I came to Orgasmic Meditation (OM) in the aftermath of a bitter divorce. My ex and I had children, and we were battling over everything. I was so wrapped up in the fight and in the drama of that relationship and worried about my kids. I knew I needed a reset for my brain and a break from all this painful drama. I needed to center on myself for a time.
A woman I had just started seeing told me that she’d been practicing Orgasmic Meditation for a while and asked me if I’d be interested in trying it with her. We weren’t headed for anything romantically serious; we were really just friends who wanted to support each other. As soon as she said the phrase “Orgasmic Meditation,” I was fascinated. It was perfect that Orgasmic Meditation appeared when it did. I knew I needed to heal some of my shame and find more healthy ways to express myself, and I liked the idea of meditative practice. Something about Orgasmic Meditation (OM) seemed more concrete and practical.
Each OM brings the same sensations. I feel light coming into my head and heat rising on my face. My whole body starts to wake up, and energy rises up through my stomach, chest, and head. And it comes with a sense of clarity. My whole body feels alive. In Orgasmic Meditation, we talk about the concept of “containers.” There are a lot of different ways of describing the concept, but it’s primarily about creating a safe space and structure where people can do their best work together. It’s always about creating a win/win situation. It’s not like having boundaries because boundaries are about stopping people from getting too close – a container is about creating a vessel in which people can all get what they need.
I’m still in the midst of this very difficult divorce. But instead of getting reactive and enraged, I’ve used the tools I’ve developed in OM to stay present and calm. I’m not ashamed of who I am or how I live, and I no longer try to hide my truth. Even when it’s painful and hard, I stay focused and truthful about who I am. So much of that comes from the grounding I have in Orgasmic Meditation.
