Align Yourself  in the Horse Stance
   Align your body in the basic  Horse  Stance  described  earlier. 3. Clo se the External  Vaginal  Orifice
    Isolate  and contract  the individual  muscle grou ps responsi ble
for tightly  closing  the external  vaginal  orifice. 4. Gather the Energy at the  Ovarian  Palace
   Gather  the energ y from the  ovaries  and the breasts  at the
Ovarian  Palace. Inhale  slowly and deeply . Draw the sexual  energ y
down through  the uterus  to the clitoris  and hold  it there. 5. Grip and Move the  Egg
   Contract  and hold  the lower; then  middle and upper  vaginal
muscles and feel your grip on the egg. Then push  the egg deepl y
up into the  vaginal  canal. Move it up and  down and feel the
increasing  sexual energy . 6. Begin Ovarian Breathing and the  Orgasmic Draw
   As yo u feel more energy  gathe r at the vaginal  canal,  follow  the
procedu res of Ovarian  Breathin g and the Orgasmic Draw . Pull the
energy  to the  front  part of the perineum, to  the sacrum, T-11,  C-7,
C-1, Jade  Pillow, and crow n. Circulate  the energy  in the brain  and
bring  it do wn the front  channel  to the  third  eye, tongue,  throat,  heart
center  solar  plexus  and navel. Collect  the energy  at the navel. Please
revie w the details  of the practice  of Ovarian  Breathing  and the
Orgas mic Dra w in Chapters  5 and  6. E. Vaginal Wei ght Lifting (Fig. 7.8)
    The onl y differenc e between the Egg Exercise  and Vaginal  Weight
Lifting  procedu re is the additio n of a weight to the  speciall y drilled
egg. As m entioned  earlier  in weight lifting,  we use wooden eggs. Usually  an egg is chosen  of approximately  a one- inch diam eter
with holes  drilled  in it through  which a string  can be threa ded for
attach ment  to a weight. Use a  sturdy  string  that can sustain  at
least ten to  twenty pounds  of weight, or use three  strands  of string. Begin with a one- half pound  weight. You can bu y a half- poun d plate
that has a  hole  through  which the string  can be tied,  or use a  small
cotton  or plastic bag  into w hich a weight can be placed  and the bag
easily  attache d to the egg’s  string  and hung. - 194  -Chapter VII

Fig. 7.8 Vaginal  Weight  Lifting
    Suspendin g weights from  the egg is a most effective  way to
increase  the strengt h of the pelvic and  uroge nital diaphragms and
the vaginal  muscles. This is also a  tremendous  exercise  for the
cervix, the  ovaries,  and the organs  and glands. With the increase
in weight the vagina  alone  does  not have  enough  strength  to lift the
weight, making it necessar y for all the  internal  organs  and glands
to join in contributi ng to the  strength. The heavier  the weight the
more counte r pressur e must be  exerted  by the vagina,  the cervix,
the ovaries,  the diaphra gm, the organs  and glands. This extended
effort  will result  in increase d Chi pressu re and hormone  producti on. Make  sure  you can handle  the weight well before  adding  more to it. - 195  -Egg Exercise s
   The exact  sequence  of steps  is then  follo wed as described  in
the Egg Exercise  above. This ti me, how ever do not move the  egg
up and dow n. Hold it b y tightening  and squeezing  the external  and
middle sections  of the vaginal  canal  around  the egg and pulling  the
egg up. Do not  release  it. This exercise  is to be  performed  one
time only , two to three  times per week, with the w eight gradu ally
increasing  in one- half pound  incre ments,  and not exceeding  ten
pounds. 1. Practical  Exercise  Step-By-S tep
A. Insert  the eg g while  holding the string and weight. Place a chair  in front  of you and then  place  the weight on the
chair:  If you are not already  prep ared, start  with the breast  massage,
follow ed by massaging  the mons, the perine um, and  the coccyx . When yo u feel the Chi is read y insert  the wooden egg with the
string  attached  into the vagina,  always attempting  to increase  the
force  of suction  used  to dra w it in. Use the other  hand  to hold  the
string  with the weight. B. Assume the  Horse S tance. Align your body in the basic  Horse  Stance  described  earlier. C. Grip the  egg using  the muscles  of the vaginal canal and
release the string and weight. Inhale,  closing the external  and internal  vagina  tightl y. At the  same
time contract  the uterus  so that  the vaginal  canal  has been  closed
on both ends. Inhale,  squeez e the egg tightl y, and pull it up until  you
feel you have  grippe d the egg firmly, then  slowly release  the string
with the weight attached. Do not  remove  your hand  in case y ou did
not grip the egg  firmly enoug h. If the egg with the weight attached
falls out,  it mi ght hurt  you. D. Use the cervix to pull the weight up. Hold  your breath  and contract  harde r. Inhale  and start  to pull
from the  cervix and  feel the force  of the cervix helping  to pull  up the
weight. When yo u feel you are holding  the egg  with the weight
securely  start  to rock the  pelvis,  thus  rocking  the weight, 30 to 60
times. (Fig. 7.9) This wi ll gene rate a tremendous  energ y. When
- 196  -Chapter VII
you feel the  energ y build  up, inhale  slow ly and deepl y down to the
ovaries,  gatheri ng your sexual energy , and carry it through  the uterus
and dow n to the  clitoris. Hold it there. Fig. 7.9 Swinging  the Weight Back and Forth. E. Emplo y all the muscles of  the vaginal canal. Contract  and hold the lo wer then  the middle and upper  vaginal
muscles, so that  the egg pushes  deeply  up into the  vaginal  canal
and the weight will not pull the egg out. - 197  -Egg Exercises
F. Bring  the energy into the head. Now  draw all the  energ y you have  just gather ed up the  spine
and into the head,  as y ou continue  to hold  the egg deepl y inside of
you
G. Continue  pulling the energy  into the  brain. Still holding  the sam e breat h, continue  gatheri ng and pulling  the
sexual  energy  up into the head,  where the brain  can no w be bathed
in this wondrous nouris hment. H. Hol d the  energy in the brain. Hold  this energ y in your brain,  initially  for 30 to 45  seconds,  and
graduall y increase  this time period. I. Bring the energy  to the navel. Finally , stick the  tongue  up to  the palate,  exhale,  bring  the energy
down, and collect it in the  navel  point. J. Rest the  weight on the chair  and ex pel the egg. Grip  the string  on the  weight and place  the weight on the chair
Let the egg  go, utilizing  the contractile  strength  of the  vaginal
muscles to expel  it. K. The ovaries pull and lift the  egg and weight upward. When you feel y ou can pull from the cervix w ell, begin  to use  the
force  of the  ovaries. You will try only the left side  first,  then  the right
ovary ; and finall y both  sizes togethe r When you feel you can once
again  secure  the egg  in the vaginal  canal,  use your mind and  start
to contract  the left ovar y, wrap the Chi arou nd that ovar y, and then
pull from the left  ovary  toward the cervix  and the vaginal  canal,
pulling  The egg  and attache d weight upward. Do the  same on  the
right side,  and then  both  sides  together. L. The kidneys pull the eg g and weight. Next mo ve to the  kidney s and the adrenal  glands  situated  on top
of them. Practice using  the force  of each  kidney  separat ely first in
order  to identif y the feeling. Inhale  and use the contracti on of both
kidney s to help  pull the weight up. Then,  starting  with the left kidne y
- 198  -Chapter  VII
and making sure  you feel the force  coming from  there,  use your
mind to contract  the muscles around  the left kidne y even  more,
and wrap it with Chi. Then  pull the left  kidney  dow n again,  pulling  it
toward the left ovar y and the bladd er. The ovary , in turn,  will pull on
the cervix: the  cervix will pull on the vaginal  canal;  the vaginal  canal
will pull on the egg:  and the egg will pull on the weight. In other
words, once  you have  secured  the egg in the vaginal  canal,  you
will pull with the higher  organs  and glands  which, in turn,  will pull on
the lower orga ns and glands,  and they , in their  turn,  will pull on the
egg and weight. Practice  the same procedu re with the right  kidney . Once  you have  mastered  the left and  right  kidne ys, com bine both
kidney s in the  practice. This w ill give you a great  deal  of internal
force  to pull  an even  heavier  weight. M. The spleen  and liver pull the egg and weight. Next mo ve up to  the spleen  and liver. Start again  on the  left side,
contracting  the muscles around  the spleen,  situated  beneath  the
left side  of the  rib cage. Contract  and wrap the Chi  around  and into
the spleen. Pull the  spleen  toward the left  kidney , pull the kidne y to
the bladder  and left ovar y, the left ovary  to the  cervix,  the cervix to
the vaginal  canal,  and the vaginal  canal  to the egg  and weight. Practice  the same procedur e on the liver which lies under  the right
side of  the rib cage. Pack, wr ap and pull the  liver  up and toward the
right kidney , to the  bladde r and right  ovar y, to the  cervix, to the
vaginal  canal,  and to the egg and weight. N. The lungs are emplo yed next. Movin g to the lungs,  start  with the left lung  first. Practice
contracting  the left lung  and wrapping Chi arou nd it until y ou actuall y
feel the lung  contracti ng. When you have  again  secured  the egg in
the vagina,  begin  to contract  the lung  with more force  and pull from
the lung  to the  spleen,  then  to the  kidney , bladder  and left ovary ,
cervix, vaginal  canal,  and egg and weight. Practice  in the  same
manner  on the right side, beginni ng with the right  lung. O. Be cautious  with  the heart as it pulls on the  egg and weight. As yo u move on to the  next organ,  the heart,  be cautious,  making
sure that you are well in control  of the other  organs  first. The heart
and lungs  can easily  become congeste d with ener gy and can cause
- 199  -Egg Exercises
chest  pain  and difficulty  in breathin g. If you have  this problem, tap
the area  aroun d the heart  and practice  the healing  sound  of the
heart  (as described  in the  book  Taoist Wa ys to Transform Stress
into Vitality). Practice  until  you can control  the contraction  of the
heart  muscle and  wrap the Chi arou nd the heart. Again,  secure  the
egg in the  vaginal  canal,  contract  the heart  and lungs  and pull up
toward the spleen,  liver  adrenal  glands  and kidne ys, bladd er and
ovaries,  cervix,  vaginal  canal,  egg and weight. P. The thymus gland is dif ficult  to contract. The th ymus gland  is difficult to contract  because  of its location
under  the sternum. The only way to do this is to  sink the  chest  and
sternum dow n, press  the sternu m to the  back,  and contract  and
wrap it with Chi. Mas tering this contraction  and wrapping the heart
and lungs  with Chi w ill help  greatl y in contracting  the thymus  gland. Once  again,  secure  the egg in the vaginal  canal,  sink the  sternum
to the  back  and contract  the lungs,  from left to  right,  toward the
thymus  under  the sternu m, then  contract  the heart  to the  thymus
which is in close proxim ity. Pressing  and contracting  the heart  will
greatly  increase  the force  of the  thymus. Feel all three  orga ns and
the gland  create  the force  to pull the spleen,  liver, kidne ys, bladder
ovaries,  cervix,  vaginal  canal,  egg and weight. Q. Pulling  from the pituitary  and p ineal  glands all the  way to
the brain. The pituitar y and pineal  glands  are the most difficult  to ma ster If,
however you master all the  other  organs , these  glands  will be easier
to learn  to control. The tongue  and eyes act as ma jor tools in  exerting
force  on the pituitary  and pineal  glands. Practice first, b y pressing
the tongue  to the palate  and turning  the eyes upw ard. Contract  the
eye muscles toward the middle of  the brain  to the  pituitar y gland. Contract  the muscles of  the skull and  squeeze  the brain  into itself
toward the pituitary  gland,  located  in the mi ddle of the  brain. Concentrat e on and contract  the middle part of the anus  and pull
all the  way up into the brain. Contract  the lungs,  heart  and thymus
gland  and push  up toward the middle of the  brain. Now secure  the
egg in the  vaginal  canal,  press  your tongue  firmly to the palate  with
the tip of the tongu e, touching  the lower jaw behind  the teeth  and
the flat part  of the tongue  touchin g the middle of  the palate. Turn
- 200  -Chapter VII
your eyes up to ward the middle of the  brain,  and squeeze  the head
muscles toward the brain’s  middle area. Contract  the lungs,  heart,
and thymus  gland,  and press  upw ard to the middle section  of the
brain. The pituitar y gland,  togeth er with all of the  other  glands  and
organs  pull up  the spleen,  liver  kidney s, bladder,  ovaries,  cervix,
vaginal  canal,  egg and weight. Repeat  the practice,  now focusing
on the pineal  gland. When finished  with all of these  steps,  make sure  that y ou circulate
the energy  for a few rounds  in the  Microc osmic Orbit,  finall y
collecting  it in the  navel. Since  all the  steps  of this  exercise  are
very important  and extre mely powerful, you must use  caution. Graduall y you will feel all the  organs  and glands  contributin g to the
internal  force  that will pull the weight. If yo u have  already  mastered
the organs’  orgasm, y ou will handle  this exercise  with ease. R. Cleanse the Egg Thoroughly. Since the  mucous  secretions  on the  egg are an ideal  medium
for bacterial  growth, be sure  to cleanse  the egg thoro ughly after
each  use. S. Mas sage yourself. Massa ge the Hui- Yin point  in the  perine um. Massa ge the mons
and the coccyx. This m assaging  after  each  exercise  is ver y
important. It will help  you clear  the remaining  energ y so that  the
body  can absorb  it easil y.
T. Channel  the energy in  the Microcosmic  Orbit. Gentl y tap the lower abdomen  with your palm  to remove  the
excess ener gy from  the ovaries,  vagina  and clitoris. Sit down quietl y
and channel  the excess  energ y in the  Microc osmic Orbit,  so that
all your organs  will benefit. F. Herbs t o Tone Your  Ovaries  - Special Recipes for Wo men
    Women who experienc e any weakness of their  sexual organs
will find it quite  to their  advanta ge to follow  two of Ma neewan Chia’s
simple and delicious  recipes. 1. Ovaries’  Strengthening  Tonic
To graduall y increase  the energ y flow in the  ovaries,  sample this
- 201  -Egg Exercise s
mixture. 1  cup w hiskey
      1  cup hone y
      1  cup lem on juice
   Stir the  mixture w ell until  the honey  dissolves. Store  the mixture
in a previously  sterilized  jar. Shake  the jar well befor e each  use. Drink one  to two tablespo ons daily . Caution:  If you are experiencing  a ver y heav y menstrual  flow,
refrain  from taking  the mixture for a few days until  you have
normalized. This recipe  will last several  months, and  the more it
ages,  the better  it becomes. Store  it in a cool  dry place. 2. Don Quai-Chicken  Soup
   As an  herb  containing  num erous  invaluable  prop erties,  Don Quai
should  become an  integral  com ponent  of a woma n’s health  care
regimen. Loade d with good  nutrition  for the  ovaries  and hormones,  this
herb is essentiall y requi red by a woman’s  body  throug hout her life-
time. It is especially  good  as a blood  tonic, being  quite  rich in iron,
and it is great  for alleviating  a variet y of menstrual  problems. Don
Quai is taken  only  one to two times per  month and only  after the
menstrual  cycle has ended,  never  during  the cycle. This herb  can be obtained  in Chinese  herb  stores  located  in
every  Chinato wn. Many of these  stores  have  mail order  services. Simply place  one to two heads  of the  herb  (about  one inch  in
size) in  chicken  broth  or soup,  and season  as desired. Simmer in
a slo w cooker  for approxi matel y three  to five  hours. Vegetaria ns can make Don  Quai in the  same m anner  using  the
slow cooker  and a meatless broth. After  using  Don Quai  on a regula r basis  for a one-  or two-month
peroid,  you will notice  a definite  increase  in yo ur strength. G. Sunning  (Fig. 7.10 )
   If you are lucky  enoug h to have  a sunn y area  with som e privac y;
you will proba bly enjoy  this practice. The sun’s  energ y is very  healing  and soothing  to the  genitals
and can be absor bed by the ovaries  throu gh the genitals. The best
time of da y is in the  early morning  (between seven  a.m. and  nine
a.m.) and  in the late  afterno on (between three  p.m. and  five p.m.)

Dual Cultivati on
A. Introduction to Dual Cultivation
1. Opening the Healing Love Energy Channel
    Most  people  would agre e that sex is enjoy able. In this book  you
are learning  how  to utilize the  normal sexual  energ y that you create
and how  to multiply  it. By  now  you should  be a ware of the  fact that
if you do not  transfo rm the sexual  energ y that you produce,  but let
it drain  out, you lessen  your vitality . This is accompanied  by more
and more ps ychologic ally draining  effects,  such  as tiredness  or
depressio n, or actual  physical  suffering,  such  as pain  in the  back
or kidney areas. If you continue  to deplete  yourself,  eventually  you
will drain  the vitality  from all the  organs  and glands,  making the
body  weak, sick and old. As previous  chapters  have  indicated,  in order  to transform the
sexual  energy , you must direct  it up ward to a higher  ener gy center. Doing  this requir es channelin g the flow of this ener gy. We have
stressed  the need  and importance  of opening  the chann els of the
Microcosmic Orbit,  the main route  through  which the energ y begins
to travel. In ancient  times, the  ways to develop  Chi flo w were regarde d as
top secret,  especially  the way to channel  sexual  healing  energy . Sexual ener gy is extremely  pow erful as a me ans to attain
rejuvenatio n and a higher  spiritual  energy . There are textbooks,
such as the  Plain Lady book,  a sexology  book  written thousan ds of
years ago in ancient  China  by an unkno wn autho r, demonstrating
various  tradition al positions  for having  sex and  promoting  healing . But these  books  do not show  how to channel  the energ y. At the
time this book  became available,  the Taoist system of  channelin g
energy  was not available  to the gene ral public,  but remained  a
secret  taught  only verball y to the Emperor  and a few others  who
were not permitted  to put  it into  writing. We feel toda y that the time is right  to teach  people  how to benefit
from this transfo rmed ener gy, or Healing  Love,  becaus e many
people  misuse their sexual ener gy, hurting  them selves  and others. - 205  -Dual Cultivation
Our purpose  in writing this book  is to  help  people  benefit  from  the
channeling  of this energ y. 2. Sexual Organs are the Roots of  Life. The Taoist s ystem rega rds the sexual  organs  as the  roots  of
life, connecte d to all other  glands  and organs. Once  you begin  to
practice  the methods  taught  in this book,  you will begin  to feel the
close relatio nship  of the  glands  and orga ns, especiall y the pineal
and pituitary  glands,  kidney s, liver, lungs,  and heart. 3. Energizing  all the Organs and Glands
   The ovaries  have  a close  connection  with the sexual  organs,
and by prope rly channeli ng their energy  using  certain  love making
and hand  positions,  we can learn  to use sexual  healing  energy  to
vitalize our  entire  systems. There  are hundre ds of love making
positions  and hand  gestures. The purpose  of a position  is to
stimulate, accordin g to reflexes,  and to energize  all the  internal
organs. These  positions  help  only if the  energ y channel  throu gh
which you move the  energ y upw ard is open;  other wise, the
lovemaking  positions  and hand  gestures  will not have  much
meaning. The exercises  describe d in this book  are part of the
Healing  Love  practice:  however to a certain  extent,  they  can also
stand  alone  as guidelines  to your own sexual practice. In particular
the Anus Chi Muscl e exercise  and the Breast  Mass age will help
you get in  touch  with your organs’  and glands’  energ y. 4. Exchanging  Energy  with  your Partner
   Man y couples  have  used  the techniq ues describ ed here;  they
are no longer  mysterio us and they are no longer  only in the province
of Taoist M asters. These techniq ues can increase  the possibility
that you will experienc e Beyond Orgasm (Valle y Orgas m) whenever
you have  the desire. This is one  of the  goals  of this book. Synchronizing  your breathi ng with your partner’s  and then
harmonizing  your breathing  seems to  come quite  naturall y to ma ny
people. Lying with noses  in proxim ity, you begin  to feel  the two
breaths  be com e one. Breathing  in and  out together  is the  principal
way to begin  to build  up Chi in  both  you and your partner:  This
buildup  of Chi can  be a relaxing  time, or it can  be arousing,  dependi ng
upon  your intention . - 206  -Chapter  VIII
No doubt  you and your partner  are both  eager  to enjoy  your sexual
pleasures  together . Use this  book  as a  tool in learning  how  to practice
and use the Orgasmic Draw  in order  to mu ltiply your orgasms and
bring  you both  to the point  of Valley  Orgasm. As yo u practice  the
Orgas mic Dra w, your partne r practices  the Big Dra w as taught  in
the companion  book  Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual
Energy. These practices  will give  you both  a great  deal  of ener gy to
share. This energ y can be transfe rred back  and forth  between you
and your partne r throug h your tongu es or genitals- -each  organ  acting
as a switch to transfe r energ y between the two channels  that
complete  each  one’s  Microcosmic Orbit. In fact, w ith practice  you
will be able  to exchange  energy  in a variet y of ways, including  over
physical distance. Som e people  will actuall y feel the energ y circulate
in their  own Microcosmic Orbit  and will feel that energy  transfe r
into their partner. Some couples  have  describe d the feeling  of the
energy  as a cocoon  surroun ding them, and  som e feel  the energ y
betw een them or above  them. 5. Valley Orgasm an d Hhw to get there. Difficult to  explain  in words, a person  must reach  a certain  level
in lovem aking  to understa nd what is me ant by Valle y Orgasm
(Beyond Orgasm). The ma jor sensation  is the atmosphere  between
you and your lover. lf yo u are both  in a low mood, or  one of you is
in a low energy  cycle, it beco mes difficult to reach  this point. Medit ating  to mo ve the  energ y in the  Micr ocosmic Orbit  will help
bring  each  of you to the same energ y level and  is mo st im portant
to the  initiation  of sexual  pleasure. The m ore y ou and your partn er
can meditate and  practice  the Orgas mic and  Big Dra w togethe r
the more both  of you will harmonically  tune  in to each  other. Practicing  such  techniques  as Tongue  Kung Fu,  as described
in the  book  Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy,
will greatl y contribute  to foreplay  and sexual  arousal. When yo u
feel you are read y to engag e in love making,  and have  built  up sexual
arousal  substanti ally you can begin  to use  the Orgasm ic Draw ,
while your partn er uses  the Big Dra w. After each  Orgasmic or  Big
Draw , the energ y starts  to mo ve betw een you, fusing  you into an
energetic  or meditative state  that can make you both  feel connected
and simultaneo usly experienc e a cosmic tranquility . You can
understa nd how  difficult  it is to describe  this state;  it is si milar to
- 207  -Dual Cultivation
describing  what meditation  feels like. You must experienc e it
yourself. In order  for you and your partn er to experienc e the energ y,
you must begin  with the basic training  describe d in this chapter
initially  using  som e external  help  (i.e.,  breathin g techniqu es, muscle
locks, placing  of hands,  etc.) to guide  you into the internal  practice
(mind control). We will elaborat e on a few love making  and hand
positions  to help  you and your partner  open  the channels  faster  so
that the exchange  of Valley  Orgasms wi ll be easier. 6. Sexual Organs’  Exercise  Positi ons
    There  are a few basic positions  that we use in lovem aking,  and
from these  basic  few com e hund reds of others. Man y simply alter
the positions  of the  legs:  one leg up and one leg do wn, or both  legs
up, etc. This slight  differential  accounts  for many positions,  but as
we have  emphasized,  although  certain  positions  help  you to reach
a certain  area  of the sexual  organs  to stim ulate  certain  reflexes,  it
is the  channeling  of the  sexual  healing  energy  that is mo st im portant. If you cannot  channel  the energy ; these  positions  and hands
gestures  are meaningless. The nine  basic  positions  are as follow s:
A. Face to Face
   (1) The w oman  lies on her  back  with the man on top. (Fig. 8.1(a ))
   (2) The w oman  lies on her side w ith her hips t wisted so that  her
pelvis is facing  upward. (Fig. 8.1(b ))
   (3) The ma n lies  on his  back with the woman  on top. (Fig. 8.1(c))
   (4) The ma n is in  a sitting  position  and the woman  sits on his
lap. (Fig. 8.1(d))
   (5) The ma n and  woman  lies on  their  sides  facing  each  other
(Fig. 8.1(e) )
B. Back Facing
   (1) The w oman  bends  over:  supportin g herself  with her hands
and knees,  and the man kneels  behind  her: (Fig. 8.2(a) )
   (2) The ma n lies  on his  back,  while the woma n is on  her knees
facing  his feet. (Fig. 8.2 (b))
   (3) The ma n sits up, and  the woman  sits on his  lap facing  his
feet. (Fig. 8.2(c))
   (4) The ma n and  woman  lies on  their  sides  with the man facing
the woman’s  back. (Fig. 8.2(d))

- 210  -Chapter  VIII
   The basic  principle  is that  the one who moves is the  one who
brings  healing  to the  other  while the one who does  not mo ve
receives  the healing. The inactive  person  can easil y concentra te. When the mi nd is quiet,  this partne r will be able  to feel  his or  her
partner’s  sexual  healing  energ y. 7. Hand Ge stures  link the Meridians of the Fingers and Toes
with their  Corresp onding Organs. The hands  and feet are the outer  extrem ities of the  body and
they are linked  to the  organs,  glands  and nervous  system through
a system of  meridians,  or ener gy routes,  through  which the energ y
of the  organs  and glands  flows. Finger  gestur es have  been  used
frequentl y in the  ritual  Taoist practices  and are most useful  to jo in
the circuit and  chann el the energ y through  the meridians. In love making  we stimulate and  increas e the sexual  healing
energy  to flo w throu gh the subtle  meridian  chann els. If we do not
direct  the energy  back  from  the extremities, the  energ y can leak
out through  the hands  and feet. Knowing the fingers’  and toes’
correspo nding meridians  can help  to develop  the ability  to channel
the outw ard flow of energ y back through  the meridians to the  area
you choose  to direct  it. There  are hundr eds of hand  gestur es used  in various  other
systems. If y ou are not trained  and familiar with their  usage,  you
will not be able  to discern  their  pow er, althoug h many people  claim
to have  such  abilit y. Some people  spend  a lot  of tim e learning  many
gestures  which in actualit y have  similar uses or  only one use. When
careful  stud y is ma de, there  are only a few basic hand  positions
that are effective. The sim plest ones  are the mo st useful;  however
the most important  factor  is the  energ y flow, not the simplicity. A. Fingers and their Corresponding Organs

B. Descriptions  of Positions and Hand Gestures for Healing
Love
1. Love Making Positions
   According  to the Plain Lady book  mentioned  above  (also  called
Shu Nu  Ching,  or White Madame ), there  are eight  healing  positions
for men and  seven  for wome n. All these  positions  are helpful  to
heighten  the love making  experience,  but their  most important
- 213  -Dual Cultivation
function  is healing:  throug h the use of the  energ y that is generat ed. Since the Plain  Lady, book  does  not teach  moving energ y, a process
which requir es meditation  practice,  all the  positions  describe d in
that book  for healing  have  to be practiced  many times a day for
many days to reap  any benefits. In the  sexual  healing  energy  practice
we are describing  here,  we began,  with such  energy  practices  as
Ovarian  Breathing , the Orgas mic Up ward Draw , the Egg Exercise,
etc., all  of w hich assist y ou in gaining  control  of your sexual  energy
and directing  the ener gy to the place  that you designat e without
merely  depen ding upon  reflexes  and the positions  used. Although  we will describe  in detail only two positions,  these  two
positions  can be used  to benefit  both  partners . As both  partne rs
alternatel y move, the y alternat ely bring  Chi to the  area,  gland  or
organ  of his or  her partne r: Rem ember the basic principle  is that
the one who moves is the  one who brings  healing  to the  other  while
the one who does  not move can  easil y quiet  the mind and
concentrat e to feel and receive  the partner’s  sexual  healing  ener gy. Once  you master the  energ y and can direct  the energy  as you
wish using  the mind and  some mu scles, the  positions  and gestures
will not be very important. A. Man  on Top Positi on (Fig. 8.5)
    This is the  most co mmon of the  love making  positions. The
woma n lies on  her back  with her legs  spread. She may  have  a
pillow  under  her buttocks  to raise  her pelvis. The  man lies flat on
top of the  woma n or supports  some or  all of his we ight on his
elbows, hands  or knees. Rem ember the Taoist theory  that men
are like fire  and wome n are like water: Fire is easy  to light,  or is
activated  faster  and burns  easil y, as mo st me n usuall y become
active sexually  initiall y and seem aggressive. A woma n, like water
may be passive  in the beginning,  and usually  needs  to be moved to
lovemaking  by a man. So in the  beginni ng of love making,  it is
beneficial  for the woman  to lies on  her back  and the man to use
foreplay  to bring  the woman  to the  boiling  point. Once  a woman  is
active and aroused,  she should  play  an active,  or aggressive,  part
also b y such  activities as  kissing him , playing with his tongue  and
ears,  and holding  and massaging  his penis. All these  activities  will
create  a sense  of harmony . Ordinarily  the couple  will then  first move
into the basic  position,  and then continue  with other  positions,  most
likely  ending  up in  the basic ma n on top position  again. - 214  -Chapter VIII
Fig. 8.5 Man on Top  Position
8. Benefits of the Man on To p Position
   There  are benefits  to this position. (1) First,  the entire  systems of  both  the woman  and man become
energize d. The Plain  Lady book  recom mends practicing  three  sets
of nine  shallo w penetr ations  and one deep  penet ration three  times
a day for twenty days. (The  nine  shallo w thrusts  stimulate the  plexus
of nerves  surroun ding the woman’s  G-Spot  and are best  for
exchanging  sexual  energies,  while the deep  thrust  forces  air out of
the vagina,  creating  a vacuum inside  the w oman  during  the nine
shallow  thrusts  that follow . This has  a ver y stimulating  effect  on the
- 215  -Dual Cultivation
woma n.) In ma ny years of experience  in teaching  and practice,  we
have  found  that both  partn ers can be  energi ed in one extended
lovemaking  session  in which sexual healing  energ y is brought
directly  to the  organs  and glands. We stress the  importance  of the
man not  ejaculating  and thus losing the  energ y. In this mo re passive
position  it is eas y for the woman  to dra w and direct  the healing
energy  up the  spine,  as she learne d to do in Single  Cultivation
practicing  the Orgasmic Upw ard Draw , and then  dow n the front
channel. In this w ay she w ill be able  to guide  the sexual healing
energy  to her  organs  and eventuall y through  her partner’s  Orbit  to
his organs. (2)  Secondl y, the face  to face position  is greatly  satisf ying to the
senses  and emotions. It perm its all five sensor y organs  of both
partners  to come in contact:  the tongues,  ears,  eyes, mouths,
noses,  and all hair  and skin. These senses,  especiall y the tongu es
and eyes, are the major carriers  of life- force  energ y. We have
mentioned  that the tongue  works like a switch. Once  you have
completed  the Microcosmic Orbit  by using  the connectiv e tongue ,
the Chi flow s throug h the tongue. As yo u kiss and  move yo ur tongue
to touch  your partner  or his  tongue  touches  your sensor y organs,
you can feel  those  senses  become stim ulated  which, in turn,
stimulate the flow of energ y from yo ur correspo nding organs . (3)  In this position  it is easy  for the woma n and man to help
each  other  open  or clear their Microcosmic Orbit  channels  easily
by moving a hand  to the point  that needs  the energ y flow. (4)  This position  also  gives  a woman  the greates t stim ulation. Her clitoris  is stim ulated,  and the man is able  to reach  her G-Spot. The we ight of the  man on top gives  pressure  to the  woman’s  pubic
bone,  as well as to  her breasts,  and these  pressures  will help  the
woma n become sti mulated  much faster. (5)  The w oman  can follo w rhythmicall y by wrigglin g her hips,
bumping  and grinding  in respons e to the pressure  of the  man as
he presses  dow n and thrusts  inside. These  movements create  a
certain  kind  of Chi  pressure  in the  organs  and glands,  doubling  the
Chi in the  cavities  of the  body, there by permitting the  energ y to
circulate  much faster  and exchange  more easil y. (6)  In this position,  the farthe r up in the  air the woman  legs  are,
the deeper  the penetratio n the man can  accomp lish in his thrustin g,
making this a particularl y good  position  for a couple  trying for a
pregna ncy. It is important,  how ever to make sure  that the uterus  is
not penetrat ed. - 216  -Chapter  VIII
Fig. 8.6 Wom an on Top  Position
C. Wo man on Top Position (Fi g. 8.6)
   Kno wn as the  sixth position  in the  Plain Lady book,  the position
with the woma n on top will help  to increase  blood  circulation. As we  live our  modern  lives, we have  a tendency  to overeat  fatty
foods  which cause  the blood  to clot  and settle in certain  parts  of
the organs. This clotting  causes  a slow -down of the blood  flow and
creates  a situation  in which heat  cannot  be release d or circulated
to a cooler  part of the body  where the temperatures  can be
exchanged . The tem peratu re of the  whole body  rises,  resulting  in
an overheatin g of the organs. During  love making  when we generat e
sexual,  organ,  and gland  energ y and fuse  them into  a ver y special
kind of  energ y which we call Love’s  Special Energ y, a harmonic
- 217  -Dual Cultivation
fusion  occurs  which helps  to dissolve  these  blood  clots. The kidney s
and liver pla y the major role  in this w ork. In this position,  the man can  easil y pull sexual  energ y to the
kidney s and liver. When the woman  is on top,  the woman  is freer  to
be active and  so it is easy  for her  to direct  the stimulation  of the
vagina  and clitoris  and maintain  a certain  angle  to her  sexual  organs
in a way that only  she knows will stim ulate  her. Therefore,  this
position  can help  a woman  with menstrual  problems, such  as
cramps, mo st of which are caused  by insufficient  blood  circulation
in the  ovaries  and cervix. By directly  stimulating  the sexual  glands,
the clitoris,  and the G-Spot, and  pulling  the sexual  healing  energy
directly  to the  ovaries  and cervix, the  problem can  be alleviated. To attain  this position  the man lies on  his back  and the woma n,
on her knees  and facing  him, low ers herself  onto  his erect  penis. Either the man or w oman  can guide  the penis  into the  vagina. Couples  may  start  in this position  or arrive  at it by rolling  over  from
the man on top or  the side  by side  position. Begin  with the man in
motion in  order  for the woman  to receive  the healing  energy  and
reach  the boiling  point. Embrace  each  other  making sure  you do
not bend  the penis  or let it slip out  of the vagina. D. Benefits and Drawbacks of the Woman on Top Positi on
There  are both  good  and bad points  to this position. (1) The w oman  on top  makes the  woman  experience  a mo re
active role, a sense  of superiorit y, a free  feeling  of mo vement, and
a sense  of doing  whatever she wishes . This helps  to ma ke the
woma n more open  to the w orld and able  to better  unde rstan d men. Some women  become tense  when they  consider  that men try to
rule the world in every  respect. However it is the rule of nature  that
Yin and Yang must be balanc ed. In ever y situation  women  play  an
equally  important  role. In Taois m we regard  timing as ver y important. When the Y ang is too  extreme, the  Yin takes  over. When the Yin is
too extre me, the  Yang takes  over. Like wise, during  the begin ning of
sex the  man is on  top to arouse  the woman , because  he, like fire,
is aroused  more easil y than  the woma n. Once  the woman  is
aroused,  she will assume the  top position  to arous e the man. In
this w ay the roles  are interch angeable . In the top  position  the w oman  can experie nce putting  the penis
into her vagina,  and can take  as long  as she desires  to insert  it to
give the  feeling  of prolon ged genital  sensitivit y. Both w ill feel the
- 218  -Chapter VIII
gentleness  of the  slowly spreadi ng vagina  as the  penis  is inserted. (2)  The w oman  can direct  the glans  of the penis  to stim ulate  it in
the most sensitive way by placing  it only in the two inches  that form
the outer  vagina. It is difficult for a man to remain in only the first
two inches. The ma n tends  to w ant to plunge  deepe r into the tighter
area which alleviates  his anticipatio n, but which also, becaus e of
its tightness,  makes him finish  fast. The w oman  receives  the sexual  healing  energ y by permitting
the man to do  the thrusting  as she  guides  his penis to the  area  she
would like to have  stim ulated. In this position  the man or w oman
can use their  hands  to stim ulate  the clitoris  which will help  the
woma n reach  the boiling  point  faster. (3)  The ma n can enjoy  the stim ulation  of liver  energ y by using
his e yes to w atch the expression  of the  arouse d woman,  her face
and her breasts,  and see the  sexual  organs  in contact,  moving in
and out of each  other. Once  the eyes are stim ulated,  the man can
bring  the sexual  energy  to the  liver b y slightly  contracti ng the right
size of  the anus. The woma n can use her free hand  to arouse  her
nipples,  or her partne r’s nipples. This w ill greatly  stim ulate  both
partners’  organs  and glands. (4)  The w oman  on top  is a good  position  for the later  months of
pregna ncy since  it allow s interco urse without her growing belly
getting  in the w ay. It is also  good  for the man wh o has a  big stomach
in relieving  the pressu re since,  during  the sexual  act, the  stom achs
will meet first rather  than  the sex organs . Older  men, and  men wh o
have  heart  problems, are also helped  by this position  since  the
man does  not expend  vigoro us energ y Because  the man can  be
less active,  he can easil y guide  the energ y to strengt hen the heart. (5)  The w oman  on top  has to be ver y careful  that she does  not
move too  vigorously  which may bend  and hurt the erect  penis. This type of injury takes a long  time to heal. Mak e sure  that the
penis  has a full erection . If the  penis  becomes soft,  start  with slow
movements to  build up again  to the  high  energ y point. When the
penis  is soft, or  during  vigorous  thrusting,  the penis  can slip out  or
half-way out of the  vagina,  and this is w hen it can  get hurt easily
2. Traditional Lovemaking Positi ons and He aling
The follow ing are a few classic lovem aking  and healing  positions
as outlined  in the  Plain  Lady book. We list these  positions  for your
referenc e only. With a properl y opened  energy  chann el you can
guide  the energ y to heal  yourself as y ou wish at an y time and  in
- 219  -Dual Cultivation
any position,  so it does  not ma tter at all how  many positions  you
use. For the most part you can use the few basic  positions  as
outlined  and change  them  into hundr eds of positions. We want you
to concent rate on the ener gy, not on the positions  or gestures. Practice  will help  you to understan d the energ y. Man y people  like to
read and listen  to philosop hy but if the y do not practice  and
experience  it, the y find it very  difficult to  understa nd. Working on
the energy  is the  best  way to experience  the higher  spiritual  work. There  are several  positions  of healing  for men and  wome n.
Remember that  when the man is mo re active, he  gives  the healing. The woma n lies still to receive  it, quietin g her mind to  feel the ener gy.,
and using  her concentr ation  to guide  the ener gy only for the purpose
and to the  place  she needs  healing. When the  man lies still, the
woma n does  the healing. For me nstrua l problems, loss of
feeling in the vagin a and other
complications in the fem ale sexual
organs, the woman l ies on the sid e,
toward  the back with  the le gs wide
open. Fig. 8.7 First Position  is for  Healing. - 220  -Chapter  VIII
A. The  First Positi on is for Healing (Fig. 8.7). The first  position  is for  healing,  supply ing energ y for wome n who
are experiencin g any kind  of me nstrual  problem, such as  cramps
or excessive bleedin g, loss of feeling  in the  vagina,  or any other
female problem. The  woman,  lying on either  side or  on her back
with her legs  spread  wide open,  has the  task  simply to maintain
that position  and receive  the healing  energ y of the  man w ho is
acco mmodating  her position  with his o wn and is penetrati ng. Practice  up to  two sets  of nine  penetr ations  in this  position  per day
for fifteen  days. Fig. 8.8 Second Position  is for  Energizing  the Body  and Healing the
                          Sexual Organs. B. The Second Position is for energizing the body and healing
the sexual organs. (Fig. 8.8)
  Position  number  two is for  energizin g the body, and is especiall y
beneficial  to those  who suffer  from low energ y. By healing  the fema le
sexual  organs,  the basic  energizin g organs  of the  body, gene ral
weakness  and lack of  energ y will be improved. To achieve  this
- 221  -Dual Cultivation
position,  the woman  lies on her  back  with her head  and shoulders
supporte d by a big  pillow , and the legs  spread  wide apart. This
position  tilts the  head  forward and tends  to curve  the vaginal  channel. The m an enters  from the  front,  penetr ating  in three  sets of  nine,
three  times a day for twenty days. For stren gtheni ng the organs of the
female, both partners l ie on the sid e.
The woman bends b ackward  both legs. The ma le lies in the front,  movi ng
rhythmica lly in sets of  nine. Fig. 8.9 Third  Position  is for  Strengthening  all the Internal Organs
C. Position Three  is for strengthening  all the  Internal  Organs
. (Fig. 8.9)
   The third  position  is for healing  and strength ening all the intern al
organs. The woma n lies on  either  side with both  legs held  togeth er
and bent  back ward from the  knees. The ma n, lying in front  of her:
penetrat es from the front,  performing  four sets of  nine  penetrati ons
up to four  times a da y for twenty days. - 222  -Chapter VIII
D. Position Four is for Healing Bone Problems. (Fi g. 8.10)
   The fourth  position  is for  healing  any kind  of bone  problems,
such as bone  weakness. In addition  to helping  speed  up the healing
process  of broken  bones,  this position  also alleviates  circulatory
system problems and  heals  arthritis. (One  cause  of arthritis,
according  to Chinese  medicine, is bad  circulation. ) By increasin g
metabolis m and  thereb y circulation,  the risk  of disease  of the  bone
marrow , or leukemia, is also  lessened. To attain  this position,  the
woma n lies on  her left side w ith the left  leg bent  backw ard as far as
possible,  and her right  leg stretched  out straight  and free. The man
faces  the w oman  to penet rate, practicing  five sets of nine
penetrati ons, up to  five tim es a day for ten days. For weakness in the bones a nd joi nts
and circ ulation problems, the woman
lies on the left side with the left  bent
backwards  as far as possib le. The ri ght
leg should be straight. the ma n lies on
his ri ght side facing the woman,
penetrating ge ntly in a rhythm of ni ne. Fig. 8.10 Fourth  Position  is for Healing  Bone  Problems. - 223  -Dual Cultivation
E. The Fifth Positi on heals Bloo d Vessel Problems. (Fig. 8.11)
   Position  number  five is for  any kind  of blood  vessel  problem,
such as varicose  veins,  harde ning of the  arteries,  high  or low blood
pressure,  or blood  clots. Excessive  blood  clotting,  practicall y ignored
in Western me dicine,  is a very important  part of the  theor y of
patholog y in Chinese  med icine,  and is treate d as a kind  of blood
disease. The position  is the same as the  fourth  position,  except  it
is executed  with the woman  on her right  side in  six sets of  nine
penetrati ons, up to  six ti mes a da y for ten da ys. For blood vessel pro blems, varicose
veins,  hardening of the arter ies and hi gh
blood pressur e, the woman li es on her
right side with the right le g bent back as
far as possib le. the left leg is strai ght
while  the ma n penetrates,  moving in a
rhythm of nine
Fig. 8.11  Fifth Position  Heals Bloo d Vessel Problems
- 224  -Chapter  VIII
For increas ing bl ood pro duction, hi gh blood
pressur e or other blood-related problems,
the ma n lies on his back while  the woman
sits on top facing hi m. The woman remains
pass ive while the ma n moves. Fig. 8.12  Sixth  Position  increa ses Blood  Count. F. Position Six increases  Blood Count. (Fig. 8.12)
    This position  is for  gener ating  and building  more blood,  especiall y
in those  who lack the  capacit y for genera ting new  blood,  such as  a
woma n who bleeds  excessivel y or is anemic. It is also  beneficial  in
stabilizing  blood  pressur e. For this position  the man is on  his back
in a relaxed  position  and the woman  is upright,  facing  him, on her
knees  and on top of him . She does  not move; it is the man wh o
moves up  and dow n beneath  her: The w oman  must sprea d her
legs appr opriately  to be able  to hold  this position  properl y. - 225  -Dual Cultivation
G. Position Seven is for Lymphatic  System Problems. ( Fig. 8.13)
   This position  improves  the functioning  of the  lymphatic
system.The man again  lies on his  back and  relaxes  while the
woma n kneels  over  him facing  toward his feet on her  hands  and
knees. the man penetr ates and moves in this position. The w oman
can move slightly  if she  chooses,  but basicall y it is the  man who is
giving  the healing. For pro blems rel ated to the l ymphatic
system,  the man lies on h is back, the
woman over  him on her knees. The woman
remains stil l, while  the ma n moves  in sets
of nine. Fig. 8.13 Seventh Position  is for  Lymph atic Syste m Position. H. Position Eight is to tone the entire  Body. (Fig. 8.14)
  This position  is for  healing  the body in general. It is a difficult
position. The w oman  is on her  knees  and bending  all the  way over
backw ards, as far back as  she can go. The farthe r she can bend
and the closer  she comes to a backbend,  the more ideal. If it is
impossible to  go very  far, use a pillo w to prop  yourself up, and bend
- 226  -Chapter  VIII
as far  back  as y ou can without hurting  yourself,  spreadin g the legs
wide enoug h so that the man can penet rate from  the front. He
performs mo st of the  movement. For all-purpose h ealing the woman should
lie on her back with  the le gs bent at  the
knees a nd the back flat  on the b ed. The
man penetrates from the front,  movi ng in
sets of nine. Fig. 8.14 Eighth Position  is to  tone the Entire Body. I. Position  Nine  is for lack  of Energy. (Fig. 8.15)
   This position  is for  those  who feel w eak all the  time, have  blurr y
eyes, perspire  frequentl y and profusel y often  feel faint, experience
fast heart beats,  or any similar s ympto ms. During  contact  in this
position,  the woman  is basicall y the one who moves, rotating  her
hips in  a circular  patter n, and it is she w ho does  the healing. If the
man beco mes too excited and in danger  of ejaculating,  the woman
- 227  -Dual Cultivation
has to rest  for a while. The man can  perform the,  Big Draw  to
regain  control  or rest so  that he does  not ejaculate. The w oman  is
on her back, and  the ma n, leaning  on his hands  so as not to  put all
of his  weight on her  penet rates  from the  front  as deeply  as possible. This will allow enough  room for  the woma n to rotate,  first nine  times
in a clockwise direction,  resting,  rotating  nine  times in a
counterclock wise direction,  and then  resting  again. If it is
comfortable,  she can rotate  all the  way around. She is doing  the
work, and should  continue  to do  so until  she feels she  has genera ted
enough  energ y. This can  be practiced  nine  times a day  for ten
days. Fig. 8.15  Nine Position  is for  Lack of Energy. - 228  -Chapter  VIII
J. Position  Ten heals the  Sexual Glands and Organs,  the
Endocrine  Gland s, the Pancreas  and Liver. (Fig. 8.16)
   This position  helps  to heal  and improve the  functionin g of the
sexual  glands,  sexual  organs,  endocrine  glands  and liver. It is
particularl y good  for those  suffering  from diabetes. For this position
the woman  lies on  her back  and wraps her legs around  the man ’s
thighs,  not his buttocks  or back. The ma n penet rates  shallo wly an
inch and  a half  using  only  the head  of the  penis. The w oman  rotates
her hips both clockw ise and countercl ockwise for nine  times and
then rests. Initially  she can rotate  nine times in one direction  and
then rest,  and then  return  nine  times in the  opposite  direction  and
rest. Fig. 8.16 Tenth Position  heals the Sexu al Gland s and Organs,  the

3. Basic Hand Positions to Energize  the Body. (Fig. 8.17)
     Using  hands  to assist in the  circulation  of sexual  healing  energy
in the  Microc osmic Orbit to  energize  the system is one  of the  most
important  aids  in this Taoist  practice. During  lovemaking the  more
you can extend  and draw an orgasm up ward rather  than  outw ard,
by performing  the Orgas mic Dra w while your male partn er uses
the Big Draw  to draw in his o wn sexual  healing  and control  the loss
of sem en, the more the  sexual  energ y can be  increase d. At this
point  if we  can guide  the energ y flow into the proper  channels,  the
benefit  will be tremendous. There  are distinctions  among our  differe nt energ y centers  which
expand  as our awareness expands. As w e open  ourselves  up and
discover  these  distinctions,  we open  ourselves  to their possibilities. It is im portant  to realize  that even  when you keep  yourself open  to
recognize  the distinctions  as the y exist in  you, others  may  recognize
some yo u may not be  aware of. Do not  let your ego limit you. As
your awareness expands,  it is the qualit y of your maturing  awareness
that makes the  distinctions. Working at  something  to develop
awareness of it and  being  able  to ma ke distinctions  are what opens
up a sub ject for us. The first  area  in which you begin  to feel the  energ y is in the  sex
centers,  which, as y ou have  learne d, are located  differentl y in m en
and wome n. In males it is found  at the base  of the  penis  and the
pubic  bone  area,  while in females, in the  Ovarian  Palace. W hen
the sex center  is not  activated  and beco mes “closed,”  many different
sexual  difficulties  arise,  as w ell as feelings  of self- destructive ness,
self-hatre d, a negative  attitude  and orientati on toward life, lo w or no
- 230  -Chapter  VIII
energy  or enthusiasm, and listlessness. The feeling  is agitated  and
lazy at the same ti me. This all promotes  violent  behavior. Bring
your attention  to this  area  and radiate,  like the  sun radiates,  your
sexual  energy  from yo ur organs. When ener gy begins  to move
and the sex center  begins  to open  up, the sense  is one  of creative
and personal  pow er with the abilit y to get  things  done. There is an
appreciati on for fun and pleasur e in life, and vitality . The perine um area  has the characteristics  of being  grounde d,
solid, and  peaceful  when it is open,  resulting  in a certaint y and a
security  within ourselves  and a security  within change. When it is
closed,  there  is para noia,  or fear of change. Feeling  insecure,  wishy-
washy, fickle,  upset  or lonely  are the sensations  experie nced. During
the process  of your practice,  when energ y is stuck there,  you can
feel shaking,  jerking  or chills. Radiate  your sexual ener gy down
into the perine um and  create  a star or sun  glowing there  that is
beautiful. Feel  ground ed, solid, peaceful,  filled  with certainty  and
the ability  to be secure  within chang e. You are now  read y to bring
the sexual ener gy to the first energizin g point. A. Sacral Pump Energy Point
   As yo u or your partn er approach  orgasm and  you practice  your
respective  Draw s, exchange  the excess Y in and Yang ener gies
and feel the orgasm mo ve up ward. Lie still and  quiet  for a mo ment,
embracing  each  other  and put both  of your palm s on your partn er’s
buttocks,  with the fingers  touching  the crest  of the buttocks,  and
the palms covering  the buttocks  toward the sacru m. (Fig. 8.17)
The m an should  do the sam e to the woman  in each  of these
exercises. Feel  the sexual  healing  ener gy from  your partn er’s hands
pass to your buttocks  and give  you assistance  in raising  your own
sexual  healing  energ y up the spine. At the sam e time slightl y pull
up the vagina  and the front  part of the anus,  and then  pull up  the
middle and  back  part of the anus  to dra w up the sexual healing
energy , to the  Sacral  Pump. Feel  a warmth  and tingling  in the
sacru m, or  other  sensations  as this point  opens  up. Enj oy this moment of peace. Feel  the tension  and stress  begin
to me lt away in the  legs,  hips, pelvis,  chest  and head  as you radiate
this point. Think of  this point  as the place  containing  rootedn ess to
past and present  that goes  down into the legs,  connecting  with the
nerves  there. When it is closed,  the past seems a prison,  housin g
unconscious  fears  and hopelessn ess that things  will remain as
- 231  -Dual Cultivation
they always have  been,  never  improving. Sense  and radiate  at this
point  all the  treasur es in your past that  will beco me your resource,
and the blosso ming  of all y our deep  potentials  as the y beco me
part of your daily living,  balancing  you in time and space. The feeling
is often  wide because  the energ y is aw ake every where. Here  is the
place  where we can blend  the earth  energy , sexual ener gy and
refined  energy . Take as long  as y ou wish to enjoy this point. Fig. 8.18  Kidneys’ Energy Point
B. Kidneys’  Energy  Point
    When the  feeling  in the  sexual  organs  subsides,  the energ y flow
is low  and you can resume lovemaking, building  up to the  height  of
sexual  healing  energ y. Perform the Orgas mic and  Big Dra w again,
exchange  the excess Y in and Yang energi es, and embrace  again
in stillness. Both partn ers should  now  place  their  hands  and palm s
on the other’s  left and  right  hips  with the fingers  touching  each
other  on the hips,  and the palms covering  the hips  and facing  toward
the kidney s and adrenal  glands. (Fig. 8.18)  These points  are key
energy  sources. At the  same ti me slightly  pull up the front,  middle,
and back  parts  of the  anus  and bring  the sexual- healing  energ y up
to the  Door  of Life point  (locate d opposite  the navel  betw een Lumbar
2 and  Lumbar 3). Hold  the energy  at this point  for a while, then
slightly  pull up the left and  right  part of the anus,  bringing  more
energy  directly  to the  kidney s. Wrap the  sexual ener gy aroun d the
kidney s like a cocoon,  and then  pack  the energy  into the  kidne ys. The Taoist s ystem rega rds the kidne ys as transformers. When
the kidney s are strong,  they fill w ith Chi pressure,  enabling  them to
- 232  -Chapter  VIII
perform the  very  important  task of  cleaning  out the toxins  and waste
materials which have  become e mbedded  in the  cells. Once  the
toxins are  cleane d out, the cells w ill energize. Taoists also  regard
the kidney s and each  kidney ’s surroun ding area  as the places  where
prenatal  energ y (our principal  energy ) and sexual essences  are
stored. The refined  foods,  pollution,  toxins,  etc., of mo dern life
graduall y deplete  the kidne ys as a source  of energ y. Energy
depletion  from the  kidney s, blockage  of energ y flow, or a closing  of
the kidney  point  are believed  to be major causes  of many
disturbanc es, such  as back  pain,  imbalance,  depr ession,  the feeling
of being  taken  advantag e of and fear. (1) Excessive loss of  semen creates fear. Excessive loss  of sperm energy  drains  the kidneys. This
depletion  is the  major reason  for fear in me n, causing  them to lose
confidence  in sex and  in life, not  an unco mmon situation  for men in
today ’s world. Using sexual  stim ulants  creates  a speedy  depletion
of a man’s sexual  energy , similar to  trying to pour  gasoline  onto  old
half-burned  wood; you only  speed  up and  use up  the vital energ y
stored  in the bod y that is so  necessar y to life. If your partner
ejaculates,  holding  him at these  specific  kidne y points  will be the
most important  way to revitalize  him, thereb y helping  him to recove r
lost energ y much faster  than  any kind  of drug  or sexual stim ulant. Holding  your partn er’s little fingers  can also help to overcome
this fear. The little fingers  are the beginni ng and ending  of the heart
and small intestine  meridian. When the  kidney s generat e fear,  this
fear will first affect  the adrenal  glands,  and these  glands  will
stimulate hormones  that affect  the heart,  thereb y increasing  the
meridian  energy , a condition  that can tilt the  whole system off
balance. Holding  the little fingers  will regulate  the flow and balance
of energ y. In this w ay your partn er can recover  his confide nce, and
give his  heart  to you. Remember that  lovem aking  is caring  about
each  other. If he cares  about  you, you must care about  him. When the  kidney  point  is open  and radiatin g, there  is a sense  of
openness,  generosit y, abund ance  and balance. All fears  are
outshone  in that  radianc e.

C. Adrenal Glands Point at T-11
   When you feel that  the sexual  energ y is low , resu me love making
to the  point  of high  energy . Next m ove the  energy  up to  the
rejuvenatio n ener gy center  or Thoracic- 11 (T-11),  located  at the
spinal  joint of  the two lowest floating  ribs. You and your partn er
should  put the heel  of both  palm s on each  of these  lowest ribs w ith
the palms covering  between the second  and third  lumbar vertebr ae. (Fig. 8.19)  These  areas  are where the kidneys are located,  above
which the adren als rest. The adren al glands,  located  on a long
muscular band  which can be felt along  the entire  back  in this area,
secrete  certain  hormones  to increase  the growth and vital force  of
the trillions of  cells of  the body . It is the  adrenal  glands  that will
make cells last  longer  and stay younger. Our  modern  lives aboun d with tremendous  stress. W e are fearful
on the streets,  in planes,  and in the  working place. We are burde ned
with all kinds  of excitement, such  as the  stim ulation  of television  or
radio  com mercials constantl y trying to sell more things  to us. All of
this stress  depletes  the adrenal  glands’  function,  and this depletion
locks the  adrenal  glands’  point  and becomes the  main cause  of
hypertensi on, listlessness,  depression,  sadness,  frustration,
insomnia, and low-key perfo rmance. To bring  the sexual  energ y to the  adrenal  glands,  slightl y pull up
the front,  middle, and  back  of the anus,  and thus  the Chi  Muscle. Pull the  sexual ener gy up to T-11  and feel the energy  there. Then
contract  the left and right  anus  and pull up mo re energ y to the
kidney s and the adrenal  glands. Wrap and  pack  the energy  there,
and feel the w arm sexual  energ y vitalize  the glands. Remember
that these  exercises  can be performed sim ultaneousl y by both
partners. - 234  -Chapter  VIII
  When the  adrenal  glands’  point  is open,  you will feel energetic,
confident,  filled w ith a sense  of vitality, and the ability  to get things
acco mplished. Fig. 8.20  Liver  and Spleen Point
D. Liver and Spleen Energy  Point
    The fourth  Upw ard Draw (or Big Draw  for your partne r) energizing
point  is the  liver and  spleen  point,  situated  at the ninth  and tenth
ribs and  on the  muscular  band  just below  the scapulae. Put y our
fingers  on the scapulae  with the middle of the  palm s immediately
below the lo wer tip of the  scapulae. (Fig. 8.20)  As y ou cover  this
area,  feel your Chi ener gy activate  your partn er’s ener gy Slightly
contract  the front,  middle, back  and then  the left and  right  sides  of
the anus,  and bring  your own energ y up to  the liver and  spleen,
continuing  up to the  point  between the scapula e. The liver  is the
main storage  house  of energy  and contains  the capacity  for natural
beauty . The liver and spleen  energy  point,  when open,  provides  a
sense  of freed om and  the ability  to take risks  for ourselves  and
others. Openin g this energy  point  and radiati ng ener gy there  can
also help  to relieve  anger,  panic,  worry and anxiet y, fears  of the
past,  back pain,  release  the tension  of the diaphra gm, generat e
deeper  breaths,  and improve  digestion. You might release  gas and
begin  to yawn a great  deal  as your digestive  system is clearing
itself. Y ou sense  an opening  to the  present  moment. In the begin ning you can practice  draw ing upward to one  or two
points  only . When you are more advanced,  all of  these  upw ard
contractions  will beco me more auto matic,  and eventuall y you will
be able to energize  the whole line of  points  at once. Do not,  how ever
- 235  -Dual Cultivation
confuse  the points  with the actual  orga ns. These  points  simply
correspo nd to the  organs. Fig.

    The onl y differenc e between the Egg Exercise  and Vaginal  Weight
Lifting  procedu re is the additio n of a weight to the  speciall y drilled
egg. As m entioned  earlier  in weight lifting,  we use wooden eggs. Usually  an egg is chosen  of approximately  a one- inch diam eter
with holes  drilled  in it through  which a string  can be threa ded for
attach ment  to a weight. Use a  sturdy  string  that can sustain  at
least ten to  twenty pounds  of weight, or use three  strands  of string. Begin with a one- half pound  weight. You can bu y a half- poun d plate
that has a  hole  through  which the string  can be tied,  or use a  small
cotton  or plastic bag  into w hich a weight can be placed  and the bag
easily  attache d to the egg’s  string  and hung. - 194  -Chapter VII
