In my spiritual journey, I have experimented with different approaches to energy awakening. While many people talk about Kriya Yoga and breathwork, my own experience has shown me that nothing compares to the power of Tantra—especially Tantric Maithuna—as a kickstarter.
My Awakening Through Tantra
Whenever I started from Tantric Maithuna, I experienced profound and blissful awareness similar to my glimpse of full awakening though at lower grade to it almost instantly. Then I turned to solo practice when prostate issues made it problematic. But honestly, after experiencing the real impact of Tantra, I found that solo practice is nothing but scrap in front of this.
I have also heard about meditation at the tip of the Linga while energizing in the Yoni. The process works like this:
Meditation image is contemplated continuously on Linga tip sensation while during spiritual union. Reaching the peak point of sensation—just before ejaculation—where the limit of tolerance is almost crossed.
Instead of letting the Yoni contractions trigger ejaculation, the Linga is withdrawn just before crossing the threshold.
Then, using yogic breathing, the meditation image rises along with the sensational energy through Sushumna.
Finally, when the energy reaches Sahasrara, the meditation image becomes lively, instantly producing all spiritual qualities.
For weeks, this low grade awakening remains. But worldly pull tends to draw the energy downward again, no doubt.
Why Tantra is More Powerful Than Solo Kriya Practice
Many believe Kriya alone is enough for spiritual transformation. But my experience tells a different story.
✔ Prana flows upward with inhalation, but the real question is—how does it come down from the chest? This is where Apana (the downward force) plays a role. If I explain it further, I mean that the accumulation of energy in the brain causes headache, heaviness in the head, a feeling of unconsciousness or darkness or joylessness or uneasiness. There is no dedicated channel to bring the energy down from the brain like the Sushumna. Of course some yogis take the energy down through the imaginary front channel, but this seems to be a makeshift arrangement and is not very efficient. In Kriya, the energy is also taken down through the Sushumna. But this is also a similar arrangement because the Sushumna is made to take the energy upwards. If a one way road is made two way, you can understand what will happen. On the contrary, the consort tied to the Yabyum is the best and most effective channel to bring the energy down. This makes the energy move like a truck in a loop road and continuously pours the loaded cargo in the form of meditation picture into the Sahasrara. That’s why Tantra works on Prana-Apana union, ensuring a strong energy circuit instead of just mechanical breathing. Let me just elaborate it little more. In solo practice, prana and apana sparingly move together. If it’s made possible with techniques even then movement isn’t that appreciable. But during yab-yum union, when in breathing causes prana move up, apana simultaneously flows through the consort’s body down. This is probably to balance prana and apana. This rotates energy constantly in dynamic loop. Energy is also of high intensity due to less restriction in movement. Prana and apana also meet together in this way constantly. In solo practice, while breathing in causing prana to move up, apana is visualised as coming down through front of body. This is done to unite prana and apana and to keep them in dynamic rotation. But front part of body is not as dedicated channel for apana movement as separate body of consort. Also solo method requires much practice. Probably backbone of consort acts as down channel for apana movement. Consort is actually embodied shakti. It’s real. It’s not just like visualising yoni or shakti in muladhara during solo practice as in yoni mudra, vajroli etc. Majority of advanced and secret hathyoga techniques are actually based on real sexual tantra.
✔ Kriya breath—whether it be spinal breathing, internal breathing, or reverse breathing—it somewhat mimics the energy movement as it happens in tantric union. But if there’s no sexual energy generated at the base, why pump a dry well? Although naturally too, sexual energy itself goes up compiling in lower chakras by default but it’s too slow as compared to tantric build up.
✔ That’s why a mix of both Tantra and Kriya is the most efficient approach. First, generate energy at the base (Tantra), then refine and lift it (Kriya). Refining means superimposing meditation image on energy. I’ll describe it in detail in next post.
Since I have already held the awakened state for weeks, I can confidently say that Tantra produces the most direct and undeniable spiritual shift. But let’s be real—this practice can’t be sustained for long periods because the physical body has its limits.
The Reality of Sustaining the Awakened State
Since the body has limitations, the next question is: How to sustain this awakening without frequent practice?
Here’s what I have learned:
Shifting From Physical to Mental Practice
Once the meditation image is fully alive in Sahasrara, one doesn’t always need the physical act.
Instead of restarting from Linga-Yoni, one can begin directly in Sahasrara and tap into the same energy state.
Energy Memory Activation
Every practice leaves a deeper imprint in the system. Meditation image linked to awakening adds up to this memory. But I just can’t do it that’s why I take help of kriya breathing. It’s a well balanced approach.
Over time, just recalling the experience can trigger the same state without any physical stimulation. However it seems remote or difficult without taking help of kriyas.
Letting the Energy Circulate in Daily Life
Instead of letting the world unconsciously bring energy down, I consciously direct it. I have made myself the controller of mine, not the world.
A soft Ujjayi breath during normal activities can keep the higher state subtly active in the background. Instead of it, holographic sharirvigyan darshan is enough for me.
Despite this, in today’s chaotic world, purely mental activation without a physical trigger is difficult. That’s why a flexible approach is the most realistic—adapting between Tantra and Kriya based on the situation.
What I Haven’t Achieved Yet & What I Believe Is Possible
I won’t make exaggerated claims. I have held the awakened like state for long time, but the world eventually pulls it down.
I have also realized that Kriya alone can achieve the same awakening—if done for countless hours and repetitions. But in today’s chaotic era, that’s unrealistic. That’s why my practical approach is:
✔ Generate and refine energy with Tantra when possible. ✔ Use Kriya to refine and lift it. ✔ Adapt based on life’s situations.
Through all of this, I’ve realized something important:
✔ Rigid methods don’t work. ✔ Tantra alone is not healthy and social. Kriya alone is not enough. ✔ A mix of both—based on the situation—is the fastest, strongest, and most practical path.
This is not just theory. This is my own lived experience. And I can say without a doubt—this path works.
