Impotence

Stress works on two levels in the experience of impotence. Firstly, it reduces our interest in sexual behaviour. Secondly, it affects our ability to perform; whenever there is an onset of any stress, the hormonal response blocks the release of a neurotransmitter (LHRH) which is key to a healthy and balanced level of testosterone, one of the keys to our virility.

The other key is ‘parasympathetic tone’. To feel arousal, we need a certain level of parasympathetic tone in the nervous system to help stimulate blood flow, and this usually arises when we’re feeling relaxed. If we’re not relaxed, it will be much harder for the cascade of physiological processes which mediate the erectile response to get going.

The good news is - the nourishing effects of meditation can significantly offset all of the elements which may be contributing to the problem.

Meditation for impotence not only helps in tackling the underlying stress and causes which may be causing the erectile issues, it also greatly helps to relieve performance anxiety.

For smokers, Beeja helps by stimulating dilation of the arteries. An unexpected consequence of Beeja is that often they find they are much more motivated to quit once they start meditation too.
