Feeling energized

Hello Kaushal,

Good to hear of your efforts at Brahmacharya. Keep up with the practice. Coming to the answers,

As explained in previous answers, a life devoid of sex, masturbation and lustful activity carried out at the physical, mental and spiritual levels with adequate and regular physical exercise, mental work and spiritual God-meditation on a daily basis helps man progress on the track of Brahmacharya. Further to a few weeks of unbroken Brahmacharya the body having being relieved of the vitality consuming task of producing semen rests itself with each passing day. This results in an increase in energy levels across all domains. This will explain the better mental concentration and physical energy at your disposal.

These initial periods of Brahmacharya represent the stage where the body first relaxes and rests from constantly producing large volumes of semen that it earlier had to. Further to three months of unbroken Brahmacharya, the body reaches the next stage where it starts making use of the conserved semen into revitalize, refurbish and restore all internal organs and the brain of whatever repairable defects/degeneration they have accrued during one's lifetime. This stage after around six months of Brahmacharya mostly consists of restorative activity and a very small conversion of Rethas (semen) into Ojas (divine astral power). The body, still being busy with restoring itself to better health will not yet have shifted into the mode of completely transforming semen into Ojas. The duration of this stage depends on the damage/degeneration levels of the body. A person who has formerly lead a life high on seminal wastage and who has thus degenerated his internal organs to a greater degree will spend much time in this second stage as the regenerative work that is to be carried out is high in magnitude. A person who on the other hand has formerly lead a life low on seminal wastage and high on good health giving habits such as exercise will spend relatively lesser time in this second stage as the restoration work is lesser in volume.

If the practice of Brahmacharya is carried out unbroken and uninterrupted beyond this level the first two stages generally complete in a year to a year and a few months in case of the normal person with good general health and well being. It is only beyond this year or more of unbroken Brahmacharya that the third stage or real Brahmacharya in terms of increased abilities of the mind and spiritual progress due to sublimation of semen into Ojas starts on a large scale.

Since the first two stages mostly involve changes at the physical body level with the exception of a few mental changes, different people experience different sensations within their bodies. These sensations range from an increased sexual awareness, a feeling of heat from within, change in the body smell etc.. The tickling sensation you mention is only one among the numerous reactions of the body to its new found lifestyle.

Unbroken and long Brahmacharya can be carried out only with strict efforts in thought, word and deed and by the grace of the Almighty. Hence regular God-meditation is an important key to attain success.
