Ojas, Shukra & Tummo
If shukra is a waste product, and ojas is generally not lost in the discharge of shukra - then what is the rationale behind not ejaculating when practicing tummo?
Re: Ojas, Shukra & Tummo
Good question.
It looks like you've been following the discussion in the "End of the Kali Yuga" thread in the Lounge, that started with this post:

It would worth reitering some of the points made there when going further into this topic.

It acts as a basis for the bliss of tummy.

Re: Ojas, Shukra & Tummo
Oh, I thought it was the ojas that was important. Do shukra and ojas have different roles in tummo, or do they act together as the basis for bliss?
Also, what is the relationship between bindu and ojas?

In tummo, what is important is bliss.
There are different kinds of bindu. The most basic bindu is the bindu of pranavayu in the heart. The so called "bodhicitta" that circulates in the body is actually ojas.
Sukra acts as the basis for bliss.

Only if they are are losing ojas. The main thing that depletes ojas however, is mental worry and stress.rai wrote:is there a connection between sukra and being joyful or depressed for normal people (not a yogis)? thank youNamdrol wrote:dakini_boi wrote:Oh, I thought it was the ojas that was important.

Re: Ojas, Shukra & Tummo
Does shukra get converted to ojas?
If so, why is shukra considered a waste product?
