I wonder if that is true about Flouride... that Flouride in the water contributes to the degeneration of the Pineal Gland... what do you think?

When meditating earlier today, I began to breathe very subtly, and my focus on this breath was great. Then, I began feeling excitement in my genital region. I started becoming erect, and felt as though I was approaching an orgasm. Very pleasant feelings of warm energy radiated like a wave up my spine, very subtly. It was very pleasureful experience. Does this experience match any experiences described by Taoist alchemical theory? What do you make of it? Is it nothing, is it something?

So you think it is energy coming forth. This is a good thing, yes? (As compared to a neutral thing)

Would Self-Arousal without ejaculation increase testosterone? Would it do anything but give you blueballs?

How did he demonstrate these powers?

What do you mean by "powers"? What sort of "powers" does a Taoist Mystic have?

I'm trying to infuse breath and push the energy from my solar plexus to my root. I seem to be feeling some light electricity and shocks throughout my nervous system as a result. Kundalini "precum"? lol

What I don't understand is this: How do you know it's Kundalini/How do you know your Kundalini is awakening/How do you know what you are experiencing is a Kundalini Awakening? It seems like everyone says "You'll know if it's Kundalini", but at the same time, many people have different definitions of Kundalini, or rather what the experience is.

I am a student in Columbus, Ohio. I don't know where to begin finding a master to help me on my journey. Can someone offer suggestions on how to start?

Thank you for the enthusiasm, but the link didn't work for me

Thank you. I have bought the Small Universe CD, and am waiting for it to get here. I will check those links out, though I prefer a method of finding a teacher in real life. I can't relocate, so it may be difficult, and I may just have to wait until I can move about freely.

He asked for what we thought of the website. In my experience, websites that look like that are scams. So now I'm being accused of narcissism and ignorance? Tell me I'm wrong, don't put me down.

I'd consider Enlightenment as the dissolution of the inner black hole, the Ego, and the birth of the inner Sun, or the Christ. I've read that Kundalini rising to the brain is the true catalyst of this process, but have heard very vague definitions of what Kundalini is.

I don't appreciate the criticisms I've received for my post that questions the authenticity of KAP. How could you possibly blame me for questioning a website that looks like any other scam website? It appears that it is an authentic program, and that's fine. Don't put me down for saying that it doesnt LOOK authentic...

Usually, the websites with big glaring "REGISTER NOW!" links that want you to pay money are complete garbage. This looks like a waste of time.

Yes! The other day I woke up too terrible weather with a 5-day old cold/illness ravaging my sinuses. I came back from my 8:00AM class and fell into a nap. During my nap, I became lucid. I walked into my bedroom and said "Wait a minute, why is my mattress on my ground?". Time for a reality check. I scanned my surroundings and placed my books down slowly. I tossed my hat into the air, to test gravity. It fell. But as it landed across the room, I noticed a great statue lying in the corner of my room. I knew it was a dream. I proceeded to enter a pose, believing it was Tai Chi (though I have never practiced the Art before...), and, while dreaming, circulated energy throughout my Astral body, regenerating my chi. I then fell out of Lucidity, and back into the "waking state". I felt so invigorated! My sinuses felt clear and my cough was gone for the rest of the day! The sunny, warm (in December terms) day! The miracle is small, but it is conclusive proof, to this author, of Divine Intervention.

"Semen retention if you live in society is wrong. Ejaculate as often as your body tells you as long as you cultivate properly, but I will have advice you to have sex (if you possibly are able to) rather than non-partnered sex since you gain nothing out of it. Sex with the opposite sex will give you plenty of Yin energy." I saw this in the "100th guy" thread. How do you figure?

Because other people can benefit from our discussion. But you're right, I'm sorry for not making the title more specific

How do you figure? I thought we want to cultivate the energy?

The human Ego is a Black Hole, endless, infinite hate. From it, comes racism, which too, will never die. Oil, on the other hand, is a very limited commodity. China is most likely to survive this Economic Crisis. Let's all just meet there and build Taoist societies.

In your experience, what are some of the benefits of "jing cultivation", or "semen retention"? I understand that these are not the same thing, but that is aside from the point... That is: I am a beginner looking for encouragement. I feel in my heart that this is the correct direction for me to take with my life, but I am not convinced of the authenticity of its benefits. I have started the so-called "100-day" trial. It will be hard for me to resist temptation. Why is it worth it? Thanks & Praise, John Zen

Sometimes, after having spent a day attempting to draw the Jing upwards, I can notice a sweet scent that I have never noticed before. It's a musky scent, how you would expect a masculine man to smell. It is a good scent. And I think that it is coming from my genital region. Is this part of transmuting? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a sign that my energies are becoming more pure? Or am I just imagining things

Does focusing on the ringing while meditating amplify the affects, then, of the kidney channel opening?

When I meditate, I can place my attention towards the back of my head where I hear a very high frequency pitch. Would focusing on this be what you're talking about? If so, can you describe your meditation process, its goals, and the results?

Is converting Jing to Shen/Chi much easier when the tank is full? That is, after 3 months or so of retention?
