Question
Hi Ian!

You said in a previous answer,

"In celibate circles, the male wet dream is known as "the male period".  Wet dreams occur for celibate men typically once per month - just like a female period.  And just as a period for a woman is normal, the male period is also normal.  As these celibates get more and more holy, less and less toxified, the periods reduce and sometimes disappear into nothing.  It is typically extrapolated in religious, celibate and monastic circles that Christ and Buddha were not just celibate, but also free of this period.

So the simple answer to this question is: the key for the celibate is to not build up these toxins in the first place.  The effects of having these toxins and not releasing them this way, would logically be to release them some other way and through some other system."

My question is:  how long do you think it would take for a diligent celibate to be free of this "male period" either by cleaning up his astral level and avoiding toxic food or by finding some other way to release toxins in one's body other than through orgasm?  

Finally, what other way could one release those toxins, and how?

Thanks you!  

Answer
Hello Greg! Great to get your question. I hope my answers will be of use.

Q: How long does it take for a diligent practitioner to become an Urdhaveta (non-sperm releasing yogi)?
A: Diligent practitioners can expect to start skipping periods within the first few years of practice. I only know of one Urdhaveta myself, and it took him a couple years to start skipping, then over 15 years to actually be free of periods altogether. I imagine

Q: What ways are there to release toxins other than through sperm?
A: Sweating, fasting, releasing tears, massage and water drinking, stretching, holding a pose, and bathing are just some examples of how we can release toxins. Actual release of toxins is never really a pleasant experience, so again we must encourage everyone to do their best not to build up toxins in the first place. The reason these toxins are there are usually for emotional and spiritual reasons.

Is it harder to lift heavy things, or get heavy news? Most would say the latter is more draining. Lifting heavy things makes you sore in the muscles, but hearing bad news may confuse you and make you lose sleep for two weeks. People are spiritual animals, and understanding what spiritually affects them is a very effective way of understanding toxification and disease. So the first method in avoiding toxicity is a meditation practice - among other spiritual practices. Only after this should we concern ourself with pure food, water and air. Homesteading and working in the quiet, clean countryside is a good boost to any spiritual practice.

After you've done your best not to get toxified, you find you still have some toxins to get rid of. The most effective method for the release of these toxins (in our view) is pure-water fasting. This is very harsh and extremely effective. Your first few fasts may only be three or four days long, and you can work up the length as you go. Experienced fasters have a great reserve of spiritual power to call on when in need, have less periods, and are often miraculously invigorated even after a week or so of nothing but small amounts of water. Fasting is not only effective to cleanse crude impurities, but also an extremely effective tool in prayer and meditation that can summon immediate and stunning spiritual results.

I hope this helps!
