Bad news for you my dude: You share your energy with everything and everyone around you, all the time. If you try to retain all of it you'll end up with cancer. Energy flows through everyone and everything all the time. It is the natural and healthy way. Indeed, some energies are NOT meant to remain inside of us. They are like shit or piss. They MUST be released (usually through shit and piss, btw).

There's very little Jing your penis. It gets released mostly during orgasm. Most taoist practices involve reverse ejaculation because of that. Some try to make the Jing "rise" to nourish the brain through reverse ejaculation. It is through entanglement that you have exchange.

That's gonna take a while. But the resume is: There are many kinds of energies in your body. Some will become entangled with "Willow Smith", some will be shared, some will be lost. Good luck.

I saw you talking about caipirinha and thought you where brazilian. Sorry. Good to see you're doing well, that's great

There are some TCM protocols that might work to improve your quality of life, but it will be quite difficult to find a practioneer with enough experience and open-mindness to try and purify your Pre-Heaven Jing (which is most probably the cause of the disease). Simple things might help, though. Avoiding wind, having your primary meat source being chicken meat, drinking critic fruit's juice, those kinds of things.

Seems like a case of liver attacking the spleen. Quite valid and not excludent. This can be both one of the reasons why you're having these problems or a consequence of having those problems. Indeed this could be one of the causes! Quite probably liver yin deficiency, especially with the vegetarian diet. Chicken meat can be very good for you, especially chicken liver. I'd say, since it is winter in the north hemisphere (and if he's from the northen part of the globe), maybe he should concede a bit on eating hot foods. Especially chicken brooth. He could add some digestive spices in order to make it gentler in the stomach, for instance a little bit of cumin. It will be hot, but it won't be toxic. Wait, you're brazilian? (Se for, eu sou também, haha).

If you feel pressured to put your penis on someone's vagina, then the problem isn't the loss of Jing - is what the hell are people around doing to make you feel like you have to do it? That's borderline sexual harassment. Consensuality exists for men as well. Do not follow what others want you to do just because they want you to do it, especially if what they want you to do is something that involves your penis. No one. And I mean no one. Can tell you to have sex or not. You should feel like you want it, you should seek it, and your partner as well. Societal pressure isn't something acceptable and you can and should get away from people who try to force you into having sex. By the way: If you're just scared of sex, then that's fine as well. Take your time and weight things on. I was a virgin until I was 21, and most of that was because of social avoidance. I've found my way and thankfully have good memories about my first time, in which I was confortable and happy with the situation. And most of the times that came after that as well, even if one or two might have been bad experiences. Just don't let your fear overpower you, if that's the reason you're avoiding the subject. Look at the fear and embrace it. Be afraid and allow yourself to understand your own feelings on the matter. Sex is supposed to happen when and if you feel like it, and when and if you feel secure and have a firm enough heart to go through this experience. If this will even happen in this life or not, it doesn't really matter. Now that's just bullying. Poor guy doesn't need a four page essay about the vagus nerve based on shady experiments and pseudo-science. Even if it is writen by someone with "extensive training on the third eye"....

Celibacy has higher chances of burning through your Jing than a healthy sexual life. There is no such a thing as "never burning my Jing". It is burned for everything you do, even breathe and have a heartbeat. You cannot stop it from leaking, as loss of Jing is the manifestation of life itself. Stagnated Jing is merely death. It is the cessation of the Flow and the peak of the Yin - complete stillness, coldness and emptyness. Only by expending it can you live. The only thing you can do is to make it leak in the most efficient manner possible.

The higher you go, the less "real" and "objective" things become. I've come in contact with things such as the "incarnation of the natural laws of the universe", and playing with them allow you to perform acts that go against the natural laws. If there are no natural laws, then there is no "reality" or "truth". There is no objectivity. There's only what consciousness creates. So, if an immortal or highly attained guru where to respond your question, it would probably be a "maybe".

Not your Jing, no. Other forms of more subtle energy might be.

Everyone has their own jing, and both men and women lose theirs during sex. What happens is that the Jing is released into the uterus, both the one from man and woman, and then may be used to form a child (if the woman is on the right days of the cycle). Women aren't sexual vampires of Jing (that's one thing confuncians have indeed perverted into daoism, and indeed is a patriarchal paranoia), but none of the partners will absorb it by themselves - it will be used to nurture and ignite the life of a future child, if there is one to come. If not, it will deplete and go away naturaly - the same with sperm and vaginal fluids. Now, techniques to make use of this Jing are plentifull - from the classical "take that creampie and make a snowball" (that is, eat the sperm and vaginal juices after the use) to the "do a very conscious and ritualistic sex in which both share and elevate one another's energy". You can go with any of those you want, but it is mainly useless for the purpose of satisfying mundane wishes and desires - Jing isn't special because it is Jing (pos-heaven Jing is composed of the same level of purity as pre-heaven Jing) but because of where it is located - the deepest recesses of your Kidneys, where the Kidney Yin and Kidney Qi take root and the Yuan Qi is kept as a treasure. That place is closed up once you're born and it cannot (or can it?) be opened after you're out of the womb (some would say even before). So, no "getting younger by eating sperm" or "having sex with multiple men to get younger" - common fears of people who try to demonize daoism - or "having sex with young virgin girls to get younger" - common perversion amongst high class daoists of the past, which would try to "absorb the jing" of girls as young as 8 years old. All of those were perversions brought forth by desire and greed for eternal life.

I do like a certain story from a friend of mine. His master was doing zazen meditation with two others in front of their master. A scorpion crawled into the house. The three became afraid but tried at all costs not to do anything since they couldn't kill and certainly hadn't achieved the enlightened status buddha would have, which would make all animals love them and do them no harm. The scorpion drew closer to them, and they simply couldn't meditate due to that. The master grabs a slipper and kills the scorpion, promptly disposing of its remains. He them lectures then to return to their meditation. The lecture whent something like "you're worried because of karma? If you die now, not having meditated and done your practices, how much enlightenment will you forsake simply to avoid the karma of killing a scorpion?". Somethimes it is a matter of being centered and grounded in reality. Are we really on the level of attainment where not killing the scorpion and potentialy being killed by it would make us go further on the Path than killing it and sitting down to meditate? Or will we just squander that meditation opportunity in search of some level of great compassion we cannot achieve or even phantom yet? Before trying to be a kung fu master, how about learning to clean the dojo first? Every person is at a certain step. Let's not be fanatical and lose sight of reality.

Most come from the Warring Periods Era, mostly from the Hundred Schools of Thought, from the 6h century to around 200 BCE. They are from a time when people tried to rationalize the mystical and turn what was oral knowledge, passed from master to disciple, into written knowledge. They can be found in books such as the HuangDi NeiJing, which is the most known book about TCM.

Things created 2000 years after LaoZi and people use the phrase "LaoZi said:". Something wrong ain't right.

My knowledge isn't much profound, as it is based on TCM, but I shall help as best as I can. "Souls" refeer to anything that constitutes our perceptions and "being". There are five basic souls, each taking root on a different organ of your body. If any of these organs gets affected, so gets the soul. If any of the souls get affected, so gets the organ. The first soul to appear on a human and the only one that remains after death (proceeding to reincarnation) is the Ethereal Soul, Hun, located at the Liver. It is basically "reflexes". It has to do with all kinds of reflex acts, that is, reacting to things. It is also responsible for keeping the harmony of all souls - making it so they react with the needed strenght to each stimuly, not less, not more. After Hun, the other four Souls split from it and go to the organs. The most subtle of them is Shen, many times understood as "spirit", and it goes to the Heart. It has to do with consciousness, notion of space, perceptivness of environment (internal and external) and "perceiving" in general. The most dense of them is Zhi (some say not, see bellow for more details), many times understood as "Willpower", and it goes to the Kidneys. It has to do with raw, brute force and energy. The power to do things beyond what it is commonly your limits, and even surpassing them - usually at a heavy cost. Zhi manifests itself as "Willpower" as it has close interaction with the Kidney's Yang - therefore easily stimulating it and generating the effects of what we see as "adrenaline release". It has a secondary effect on the Kidney's Yin, and with good training it can bring what we call "persistence". The next most subtle soul is Pi, usually seen as "Thought". It has to do with all forms of thinking, analysis and understandment of the world through intellectual means. It can be found on the spleen-pancreas. Then comes Po, called the "Corporeal Soul" (which some consider to be the densest, and not Zhi), which has to do with the general vitality of your body and regulates the connection between all the Souls and the Body. Those would be the Five Souls - Hun, Shen, Zhi, Pi, Po. "Spirit", by its time, refeers usually to "Shen", but can also refeer to what could be seen as Gods, Immortals, or some mixture of Shen and others Souls still inhabiting a Hun that has left its corpse (which would form Ghosts).

That feels so non-daoist.... it is practly a buddhist sumula, with even some "boddhisatvha" vow on the end. It makes no sense. Which book is this from? All the moral question asside, killing them probably won't work. Ants and mosquitoes are almost impossible to repel once and for all. They probably have infested your neighbours and/or kilometers around your house. You need to make it so they can't enter. Seal your windows with anti-mosquito screens and clean your floor with bleach every other day for 5 days. It should suffice.

As far as I know, daoism doesn't advocate vegetarianism or veganism. Or the development of extreme compassion. That's buddhism. However, there are several mixed practices that include both Buddhism and Daoism. On these, vegetarianism is the basys. Now, my personal view on the subject is - be compassionate, but do not believe sentimentalism is compassion. Usually a buddhist is instructed not to lie, have sex, eat meats and etc. But that is with a purpose, a practice and method with a goal in mind. It is perfectly possible to kill and eat with the greatest possible compassion. It just isn't taught, since it usually leads people to not practice at all.

The thing is that you cannot access some of the most profound mysteries without developing things in you these kind of practices hinder. They can take common things from others, yes - Qi, Xue, somethimes even Shen. But they cannot go beyond that and reach a deeper level, since a deeper level doesn't accomodate the idea of "taking" or "giving". If there is no "taking" and no "giving", how can you take something from someone? These people always end up stagnated, not only because of karma, but because of the nature of what they do. The development of the mirror-image of onesself is the last step they can hope to reach, since destroying the ilusion and reaching the Greater Way is impossible without recognizing your own Essence - something that requires exactly the development of things like compassion and enlightenment. I've known several people who claimed to be able to reach enlightenment "through the other route", going "down" instead of "up". Densifying their own carnal desires and ideas, dwelving into ever greater inconscience and animalism. Usually they just lose themselves on the way, as this is not how you do it. One can only go beyond the mundane when one exists in the Abyss. And one cannot exist in the Abyss without first letting go of desires.

Spit it out. Phleghm will take more energy to be broken up and excreted by your organs than you'll lose by spiting it out. A lot more. Not all energy is good energy. Some are like deadly poison. Get rid of them.

Good and Evil are dual in nature. Why are you still looking the world through muddled lens ? Now, being less of a jerk - yes. Being what you call "spiritual powers" energy, mental power, etc, there are "evil masters". They just don't have a good development of some areas which inherently develop compassion, socialization and group wysdom. That usually hinders their practices and make it so they "rise fast but end mediocre".

Notice if there's any part of your body that's still not vibrating. Then connect to a pure source of energy and begin to exhale impure energy from all of your body while also intaking pure energy. You must feel your astral body getting bigger and then smaller, as if you where a balloon.

That seems like a kind of obsession put in order by either yourself (self-obsession) or an external entity (I highly doubt it would be a demon, even if it appears as one, as that's not how they usually act). Since it has gone so deep already, it will be very difficult to get rid of it by the common means. Taking these things out of you would probably kill you. Instead, you need to go not deeper, but beyond. The root of the problem, the point where this thing entered your mind, is "chaos", and probably a certain fear of chaos. Becoming a being made entirely of wires and programming means that whatever you see as "chaos" has been destroyed in you (desires, passions, dreams, ideas, feelings...) and whatever you see as "order" (coldness, calculation, repetition) has been cemented. This duality must be transcended in order for you to get rid of this thing once and for all. I suggest emptyness meditation, in which you do not try to see order or chaos - but rather, emptyness. Go beyond order and chaos, go beyond beauty and uglyness, and become aware of the void of all things. I recommend this mantra as background music and reflection material:

Lust isn't exactly the name of your problem. If you cannot achieve excitation for other body types except the ones you like, then what you have is a form of sexual perversion (not judging, it is the term as it is). This is very common, especially on young men of this day and age. You need to free your own sexual desire and impulses of the shackles you've put on them, which limit such urges to petite body types. Instead of supressing lust, what you need to do is to learn how to use the sexual impulses the correct way - by directing them towards healthy energy outlets. That includes having a good, healthy excitatory response with most types of human bodies in erotic situation. On another words: You don't get excited for your chubby girlfriend and that's normal. But not ideal. You need to liberate and allow for your sexual desires to flow the route of excitation for body types other than petite ones. That's an exercise of relaxation, acceptance, curiosity and breaking self-imposing limitations - not of repressing.

Yes, I do use acupuncture on myself. However, it's quite risky as one's own image of themselves easily leads to big errors on diagnosys. Therefore, I prefer to use it sparsely and ask for help from another practioneer for bigger stuff.
