A new edition of the bestseller
- The first book to reveal in the West the Taoist techniques that
enable women to cultivate and enhance their sexual energy
- Reveals Taoist secrets for shortening menstruation, reducing cramps,
and compressing more chi into the ovaries for greater sexual power
- Teaches the practice of total body orgasm
For thousands of years the sexual principles and techniques presented
here were taught by Taoist masters in secret only to a small number of
people (sworn to silence), in the royal courts and esoteric circles of
China. This is the first book to make this ancient knowledge available
to the West.
The foundation of healing love is the cultivation, transformation, and
circulation of sexual energy, known as jing. Jing energy is creative,
generative energy that is vital for the development of chi (vital
life-force energy) and shen (spiritual energy), which enables higher
practices of spiritual development. Jing is produced in the sexual
organs, and it is energy women lose continually through menstruation and
child bearing. Mantak Chia teaches powerful techniques developed by
Taoist masters for the conservation of jing and how it is used to
revitalize women's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Among the
many benefits conferred by these practices are a reduction in the
discomfort caused by menstruation and the ability to attain full-body
orgasm.
