Description
The Yogic solution to the sexual craving is NOT repression...it is transmutation. Almost all mystical traditions in the world prescribe some form of celibacy as preparation for deeper states of meditation. Often, the yama of Brahmacharya in Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga is frightening to the Western mind. What do you mean I have to give up sex? In this video, we talk about what the sex drive is and how to overcome lust + why you even want to overcome it!We explore renunciation, the work of spiritual practice, the benefits (and drawbacks) of continence and of course, a few techniques from Yoga, Tantra, Buddhism and Modern Psychology for how to overcome lust.For more videos and instruction, visit me at: patreon.com/yogawithnishSupport the show
