How to Foster the Experience of Sacred Sex in Your Relationship
There is little in sacred sexuality that is of itself to do with sexual technique or positions or special meditation exercises or rituals. All of these have their place and do assist in producing a rich and fulfilling sex life, along of course with the many other essential 'out of the bedroom' ingredients that go to make up a warm life-giving relationship. At its essence, what brings us into the life and deep joy of sacred sex has all to do with the 'lights going on' in your mind-soul. Once the truth 'dawns on you' it is like sunbathing. When, suddenly, the sun comes out from behind a cloud, you don't have to do anything. All you have to do is lie there and the sun does the rest. This is the power of mind-soul received truth! It was Jesus who said, "You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." As I look back at the way our already wonderful sexual (and in every other which way) relationship deepened as these truths began to dawn in our hearts, it convinces me that the power is in the knowing!
Sacred Sexuality
Teach it to couples and to young people. Teach it to everyone! It is God's recipe for life-long joy-filled powerful couples relationships. It is the answer to the misuse of sexuality and the explosion of pornography.
Instead of doing the usual evangelical thing of sitting around wringing our hands over the state of sexual morality in the community, loudly proclaiming the end of the world and writing letters to the editor, it would be far more helpful and positive for the Christian community to begin understanding and teaching both the 'churched' and the 'non-churched' the principles and practice of physically uninhibited and liberated but truly sacred sexuality.
It was the Apostle Paul who taught the powerful spiritual principle of "Where sin abounds, there grace abounds much more." As far as sex goes, moving beyond the mere physical enjoyment of sex into the powerhouse of sacred sexuality is God's 'much more, where grace abounds'.
In closing I take the liberty of borrowing a famous sublime prayer of Paul's. In redirecting in emphasis, I do not seek in any way to alter its grand original meaning but rather to borrow its sentiment and timeless sacred principles. This is our prayer for you:
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance." (Ephesians 1.18)
