What happens to your sexual life when your spiritual life begins to awaken? Many people find that once their awakening starts, their desires shift — sometimes to the point of losing interest in certain things altogether. It’s a common experience, and for many, it feels like awakening has dampened their enjoyment of pleasure.
But this phase is temporary, a necessary pause that allows for deep healing. As your awareness expands, you begin to see the toxicity of certain aspects of the world that you were once blind to, including how you approach pleasure. During this period, you naturally pull back from old habits and patterns. It’s a time of recalibration, where you start to approach life with a greater sense of balance, and when that balance is restored, your zest for life returns — often stronger than before.
However, the way you experience joy, including sexual pleasure, changes. Your desires no longer feel tethered to the “3D” world — to things that once seemed appealing but now appear superficial or even meaningless. Instead, you’re drawn to experiences that nourish your soul.
As for sex, the desire remains, but it transforms. You’re no longer interested in casual encounters devoid of deep connection, or in trying to fill an emotional void through physical means. You’re not motivated by unresolved wounds that drive you to seek love or thrills in the wrong places, such as behaviors that aren’t aligned with your higher self. Instead, you’re operating from a place of genuine love, not the kind of love that involves control, dominance, objectification, or neediness.
As your vibration rises, you begin to leave behind the lower, unhealed aspects of yourself. You come to understand the sacredness of sex when it’s rooted in true connection, love, and mutual respect. You see how distorted human sexuality can be in the material world and how much of it is shaped by conditioning that distances us from what sex should truly be: an expression of deep, soulful connection.
This journey of awakening is about unlearning much of what you were taught, and it can take time. But once you adjust to these new perspectives, you realize life becomes richer, more fulfilling. You’re no longer enslaved to the patterns that used to drain your energy, and you approach pleasure from a place of wholeness rather than lack.
