Product Description

Moves reflexology beyond the realm of foot massage and into the realm of sexuality.

* Offers acupressure methods to build intimacy and heighten sexual pleasure.

* Helps couples find their sexual energy potential and physical compatibility.

* Provides techniques to perform time-tested Taoist sexual-spiritual exercises.

* By Mantak Chia, coauthor of The Multi-Orgasmic Man.

The most powerful reflex points on the body are on the sexual organs. While the practice of reflexology is normally associated with massage of the feet, in Sexual Reflexology Mantak Chia gives applications for using the sexual reflex points in lovemaking, transforming sexual intercourse into a form of ecstatic acupressure. By combining the classic Taoist sexual texts with modern reflexology theory, the author provides a unique opportunity for couples to practice sexual intimacy as an act of healing.

Mantak Chia shows how to evaluate a person's sexual energy potential as well as how the size and shape of the sexual organs determine a couple's compatibility. In addition to the specific ecstatic acupressure exercise instructions, he provides thoughtful commentary on ancient Taoist practices that reveal how we can all use our sexual essence to create healthy and loving relationships.

Review
"Explicit illustrations, insightful text and titillating techniques from 14th-century Chinese texts bring innovative fitness possibilities into the bedchamber."
(Nexus, March/April 2004 )

"With the high incidence of perversion, abuse, and exploitation in our time, it is refreshing to see sexuality being celebrated and brought forward as a healing element."
(Claus Sproll, Liliopoh the spirit in life, Issue 37 Vol. 9, Fall 2004 )

"[Chia] provides a unique opportunity for couples to practice sexual intimacy as an act of healing."
(Branches of Light, Spring-Summer-Fall 2005 )

"Mantak Chia and William U. Wei note early in the book that Daoists regard the use of sexual energy not as a moral but as a health issue. They explore and explain the yin and yang of the sexes that leaves so many confused and dismayed. . . . It goes into great depth about physiological aspects of reflexology, sexual exercise, and general compatability, and details a range of practices and postures that address the health and general well-being of sexual partners." (
Reg Little, New Dawn, No. 116, Sep/Oct 2009 )

Male and Female Energy It is important to understand the difference between male sexual energy (yang) and female sexual energy (yin). The Taoists understood that men and women are meant to balance, as two opposite halves of a universal whole. This means that we need to respect our differences and understand that it is natural to feel different and to be different. Without this awareness men and women are often at odds with one another. Many of our struggles in relationships come about because we expect each other to be the same. I hear many people complain that their partner does not see things the way they do, or does not do things the way they do. It is important not to fight and struggle with our differences but to make them work in our favor, creating balance and harmony. If we forget this truth we are easily upset and frustrated with the opposite sex. Yet, when we respect this difference, love blossoms like a well nurtured garden. Sexual Reflexology is designed to harmonize these male and female challenges on an energetic level. Sexually, men are like fire, quick to get hot and quick to explode. Women, on the other hand, are like water, heating up slowly and staying hot longer. This is the reason the male Taoists use a variety of techniques to satisfy women sexually. Women need foreplay, to be caressed tenderly and embraced with passion. This way, the water-the feminine sexual energy-will boil, and energy will be exchanged. Thus, the Taoist saying, "Never sail your boat in a rocky river," meaning, that the woman needs to be aroused and lubricated before sexual intercourse. In cultivating sexual energy, men learn to control ejaculation and achieve a full body orgasm rather than merely a genital orgasm. By learning to transform sperm into Chi, men can become better lovers, more vibrant and youthful, and are able to activate the compassionate energy in the heart. For women, cultivating sexual energy is a way to transform blood into Chi. Transforming sexual energy is directly related to the menstrual cycle. From the Taoist exercises, this transformation leads to an abundance of energy, balanced emotions and internal power. Emotionally, women are like fire and men are like water. It is very easy for women to express their emotions, to get excited, to cry and to feel. For men it is more challenging to be in touch with the heart center. This is how men and women balance emotionally and sexually. Women open and heat the emotional center or the heart center in men and men help open or bring the fire into the sexual center for women. The goal of the Taoist practice is to create this harmonious and flowing exchange of energy. This is revealed physically by the fact that men project from the sexual center (the penis) and women project from the heart center (the breasts). Projection is the yang or the fire quality of energy. This demonstrates that women are yang emotionally and men are yang sexually. These physical features reveal the energetic and emotional nature of men and women.

Yin and Yang The tractor (yang) and the lake (yin) are the energy fields of the man and of the woman. We are talking here about opposites. When the man is hot, the woman is cold. When the woman is hot, the man is cold. So you have a real communication problem. When you're very hot the person with whom you are trying to communicate is cold. Men and women have different types of energy molecularly. It's very hard to interact unless you have a clear understanding of your own energy field and how it interacts with the people around you, especially the energy field of the opposite gender. Getting this understanding opens up communication, which is the key to any relationship. "The tractor and the lake" exemplifies what I mean by this difference. When you drive a tractor into a lake, you get stuck. And what happens when the tractor tries to fight the lake? It sinks deeper. Who is stronger, the tractor or the lake? Obviously, the lake is stronger. It not only has its own energy, but it also absorbs all of the energy the tractor exerts. Now the tractor is active energy and the lake is passive energy. The lake is the yin energy or the feminine energy and the tractor is the yang or the male energy. The key message in "the tractor and the lake" is the ability of the lake to yield to the tractor; and the way of the Tao is to yield because the Tao is feminine. You find this in every aspect. Every time you want to overcome something you yield to its energy and you use its energy for your own benefit and welfare.

Sex in All its Mystery
Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place and Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered

Anyone who purchases Sexual Reflexology: Activating the Taoist Points of Love as a guide to sex will find that it certainly is that and more. As a manifestation of love, the book includes information on increasing sexual pleasure with exercise, knowledge, and even meditation. Straightforward and, at the same time, poetic, this book is an aid for couples who want to maximize their pleasure beyond the Puritan
sex and love cycle that western society teaches-or, rather, doesn't usually bother to teach.

Complete with diagrams intended to educate-- not titillate, the book uses easily understood language that is poetic at times. It even includes a Special Note for Women Readers. This is a book that may not make best seller lists but certainly should.

Now I can last ALL DAY LONG!
I have read ALLOT on sex and really most of the information out there is terrible ESPECIALLY in contrast to this book! This is the first and only book which had a drastic positive effect on my sexual performance.

I went from good to WAY better and with all the exercises on the book I am just getting even better at heightening and having control over my sexual energy through the exercises they give. YOU WILL GET GREAT RESULTS FROM THIS BOOK IF YOU DON'T DO THE EXCERCIOISES! Especially the chapter Sexercise has a great effect. The exercises heighten your sexual energy, make your erections harder and with the focus on breathing I think has also significantly make a big difference on how I can last AL LONG AS I WANT! Seriously I can last all day if I want, but GF tends to get sore after too long but the point is you are in control, and just having more sexual vitality which gives you more OVERALL VITALITY. The chapter exercises is my favorite chapter and when you can last as long as you like you can practice all the moves in this book for longer periods of time.

To me though this book is not just about sex but longevity and feeling great, and it goes beyond just sex and into how being sexually healthy makes you more healthy in general..

I probably
Will not ever buy another sex book ever, because this books gives me all the solid foundation I could ever need, so anything outside this book will just be my own creativity.

The exercises may seem tedious at first, but do them you will get results and with some consistence you will notice significant results!!!!


THIS LITTLE BOOK HAS SO MUCH STUFF PLEASNTLY JAM PACKET WITHIN NOT VERY MANY PAGES. Which gives you less time needed reading so you can be having more sex : )

As far as the exercises go though I advice you study the nerves in the penis and be gentle with your penis! Not enough caution is given in the book I believe.

Also as far as reserving your seed I stand in the middle ground. I believe there is a point of no return, and really I believe not to excessively let lose but to every now and then releasing is better then not. Try both ways and go by your own feel. I don't believe EVERYTHING, but most of it I experienced as true. I learned SOO much great stuff.
