Sacred Sexuality Myths

Sacred sexuality has been surrounded by mysticism, taboos, and misinformation throughout history. From the idea that pleasure is an obstacle on the spiritual path to the belief that only through certain rituals can one attain higher states of consciousness, many notions need to be revisited from a more conscious and loving perspective.

Here, in honor of my role as a womb priestess and devotee of Mary Magdalene, we will debunk some misconceptions about sacred sexuality and explore what truly makes it a path of healing, connection, and expansion of the self.

❌ Myth #1: Practicing celibacy brings you closer to enlightenment

✅ Reality: Neither celibacy nor sexuality itself determines your spiritual evolution; what matters is the awareness with which you live your vital energy.

Many spiritual traditions have promoted celibacy as a tool to preserve and transmute sexual energy for spiritual purposes. It is believed that by abstaining from sexual activity, a person can avoid distractions and channel their energy into meditation, prayer, or the awakening of kundalini.

However, this does not mean that sexuality is an impediment to enlightenment. In fact, in paths such as Tantra and the teachings of Mary Magdalene, sexual union is seen as a powerful means of connecting with the divine. It is not abstinence that elevates the spirit, but the intention, vibration, and love with which sexual energy is lived.

If celibacy is a conscious choice and not a repression due to an unconscious fear stemming from a past traumatic experience, it can be a valuable tool. But if sexuality is lived with love, respect, and sacred intention, it can also be a portal for expansion, healing, and inner alchemy.

❌ Myth #2: For a sexual act to be sacred, it must be performed within a ritual

✅ Reality: What makes sexuality sacred is not a ritual but the awareness with which the encounter is experienced.

Rituals can be beautiful tools to prepare the body, mind, and spirit for a conscious sexual act. Lighting candles, using herbs, chanting mantras, or meditating can elevate the vibration of the space and deepen the connection with one’s partner.

However, the true essence of sacred sexuality does not lie in the use of external symbols but in the intention and presence during the encounter. When two beings unite with love, respect, and deep connection, the act itself becomes a ritual, without the need for external embellishments.

The sacred is not in the form but in the energy that is generated. True magic happens when both souls surrender from the heart, opening a channel of light and healing that goes beyond the physical body.

❌ Myth #3: Pleasure is merely a physical impulse and has no spiritual purpose

✅ Reality: Pleasure is a gateway to expanded consciousness and a tool for healing the body and soul.

The fact that the female body has an organ exclusively for pleasure, the clitoris, is a clear message that joy is part of the divine design. In many ancient teachings, orgasm is considered a channel of connection with higher planes, an explosion of vital energy that can be used for healing, manifestation, and inner transformation.

When pleasure is experienced with presence and sacredness, it ceases to be a mere physical act and becomes a dance of energy. In the union of the masculine and feminine, a current is generated that can rise through the spine, activating energy centers and expanding consciousness.

The problem is not pleasure itself but the disconnection from the sacred purpose of sexuality. When pleasure is experienced unconsciously, it becomes a fleeting and empty experience. But when it is lived with love and intention, it transforms into a portal for self-knowledge and spiritual expansion.

So, what makes sexuality sacred?

What truly makes sexuality a sacred act is not the absence or presence of sex, nor the use of rituals, but "the awareness with which it is lived."

• Is it an encounter based on love, respect, and deep connection?
• Is there an intention to share energy in an elevated and healing way?
• Is the body honored as a temple, and is the other’s energy respected?

Answering these questions honestly guides us toward sexuality aligned with the soul. Whether one chooses abstinence or actively engages in sexuality, what matters is doing so from a space of love and light, remembering that every encounter is an opportunity to grow, heal, and awaken.

The key lies in the intention and vibration we bring to the act because true sacred sexuality is a state of being, not a set of external rules, nor is it religious.
