you can sleep well atnight and you can feel good in
your decisions, then it doesn'tmatter what anybody has to say.
