Many people wonder what is meant by female Tao Yoga and why the Chia spouses have dedicated an entire manual to these practices.
Simple: sexual energy is not a force that acts like watertight compartments, isolated from others; it is all-encompassing and a woman who approaches her internal strength cannot fail to come into contact with practices of Taoist origin that have come down to the present day.
Female Tao Yoga is called a set of practices based on the sexual anatomy of women and physiology in terms of female ejaculation and achievement and maintenance of orgasm.
As for anatomy, in addition to the classical conformation, what is well studied in female Tao Yoga is the functioning of the pubococcygeus muscle which in turn is connected to the strength of the muscle of the perineum .
The pubococcygeus should always be well trained, in order to maintain a healthy muscle tone with regards to an area that wants to stay in balance. A good muscle tone at this level also corresponds to a serenity from a sexual and psychological point of view.
In the perspective of female Tao yoga the perineum acquires a fundamental role as it identifies the inner diaphragm and acts as a pump for the Taoists. The state of health of the perineum has direct influence on the whole organism in the Taoist perspective.
Let's look at some basic concepts of female Tao Yoga.
The primordial qi and the Microcosmic Orbit
When we talk about qi in the field of Chinese energy medicine we refer to that force of activation, to that vital energy that allows us to expand our sphere of action, to perform various activities during the day, allows us to relate, allows the formation of individual talents according to cosmic laws .
It cannot be dispersed, it can be cultivated and protected through specific Taoist practices. The absolute primordial qi is considered that inherent to the sum and primordial energy or sexual energy.
The path that goes from the vertebral column to the skull falls back to the chest, to the abdomen and ends at the genital organs takes the name of Microcosmic Orbit . Here the energy circulates through points and meridians. Visualizing this orbit allows us to touch nodal points in depth through the mind's eyes, as crucial "stations" for the flow of our internal energy.
Ovarian respiration and healing power
In the ovaries for the Taoists there is a real energy forge. And like any "building site" of energy, in order to maintain a job, an energy expenditure is needed.
Among the various techniques transmitted by the Chia spouses is the so-called ovarian respiration . It is a practice that modulates the menstrual cycle (reduce or shorten it if too abundant, for example), also reducing any associated pain. Through breathing, more energy is accumulated in the ovaries and sexual power is refined.
Breathing has a healing power to all effects and allows one to enter into deep connection with one's vitality. This factor immediately affects the quality of sexual life .
Another technique associated is that of the Orgasmic Boost towards the High, practicable in solitude or together with the partner. The purpose of this technique is to not stop at the vaginal orgasm and at the same time not to waste energy. Along with these techniques there are exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor, tendons and nervous system.
Certainly these texts have the great merit of bringing their sexuality closer and questioning perhaps the many programming that we derive from the culture in which we grew up, but we nevertheless recommend not to tackle these practices alone to avoid excesses of fanaticism or improbable executions.
Likewise, do not trust impromptu gurus who have the attitude of someone who wants to explain to you something that concerns your skin, your feelings, your heart.
