TLDR;
This video discusses the Daoist perspective on masturbation and sexual energy. It emphasizes controlling and redirecting sexual energy for revitalization and overall well-being rather than simply suppressing it. Key points include:
- Learning to control arousal levels during masturbation to harness energy.
- Returning sexual energy to the brain and organs for revitalization.
- Using sexual energy for various purposes like enhancing knowledge, wisdom, and attracting abundance.
Introduction [0:00]
The video begins by addressing the question of how to "get rid of masturbation," clarifying that the goal isn't elimination but rather understanding and utilizing the energy associated with it. For younger individuals without partners, masturbation is presented as a natural release. Daoist practice suggests learning how to masturbate in a way that can lead to positive outcomes.
Controlling and Harvesting Sexual Energy [0:05]
The key is to train oneself to recognize and control arousal levels. The speaker introduces a scale where "nine" is close to ejaculation and "ten" is ejaculation. The ideal state is "seven and eight," where one feels highly aroused but remains in control. This allows for harvesting the energy and directing it back up the body. Reaching level nine means losing control, and at ten, the energy is considered "overcooked" and unusable.
Returning Sexual Energy [1:29]
When at level seven or eight, one should pause and focus on "returning" the sexual energy upward. This involves contracting the perineum and anus, drawing the energy up through the coxix and sacrum—referred to as the "three gates" or "gate of life and death." The initial goal is to revitalize the brain by opening the spinal cord through specific neck exercises and hand placements on the sacrum and base of the scalp.
Revitalizing Brain and Organs [3:39]
After the brain is energized, the sexual energy can be brought back down through the front channel to revitalize the organs. Sexual energy is described as a powerful force for repairing, healing, and strengthening the body. By controlling masturbation and redirecting this energy, one can enhance both physical and mental well-being.
Practical Guidelines and Timetable [4:23]
The speaker suggests a timetable for ejaculation based on age, allowing for controlled release while emphasizing the importance of learning to control and redirect the energy most of the time. One can choose to ejaculate sometimes but should also practice controlling the urge to retain and redirect the energy. Over time, control increases, leading to more energy.
Connecting with the Universe and Using Sexual Energy [5:26]
Master Mantak Chia concludes by reiterating that in the Daoist view, masturbation isn't inherently negative if one learns to return the sexual energy, leading to enlightenment and connection with the universe. This energy can be used not only for physical and mental enhancement but also for attracting abundance and achieving goals. By directing sexual energy into activities like studying and reading, one can gain knowledge, wisdom, and attract opportunities.
