Hey XianGong, NeiGong and Alchemy described in the shortest possible way: 1) Make your physical body strong and healthy (through sleep, diet, lifestyle and exercise) 2) Make your life energy strong (through the above measures, AS WELL as breathing exercises and qigong exercises) 3) Make your mind pure, peaceful and harmonious (through the above, AS WELL as meditation). 4) Through continued practice of the above, you can realize the Truth These three steps are traditionally called 1) jing to qi (from the physical body to the energetic body) 2) qi to shen (from the energetic body, to the psychological body) 3) shen to xu/Dao (from the psychological body (the mind) to the realization of the True Nature of Reality). Practically, the qigong teacher will teach you like this: 1) The physical form, the movements and bodily alignments (this is the jing or physical part) 2) The breathing, how to combine breathing with the movements correctly, including holding your breath (this is the qi or energetic part) 3) The visualisations, what to visualise for each movement and breath (this is the mind or shen part). When body, energy and mind combines into ONE, this opens the possibility for realizing firstly your own true nature, then the true nature of Reality. You go beyond your own indvidual mind, and merge with the Universe. Let me finish on a very controversial note: there is only one measure of a person's true spiritual development. It's not their supernatural powers, having exceptionally strong qi, being able to heal, read minds, control spirits or see auras. Everyone can achieve this technically and artificially through certain techniques. Nope. It's actually their love and compassion for all living beings. 1) Never commit actions which can hurt yourself or others, physically or mentally, now or in the future 2) Be a blessing to all living beings, help relieve the suffering of others when you can Living in accord with the above two, simple rules is the ultimate superpower, the ultimate feat, the ultimate level of spiritual development and enlightenment. ALL of cultivation has only one point: giving us control of firstly our bodies, then our qi, and lastly our minds. When these are under our control, we can live in harmony with ourselves, our families, our communities, countries and finally the whole world. In other words, cultivation gives us the power to follow the two above rules in everyday life.

Hi CharlesJorden, Thanks for sharing your story. Living an unhealthy lifestyle in general depletes our jing faster than normal. I have actually heard that smoking weed converts jing into shen. This is why people binge eat after smoking, because their bodies know they need to replenish their jing. It's similar to having to eat high calorie snacks after sex, masturbation and ejaculation. The body naturally wants to replenish its jing. So! Actually, simply living life depletes our jing. Hence, it's normal, natural and unavoidable. However! The only problem is if we deplete it too fast. This can lead to problems. The best cure is very simple, albeit not necessarily easy. Look after your sleep (sleep sufficiently each night). Look after your diet (eat healthy foods, avoid unhealthy stuff). Look after your stress levels (through sleep, food, correct planning, and of course meditation and relaxation, we can manage our stress better). Finally, after all of these things are perfect (or close to perfect), qigong and herbs will also help. There are specific qigong exercises for strengthening our Kidney system and our jing, and there are also specific herbs for this purpose.

Hi Jaba, I'll answer in four parts: 1) about teachers, 2) about exercises, 3) about qi and blood, 4) my own "greatest hits" 1) Concerning teachers, I personally know of only 2 who I know for sure have actually learnt traditional sexual kung fu in China and are legit: a ) Tommy Iversen, who lives in Scandinavia, Europe b ) James McNeil, who lives in the US 2) About exercises; there are three primary muscles trained, the anal muscles in the back, the pc/perineum muscles in the middle, and the penis and testicle muscles in the front. Pumping the anal muscle is usually the easiest for beginners. Getting this strong and under control helps a lot, because the prostate gets squeezed with each anal contraction. This helps in emptying it of fluid during sexual activity, hence delaying ejaculation. Frequent activation also increases blood flow in the area, which is very beneficial. When extremely strong, one strong anal contraction can make you go from 100% erection, at 99% close to ejaculation, to 80% erection with an urge to ejaculate at 50%. Very powerful at prolonging lovemaking when mastered. Squeezing the pc/perineum muscle is usually harder for beginners. The easiest way to learn to activate it is firstly by stopping the flow of urine. The secret is that you should stop the urination completely, and keep squeezing the muscle until even the urge to pee stops. Only then should you resume urinating. Do this 2-3 times. This is mind/muscle training, which helps in blocking ejaculation during lovemaking. Firstly, squeezing hard blocks the ejaculation, secondly, keeping a hard squeeze until even the urge to ejaculate stops. Thus ridding you of the urge. Just don't do the exercise every day at every urination, it will annoy your bladder. Do it a couple of times per week. Squeezing the penis and testicle muscles is of moderate difficulty in the beginning. Simply think about "sucking up your testicles". You can visually see this, either by looking down or by looking in a mirror. This will allow you to visually verify that you're actually working the correct muscles. This is very helpful, as you can see your testicles getting sucked up, and staying sucked up as long as you hold the contraction. You can over time learn to contract each muscle section voluntarily: the back, the middle and the front. Then you should proceed to do the contractions for time, while holding your breath as well. This should be done in different positions; lying, sitting, standing (different postures) and finally while walking. The goal is to build up to 2-4 minutes (or longer, of course). 3) about qi and blood Qi is the "commander" of blood, guiding and leading it. Blood is the "mother" of qi, giving birth to it, nourishing it and holding it. If you have strong qi, you'll have strong and healthy blood circulation. Because the qi guides the blood well. If you get more blood, you'll also have more qi, as the blood gives birth to more qi. Blood without qi will leave you with poor blood circulation, qi without blood will over time die out. When you hold your breath while doing qigong exercises, the qi wakes up. If you hold your breath many times, you'll notice you get warm and start sweating. This is because of increased qi circulation, guiding the blood to circulate more, this then heats up your system. This is actually a big part of the "alchemy" part of qigong, the fire or heat in your system opens your body and qi blockages. It "burns" them, and then starts refining your system. So, that's why sweating is a good sign of the qigong alchemical process taking place. You should ideally work up to a sweat during your qigong practice every single day. This keeps the alchemical process going, refining, opening, strengthening and purifying your whole system more and more. Holding your breath often, over time makes your body produce more blood. This in turn produces more qi. That's why a big secret in qigong is holding your breath. 4) My own greatest hits Holding your breath while doing the different genital exercise muscle contractions is a major secret for sexual qigong, just like simply holding your breath is a great secret in normal qigong. The secret to the genital exercises is the breath and the blood. During the swinging with the weight around both penis and scrotum, you generate the swing with your hips, by rocking them, then breathe in and squeeze all your genital muscles while swinging the weight forward (pumping your genitals full of blood, which then can't leave the organs due to the cloth), and the exhale and relax your muscles on the back swing. Doing this for up to 100 repetitions pumps your genital organs full of blood. When done several times per week, while increasing either weight or repetitions (but not more than 100), will increase blood and qi in your genital organs. This makes them bigger and stronger (over time), and has a spill-over effect to especially your kidney system, but also the liver, and to a lesser extent the heart, and even lesser extent spleen, and very little effect on the lungs. During the swinging with the weight tied just under the penis head, you don't rock your hips. ALL of the swinging motion comes ONLY from the genital muscle contractions. You breathe in and squeeze, this starts the motion, the you breathe out and relax, and the motion continues. This creates the "swinging motion", hence making it a more "true" genital muscle strength workout. This is why it was always my favorite exercise. It can be troublesome to actually feel and squeeze the genital muscles. However, with the penis swing there is no doubt. You can only get the motion going by activating the correct muscles. Furthermore, by increasing the load over time, you get progressive overload. Compare this to simply to squeezing and letting go with regular kegels: you can increase endurance somewhat, but never true max strength. Furthermore, you penis head will be pumped full of blood, enlarging it, and the body/shaft of the penis gets stretched, as well as pumped with blood. The penis swing is definitively my personal sexual qigong favorite. Please feel free to ask any other questions you might have there are many, many more interesting things; e.g. the effect on the 3 dan tien, how swinging affects the 7 chakras, which meridians are activated, how can surplus sex energy and sperm be transformed, sexual and partner meditation, and much more! PS: if you're simply looking for being better at satisfying your girl, search for the book "Sex God Method" by Daniel Rose. It uses something called the DEVI model. This was my personal game changer. All the qigong and lovemaking gave me techniques as well as increased strength, but the DEVI model mindset is still my foundation for satisfying girls.

Hi thelerner, Thanks for your welcome Yes, there are supplementary exercises to the more "load-bearing" exercises. The deer exercise is one of them. If you'd like to hear more about the gentler, no-risk-involved, exercises for improving sex function, qi and blood flow, as well as boosting your general qi levels, let me know and I'd be happy to describe them
