When a man notices an attractive woman he has an immediate choice of how to direct his energy. He can make a snap judgment of her looks or of how she holds herself. He can make a quick mental assessment of his ‘chance’ with her. He can feel desire in his mind or in his genitals. He may perhaps judge himself for these thoughts.

Going around lusting for random women is not fair or appropriate. Depending on the proximity and the level of desire a woman will sense the man’s attention. She could feel it as an undesirable ‘taking’ or something else depending on the quality of the man’s intent.

Consider feeling each passing beauty as just that. Feel deeper into your body when a woman catches your attention and practice transmuting that feeling into a non-personal appreciation for her as a creation of Life. Breathe the feeling in your body at the sight of her form as if it were elixir, as would a desert traveler coming across a clear spring of water. Allow yourself to be blessed in this way and let her go.

The feeling that is alive in the moment can be circulated in your body. If you feel energy in your genitals first, breathe up the optimism and collect it at your heart. Be flooded with gratitude for your life and for the beauty of women in general. This isn’t something to think so much as a sensation and emotion to hold. Allow this feeling to glow outward from your heart as if it were a warm, conscious light. Let your skin tingle as your body fills with optimism and light. Let it nourish your cells.

Don’t let yourself imagine taking from this person in any way. Just take your feeling as confirmation that you are alive and well and let it feed you as a moment of appreciation for the beauty of our world. It may be helpful to apply a message inwardly, such as “I would protect and serve her were she ever in danger” or “This world is blessed”.

Then let her go. This is not theory ~ really let her go! Do not recall her to your thoughts later. Let the moment pass so you can be present for the moment you have now. What you can keep is a non-personal rejuvenation of your spirit.
