Spiritual Practices and Rituals in The Unity Faith’s Sacred Sexuality
What is Sacred: “Sacred denotes something profoundly revered or holy, carrying spiritual significance beyond the ordinary. It often symbolizes that which is considered divine or deserving of utmost respect.”
Sacred sexuality, a cornerstone concept within The Unity Faith, illuminates the profound intersection between spirituality and physical intimacy. Uni’s, those who embrace The Unity Faith, view sexuality not merely as a physical act but as a gateway to spiritual enlightenment, personal transformation, and profound connection with the divine and each other. Central to this understanding are the spiritual practices and rituals that accompany sacred sexuality, serving as powerful tools for expanding consciousness and fostering spiritual growth.
Within The Unity Faith, practitioners of sacred sexuality engage in a variety of spiritual practices and rituals aimed at deepening their connection with themselves, their partners, and the divine. These practices encompass a wide range of techniques, each offering its own unique pathway to spiritual awakening and fulfillment.
Sacred sexuality encompasses a variety of techniques and practices aimed at fostering a deeper connection with oneself, one’s partner, and the divine through sexual energy and experiences. Here’s a list of 25 common sacred sexuality techniques and practices:
1. Tantra
Tantra, originating from ancient India, presents a holistic view of sexuality, intertwining physical, emotional, and spiritual elements. As a Uni you would engage in practices such as breathwork, meditation, and rituals to dissolve barriers between partners, fostering a deep union of mind, body, and spirit. By viewing pleasure as a means to divine and spiritual connection, Tantra encourages Uni’s to dive into intimate depths, fostering trust, and unleashing the transformative potential of sexual energy in their relationships.
2. Kundalini
In the philosophy of belief in Kundalini, a dormant spiritual energy is believed to reside at the base of the spine. A Uni would engage in dedicated practices like yoga, meditation, and specific breathing techniques to awaken this potent energy and guide its upward flow through the chakras, or energy centers, within the body. As Kundalini ascends, it stimulates heightened states of consciousness, intensifies sensations of pleasure, and nurtures a deep connection with the divine or your spiritual world, offering Uni’s a transformative path towards self-discovery, enlightenment, and ecstatic union.
3. Mindfulness
In The Unity Faith, mindfulness, originating from ancient contemplative traditions like Buddhism, provides a potent tool for enhancing intimacy and presence during sexual encounters. As a Uni you will cultivate moment-to-moment awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions, transcending distractions to forge deeper connections with yourself and your partner(s). Through mindfulness techniques such as breath awareness and body scanning, Uni’s explore pleasure intricacies with heightened sensitivity, fostering a sacred and fulfilling sexual connection through intentional presence, understanding desires, boundaries, and mutual pleasure sources. This intentional presence allows for a deeper understanding of desires, boundaries, and the nuances of mutual pleasure, fostering a sacred and fulfilling connection in the realm of sexuality.
4. Breathwork
Within sacred sexuality, breathwork holds a pivotal role, offering a pathway to shared consciousness and unified souls. Breathwork plays a crucial role, serving as a gateway to heightened awareness and intimacy for Uni’s. Through deliberate breathing techniques, Uni’s enter a realm where every inhalation and exhalation transforms into a sacred exchange of energy. Synchronizing breath with a partner not only aligns physical rhythms but also merges energies, amplifying the sense of union. As breath acts as a bridge between inner and outer realms, it leads Uni’s to profound relaxation, heightened sensitivity, and unparalleled intimacy with themselves and their partners.
5. Sacred Ambiance
Uni’s embarking on the journey of sacred sexuality often initiates their path with setting the ambiance crafted to sanctify both the space and intentions. By setting the stage with elements such as soft lighting, soothing music, or aromatic smells, Uni partners establish a sacred container where each touch and glance becomes an act of devotion in a sacred place. Lighting candles or invoking laughter infuses the encounter with reverence, inviting the divine and spiritual belief to bless their union, thus elevating it beyond the physical realm.
6. Meditation
At the core of sacred sexuality within The Unity Faith lies the practice of meditation, serving as a pathway to inner stillness and profound connection. When engaged together, partners meditation fosters presence by quieting the mind’s constant chatter, enabling each other to fully embrace the present moment. Through meditation, Uni’s embark on an inward journey, delving into the depths of their souls and the limitless expanse of their collective consciousness. As they dissolve into the eternal stream of sensation and emotion, they unearth a deep sense of unity with themselves, allowing them to bond at the deepest levels enveloping them in sacred sexuality.
7. Chakra Activation
The concept of chakras originates from ancient Indian spiritual traditions, where these energy centers are believed to govern different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. As a Uni you would engage in practices like visualization, meditation, and energy work to awaken and balance these chakras, promoting harmony within yourself and with your partner(s). Each chakra corresponds to specific qualities such as creativity, passion, love, communication, and intuition. When these energy centers are balanced and activated through Unity Faith practices, they can enhance the flow of sexual energy throughout the body, leading to heightened pleasure and deeper connections during intimate moments.
8. Sensual massage
The Unity Faith perspective on Massage transcends mere physicality. It is a sacred practice that utilizes touch, pressure, and movement to evoke profound relaxation and connection. As a Uni practicing sensual massage you would be engaged and engage your partner(s) with gentle strokes, kneading, and caresses to release tension, enhance blood flow, and awaken the senses. By infusing mindfulness and presence into massage sessions, Uni’s elevate this experience into sacred sexuality, where each touch signifies an expression of love and appreciation. Through focusing on the present moment and attuning to each other’s sensations, Uni’s deepen their intimacy and fortify their bond.
9. Sound Healing
The Unity Faith recognizes sound as a potent tool for healing and transformation. Utilized for millennia, whether through chanting, singing, or listening to music, sound resonates with our energy field, evoking deep emotional, sexual and spiritual responses. In the realm of sexual experiences, sound becomes a catalyst for deepening the energetic connection between partners. Chanting sacred mantras or singing together synchronizes vibrations, aligning energies, and enhancing mutual pleasure. Thoughtfully selected music fosters a conducive atmosphere for intimacy, evoking emotions that elevate the spiritual dimension of their union. Through integrating sound into sexual practices, as a Uni you can access the rich tapestry of sensations, transcending the physical realm into heightened awareness and bliss.
10. Intention Setting
In The Unity Faith, intention setting in sexual encounters involves consciously deciding and articulating desired outcomes beyond mere physical gratification. As a Uni you will recognize that sex can be a pathway to emotional connection, spiritual growth, and deeper intimacy with a partner or multiple partners. By setting clear intentions, such as fostering love, deep connection, or spiritual growth, Uni’s align their sexual experiences with broader relationship goals, imbuing the encounter with greater meaning and greater depth. This intentionality elevates the experience from a simple act of pleasure to a shared journey of mutual fulfillment and growth.
11. Conscious Touch
Conscious touch is a practice that emphasizes mindfulness and awareness during sexual interactions. In sacred sexuality you engage in this practice by being fully present in the moment, attuning to you own sensations and those of your partner. Instead of approaching touch mechanically, conscious touch involves intentionality and sensitivity, tuning into the nuances of physical contact and responding to cues from both body and heart. Through conscious touch, as a Uni you will deepen your connection with your partner, enhance mutual pleasure, and foster a space for profound intimacy to flourish.
12. Sensual Exploration
Sensual exploration, within The Unity Faith, beckons a Uni to immerse themselves in the intricate tapestry of sensations and experiences woven by sexuality. It entails adopting an adventurous and receptive mindset to unearth erogenous zones (points on the body that you can touch to stimulate pleasure), experiment with diverse touches, and traverse the complete spectrum of sensory delight. Through this exploration, Uni’s nurture a profound comprehension of their own bodies and yearnings, as well as those of their partners, fostering curiosity, spontaneity, and vulnerability. Embracing this journey of discovery infuses sexual encounters with a deep sense of sanctity, paying homage to the intricacies and richness of human connection and desire.
13. Eye Gazing
Eye gazing can help you connect with others in a way that words cannot. It’s a powerful way to communicate emotion and create intimacy. In The Unity Faith, Uni’s practice eye gazing. This experience aids in a notable escalation in sexual arousal when engaging in it with a partner(s), intensifying the overall experience. The act of locking gazes serves not only as a perceived signal but also as a form of communication, deepening the bond between partners. This mutual exchange of visual cues amplifies intimacy greatly, fostering a profound sense of understanding, sincerity and desire, ultimately enhancing both the emotional and physical connection during intimate encounters.
14. Yoni massage
Yoni massage is a sacred and intimate practice rooted in tantra and aimed at honoring and awakening the feminine essence. It involves massaging the feminine genital area, which is called yoni in Sanskrit and loosely translates to “a sacred space”. It is done with gentle and loving touch of the vulva, vagina, and surrounding areas with the intention of promoting relaxation, healing, and connection to one’s feminine energy. The aim of the massage is arousal and the connection between two people while focusing on erogenous zones. Here in The Unity Faith, Uni’s are encouraged to learn and practice these techniques in journey in sacred sexuality.
15. Lingam Massage
A lingam massage is a type of tantric massage that primarily focuses on the male genital area, it is a great practice for encouraging your partner to be vulnerable, to slow down and receive, honoring the masculine essence. ‘Lingam’ is the Sanskrit word for the male genitalia and loosely translates as “wand of light”.
It is the male equivalent of a Yoni massage, although sexual in nature, the goal of the massage is not to experience an orgasm. It is done with gentle and loving touch of the lingam, testis, perineum (the sensitive patch of skin between the anus and the scrotum) and the prostate (thought of as the ‘sacred spot’), with the intention of promoting relaxation, healing, and connection to one’s masculine energy. As with a yoni message, the aim of the massage is arousal and the connection between two people while focusing on erogenous zones. Massage oils are frequently used to reduce friction and increase sensation. Lingam massage may also allow the recipient to experience multiple orgasms. As a Uni, one would learn such techniques as one journeys along their path of sacred sexuality.
16. G-spot Massage
Enhancing sexual experiences through exploring the G-spot mainly revolves around communication, understanding, and experimentation between partners. Here in The Unity Faith, we learn how it can potentially enhance partners’ experiences together. The G-Spot is a neurovascular complex structure or erogenous zone, that can lead to powerful orgasms when stimulated. Gräfenberg spot, or G-spot, the ‘G’ refers to the German physician Ernst Gräfenberg, who first wrote about the existence of such an area in the 1950s, is believed to be an area similar to a female prostate gland; it is intimately infused with blood vessels and swells significantly when a female becomes aroused. This message is aimed at giving. As a Uni, we practice such techniques to encourage selflessness and honoring our partner’s pleasure and wellbeing. Allowing you and your partner(s) to connect on much deeper levels of intimacy and sensuality.
17. Nuru Massage
The word nuru is Japanese for slippery or smooth. The Nuru massage was invented basically for the adult erotic community in Japan as an alternative to prostitution that was restricted under the new rules. It is a powerful way to create a sensual experience for partners. It can be a deeply intimate and pleasurable experience that can help to strengthen the bond between people. During a nuru massage, you cover yourself with massage oil and lay across the naked body of a partner and rub your bodies together, aiming for maximum contact. Sacred sexuality in The Unity Faith teaches Uni’s the range of health benefits that are associated with nuru messages such as relaxation and stress relief to helping to stimulate inner peace and a lot of mental satisfaction.
18. Yoga Sex
Sacred sexuality in The Unity Faith teaches Uni’s the practice and benefits of Yoga sex. Yoga is an exercise and spiritual discipline originating from India thousands of years ago. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “Yuj,” which means “union” or “to join.” Many people may practice yoga for its potential physical and mental health benefits, which can extend to sexual health. Yoga sex describes an approach to sex following the teachings, techniques, and practices of yoga. The practice involves using traditional yoga poses as positions during sexual activity. It typically involves mindful movements, breathing, and relaxation to help people achieve more conscious and intense sexual fulfillment. As a Uni you would enjoy the new aspect of sexuality it brings into your intimate life.
19. Orgasmic Yoga
The Unity Faith teaches that self-touch and partnered touching is ok and very healthy for the mind and body. This art is known as orgasmic yoga or Oyoga, the “O” in Yoga is for orgasm. Orgasmic Yoga is the practice of conscious self-touch. Mindful self-touch allows you to connect fully with all parts of yourself as well as your partner(s). It mainly focuses on genital stimulation. Uni’s that learn Oyoga will learn to combine sustained sexual arousal with breathing, dance, sound, intention, meditative attention, touch, movement, and other somatic practices in order to learn new erotic skills and stimulate sexual well-being.
20. Kink Yoga
Sacred sexuality includes a practice known as kink yoga, it’s a blend of yoga and people’s specific kinks. Kink yoga should not be confused with tantric yoga, which aims to improve your sex life through similar ways, centering on your own body and energy. Tantric yoga focuses on energies in the body. While kink yoga does focus on similar characteristics, it can include props and outfits. Uni’s participating in kink yoga not only have a way to release tension and live out their kink fantasies, they are able to gain flexibility and core strength while also incorporating safe consensual bondage. Kink yoga is said to release stress and tension and increase focus.
21. Acupuncture Orgasmic Pressure
Acupuncture has long been known for its holistic healing treatments for the human body. The Unity Faith practices what is known as acupuncture orgasmic pressure, also known as “acupressure for orgasm,” is a technique derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that aims to enhance sexual pleasure and intimacy by stimulating specific acupoints on the body. An orgasmic pressure point is an area or surface on the body of a person which helps them reach the climax or achieve an orgasm. This technique is more for females then men because reaching climax is usually more difficult for them. Using that knowledge, we can find the best pressure points for your female partners arousal. Using these sexual massage pressure points for her pleasure, you can excite your partner for greater enjoyment.
22. Ayurvedic Massages
In The Unity Faith the practice of Ayurvedic massages which are an integral part of Ayurveda, a holistic healing system that originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago. These massages are deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles and aim to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being by balancing the body’s doshas (energies) and removing toxins (ama) from the body. Although not directly related to sexual stimuli, Uni’s practicing this technique will be put in a state of calm and relaxation that will facilitate a heightened sexual experience. This practice is a full-body massage performed using warm, medicinal oils that are carefully selected based on one’s dosha (aka your body constitution). Unlike conventional massages, an ayurvedic full body massage isn’t just about relaxation or tackling muscle knots; it instead aims to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, enabling you as an individual to connect with your inner self. The idea is to stimulate specific energy points (marmas) on the body, thereby promoting physical healing, improving circulation, and enhancing mental clarity.
23. Shiatsu Pressure Massage
Shiatsu pressure massage is a traditional Japanese bodywork therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points. The word “shiatsu” translates to “finger pressure” in Japanese, reflecting the central technique used in this form of massage. The Unity Faith uses such practices as Shiatsu because it is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and incorporates concepts of acupuncture, meridian theory, and holistic healing. Shiatsu is a form of massage that utilizes the hands, thumb, or other body parts, to apply direct pressure on various points or channels in the body. It is performed through loose clothing and does not use oils. Healthcare professionals view shiatsu as a modified form of acupressure, a massage therapy that involves pressing specific points in the body to reduce tension and fatigue by improving blood and lymphatic circulation. Practitioners perform manual techniques such as holding, stretching, tapping, pressure, kneading, and soothing, using their thumbs, fingers, palms, and knees. They may also do more body stretches, rotations, and joint mobilizations.
24. Swedish Massage
Swedish massage, also known as classic massage, is a popular form of therapeutic massage that originated in Sweden. Swedish massage was developed in the 19th century as a comprehensive system of therapy aimed at improving circulation, relieve muscular tension and promote relaxation. Swedish massage techniques can enhance relaxation and overall well-being, they are not specifically designed or intended for sexual pleaser or the purpose of achieving orgasm. However, Swedish massage can still be a pleasurable and intimate experience that promotes connection, relaxation, and sensual awareness between partners. Here in The Unity Faith the practice of this technique is widely accepted.
25. Energy Work
Energy work is another integral aspect of sacred sexuality for Uni’s, encompassing practices aimed at balancing and harmonizing the subtle energies of the body. Through techniques such as Reiki, and chakra balancing, Uni’s learn to channel and circulate sexual energy throughout their bodies, allowing it to flow freely and unobstructed. This process not only enhances physical pleasure but also facilitates emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and deepening intimacy with oneself and one’s partner.
- The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which, according to practitioners, a “universal energy” is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the receiver, to encourage emotional or physical healing. Reiki is a type of energy healing. According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
- Chakra meditation is an ancient wellness practice that is designed to unlock the energy centers (chakras) in our bodies. Chakras are invisible energy centers in our bodies, positioned from the base of the spine to the top of the head. There are seven in total and each one corresponds to different colors and functions. Chakra meditation aids in unblocking any stagnant energy within these centers, promoting a smoother flow of energy throughout the entire body. This can lead to not only spiritual and emotional benefits but also physical health improvements. Chakra meditation helps us feel more grounded, centered, connected, and peaceful.
Sacred ceremonies and rituals hold a special place in the practice of sacred sexuality within The Unity Faith, serving as potent catalysts for spiritual transformation and union. Uni’s may engage in rituals such as sacred baths, moon ceremonies, or tantric puja, each designed to honor the divine within themselves and their partner(s). These ceremonies create a sacred container for sexual expression, imbuing it with reverence, intention, and meaning, thereby deepening the spiritual connection between participants and inviting the presence of the divine into their intimate union.
These practices are often approached with respect, mindfulness, and a focus on mutual consent and mutual pleasure, aiming to transcend the purely physical aspects of sex and tap into its spiritual dimensions.
Ultimately, the spiritual practices and rituals associated with sacred sexuality in The Unity Faith serves as a powerful tool for awakening the consciousness, fostering spiritual growth, and deepening connection with the divine. Through sacred ceremonies, rituals and practices, Uni’s embark on a sacred journey of self-discovery, personal transformation, and profound union with the divine. In embracing these practices and principles, Uni’s honor the sacredness of sexuality, recognizing it as a pathway to spiritual enlightenment, personal empowerment, and profound connection with the infinite source of love that resides within us all.
