Can someone recommend a practice or a book about
what to do with all this excess root chakra energy? I
have been practicing for 15 months. A couple of months
ago I began to feel, how should I say, a strong
desire to reproduce after practice. I thought this would
pass like aches and pains do, but it hasn't. I know
I've read a book about moving energy or using it for
spiritual means -- I think it was a Taoist text, but I'm
not sure. Thanks for any help.

check out Mantak Chia's books

Dear Nicholas,<br>when I read your message I felt
that, although I've never really been conscious about
it, that I often have the same feelings especially
after intense practice.<br>Any advice really
welcome.<br><br>Namaste<br>Dirk

In Taoism one can find the t detailedand
scientific approaches to dealing with sexual energy. Two
books I recommend highly! Mantak Chia's "Cultivating
Male Sexuality" (can be ordered at

Hi, nicholas<br> I sometimes experience the same
type of energy you described. For me, though, it
mainly happens while practicing Navasana (boat) - this
posture really seems to stimulate the first two energy
centers, as you are balancing directly on the perineum.
<br> Rudolph Ballentine offers some good advice for
dealing with excess sexual energy in his book "Radical
Healing". Basically, you just lie on your back, hold mula
bandha, and focus on "inhaling up from the base of the
spine," to help bump the energy up to higher chakras.
Maybe you could try this during the first half of
Savasana, to help you (and your energy) relax.<br> The
strong work with the bandhas during Ashtanga practice is
inevitably going to stimulate your lower energy centers.
Don't be discouraged by your sexuality - it's a natural
part of who you are. I think if you continue working
diligently with the bandhas and breath, this energy can
gradually be transformed into compassion, creativity and
insight.<br><br>Amrita
