Hi all-- this is my first post-- although I've been lurking on these forums for quite some time... I have practiced seminal retention for the last few years with mixed results-- I recently came across some data that rang true for me-- how the energy must be recirculated... or it will just find it's way out again (hence failure)... I just purchased Taoist Secrets of Love. Am looking for a daily solo cultivation practice. In the book it mentions several. Looking for a good one to start with... My apologies if this has been posted a million times-- I did some searching and couldn't readily find my particular question... Thanks in advance, boaz

Thanks... Thank you for that thread. From what little I was able to distill from that thread, the idea is to embrace the fact that it takes awhile, not flit about like a butterfly looking for the highest practice, whatever that is (something I've been guilty of in the past), embrace where you're at, and most of all, find a teacher. My plan to begin is vigorous exercise, with concentration on toning the abdomen, and testicle breathing... does that sound safe and sane? e.g. stay away from Kunlun for now?

Thank you for your replies... I surfed around AYP for a little while-- that site seems pretty dense, but I will continue looking... I do not get the A/C comment... Regarding my question... is, say, the first Kunlun posture a good place to start?

Hi all from Venice CA, I am a seeker of things spiritual-- the bulk of my energy work has been with Kundalini Yoga-- and it always "blew me out" so to speak, e.g. the energy was too strong and I couldn't control it. I have since been on the path of sexual retention with mixed results... Read lots of messages here having to do with sexual retention-- just purchased Mantak Chia's book "Taoist Secrets of Love"-- was wondering where I would post a question about what technique(s) to begin with... best, boaz

Thanks for pointing the way... I like my tea with extra chi...
