184 <strong>Taoist</strong> <strong>Secrets</strong> Of <strong>Love</strong><br />
the subtle cosmos, you remember how easy and natural this higher<br />
harmony is, that you've been there before, but f<strong>org</strong>ot it while you<br />
were busy struggling out in the world to earn money, raise a family,<br />
etc. You don't have to work to create this sense <strong>of</strong> loving peace. To<br />
the contrary, this state <strong>of</strong> "Wu Wei" is achieved not by exerting<br />
yourself, but by lying in relaxed intercourse with your lover and<br />
simply being with her. Wu Wei is nothing more than being balanced<br />
in the field <strong>of</strong> pure subtle energies generated by your bodies and by<br />
the pre-existing fields <strong>of</strong> yin/yang energy in the universe. Your<br />
love-making is practice for staying in that relaxed state, so eventually<br />
you'll be able to constantly feel that deep serenity within<br />
yourself after you return to the world <strong>of</strong> chores.<br />
I have found the spontaneous effortlessness <strong>of</strong> the valley<br />
<strong>org</strong>asm reaches to the very heart <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Taoist</strong> teachings. Some<br />
men may get trapped by their fascination with the techniques <strong>of</strong> chi<br />
cultivation—by the mechanics <strong>of</strong> the Big Draw method. They may<br />
get a lot <strong>of</strong> chi from it, but if they are trying too hard they may<br />
never experience the valley <strong>org</strong>asm or the wu wei process, which is<br />
a delicate balance <strong>of</strong> non-striving yin energy and very directed<br />
yang energy. When the two are balanced in a valley <strong>org</strong>asm you<br />
experience the full paradox <strong>of</strong> standing still (yin) and moving at the<br />
same time (yang).<br />
That is why the great <strong>Taoist</strong> poets write <strong>of</strong> the paradoxical<br />
nature <strong>of</strong> the Tao. Wu Wei is doing nothing, but everything happens.<br />
My first experience <strong>of</strong> the valley <strong>org</strong>asm took me and my<br />
lover by surprise, probably because we expected the <strong>Taoist</strong> esoteric<br />
methods <strong>of</strong> love making to be like the deep solo meditative<br />
experiences both <strong>of</strong> us had experienced for a number <strong>of</strong> years<br />
before we became lovers. During the valley <strong>org</strong>asm I felt like I was<br />
in two places at once. My body was imploding and fusing inwardly,<br />
while my awareness was expanding outwards into larger energy<br />
fields and subtle realms <strong>of</strong> being impossible to describe.<br />
I found it amazing the way my body seemed to take its cues<br />
from my lover's body. My entire body started to vibrate rapidly at<br />
the same speed as hers and stayed attuned for some minutes. Despite<br />
the <strong>org</strong>asmic intensity, my body temperature was neither hot<br />
nor cold, but even and pleasant. It was very different from my<br />
previous meditative practice which stimulated the kundalini energy<br />
to rise in a column <strong>of</strong> hot electric yang energy and led to explosive<br />
opening <strong>of</strong> my crown or third eye centers. It would sometimes put
