I find that chi movement is better everywhere if I open head meridians properly The tendency to avoid head area may slow one's progress

They stimulate many systems in body and create internal heat which may easily transform into lustful feelings

When you retain your seed, jing and attention, the dynamics are changed. In the initial stages you will lose jing very easily, even by talking to females without any arousal. In later stages (+6 months), it will be hard to get you leak when things solidify. Vegan diet free from garlic, onions and alcohol will keep things in check. No wet dreams should happen. The nature of woman is to tempt man, nothing wrong in it. If woman sees that man is not tempted, she will try harder. That is why you see all that crazy things happening to celibate people. If you are not ready to leave sex behind, this path is not for you yet. Sex life is good life also. The difference for a serious practitioner is not so great. Enjoy what life offers you, may it be sex or celibacy.

Depends on what you mean by celibacy. Without partners and offsprings you can easily be, and this will save you from a lot of things... But fighting against sexuality and the need of ejaculation... You will lose eventually.

What if, one uses the pelvic floor muscles to cancel a nocturnal discharge?

Doing good, haven't missed a practice. Happy and inspired to continue. I find standing meditation good, too, haven't really done it before. Seems to address to some problem areas better than sitting meditation, like perineum and neck. I got stubborn stagnations there, but overall my body is starting to feel very soft and supple. I find time goes faster for me while standing, so I increased from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Maybe increase with 5 more minutes later. This was exactly what I needed.

Since lately I've been lacking commitment to my practices, I will take up the challange too! My plan for 100 days includes: -30 minutes of sitting meditation -10 minutes of standing meditation -20 minutes of lying down meditation Also I will abstain from sexual pleasure and use intoxicants in moderation. Good luck everyone!
