Hello I think Mantak Chia calls it the gate of life and death! Perhaps it is the same point. I have alot atetntion to it myself doing alot standing now when I have started with my yoga group to do exercises from the taoist yoga and sexual energy by Yudelove. I have some difficulties with standing. I think it is somehow connected with my illness the coldness and the tiredness. When I do standing against the wall it is nearly impossible to got the ming men against the wall at the same time to have alignment in the shoulders and the neck. If I got the aligment close to right I start trembling and energy comes up, but I have greate diffucultties in continuing with the standing. Learning right now to try to continue but stop before it is to demanding. After a few minutes standing I sweating a along my body and have to change clothes. I am also quite tired sometimes nearly feel like I want to faint. For the time beeing I have been qutie exhausted by owerwork and have stiffness in the muscles, this have increased my difficulties with standing the psoas are more stiff and then it is even harder to get the ming men into the wall. During my whole practise with the universal tao system I always have had this difficulties with Iron Shirt exercises. I think they somehow connects to my illness and I think they could be part of a solution to it. But perhaps I have to owercome my resistance against it and just keep it on. This book will be the first time I continously will exercise it. I have no way out beacase I want to follow the exercises toghether with the rest of the group. I also want to be able to do the meditations when standing and not while sitting. For the moment I only manage the short meditation not the long one which is the beginning of fusion. I had also in the first book by Yudelove done some breathing to the ming men and other points along the back. It feels warm and good. I heard again today while listening to the eight brocades DVD in my white tigress course that standing is the fastest way to develop heat, which have been my biggest gole in life since i got my coldness illness and burned out condition. This stagement in the DVD gave me much more inspiration to practise this and I look forward with excitment to my new achivements with iron shirt, even though I sometimes have a hard time with my resitance against it.

A wery wise decission. It is not worth harming yourself doing it the wrong way. I do not either think the milion dollar point is a good way of practise. I have done it myself a couple of times to see how it works, but I see it as a quite low level practise with more risks to it than benefits. I have practised the Mantak Chia sexual practises since the year 2000 with Chia and other teachers. Do other good and nice qigong and yoga until you have the possibility to find a teacher! Sexual practises can be wery dangerous if done in the wrong way. F D

Hello When having sex with a woman you gain more energy. So the risk with masturbation is bigger with respect to loosing Jing, sexual energy. If you should or not should start sexual practises is a matter of interest. If you want big progress in your qigong or yoga practises, then the sexual practises are necessarily. But it should be done with care and together with alot balancing practises otherwise it might be wery harmful as well. The first thing to do if living alone, not having a sexual relationship is to regulate your orgasms with ejaculation. It is a qustion of how old you are and how strong health you have. A young man, could have ejaculatins every day A man in twenty one ejaculatin in three days. 30 once in a week or a bit more often if healthy 40 not more than once in a week 50 once in a week or once in two weeks 60 Not have ejaculations at all is preferable This advises is from my memory, but it looks somewhat like that. But might differ a litle beatwean books. But you can have as much sex you want and masturbate as much as you which but not ejaculate. To masturbate and having sex is good for you if you not owerdo it. To stimulate Jing with masturbation is good. But it might be bad to use porn or other artificial products! This is what it is all about. You loose your life enrgy your stamina and your health if ejaculating to much, and it go quicker than if beeing with a woman. As I see it. F D

Hello What is your knowledge of energy work, and do you do some energy work regularly like qigong or yoga? What do you mean by taking up the energy for the spine. Do you mean sexual energy or qi. Where from have you learned to take up the energy for the spine. Notice that any exercise with sexual energy might be dangerous if not accomplished in the right way. It might also be wery beneficial if done in the right way. So to be able to answer your question, I and we on the forum have to know a litle bit more of what you know about energy work and what you practise. If you not practise then you should work directly on the sexual energy at all! F D

Hello. A standpoint of the schools that use Dual cultivation is that if have had sex in your life you are not in the pre heanenly state and you loose energy. Best for cultivation is to start before puberty and be celibate so you can practise in the pre-heavenly state. If have had sex and have been loosing energy, the best thing is to do dual cultivation to restore yourself, but after being restored go into celibacy. For people starting at older age and already have been loosing Jing, they not reach a long way if going the single cultivation path. F D

Hello The frustrating thing is when you have been trying alot to be able to help your problem and it have realy not helped. But as from my own experiences sometimes it seems not to go forward at all, but every efort you do is something that you will see might have been necessary to reach the solution. Go inside of yourself and learn relaxation. Tell your uncounsious that you will solve this problem no matter of the dificulties and the time it will take. You will do the effort needed. When you see for yourself that the problem are solved one day beacase you are willing to do everything necessarily, is it like it already is solved and you will feel better about it. And then you go into the efforts needed with a positive attitude. Well this is somehow how I myslelf have dealt with a wery dificult situation. It is possible to find wery strong power within yourself when you are in a bad situation. This helps alot. One thing is that I have had alot of sugestion myself. Some have been bull shit. Some have been wrong and nothing that help my problem. Others have seemed to be right but have not helped in the end. And just very few have realy helped a litle. The thing is that you have to be practical. Learn something and then decide for the next possible practical step. Learn everything necessarily in the step you have choosen to take. Then afer you have tried for enough long time that it could be able to help you. Figure out if you shall keep on with it and decide if it is necesssarily to take the next step and try something other or do it in a even more genuine way. T It is often just practical to try one or two things you believe the most in at the same time, otherwise you just split your consentration. Well this is how I deal with my problem. Migth help you or not. F D

Hello Hope you not drink cofe! F D

There is no light coming out from the computer screen nocking me down into pieces! F D

Hello There were nothing on the yellow stream on that link. Just semen retention what I could see. I have no link. I was talking about the term yellow stream from the white tigress system. From the books by Hsi Lai. From one of the DVD:s about the 8 brocades, they where talking about the common mistake of thinking to circulate qi in microcosmic orbit is the same as circulating the exlixir, (from for examle charled luk bok taoist yoga). Circulating qi is the starting method cirlulating the elixir is the end result. A growing up state, he was saying on the DVD. That it is alchemy was my own conclusion, the exlixir was made by mixing qi and jing=water=exlixir. So it sounds like alchemy, mixing things and have a changing process. There were some links from another thread:http://www.innertraditions.com/Product.jmdx?action=displayDetail&id=342&searchString=0-89281-963-4 Not directly on the yellow stream though. F D

Hello Interesting question. I feel sometimes I have chared to much on open forums, beacase some people realy have the ability to recognice me as the real me in the real reality. But on the other hand I not see it as a big problem. I am unsertain about this and have no strict rules about it. Of course to talk about yourself is your own business and everybody have to judge for themselves. To be open about personal things on the forum makes it also more interesting to read. To talka about others is of course another question! I have no clear thought on this jet! F D

Hello Funny enough the posts of one of our times greatest spiritual masters, if you should believe in the book "makinf of a modern wizard..", is about 99% about money and perhaps the rest abuot hes teaching. LOL F D
