TAOIST FORMULAS FOR WOMEN
Trawling through the translated classics yields a catch of multiple formulas for the Yin Practice, mostly gathered under the ‘Precepts on the True Path of Women’s Practice’ and all offering more or less similar advice.
“Women lose energy more through menstruation and childbirth than through orgasm. With mindful recycling of the Qi through the Small Heavenly Cycle there is minimal energy loss during sexual practice.”
Important here to understand that regular practice of the orbit makes the difference, not just during sexual practice. Sexual practices include Solo and Dual Cultivation and Jade Egg work.
“When tranquillity surpasses activity, she enjoys good fortune, but when activity surpasses tranquillity there is disaster.”
First Formula: Early Practice:
Calm the Heart, still the mind
Circulate Qi up the back and down the front
Second Formula: Later Practice:
Refining Spirit
When the orbit is established, circulate down through the Three Crucibles of Breast, Navel and Womb.
Third Formula: Daily Practice:
“Running Water does not stagnate”
Breast massage is vital for maintaining youth and vigour through your whole being.
Daily massage of the ovaries sustains Qi-flow in the reproductive area
Fourth Formula: Sexual Practice:
As the orgasm builds downwards, clench the pubococcygeal muscle and exercise the intention of drawing the orgasm from the perineum up to the crown.
Hold the orgasm in the crown and feel the sensation through the whole being.
Let go the mind.
Fifth Formula: Pre-menstrual practice;
Ovarian breathing, massage Navel, then Heart, then Breasts
Sixth Formula: Post-menstrual practice
Seal the ‘Gate of the Fountain’ with the heel, massage ovaries, then Navel, then Heart then Womb.
Swallow down the saliva.
Seventh Formula: Before Pregnancy and after Childbirth:
Massage both sides of the waist, the shoulders, abdomen and Navel
Eighth Formula: Menopausal practice:
Massage Breasts, Heart, Navel, Womb.
