Getting Back in Touch with Yourself

We live in a fast-paced, high-stress society full of distractions. Technology has allowed everyone to be tuned in to everything at any given moment. Our attention spans are shorter than ever, and our consumption of media has become increasingly rapid. We are always pulled into the latest thing: news stories, politics, mindless entertainment.

This information overload can take a toll on our mental and physical health, and emotional and spiritual well-being. The incessant bombardment is designed to make us feel like shit about ourselves, so it’s no wonder that so many people nowadays deal with depression and anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle that keeps us trapped in the habit of focusing on everyone else but ourselves. We end up operating on autopilot while constantly seeking external validation.

Do you ever turn off your phone, computer, or TV, and simply just be present with yourself? I suggest taking some time each week to masturbate without distractions. This includes porn. Porn is great and we all love it, but it is important to remember that we already have an internal computer called the brain, which can run a program called imagination, which allows us to create fantasy. To develop vivid visualization skills and keep our senses sharp, it is a good idea to run this program without input from external influences.

Be fully conscious inside your body. Re-center your focus and tune in to your own frequencies. Become intimate with your sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Explore your deepest fantasies. Face your demons and befriend them. Practice radical self-love. Give yourself space for sexual healing. Be patient with yourself and let your senses guide you. Open your heart and release all attachments and expectations.

Try closing your eyes while you masturbate, even better if you do it in pitch dark. This will help shift your focus inward. You can also try using a blindfold, which will reduce the temptation of external visual stimulation.

Another method is fixed gaze meditation. This involves staring at a single object to shift your perception. It helps you turn off the chatter in your mind, allowing you to explore deeper levels of consciousness. This object can be anything that retains your focus, such as a candle flame, a crystal, or some kind of mystical symbol.

The symbol below is hexagram 61 of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese method of divination. It symbolizes returning to your center, connecting with your heart, embracing your truth, and trusting your inner wisdom. Stare into the hexagram while you masturbate. Allow your mind to penetrate its center, and simultaneously feel all the love and joy penetrate your body. When you reach orgasm, allow the ecstatic bliss to wash over you, while releasing all the burdens that weigh you down.

Try practicing this meditation at least once a week, or whenever you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed. If you do it regularly, it can help you get back in touch with yourself and alleviate some of the stresses of your day-to-day life.
