Healing love through the Tao

For thousands of years the sexual principles and techniques presented here were taught by Taoist masters in secret only to a small number of people (sworn to silence) in the royal courts and esoteric circles of China. This is the first book to make this ancient knowledge available to the West. The foundation of healing love is the cultivation transformation and circulation of sexual energy known as ching. Ching energy is creative generative energy that is vital for the development of chi (vital life-force energy) and shen (spiritual energy). Ching is produced in the sexual organs and it is energy women lose continually through menstruation and child bearing. Mantak Chia teaches powerful techniques developed by Taoist masters for the conservation of ching and how it is used to revitalize women's physical mental and spiritual well-being. Among the many benefits conferred by these practices are a reduction in the discomfort caused by menstruation and the ability to attain full-body orgasm. A student of several Taoist masters Mantak Chia founded the Healing Tao System in North America in 1979 and developed it worldwide as European Tao Yoga and Universal Healing Tao. He is the director of the Tao Garden Health Spa and Resort training centre in northern Thailand and the author of 25 books including the best-selling The Multi-Orgasmic Man.
