I am not sure what to do with the power that we create.

"I am sorry to bother you but I find myself in a very unusual position. I have found my soul mate and what I have read about tantra, is what we have done from day one. We are both spiritually aware people and came together for that reason. I was called to him, by a higher power. The power between us jumps between us and sex is, well there is nothing to compare. The problem is that because we do this naturally, I am not sure what to do with the power that we create. I have found that it will jump from us to others, healing and teach them to be open. Is this what it is meant for? It has been a little too much at times. Both of us have been having a hard time adjusting. We are not together at the moment, as he is travelling. I was hoping to find some help to know what to do when we are together again. Please, any help would be good."
You can learn to work with that powerful energy that passes between you, so that it is not overwhelming and so that you can use its great power for yourselves and for others. Here are a few suggestions:
If you feel overwhelmed, stabilize your energies through Grounding. See the exercise below. Actually, grounding is a good practice to do all the time!
You can share this energy with others in a safe way if you concentrate on sending it to them through your heart chakra (the center of your chest). This is where compassionate love lives, as opposed to sexual love (which is in the belly chakra).
One of the best books for learning to work with your sexual energy is "The Lover Within" by Julie Henderson.
Grounding
Grounding, a simple yet highly effective practice that centers and stabilizes you, will change your life for the better. Through grounding, you direct energy down into the earth. You can do this through your root chakra (an energy center that runs from the base of your spine to your pubic bone), through your feet, through your whole body if you are lying flat on the ground. While there are many ways to ground, this one is our favorite. We learned it from an extraordinary man named Denis Chagnon, whose loving touch has restored many to health.
Grounding Exercise
Sit or stand comfortably-back straight but not rigid.
Take a slow deep breath in through your nose.
Let your breath flow slowly without pause-in and out.
Focus your attention on your root chakra (your genitals to the base of your spine-more about chakras below).
Imagine a connection opening between your root chakra and the earth.
This can take many forms and can be different each time you practice: some see a tree trunk or roots, a hollow bamboo, a silver tube, a beam of light, a flow of menstrual blood, and so on.
Visualize this connection extending from you down into Mother Earth, passing through the crust, the bedrock, deep into the molten core.
When you have your connection formed allow any overwhelming sensations, any negative energies-anger, lethargy, hyperactivity, grief, anxiety, fear-to flow through your connection down into the center of Mother Earth.
There, in a fiery blast, the energy is purified and returns back to you as safe, strong, peaceful life force.
Maintain your flowing connection-overwhelming energy down and calming energy up.
