Golden Bridge Tantra

Golden Bridge Tantra

Overview
This is a tantric meditation that uses sexual energy as a pathway to expanded awareness and spiritual realization. The practice involves two partners working together to circulate life force energy through their bodies, ultimately leading to profound states of consciousness and spiritual realization.

In our current age, caught between Disney fantasy on one side and pornography on the other, this practice offers profound healing for our confused understanding of sexuality and relationship. Through direct experience, it helps us distinguish between sex, romance, intimacy, relationship, practice, partnership, trust, and authentic relating between the sexes. This practice serves as a balm for our inflamed knot of approval-seeking, attempts to belong through sex, submission, and manipulation, dissolving the confusion of never knowing who is right, what is right, or why.

This approach uses sexual energy in an entirely new way: to focus, to raise our awareness, and to give us a glimpse into what is actually real. And it's a lot more fun than sitting on a mountain by oneself.

The journey progresses through distinct phases: establishing safety and trust, learning to work with sexual energy without climax, circulating energy between bodies, and potentially reaching transcendent states of unity consciousness.

Phase 1: Preparation and Foundation

Understanding the Core Principle: No Fluid Exchange
This practice requires that no bodily fluids be exchanged between partners. When fluids are shared, it creates an energetic merging where you begin to experience your partner's emotional patterns and traumas. This can make people contract energetically, blocking the free flow of life force that this practice depends upon. Be religious about these boundaries. Once liquids are exchanged, the nature of the relating shifts drastically and the practice is no longer possible.

Comprehensive Fluid Exchange Protocol
During practice sessions:

  • Always wear a condom

  • If a condom breaks, use a douche immediately

  • No oral sex

  • No kissing

  • No sharing of any fluids whatsoever

Extended Lifestyle Restrictions
Energetic Protection and Vulnerability
Once we start to move large amounts of energy, we begin to feel euphoric and attract all sorts of entities that can be transferred through liquid exchange. Getting a dose of someone else's emotions in your cleared energetic space can set you back weeks, months, or if you do not even understand what happened, even years. This is why the fluid exchange restrictions are not merely precautionary but absolutely essential for protecting your energetic work.

Throughout the practice period, it is best to keep no liquid exchange with everyone in your life except committed partners. This means:

  • No sharing drinks or utensils (same spoon, etc.)

  • No sharing smoking materials (blunts, joints, pipes)

  • No kissing (except committed partners)

Essential Lifestyle Requirements

Daily Movement Practice
Practitioners must have some sort of daily flow practice like yoga, running, swimming, or similar movement work. Otherwise, the energy feels like a swamp, very hard to move. This daily practice keeps your energetic system clear and flowing.

Substance Restrictions
Practitioners cannot smoke anything or drink anything that would block the flow of life force. This includes alcohol, marijuana, or any other consciousness-altering substances that could interfere with the subtle energy work. This is not forever, but you have to give this work the best chance to succeed.

Session Timing and Preparation

Optimal Timing
It's important not to engage simply to be nice or to please the other. Both partners must genuinely feel the energetic call to practice. Sessions only take place when both partners feel their libido rising.

Session Duration Evolution
Beginner sessions typically last 1 to 2 hours as you build capacity and trust. Advanced sessions can extend to 15 hours, not because you intend this, but because all of a sudden 15 hours have passed and you don't know where they went due to altered time perception.

Day-of Preparation Protocol
Sessions are usually in the evening (PM) in case it runs long.

  • Light meal (avoid heavy eating)

  • Strength workout to raise testosterone

  • Cold shower before the session

  • Coordinate which body oils are most appealing to both partners

  • Begin with light massage and slowly transition into the practice

Session Frequency
Sessions typically occur every 2 to 3 days, based on libido rather than a rigid schedule. After the initial 3 to 4 weeks of practice, couples' libidos begin to synchronize.

Choosing the Right Partner
The ideal partner for this practice is someone you feel neutral toward, neither repulsed by nor infatuated with. This neutrality is crucial because strong attraction can create distracting thoughts about performance or approval-seeking, and repulsion creates energetic blocks that prevent the practice from working. Neutrality allows you to focus entirely on the energy work itself.

Trust has to be earned and tuned into. Both partners need to release projections and expectations about sex and relationships to engage in this practice as a pure spiritual discipline like yoga. No attachments, no expectations, no demands, just earnest showing up and doing your best to open, open, open.

Establishing Sacred Agreement
Before beginning, both partners must clearly understand and agree that this is a spiritual practice, and we commit to no attachment. This is not recreational sex nor a romantic relationship. Both are committed to keeping their word to each other, earning each other's trust that is essential in the final stages of the work.

Phase 2: Physical Setup and Energy Circulation

Positioning and Eye Contact
We always practice in the missionary position because throughout the whole session, we need to remain looking into each other's eyes. Do not close your eyes. Do not let your partner disappear inward into fantasy or dissociation. Stay present and keep your partner present.

After a while, you will immediately know when your partner's attention begins to shift away from presence. Bring them back into the present moment by softly saying "open, open, open" while opening and running energy yourself.

The Microcosmic Orbit: Understanding Energy Flow
The core of this practice is circulating life force energy between both bodies in a continuous loop.

Male's Role

  • Push energy down through the penis into the female's vagina

  • Receive energy into the heart from the female

  • Send that heart energy back down to the penis to complete the circuit

Female's Role

  • Open the vagina to receive energy from the male

  • Draw that energy up to the heart center

  • Push this energy from the heart into the male's heart

Tracking the Energy
We already discussed the importance of staying present and maintaining eye contact. Now we will add tracking the energy flow.

While moving and maintaining eye contact, both partners try to feel where the energy is moving in themselves and in the other.

Visualization Technique
It's useful to visualize the movement of the energy to make it easier to track the flow. Start by visualizing the orbit of the energy moving through both bodies like a circuit. Place an imaginary ping-pong ball into that orbit and simply keep track of where the ping-pong ball is moving in the circuit. Focus on following this ball as it travels down through the male's penis, into the female's vagina, up to her heart, across to his heart, and back down to complete the loop.

While doing this, keep the thought "open, open, open" in your mind. If you notice your partner struggling to stay open, you can also gently say this aloud to remind both of you that what you are really doing is opening all the way out while maintaining the sexual energy flow to generate more life force awareness that leads to greater realization of the ultimate truth.

Identifying and Clearing Blocks
Common male pattern: easy to send energy through the penis, difficult to open the heart and receive
Common female pattern: easy to open the heart and send energy, challenging to fully open and receive through the vagina

When either person contracts or blocks, energy concentrates instead of flowing. This often triggers the male's desire to orgasm as a way to release stored energy. The goal is maintaining smooth, even circulation rather than accumulation or forcing.

The Stop Protocol
When either partner (usually the male, as it's typically harder for males not to orgasm in the beginning) says "stop," all movement ceases immediately. No exceptions, no pushing forward, no "just a little more." Even one movement past the word "stop" can destroy weeks of trust-building. This discipline is essential for the practice's success.

Phase 3: Building Trust Through Edging Practice

Edging Practice
Edging is the practice of staying at the edge of orgasm without going over. How long it takes to move past the orgasmic urge varies for each person and situation. Patience is absolutely essential. This cannot be rushed.

The Plateau Development
With consistent practice, the orgasmic plateau begins to rise and expand. What once triggered immediate climax becomes a sustainable state of heightened arousal. Eventually, the edge disappears entirely, allowing for extended periods of high-energy connection.

Recognizing the Energetic Shift
Once you no longer need to slow down out of fear of orgasming and become able to go at full speed, you will notice that the energy you're receiving becomes a lot greater than what you're expending. This indicates you've moved beyond personal energy exchange and begun tapping into universal life force. This moment marks a significant breakthrough in the practice.

Phase 4: Expanded States of Consciousness

The Golden Energy Experience
As the practice deepens and energy flows freely, practitioners often start to perceive the orbiting life force as liquid gold with a distinctive feel and taste. This is the Golden Bridge.

In these states:

  • Time perception shifts dramatically (hours feel like minutes)

  • Awareness becomes heightened and blissful

  • The blissful state can persist for three to four days after practice

  • Connection to universal life force becomes palpable

Enjoy this phase fully.

The All-Mother Opening
As the female partner continues opening without contracting or shutting down, she opens into what's called the All-Mother, a vast, nurturing, universal feminine presence that transcends her individual identity.

Important note: as the female opens into the All-Mother, the male experiences a regression back to being an infant in response. No erection, no sexual activity is possible for him at this stage. This is how male and All-Mother energy naturally interact.

Sacred Regression
In the presence of the All-Mother energy, the male partner starts to experience regression back to earlier states of being.

The Regression Process

  • Return to infancy (which can feel very vulnerable; all that trust earned earlier in practice begins to pay off)

  • Maternal nurturing, the female is encouraged to nurture this state, perhaps offering her breast for suckling as a mother would

  • Womb experience, with deeper opening, the regression continues back through the womb experience

  • Pure spirit emergence, finally, the male emerges as pure spirit before incarnation

The Ultimate Realization
Through direct experience rather than intellectual understanding, practitioners discover the male, as male form, emerges from the female principle, and the answer to the age-old question "what comes first, the chicken or the egg?" is finally answered. Male comes from All-Mother. Male and All-Mother are not equals at this stage. As male comes back through the womb, back into the manifestation of living spirit, this being is equal to the All-Mother. At the highest level, the divine masculine (the living spirit, the source of consciousness) and the divine feminine (the All-Mother, the source of material manifestation) have never been two, always one. At the peak experience, this fundamental unity is fully realized and embodied.

Phase 5: Integration and Continuation

After Reaching Peak Experience
Once practitioners have successfully navigated the complete journey and experienced the unity realization, they're encouraged to change partners and reach the same peak experience again so they do not become attached to any one specific person as the source of the experience. The experience is so profound that some practitioners feel they are falling in love with their partner. This is to be avoided. It's a step back if awakening is the true purpose. After having the experience with one or more new partners, any infatuation dissolves.

This serves important purposes:

  • Prevents fixation on one specific person

  • Reinforces that the experience comes from the energy work and presence, not the individual

  • Deepens understanding that these states are accessible through the practice itself

  • Dissolves the separation of one being seeking completion in another

A huge unexpected bonus of this work is the realization that trust is an ability one can develop. When people say they "don't trust easily," what they mean is the ability to trust has not been developed.

Maintaining the Practice
The transformative power of this work comes from learning to trust ourselves and the other, genuine spiritual intention rather than pleasure-seeking, falling in love with the cultivation of presence and awareness, and learning to climb to higher and higher states of insight and realization.

Important Reminders
This is advanced spiritual work requiring emotional maturity and genuine commitment. Approach with reverence, patience, and genuine desire for spiritual growth. Consider working with experienced teachers if possible. Remember that the energetic vulnerability created by this work makes the fluid exchange restrictions absolutely critical for your protection and progress.

The Golden Bridge Tantric practice offers a unique path to expanded consciousness through the sacred use of sexual energy. When approached with proper preparation, respect, and dedication, it can be a blast and facilitate profound spiritual realization and lasting transformation.
