Sahaja Posted November 8, 2021 Came across a term called Huan-Ching in a paper I was reading but there was no reference associated with it. The full quote in the paper was “The yogic technique China sent back to India is called huan-ching, or “making the Yellow River flow backwards” Anyone out there familiar with this term and what it’s provenance (text/author/timeframe) is? I am interested to read more about it. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eduardo Posted November 8, 2021 Huan-ching (Chin., ‘allowing semen to return’). The control of semen, especially the prevention of ejaculation, as a redistribution of power of chi in the body, a prelude to meditation and sexual arts in Taoism. Also used in Tantric Buddhism and in yogic shaivist sects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sahaja Posted November 8, 2021 Thank you. Do you know which texts originally used this term? Seems like this definition is out there on the web but I couldn’t find any reference to a source text nor timeframe of original usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
