Hi there,

 

Since last December I've been looking for ways to energize my life. I've always took care of myself by eating healthy and exercising since I was a teenager. But, I've always had a self-esteem issue and a fear of getting older. So I stepped up my regime by exercising better, taking wheatgrass and making my own kombucha tea. I've found that these transitions have helped me a lot by keeping my depression and anxiety at bay and my energy levels increased.

 

I move on to about August where things at work were not going well and I took some time off. During this time I experimented for the first time semen retention through the Mantak Chia's book the Multi-orgasmic man. I always had an empty feeling after releasing and I wanted to keep my energy, but never knew how. I am surprised that I have reached the five week mark and I have a remarkable amount of energy. The problem is I find that I have too much energy and even though I circulate it through the microcosmic orbit I feel that it is hard to relax. Things were going fine until a month after I returned to work. Some incidents occurred that shook my self-confidence and my level of stress increased dramatically. I took some time off again, but this time found it very difficult to do my daily tasks. After about two weeks my doctor suggested that I should return to work.

 

Its been a few weeks since I have returned to work and my level of anxiety and stress has varied from day to day. I don't have much time for self-cultivation until the weekends. I joined this forum to find ways to better channel my energy and how to calm my racing mind. I have a lot of reading and research to do on this forum and I definitely welcome any advice on how to better deal with issues I'm faced with.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

You will find no shortage of help and advice here but it is probably best to post your questions in the Taoist Discussion section as the Lobby is really only for introductions.

 

Before you do that however please read the two posts pinned at the top of the Lobby and take a look at the forum terms and rules http://thetaobums.com/topic/19575-forum-terms-rules/ This covers all you need to know as we are a pretty easy going lot here.

 

Best wishes,

 

Chang

Hi,

 

Welcome,

 

from what I just read: be very careful with "semen retention" stuff, especially in your state. I concur with Bagua kicks ass: find a teacher first.

 

If you can, I recommand you practice some martial arts, Xingyi quan should be good for you.
