[Mantak_Chia,_Michael_Winn]_Taoist_Secrets_of_Love(BookFi.org)

uilding a healthy physical and emotional life, but the Taoist goal is
ultimately to gather the primal energies driving all our desires,
emotions, and thoughts and cultivate them back into their original
state of pure spirit.
The Taoist Masters of ancient China were no fools. They
knew love between man and woman is a mystery which cannot be
taught. Sex may be only the hand maiden of higher love, but our
sexual limitations often confront us with the feeling that our relationships
with our lovers or that our life in general is incomplete.
The techniques taught in this book are not mechanical substitutes
for love. The Taoist secrets of love are meant to be mastered and
then discarded when the transformation of sexual energy is experienced
as a natural creative power of man, as easy as walking,
talking or thinking. Then the pleasure of sex can be ecstatic beyond
orgasm and love tender beyond belief.

both situations did Winn agree to this collaboration. The principle
ideas belong solely to Mantak Chia as transmitted to him by his
