Energy Orgasm: How to Release Yourself into the Most Sacred Realms of Pleasure

As we explore the sacred realms of our human experience, particularly our capacity for pleasure, we will surely discover not just the possibility, but the reality, of an energy orgasm. Along the way we will realize that orgasm and energy can combine in a myriad of ways to take us to our greatest edges of ecstasy and beyond. The mistake many will make along the way is to assume that orgasm energy is purely sexual and requires our clothes to come off. While energy orgasms can happen during sexual intimacy, they often occur in many other non-sexual ways. However, while not always sexual in nature, an energy orgasm always connects us to the immense life force energy that resides within us. 

We’ll see here that energy orgasms can happen in anyone and require no one else’s presence. All we ultimately need for this potently pleasurable experience to occur within us is presence – presence with ourselves, our experience, and the Universe. We’ll begin here by exploring what an energy orgasm is and confirm that yes, an energy orgasm is real. We’ll continue with an outline of the types of energy orgasms. Then, of course, we’ll consider how to have one and conclude by drawing important connections between Tantra, Sacred Sexuality and our energy bodies.

What is an energy orgasm?

In its simplest form an energy orgasm happens when waves of orgasmic energy pulse through the body. Certainly when we have a sexually or physically stimulated orgasm we also commonly have waves of energy course through our bodies. Yet we don’t typically call this an energy orgasm. We could best define an energy orgasm as waves of sensation moving through the body for a few seconds, or often much longer, when a physical internal contraction of our muscles, especially genital muscles, may or may not accompany it. The experience will feel more energetic and therefore beyond the body, rather than purely of the body. The internal sensations of an energy orgasm could include bliss, joy, awe, release, melting, infiniteness, love, freedom, oneness or any other sensation of the sacred and our union with it. 

Yes, in most cases when we have an energy orgasm we will find ourselves connected to a realm beyond our own limited form or body. We may feel as if we’ve united with the cosmos, or as if all separation has dissolved and we have become one with the Universe. With that being said, when you explore and experience energy orgasms they may not always feel cosmic. As you discover this capacity within yourself or a partner, the energy orgasms may be shorter in nature. Alternatively, you may know something unique has happened for you, yet you may not be able to fully describe it or understand its nature.

Origins of energy movement 

As we discover how our bodies can orgasm through energy we will find an entire range of ways we might experience this phenomena. One of the first and more basic ways many people discover energy orgasms – whether experiencing it in their own body or witnessing it happening in a partner – occurs when stored energy in the body begins to release and move freely. Often, when stuck energy releases and energy channels open up, waves or pulses of energy expand throughout the body. Many times this will feel pleasurable, and, it can, for some, feel a bit jarring at first. In some cases, the liberation of our energy literally moves the body. The movement occurs sometimes with undulations, sometimes with jolts of energy, sometimes through shaking or vibration, just to name a few. 

In the Hindu and Ayurvedic tradition we might hear of the energy channels within the body referred to as Nadis. When energy moves up through the energy channels along the spine, the Yogic tradition often describes this as Kundalini rising or Kundalini awakening. In the Taoist and Traditional Chinese Medicine tradition we would similarly hear about meridians and acupuncture points where energy moves. The Yogic traditions often refer to energy as Prana while Traditional Chinese Medicine would refer to energy as Chi. 

In short, when we start to feel and experience the presence of subtle, and not so subtle, energy movement and freedom within the body we have opened up the possibility of energy orgasms.

Types of energy orgasms

Having realized that all humans embody the capacity to orgasm through energy let’s consider some of the many ways this can occur. As we begin to list the various types of energetic orgasms, please remember this list offers just a sampling. One thing we know for sure is that there is actually no limit to the number of ways we might experience this kind blessing in our bodies. 

Types of energy orgasms:

1. Energetic pulsations: You may experience this as pulses or waves of energy moving through parts of the body, often in an upward direction. The sensations could occur in one part of the body while physical stimulation happens elsewhere. This could occur during meditation, spiritual dance, or simply through loving touch. Many experience these pulsations or energy orgasms anytime energy is released within the body. 
2. Kundalini rising: In particular, this kind of energy orgasm happens when energy rises up the energy channels along the spine. This may generate large waves of energy that can move from the base of the spine up through the top of the head. 
3. Full body energy orgasm: For some people, their energy channels open up in a way that feels as if their entire body – every part of the body, every part of their energy field – has come alive and is moved with waves of release and pleasure. 
4. Heart-gasm: Similarly, some can experience “explosive” orgasmic energy centered in the heartspace, which often opens their access to huge amounts of love. This could occur for example by raising sexual energy up into the heart space or it could happen simply from touching or kissing the heart intentionally and lovingly. We might stimulate a heartgasm by sending energy from our hands into our partner’s heart space.
5. Third eye orgasm. Similar to a heart-gasm, a third eye orgasm happens when energy pulses, expands, and opens the third eye in energetic pleasure. Again, this could happen by raising sexual energy to this energy center or it could happen by kissing or slowly, meditatively touching the third eye. Some might also experience this kind of energy orgasm simply through meditation. 
6. Sounding orgasm. Some people are able to bring themselves to energetic orgasm by making certain sounds, particularly sacred sounds. In the Hindu tradition, the Bija mantra has a one syllable sacred sound that energizes and opens each of the seven chakras. This vibrational alignment and opening could bring someone to orgasm energy. Making the universal sound of Om over and over with an open and relaxed body has also been known to bring someone to orgasm. 
7. Fantasy. This type of energetic orgasm takes a turn towards the more mundane over the spiritual in many cases. Some people can simply imagine pleasurable fantasies in their mind and bring themselves to orgasm without physical touch. In this case, the orgasm could include more the more common physical muscular contraction and ejaculation that often accompany a sexual orgasm. 
8. Emotional Release. When people begin to practice Tantra and Sacred Sexuality or when they learn how to consciously and intentionally move and circulate energy in the body, it is not at all uncommon for an emotional release to accompany a physical, sexual orgasm. In this case, we categorize this as an energy orgasm because emotional energy moves and is released from the body. This often opens the experiencer to a larger capacity for pleasure in the future. These emotional orgasms could include deep sobbing or gentle tears along with physical or energetic waves of energy. They could also in some cases include a release of stored anger. 
9. Laughter: Also quite common is an energetic orgasm that generates immense, sometimes uncontrollable laughter. The laughter often arises as we are freed into the deeper and deeper experiences of our true selves. This kind of laughing orgasm is also often a reflection of our connection to and pure joy of Divine Union. 

Remember this list represents just some of the ways an energy orgasm might occur. If you or your partner experience a release, an opening, a surrender, pleasure, and expansion beyond just the genitals, you are likely having an energy orgasm.

How to have an energy orgasm 

Here we will offer one approach on how to have an energy orgasm. However, we know that energy orgasms like all best ever experiences cannot be planned for. Part of the mystery of the deepest orgasm is that it cannot be guaranteed. We have to create space for energy orgasms to occur and then allow them to arise in their own way, on their own timing. You can learn a lot about these kinds of orgasms from what we know about female orgasms. We need to allow them to arise. If we chase an orgasm in a woman, we chase it away. The same holds true for energy orgasms. 

The best advice we can offer those who want to experience energy orgasms is to become intentional about having a safe, sacred space within which to practice. If for example, you’re going to practice toning, chanting, or the sound of Om to call in orgasm, make sure you feel safe to completely relax and let go physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Of course, with all orgasmic practices, you’ll want to release any and all attachment to the outcome of your practice. Again, do not chase it. Simply surrender to your practice, to your experience whatever it might be that day. 

With all of that in mind, here are a few of the things you can do intentionally to support your practice and create a safe space for an energetic orgasm to arise in you or your partner. 

1. Set sacred space. You might call in the presence of divine energy, including the presence of the divine masculine and divine feminine. Then set your intention for your practice. Maybe you’ll have something you want to release and let go of, or maybe it’s something you want to call in and cultivate. You might even directly ask for the support of Source, God, or a higher power to assist in your intention. 
2. Open your heart. Invite your heart to open. Allow yourself to trust you, your space, the Universe, and a partner if you have one in this practice. 
3. Let your body relax. You might do this through deep breathing, meditation, or a Yoga Nidra practice. The more open and relaxed your body feels, the more energy channels may open for you. 
4. Breathe. Depending on the type of energy orgasm you might want to cultivate, use your breath to relax and open an area of the body or a specific energy channel. You can also direct your breath to an area of the body in a way that amplifies the energy already there. Most importantly, let your breath be a support. Energy movement and breath go together. If you’re not breathing fully, energy can’t move and orgasm can’t happen. 
5. Notice Sensations. Pay particular attention to the sensations arising in your body. We recognize and experience the movement of energy as bodily sensations such as tingling, vibration, changes in temperature, flow, or lightness. These can indicate energy in motion and may lead to an energy orgasm. 
6. Be present. If we want to feel the fullness of our pleasure, we must stay present to our experience – again paying particular attention to our breath, sensations, and anything else we might feel in our bodies. Hold a soft focus, if you will. Be present with yourself and your experience, yet don’t focus too intently as this can cut off and limit the full expansion of your pleasure. 
7. Make sounds. Like breath, sound moves energy. So encourage yourself or your partner to allow any sounds that might want to arise. If you feel resistant to making sounds, practice allowing vowel sounds to come through your lips. Better yet, find a sacred sound like Om that resonates with you and let your body attune to its sacred frequency as you make the sound. 
8. Let go. Once again, be with whatever is happening, or not happening for you. We cannot force energy orgasms. Sometimes the surrender and acceptance that nothing is happening offers the very needed gateway that allows something to happen. Practice for the sake of practicing and orgasm will likely visit sooner and more frequently than if you make orgasm your intent. 

As you practice these ways to have an energy orgasm, we invite you to bring a high level of consciousness to all your practices. It is not recommended to try to force or even coax energy channels to open. Our bodies are wise and sacred containers for our life force. Trust your body to know its readiness and capacity. You want your whole body and being – physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically, and spiritually – ready to hold the energy movement and its full intensity. Our human energy bodies are immense. We must cultivate the capacity to hold and contain that full energy when it decides to move through us. Don’t let your ego lead the way here. Have a healthy respect for you and your body. Let your highest self and the Divine guide your practice.

As we close, we want to mention that those who discover our human capacity for energy orgasms often soon find their way to the ancient teachings of Tantra and Sacred Sexuality. You might ask, what is sacred sexuality, and you would find that it, as a part of Tantra, offers a pathway to access our connection to the Divine through our sexual practice. 

The free movement of energy through your body supports the greatest expression your soul could ever know in human form. Energy orgasms offer a source of healing and awakening to our divine nature. They help us to see that our human existence is not limited simply to the form and body we seem to inhabit. We are much more than a body. Our ancient tantric energy exchange practices along with energy orgasms help us know that in deeper and more visceral ways. 

Once again, approach your practice with consciousness and respect. You might just find yourself on an inner adventure that you couldn’t have even imagined.
