Zahore, Thanks for jumping in from the exclusive Kunlun forum . I really appreciate the posts from people that are practicing.

Don't worry I'm practicing from the book, and it powerful but you have to be able to handle the energy somehow. I don't think this is a practice for everyone without a teacher unless you have some background with energy work or a solid practice to ground the energy. Watch out for the "voodoo" "hoodoo" its really cool...

Has anyone had the experience of Kunlun dampening their sexual urge? I was feeling that it seems to displace the sexual energy at the genitals to the whole body. Not really less sexual but not focused on the genitals as much. Any thoughts?

Take on a practice because you learn something deeper about yourself (regardless of who gives it to you). Drop the practice if you want, or if it is no longer serving you. Or don't practice at all! What ever tweeks your tweeker.

Practicing from the book every day for 30 to 45 minutes if I can...it is changing my life... Can't say where its going but very exiting stuff..

nice! Can't wait to do the training.

India is a place to go, this sort of life is respected,supported and traditional. There are many ashrams that you can stay by donation or a very small fee. The question is, can you handle living in India?

Is this workshop still tentative or is it happening?

Santiago, Do you ever come to Phoenix?

WOW1 Thanks alot. Very nice

I haven't seen any posts from Mantra68 in a long time. Unfortunately for those who haven't worked with Max before, it seems that if you want to discuss Kunlun the Kunlunbliss forum is the place these days. I guess there is a good reason for not letting people into the forum who haven't worked with Max, but I think if you purchased the book you should be able to access the site. Not everyone can get to the seminars if you live overseas.

Wow I hope I can get to one of his seminars this year, I'll have to fly over from australia. You guys who live in the US are lucky, take advantage and go while you can.

I am looking to find a good teacher for learning Sexual Techniques for the purpose of liberating energy in the body and spiritual practice within the context of Sex. Can any Taobums out there point me in the right direction with this? The field of "tantra" is so full of imposters and half-baked teachers out there it is hard to discriminate, and could use some help in searching. I've only been using information from books mainly Mantak Chia.

cool article thanks..

it was a good soapbox..hopefully you chased them away

no doubt exists in my mind at all at this point that ejaculation depletes energy, and that conservation of that force is incredibly important. This is based on my experience. The issue for me is that conserving is one thing and doing something with that energy during sex is something else. Should we Bring it up to the heart and "steam" it?, Bring it to the head and "brain orgasm"?, melt into the experience of blissful surrender...etc. because I am a long term student of Yoga and Taoism just recently, I am making a synthesis of both ways. Kind of blazing my own trail. I know others have done the same and that is what is so great about this forum. We have our own trails to carve but others can point a direction and we can choose that if we want.

I agree with you fiveelementtao, but I do have to say that sex is included in some of the Tantras (not only in the Vama Marga paths that you mentioned) as a means to awakening. For example the Kashmir shaivite's Vijnana Bharav Tantra. So I understand you point well that 99.999 percent of Tantra has nothing at all to do with sex (at least directly ) but within that tradition there are teachings that use sexual intercourse with a partner as part of the practice that doesn't include digging up corpses and such . I am no expert in this field, but I'm not a total beginner either, that is why I am asking the questions. Thanks for your input and clarification.

Are you saying that Taoist sexual practices have nothing corresponding within Indian Tantra? I would have thought that using sex as a way to open energy to the divine would be the same in either context. Obviously the current Indian social environment of sexual repression (you can go to court for kissing! this happened a couple of weeks ago), any sexual practices are going to be driven well underground. I don't think this was always the case in ancient india. Maybe the Kama Sutra is closer to the taoist practices?

Vajrasattva, what is KAP 2?

Sexual practices within the huge web of tantra was what I was referring to

What are your opinions about Falun Gong? Is it a recongnized authentic system of Qi Gung? I did a workshop the other day and it seems really powerful. If there is a thread already on this I couldn't find it.

wow the alien thing is scary if it is true, could be chinese propaganda just as easily. What benefits did you see from your practice?

welcome from Byron bay, this forum is a great resource

nice..its not the same as kunlun for me anyway..

beautiful and clear!
