Mudra
Yoga – Redirect Sexual Energy |
|
Vajra
is ‘thunderbolt’ or ‘lightening’. It is also the
weapon of Lord Indra means ‘mighty one’. Vajra in this context
refers to the vajra nadi which governs the urogenital system. It is the
second innermost layer of sushmna nadi. Vajra nadi is the energy flow
within the spine which governs the sexual systems of the body. In mundane
life it is responsible for the sexual behaviour and this aspect has been
termed ‘libido’ by Dr. Freud and as ‘organe’ by
Dr. Reich. In tantric sadhana this energy is not suppressed but it is
awakened and redirected. Oli mudras (vajroli, sahajoli, amaroli) are those
which specifically sublimate sexual energy into ojas (vitality) and kundalini
shakti.

According
to Hatha Yoga Pradipika, if vajroli is well practised, even in an otherwise
free lifestyle, that yogi’s attainments in life will be greater,
and a greater source of vital and mental power will become available to
him. A few great yogis and masters had these experiences and have, therefore,
instructed their disciples in the oli mudras and other Hatha yoga techniques.

Vajroli mudra is an important practice today
in the kali yuga when man’s ability and need to express himself
in the material and sensual world is predominating. We have to act in
the external world and simultaneously develop inner awareness. |
|
The
purpose of life should be to attain a deeper and more fulfilling experience
beyond the empirical sensory experience alone.
By the practice of vajroli
one can learn to control the physical mechanism, but side by side with
his mental control must also be developed. When the mind wanders in useless
fantasy, energy is dissipated. When the mind is totally concentrated on
a specific object, symbol or point, pranic movements are channelized and
the bindu is maintained. In Hatha yoga the mind has to be kept on the
aim of the practices in order to induce total one-pointedness.
