Urdhva retas is an ancient Siddha practice. It transmutes our sexual fluids, redirecting it upwards and converting it into ojas. Before practicing this technique, I had a very short attention span, constantly distracted and unable to focus on tasks at hand. On top of that, my energy levels were rather low and I constantly felt tired, despite more than adequate hours of nightly sleep. With this technique, I feel my attention span has improved and my energy levels have increased – so much so that I sleep much less these days. As a Sadhaka (practitioner), I find this a very potent technique in increasing the clarity of which I see things as well as the vibrancy of daily life, further aiding my Sadhana (practice ). Om
