One of the most striking differences between Tantric Maithuna and solo energy practices is how energy moves through the body. In traditional yoga, energy ascends gradually, chakra by chakra, often pausing at Ajna (third eye) before reaching Sahasrara. But in Tantric Maithuna, something extraordinary happens:
Energy doesn’t stop. It shoots straight up to Sahasrara, skipping Ajna and other chakras.
Why does this happen? What makes Tantric union such a powerful shortcut? Let’s dive into the inner science of why sexual energy, when harnessed correctly, takes a direct route to the highest center of consciousness.
1. Direct Fusion of Shiva and Shakti: No Blockages, No Pauses
In solo spiritual practices, the goal is to gradually unite Shiva (pure consciousness) and Shakti (energy) inside oneself. The double role is being played by a single individual. So it’s obvious that it’s much less inefficient and too slow a process. This process takes time because energy must clear blockages at each chakra before rising further. Actually blockages are that of worldly duality. A strong nondual sentiment is to be poured there to clean or open those. These blockages are like different worldly thoughts full of duality. When duality of these is counteracted with nondual awareness then these thoughts rise up with rising energy to sahasraar because it’s the main chakra of nondual awareness. In sahasrar These thoughts become clean and get merged into infinite soul. Yin-yang union is top nonduality producer that’s why all chakras are pierced instantaneously with tantric maithuna.
Means, in Maithuna, this fusion happens instantly.
The two polar forces, yang and yin (masculine and feminine, consciousness and energy) are already in direct union.
There is no need for energy to pause at lower chakras because the balance is already achieved. Balance here means balance of yin and yang. We don’t need to seek balance of both of these at each chakra. In solo practice, either we need to indulge in worldly activities corresponding to each chakra with nondual awareness to remove duality from that chakra or we have to witness the thoughts arising on that particular chakra. Witnessing itself produce nonduality that neutralize the buried thoughts. But Tantric coupling produce extreme nonduality. This gets superimposed on all thoughts buried in all the chakras as soon as sexual energy rising up knocks them out to expressed form on the mental screen. It seems they are merging with the self. This removes their resisting effect. Actually, something considered dual or no self can’t be carried to the bedroom. But it’s not so with the life partner. The same happens with thoughts. That’s why dual or foreign thoughts remain buried in there corresponding chakras. The body’s inherent intelligence hesitate to carry them to the original seat or bedroom of soul that’s sahasraar. Therefore they block rising energy means they keep consuming energy to sustain themselves there separately. Instead when they are made self like clean with nonduality practice, they are easily carried up to sahasraar for merging them with the self. This is shiv shakti Milan or marriage. In Rajyoga based kundalini yoga, only single meditation image is carried up to sahasraar to merge it with self to be experienced as glimpse of awakening. It’s a very beautiful concept friends. Although all buried thoughts are carried up but they remain in background. We meditate only on single meditation image. This increases its intensity manyfolds then other thoughts. This help in its quickest merging with the self means quickest Shiv Shakti union. In Tantric coupling, this shiva shakti union is happening there since the beginning at physical level. This produces spiritual qualities mainly nonduality since the beginning. These qualities reach peak level during subtle yin yang union that’s awakening. In fact, it is the unconscious Shakti who unites with the conscious Shiva. That is why this is the biggest yin-yang union. Shakti is unconscious and nonlocalised. We have made it conscious by giving it the form of a meditation image. This has been done because how will we experience an unconscious thing and how will we pinpoint it and how will we handle it since it is not localized.
The moment arousal reaches its peak, energy has only one path left: directly up from muladhar to Sahasrara.
It’s like connecting the two ends of a broken wire—the current flows immediately, without interruption.
2. Extreme Energy Surge: No Time to Stop
Ordinary meditation raises energy in small, controlled steps, allowing the body to adjust. But in Tantric Maithuna, the energy surge is so powerful that there’s no time for step-by-step ascent.
The intensity of the moment generates a massive wave of life force that rushes upward.
This is far stronger than what solo breathwork or Kriya can generate in one session.
Instead of flowing gradually through chakras, the energy overflows like a dam breaking open—straight into Sahasrara.
This is why Tantric energy can bring instant awakening, while solo practices often require years of effort.
3. Yab-Yum Position Naturally Aligns Sushumna
In Tantric Maithuna, the lovers’ bodies are aligned in the Yab-Yum posture, which means:
Their Sushumna Nadis (central energy channels) are directly connected.
This alignment creates a perfect energy circuit, removing resistance.
Instead of needing to push energy upward, it rises effortlessly.
Think of it like two rivers merging into one powerful stream. Instead of energy moving step by step through chakras, it now flows as a single force straight to the highest point.
4. Orgasmic Energy is Already Non-Dual
The peak point of sensation before ejaculation is a state beyond thought, beyond separation. It’s full nonduality for yang and yin are fully mixing.
At that moment, the mind stops functioning in duality.
This state is identical to the nature of Sahasrara—pure, undivided bliss-consciousness.
Instead of staying in Ajna (where thought and perception still exist), the energy moves beyond it—to the ultimate.
But there’s a catch.
✔ If the practitioner withdraws at the right moment and merges this energy with a meditation image or mantra, it reaches Sahasrara and stabilizes. ✖ If the limit is crossed (ejaculation), the energy drops back down, losing its momentum.
This is why mastering control at the peak point is critical for success in Tantric Maithuna.
5. No Mental Interference at Ajna Chakra
In solo practice, energy often stalls at Ajna Chakra because:
The mind starts observing, analyzing, and questioning.
Thought creates a pause, and energy slows down.
But in Maithuna, the practitioner is in total surrender—there’s no mental resistance.
There is no separation between observer and experience. There is a feeling of complete non-duality. This is because when the Tantrik has ended the most powerful separation like Yin-Yang, then the rest of the worldly separations cannot remain without ending. Meaning, when the Tantrik in the form of Yang feels even his most opposite lover in the form of Yin to be unseparate from him, then nothing else in the universe can remain unseparate from him. Meaning he experiences the best non-duality in the world. It is a different matter that the non-duality in the form of God-experience is one step above that. But both are the closest.
The mind is too overwhelmed with bliss to interrupt the flow.
As a result, energy bypasses Ajna and moves straight to Sahasrara.
This is the biggest secret of why Maithuna works as a direct path: no thought = no stopping point.
Why Doesn’t This Happen in Solo Practice?
✔ In solo practice, energy moves slowly through each chakra, stopping where blockages exist. ✔ In Maithuna, all chakras are stimulated at once, so there’s no need to activate them one by one. ✔ The sheer intensity of the moment forces energy upward in a way solo breathwork cannot replicate.
In short: Solo practice follows steps. Tantric Maithuna skips straight to the destination.
The Ultimate Formula: Tantra + Kriya = Sustainability
While Tantric Maithuna is the fastest way to ignite energy and send it to Sahasrara, it has limits:
✔ If physical exhaustion sets in, the energy falls. ✔ If ejaculation happens, the process resets. ✔ If one’s mental focus is lost, the energy dissipates.
That’s why the most sustainable approach is to combine Tantra with Kriya Yoga:
Step 1: Use Tantra to generate intense energy at the base. Step 2: Superimpose a meditation image to refine and stabilize the energy. Step 3: Use Kriya breath to sustain and lift it permanently into Sahasrara. Step 4: Instead of letting energy drop, circulate it through subtle breath awareness in daily life.
This prevents energy loss and allows the awakened state to remain stable for weeks, even without constant practice.
Final Thought: A Shortcut, But With a Cost
✔ Tantric Maithuna is the fastest way to Sahasrara, but it requires precision. ✔ If done correctly, energy ascends instantly, without stopping at lower chakras. ✔ But if the physical limit is crossed, energy drops back down, requiring another cycle.
That’s why the real mastery lies in knowing when to stop, when to lift, and how to sustain the awakened state beyond the practice itself.
Ultimately, energy ascent is not just about technique—it’s about balance, awareness, and integration.
