rojodugu Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone.. i have been practicing the cool draw exercise from the mantak chia´s book the multiorgasmic man consistently about 1 month ago.. i do have feel the energy removed from my testicles down to my perineum, but i have a bit of a contradiction problem... in the book it doesn´t especify what should be the movement of the belly or the stomach in coordination with breathing, i mention this because when im meditating ( or doing the cool draw exercice which for me tends to be the same as dharana in yoga but the focal point is not breathing instead the cool draw exercise) i tend to expand the belly when i exhale and contract it when exhale , this is done on yoga as part of the sivananda´s tradition... when im doing the cool draw i get a contradiction with the coordination because it is stated that chia that one must INHALE and feel the energy drawing from the testicles to the perineum, when i do this, my body " feels" as if i where drawing this energy to myself and my stomach contracts, instead of expanding which should be what it should be doing.. so i lose my concentration on the exercise because of this... should i do this exercise witouth the expand/contract coordination on the belly and instead just focus on the energy..?? thanks for any help it would be appreciate it.

joeblast Posted May 1, 2014 work on the fundamentals of reverse breathing. until you get the internal mechanisms down, imho better to not pay so much attention to the front of the abdomen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChiDragon Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) 1. ........ i tend to expand the belly when i exhale and contract it when exhale , this is done on yoga as part of the sivananda´s tradition... 2. should i do this exercise without the expand/contract coordination on the belly and instead just focus on the energy..?? thanks for any help it would be appreciate it. 1. Please clarify. 2. You should always exercise your breathing with the belly expanded and contracted while inhale and exhale, respectively; and do the opposite for the reverse breathing. You can't focus on the energy is because the energy was generated, only, if you breathe properly. Don't worry about all the other fallacies which mentioned in the book. If you breathe properly, then your body will take care itself and do its thing. Edited May 4, 2014 by ChiDragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddie Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Is anyone doing these here now? The cold draw not the other stuff. ** reason I ask is because I had not done this for a long time but for the past couple days I tried it again and I feel like I have so much more energy, my mood is better and my back does not hurt after leaning over patients all day.

Maddie Posted January 27, 2021 I think I noticed doing the cool draw laying down is more difficult than sitting up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi rojodudu, There is nothing cool about malpractices. Be wary. Your body is yours alone that you must connect responsibly and accountably to your own mind. Take ownership of body and mind. This is key. Why do apple and orange trees gives only apples and oranges respectively? Are you ~ the only you? Your thread was initialized on 1 May 2014.
