We are constantly losing our energy by working long hours, having poor eating habits and living under chronic stress. For men, the most energy is lost through ejaculation. Women do not usually lose their energy through sex, but they lose energy with each menstrual period. The sexual energy is the most creative and powerful energy available to us as it is the same energy used in reproduction to create a new life. The goal of Taoist female self-cultivation is to increase the sexual energy and channel it for health and healing. The specific female exercises strengthen the urogenital and pelvic muscles, relieve menstrual problems, shorten menstruation, balance emotions and help to attain total body orgasms.

In Taoist self-cultivation practice, life is seen as a result of the interaction between Heaven, Human and Earth. As human beings, we draw in our life force from the heaven above and the mother earth below. All forms of life have Qi energy. Human life is comprised of Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy) and Shen (Spirit). The goal of Taoist self-cultivation is to preserve Jing, transform Jing into Qi for our physical well-being and to refine Qi into Shen to achieve spiritual awakening.
