Taoist Sexual Alchemy practices under guidance of Grandmaster Mantak Chia



A warm hello to you,

We received many questions about Taoist Sexual practices and today we are sharing the answers with you. 

🟣If you want to learn Taoist Sexual Alchemy practices under guidance of Grandmaster Mantak Chia we invite you to Week 2 of Summer Retreat on 12-15 July 2024.

➡️Book workshops in Tao Garden, Thailand: https://www.mantakchia.com/event/tao-garden-summer-retreat-2024

➡️Book Live Online participation: https://www.mantakchia.com/event/online-summer-retreat-2024/

Questions and Answers on Taoist Sexual practices:

Q1: There is zero scientific benefit to semen retention, period. In fact, ejaculation only 10x or less a month yields an over 20% increase in risk for prostate disease according to one Harvard Study. If you want to have optimal physical health and hormonal balance, why should orgasms not be every day? 

A1: Taoism makes an apparent distinction between male ejaculation and orgasm.

Ejaculation is a spinal reflex, and orgasm is a cerebral reflex; with practice, the two can be separated, and a man can have as many orgasms as he pleases without ejaculation. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) advises against frequent ejaculation, as semen is seen as the purest essence a man produces. Excessive ejaculation can deplete this essence, leading to physical decline. Studies on fruit flies support this, showing delayed aging when mating is postponed. Over-ejaculation can cause yin and yang deficiencies, increased illness, hair loss, and erection difficulties. TCM encourages men to transform semen into mental power through meditation, which Master Chia teaches every retreat three times a year.

Q2. Over 1000 days without ejaculation here.

Is it harmful? 

A2. If you were cultivating energy from the retrained semen using the Taoist techniques, this would be a significant gain. Otherwise, it is not much of a benefit for the body.

Q3. What about women and orgasm? Should we have it every day?

A3. The frequency of orgasms varies widely among individuals, and there's no universal standard for how often women should have them. It's essential to listen to your body and prioritize what feels best for you, focusing on overall well-being and mutual satisfaction in your sexual relationships.

Q4. My doctor told me this, if you are a man you need to ejaculate as much as you can to keep a healthy prostate. I want to hear your opinion Master🙏

My urologist told me to ejaculate more to help with my prostate (40 year old man). Is that incorrect?

A4. We recommend prostate massage instead of ejaculation. Frequent ejaculation may deplete vital pure essence, potentially leading to health issues in the future. Since aging accelerates after the age of 35, it is advised that men retain their essence while learning techniques for cultivation and achieving orgasms without ejaculation.

Q5. I have a serious question: my girlfriend is pregnant, and ever since then, I haven't had the desire to have sex with her as much. Is that because I've done my job? I also have no desire to ejaculate. My health is great and I have tons of energy. Is this normal?

A5. It's common for men to experience changes in sexual desire during their partner's pregnancy. This can be due to a variety of reasons:

- Becoming a father can bring excitement and anxiety, affecting libido.

- A subconscious desire to protect your partner might reduce sexual desire.

- Anticipating new responsibilities can cause stress, impacting your sex drive.

- Your partner's pregnancy can influence your hormone levels.

- Your energy might be channeled into other activities or responsibilities.

Your experience is normal, and addressing it with understanding and communication can help maintain a strong relationship.

Q6. I know ejaculation should be limited. But If we are able to have non ejaculatory orgasms (NEO) the way your book describes, how frequently can we have those?

A6. Non ejaculatory orgasms may not be limited to a number. As long as you do not lose energy by semen, the energy will be with you.

Q7. What can you recommend if one has a vasectomy

A7. People who have had a vasectomy have the opportunity to retain their valuable essence within their bodies. If they also practice energy cultivation, they can effectively double or triple their energy levels.

You are your first priority💜

“Help yourself first, don’t think about other people”, says Master Mantak Chia💬

Long-held stress, emotional disharmony, anxiety, depression make us lose our life force Qi and meaning to live🪷

☯️For thousands of years, Taoist Masters have taught that negative emotions and stress are the primary cause of disease.

In the Tao we regard emotions as manifestations or expressions of different organs✨

Holding on to anger, sadness, fear, worry or other negative states for a long time damages the organs corresponding to these emotions.

💜According Taoist teachings, maintaining optimal organs' health is to transform troubling emotions and stress into life-force energy Qi and use it for healing and energizing the whole body. 

One of the most amazing stress-relieving tools designed by ancient Taoist sages is Qigong🧘

Qigong is a 5000 year-old Chinese art combining gentle movements with postures, mental focus, breathing, and relaxation. 

Easily grasped Qigong techniques transform stress, release blockages and balance your body, soul, and spirit🔥

❤️‍🔥If you want to learn how to transform the toxins of your life into medicines for healing yourself, rejuvenation and relaxation,

Connect to Your Sexual Energy Center


According Tao teachings, our sexual energy is our life force energy🙌

Open and strong sexual energy contributes toward our vitality, creativity and sense of well-being🪷

👉By using our sexual energy, we can enrich our wealth and health, our high levels of fundamental energy and elevate our spiritual experiences.💫

For millennia, Taoists have developed skilful methods of conserving, balancing, and transforming sexual energy for improved physical and mental health, happier and more satisfying relationships, and spiritual growth.

Unfortunately, most people do not know how to use their sexual energy, aside from procreation and entertainment, so this rich source of healing energy is lost to them.

Try out this simple Taoist practice with Grandmaster Mantak Chia to connect with your sexual energy center 👇

Place your hands in the navel, on your sexual center.
Form your palms into a triangle and find your sexual center.

Your breath moves toward your sexual center each time you breathe. Connecting with your sexual energies can be as simple as turning your attention inward and just noticing the way your breath. Now, deepen your breath.

After doing this practice 9 times, you will feel how Qi energy, life force, fills your sexual center.
❤️‍🔥If you want to learn how to cultivate, refine, transform, circulate and store sexual energy in your body.

🙏We invite you to join the Live Workshops on Taoist ancient sexual practices with Grandmaster Mantak Chia during his World Tour🌎

Activate healing power in your palm

☯️We were all born with healing power in our hands and hearts, but we eventually lost this ability due to disconnection with the Universe and energy blockages accumulated throughout life.
As we age, we are blocking our energy systems and losing this precious link that connects them with the universal sources around✨
But with good intention and diligent practice, we can reclaim this lost healing power 💫
Taoist healing hands are one of the most amazing capacities that we can reclaim💜
🔥With activating this healing power, we can experience that each of our fingers has an energy vortex on top of it, and our palms are breathing and drawing in energy in a kind of suction
As a Taoist Healing practitioners, we are actually able to
🧬enhance and optimize ours and other’s wellbeing
🧬restore balance and harmony, and reclaim our health
As we train, our hands get gradually more and more sensitized to the feeling and movement of Qi 🪷
We learn how to absorb Qi energy into the palms and crown, and to send it out through the hands and beyond 🤲
