Ok finally I am writing some of the things I have learnt, starting with my "old thought - new thought". I am listing: old thought - I have to do 5 different exercises a day in order to prevent nocturnal emissions new thought - I am needing to do less, let go, and trust my body old thought - have to retaining as much semen as possible new thought - the goals are not retaining but refining what you have retained, which is taking dedication old thought - each time I lose semen I become weaker like old man new thought - semen loss is a natural process, and can be necessary at some times old thought - the more jing I have, the healthier I will be new thought - The more in touch with the Tao (empty) I am the healthier I will be. Now, strategies that are seeming strongly recommended: self acupressure especially kidney points http://www.thetaobums.com/Accessable-Self-...sure-t9276.html, deep breathing and meditation for an hour especially at night Next, strategies that are seeming less common but useful (I am not sure): 1 - warm hands, rub kidneys 2 - simple squats with light weights 3- flick ears until hot twice a day 4. testicle breathing - mantiak chia link?? 5. bridge breathing http://www.precisiondocs.com/~altaoism/Add...ading.htm#Furey

Vajrahridaya, Thank you for this, this is very inspiring to me, I was nearly lost hope after having 3 emissions in the last 4 days. I did read your post twice and noticed even more the second time. Also congratulations it must have taken a lot of self discipline. Christoff

That was an excellent inspiring post Lucky strikes, thanks Thank you also TheSongsofDistantEarth for the advice although as I am emotional person, not sure if Celine Dion songs will be working the best sometimes Actually reading some of the other threads and rereading this one I have realised something, hopefully I can explain. Balance is the most important. When we feel an imbalance, (like for me wet dreams), we then try to do everything that is the opposite (like "seal the door"). But instead of balancing the problem does the opposite and causes damage (like injaculation). What we should be doing is not something to make us balanced, but just seeking a balanced state. Like in the same issue for me, I should be doing deep breathing and refining exercises instead of "seal the door". I am learning a lot here, thank you all again

Hello all, I have been planning to write as mentioned but unfortunately still experiencing emissions so quite exhausted. Been doing deep breathing at night for an hour, massage of kidney points around feet, and taking herbs but still happening maybe once every 3-4 days. I mean no offense to the posters, but I think I will try mantak chia's "seal the door" exercise as I would rather risk damaging my sexual tissues and feel powerful than have healthy sexual tissues but wake up every 3-4 days feeling sad, empty and exhausted and like I am having to start over. Sorry for the post, but I am confused! Christoff

Hi all, Thank you again for sharing your ideas and experiences. In the interests of making easier for future readers I will be posting shortly a compilation of what seems to me the most common and effective strategies for semen retention. Christoff

Wow thanks again everyone for your quick and informative replies. Scotty, thanks for the great suggestions. With regards to drinking warm water, absolutely, and you can also drink "yin/yang water". 40% boiling water / 60% room temperature water and then add a spoonful of honey. Tastes fantastic. Hi Lucky, just wondering what you are referring to exactly here - big draw, seal the leaking door, etc.? Honestly I haven't tried simple squats yet, my legs feel sore and weak for some reason. I forgot to ask has anyone actually been able to DO seal the leaking door exercises completely? 36 reps, 5 times a day, with each rep at least 1-2 mins. That's 180-360 mins, or 3-6 hrs A DAY. Or can you achieve the same success with half or a third the number of reps? Christoff

Hi I'm Christoff to be honest I joined to make a post concering my health problems, i'm hoping some of you may be able to help. Otherwise I am studying chinese medicine, qi gong (especially of Master Mantak Chia and Sifu Wong Kiew Kit), and like cooking, camping and playing music. Anyway I want to my main issue so I will make a new post now. Thanks Christoff

Hi Mal, Thanks for the welcome Christoff

Wow, thankyou all for your quick replies and meangingful advice. I am understanding that to lose semen is ok since it is the body's wisdom. Unfortunately I am not convinced that it is healthy for me to ejaculate once or twice a week because I was told by Chinese Dr I am low in jing already (I have no libido) and it is winter here so I am even more scared to lose. Hence I would rather injaculate than ejac. But your main practice sounds effective, what is it? Trunk's site looks good, I will try tan tien bridge breathing and also testicle breathing. Thanks again
