1-Today is #Thursday – the day of #Jupiter.

#Jupiter is all about expansion,

..#Relationships, the #soul or the #Jeeva and #family and #Ayurveda. (1/25)

2-So, what does #Ayurveda say about man and woman coming together, producing children?

What are the healthy ways to do it?

In that spirit, we will discuss some bit of #Astrology as well as some bit of #Ayurveda. (2/25)

3-This also adds to #गर्भाधान and #Conception threads

..and the role #Astrology and #Ayurveda play in it

..what @shashankupadhy_ has been talking about (3/25)

4-#Ayurveda says that #Consciousness exists at the level of both #egg and #sperm.

A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have

..eggs that developed by the end of the fourth month after she was conceived (4/25)

5-So you were influenced in the womb by the conditions of your maternal grandmother’s pregnancy

..your mother and maternal grandmother were directly affected by your maternal great-grandmother’s pregnancy

..and so on. (5/25)

6-In that sense your #Genetic Material has the impact of previous generations

..and your #consciousness is actually affected by seven generations of #Ancestors. (6/25)

7-The #Vedic #Rishis fully well knew the importance of #Heredity and how one shares one’s genes.

Both #Astrology as well as #Ayurveda say

..that the way a #Child is conceived makes a colossal difference to its #Development in the #Womb and its #BirthExperience. (7/25)

8-It can also colors its whole life after #Birth.

We can say that a #Baby is quite literally trapped in its #Constitutional pattern

..which is fixed at the moment of #Conception. (8/25)

9-A baby conceived during a blissful sexual experience

..unconsciously remembers some of that #Ecstasy. (9/25)

10-#Sushruta says that the ideal setting for a great #Lovemaking provides a feast for each sense organ

..a full-moon night in a bower of flowers, soft silk garments, sweet intoxicating perfumes

..light and nourishing food, sweet music... (10/25)

11-When each sense has been fully fed, the satisfaction permeates the consciousness

..and the ensuing orgasmic sacrifice of the male’s #Shukra into the female’s fire satiates both partners (11/25)

12-#Ayurveda says another very interesting thing, modern #Science is only waking up to now

After #Touch, #Smell is the most important sense to be fed during the union of a man and a woman

A #Sanskrit verb meaning ‘to kiss’ also means ‘to smell.’ (12/25)

13-Such is the importance of the sense of #Smell

..that it has been observed that the cells that set puberty in motion originate in the nose

..and only later migrate to the brain

..many people with smell disorders lose interest in #Sex. (13/25)

14-Women have a better sense of smell than do men

..they detect musk, Ayurveda’s premier perfume and heart stimulant, better than any other odor

..and detect it 100 to 100,000 times better during #ovulation and #menstruation. (14/25)

15-#Pheromones, the hormonal odors contained in the sweat of both sexes, also seem to affect women more than men. (15/25)

16-Male pheromones help to regularize a woman’s menstrual cycle,

..and women who live together usually develop synchronized menstrual periods

..through the effect of their own pheromones on each other. (16/25)

17-#Ayurveda knows far better about human #Anatomy and #Physiology than modern science does even today.

For example, #Ayurveda knows that a woman’s sexual experience is far superior to a man’s. (17/25)

18-The female brain is wired to deliver a better #Orgasm

..than is the male #Brain

..a male orgasm is more of a reflex, like the orgasm of lower mammals.

A #woman is literally a man’s teacher in the realm of sex (18/25)

19-#Charaka says that the best #Aphrodisiac for a man is a woman who loves him

"All the delectable objects of the senses are found together in combination only in the person of the woman (19/25)

20-.."Nowhere else.

In her also are established righteousness, wealth, auspiciousness and the two worlds, this and the other."

A man must, therefore, honor his partner as the embodiment of the goddess of wealth and prosperity. (20/25)

21-When a man offers his libation of #seed into her

..he worships the fire she symbolizes, and from this sacrifice prosperity manifests through her.

This is deemed an internal sacrificial rite. (21/25)

22-#Tantra – which seems to concern itself quite a bit with the #Body

..respects sexual intercourse as a sacred act

..which can, if properly performed, become an act of #Worship. (22/25)

23-There is a beautiful treatise by Kalyana Malla called - Ananga Ranga

It clearly lays out on which lunar day #Prana causes passion to reside in which female organ or limb..

and how to awaken that #passion (23/25)

24-It talks about sexual compatibility by size and qualities of genitals,

..by personality, by homeland, and by astrology, palmistry and physiognomy

..the varieties of enjoyment, including kissing (24/25)

25-Use of the nails

..#yoga posture

..alchemical aphrodisiacs

..rejuvenatives and remedies

..and charms and spells for both men and women to attract the opposite sex. (25/25)
