Orgasmic Meditation and PTSD

For 20 years, I observed something that contradicted what we thought we knew about trauma. Over 30,000 people came through and practiced Orgasmic Meditation.
What I saw didn’t align with the mainstream trauma narrative which was to turn down
the nervous system, reduce arousal, dampen sensation to manage the symptoms rather than address the root cause.

Researchers have begun to hypothesize that the sex impulse holds healing potential.
One of the challenges they report running into is how to harness it safely—a way that could be replicated, integrated, and sustained.


That’s exactly what OM does.
It creates a structured container where attention can grow,
where the nervous system can process intense emotion—not by numbing, but by expanding the capacity to feel.

In this groundbreaking
clinical trial, the researchers tested Orgasmic Meditation
as a potential therapeutic practice for people with PTSD. The participants went through 4 weeks of structured OM sessions, tracking shifts in anxiety, depression, and PTSD severity.

What was the result?


PTSD symptoms dropped by 47%. Participants’ scores fell from an average of 60 to 28.
Ninety-six percent said OM felt safe.
Many reported feeling more connected, less reactive, and more present in their everyday lives.

Why this is significant:

Most PTSD treatments rely on pharmaceuticals that dull emotions. OM, in contrast,
increases emotional range, allowing for joy and connection without suppressing sensation.

Orgasmic Meditation alters brain activity in ways similar to meditation and psychedelic therapy. Neuroimaging studies show changes in connectivity in areas of the brain associated with focus, self-awareness, and emotional processing. Research indicates that OM affects regions linked to experiences of flow, surrender, and intense emotions—patterns also observed in studies on spiritual and mystical states. These findings suggest that OM may engage neural mechanisms involved in altered states of consciousness and deepened sensory perception.

This study is the beginning.
Trauma isn’t a life sentence.
Healing can happen
through connection, through sensation, through arousal.
Through OM.
