72 Taoist Secrets Of Love
Taoists regard the sacrum as a pump which will help to hold
the sexual energy coming from the scrotum and transform the energy
at the same time it gives it a push upward. It's like a way
station that refines the ching chi as circulates in the body. If the
opening of sacrum, the Hiatus, is blocked, the life force cannot
enter and flow back to the higher center.
The cranium of the skull has long been regarded by Taoists as
a major pump for the circulation of energy from the lower to the
higher centers. Medical research has recently confirmed that minute
movements at the joints of the eight cranial bones occurs during
breathing. Cranial movement is responsible for the production and
function of the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal
cord and this is necessary for normal nerve and energy patterns in
the entire body. Strengthening the cranial joints can increase energy
and alleviate symptoms, such as headaches, sinus problems,
visual disturbances and neck problems. In Taoist cultivation the
pelvis, scrotum urogenital diaphragm, sacrum and cranial pump
are very important to help move the sexual energy up to the higher
center.
THREE POSTURES OF TESTICLE BREATHING:
SITTING, STANDING, LYING
Sitting: I generally recommend sitting on a chair. I prefer this position
for its simplicity and comfort. Sitting lends ease to a practice
that favors relaxation and good concentration.
Sit on the edge of a chair with the buttocks and legs supporting
your weight. The scrotum hangs free in the air. This point is
important because the testes must be freely suspended in order for
you to push a maximum of air energy down into them. Raise the
tongue to the roof of the mouth as this is essential in circulating the
chi, completing the loop between the front and back channels of
the microcosmic orbit.
The feet are firmly planted on the floor with hands resting
palm down on the knees. The back should be quite straight at the
waist but slightly round at the shoulders and neck. This very minor
forward curvature of the upper back tends to relax the chest and
helps the power flow through the neck, chest, and abdomen. Keep
the chin slightly tucked in. Military posture, with shoulders thrown
back and head held high, tends to lodge power in the upper body
