Don't do Anal Breathing after you just ate Fresh Chilli..

The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation is used as a means to realize, energize and move Ch'i through the Governing Vessel composed of nine points and cavities: The Nine Dragon. The practice was popularized by Mantak Chia in recent years but the practice itself had originated over 2,400 years ago in China's Shaolin Kung Fu and Ch'an Buddhist Monasteries. Most practitioners of the Microcosmic Orbit use the practice solely as chakra or meridian clearing and balancing. Taijiquan stylists use the meditation to accomplish what's called Small Circulation, and use two different approaches keeping their spiritual and martial developments in the practice separate. It's my aim to bring to light a few strategies in solitary Ch'an and Dao Tantra and sex magick that incorporates the Microcosmic Orbit which isn't widely known of nor widely practiced. The alchemy itself is a doctrinal mixture of martial and spiritual Ch'an classics written by Bodhidharma, the First Patriarch of Zen, called, 'Yi Jin Jing' and, 'Xi Sui Jing' during the Liang Dynasty and the Daoist classical, philosophical & scientific tradition of Laozi and Zhuangzi of the Sui Dynasty. The discipline was created by Dao Master Chao Pi Ch'en. His work: 'Hsin Ming Fa Chueh Ming Chih,' or, 'The Secrets of Cultivation of Essential Nature and Eternal Life.' I quote a ritual further in this post from a book that used, 'Hsin Ming Fa Chueh Ming Chih' as source material; the book is called, 'Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality,' penned by Dao Master Lu K'uan Yu. What's been written concerning alchemical principles obviously transcends gender, though the realm was created by a Ch'an Abbot in monastery for monks. While there exists Holy women in China and elsewhere who've laid to rest materialist ideas and endeavors to favor the Vow of Silence, Obedience and Chastity, I am unaware of an alchemical doctrine of either the Ch'an or Daoist tradition exclusively for the benefit of female acolytes; which isn't to say such pieces do not exist, only that I am unaware of any existing. Women with a profound knowledge of their bodies, who have muscular control over them and are introspective by nature, or introspective by virtue of discipline in contemplative cultivation, will easily be able to adapt and add knowledge to the realm. If there are women in this group that are able to, and should want to, contribute adaptive material I'd love to be able to verse my partner, as she is patiently awaiting to learn this Art from a woman's perspective -- so by all means, please feel free to start a conversation throwing ideas around. Please accept my apologies having this material appear male exclusive in advance. I am looking for knowledge in the area of gender neutral, metaphysical energetics in this particular brand of alchemy so both men and women can feel comfortable learning from and sharing ideas with one another. If you're learned in the alchemy, ladies, please do offer your wisdom for the benefit of All here, and for my lady. Cheers to All here. The conservation of sperm generation and keeping seed is centrical to the alchemy. The goal is the transmutation of sperm as sexual vitality, "generative force" (Ch'i) into Essence. Essence to the Chinese is equated with the term Ren. Ren transliterates also into 'harmony' or 'balance,' but more balance than harmony when referring to Essence, harmony itself having more individualistic and emotional connotations than spiritual. Essence as well refers to Shih, which means all too vaguely 'Spirit.' Spirit to a Daoist is the same realm in which either a Thelemic Kabbalist or even a Ch'an or Zen Buddhist would consider Spirit. Thelemic, Daoist and Buddhist linguistics aside, Spirit to an Orient Mason is what is experienced above the triune Ego, or Soul, and beyond Void, or "The Abyss." The first strategy is called 'One Hundred Days of the Gathering.' The practice consists of mindful abstinence. In the one hundred days sperm is produced and consciously sublimated and stored in the lower Dantien by raising Ch'i from the testicles and root of the penis to the lower Dantien. *Here I would think a woman's aim in abstinence would be to draw through muscular control the vagina together and upon itself and attempt from keeping the vagina lubricated in excretion upon being sexually aroused; the not happening of which would, I would think, contribute to the loss of a woman's Ch'i and Essential Vitality. Introspective adaptation thus is key for women should women be interested in performing this alchemy.* It should be noted that for a man of above average health it takes sperm a period of two weeks to replenish itself to full capacity. One hundred days of conservation is nearly seven times full capacity of sperm count produced by the testicles. Mindful meditation during this time is carried out all day long, in whatever situation, at the lower Dantien; unless sexual ambition and lust presents itself, in which case mindful meditation is placed at and to the upper Dantien in the brain (located precisely in between the right and left hemispheres of the brain level with the bridge of the nose and the crown chakra). I'm not going to argue a case pro or con in the realm of sexual morality ( I'm not going to argue any of it) from the left hand or right hand paths but if "sexual demons" (from one's own astral sphere) are given advantage, even in the least, gains from the 'One Hundred Days of the Gathering' will leak by way of lustful dreams and nocturnal emission will occur during those dreams --rendering, obviously, all prior Work obsolete; in which case then you would have to begin the foundation work of gathering from day one and start the process all over. Raising the vibratory rate to the upper Dantien by a conscious act of 'being volition,' which is to say the complete want not to experience sexual desire when it presents itself can and will tame sexual desire; while at the same time doing so will step up the rate of vibration and governing power of the upper Dantien. "Beware of thinking "my Ajna." In these meditations and practices, Ajna does not belong to you; Ajna is the master and worker, you are the wooden monkey." --Aleister Crowley, 'Liber Yod.' The same can be said of all chakras and all meridian points; and no one chakra or meridian is any more important or superior than another (especially dealing with feminine and masculine currents of energetic polarity & Westernized Deity personifications of those currents). Each are dependant on others' qualities and functions, but, it should be bore in mind, as a whole, chakras and meridians rely on the Universe itself to function -- & so too is the crown chakra the crux of Makyo (illusion); Essence is not thoroughly of humanity, nor does Essence belong to either life or death exclusively. We may witness and listen to Essence, but as long as there are faculties to differentiate and classify thus causing duality between being and non-being by way of consciousness and experience verses Essential Nature existing and not existing simultaneously, we as individuals, and we as humanity, will not realize and or become Essential Nature solely from the vantage of Essential Nature. The tasks of Ipsissimi and of Magi are of the realm of entire individualistic annihilation and humanity extinction within each of their spheres of experience. The Ego, or Soul, defines Makyo; the Will to Live and exist and the fear of Death and non existence creates and sustains illusion. We as humans are the illusion. Essence is infinite, eternal and Absolute; so too however is Tai-Ch'i, the Light of the Soul, but its infinite, eternal and Absolute existence relies on Essential Nature not existing in humanity. Humanity aside, the unity and complete harmony between Tai-Ch'i and Wu-Ch'i is already existent, their perfect unification and cooperation is Dao. The Great Work for individuals is the marriage of not only the mirror-like qualities of Dao within on all planes, but to marry Dao itself rendering all planes within, however balanced, obsolete; The Great Work for Order is an all life-form marriage with Dao: the Uncreated; the Unborn; Heaven on Earth.

classic

The thing with all this, is that, for your average forum-based cultivator: is, probably not -going to find a teacher- rather, they're just reading and watching some DVDs, but still want: -Kung Fu- to get to the point where you can achieve this, you need a teacher -Tai Chi- to do the forms correctly, you need a teacher. However, sharing You won't need a teacher. I can: and I never had a teacher. To add, what "most" schools- at least in USA- IMO/IME are mediocre "Kung-Fu" fighters. I could share some personal experience, but I digress Just wanted to add all that lol Ok, you guys can go back to kungfu vs tai chi now

(Temple) Tai Chi too

Full Lotus and standing cultivation GiMaSae. That'll cook ya right up

Blast from the past

I don't really condense/compress much nowdays, as I did all this more than a 1/4 century ago. Right around 25 years ago, my Kundalini popped, so I felt no need to keep at it. Once in awhile though, I must confess- I COMPRESS The way I "condensed" was this way: Franz Bardon has a technique called Volting. He often refers to certain fluid/elixirs as "Condenser" - so he was aware. Volting is more like fusing yin/yang together. instinctively, I had one heel under my perineum, and keep tighting up and squeezing, similar to triangle breathing. Triangle breathing- not inhale hold exhale hold, rather, this one: LDT, perineum, mingmen. Once I felt heat, I knew I was going in the right direction. Nowdays, it is generally pore and/or bone breathing

This turned into a highly informative thread- thanks TaoBums

not exactly my own words lol but will suffice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYGMJWydnQ8

with his nose ... or Can Turtles Breathe through Their Butts? Turtles normally breathe through their lungs. But some turtles also have an opening at the base of their tail called a cloaca. The cloaca may allow oxygen to pass to the turtle while submerged. You can find more information here: http://www.turtlecare.net/breath.html http://www.ask.com/question/can-turtles-breathe-through-their-butts

That's why caterpillars believe the butterfly to be the messiah

ok, so now what are you going to do? tell us? ok, so now what are WE going to do? see where this all leads?- NO WHERE sort of, not having the ability to UN_SEE something.

LMAO
