5.0 out of 5 stars needed gap filler in my chi kung training. , April 9, 2005
By Mark Butts (northern illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
excelant study guide... i have a good strong understanding of chi kung, i've been teaching myself from books and practicing for years now. for anyone who doesn't know chi kung is the stuff that the famous 1 inch punch is made of. some books i studied from that i recomend to study allong with this one is , tai chi classics, qigong for health and martial arts by dr. yang jwing ming and any others by that author. i have read at least 20 or more others on the subject. almost all the titles i've read leave out sex entirely and at least a couple say not to practice chi kung with in 24 hours of sex but none give any info on why or any hints as to why. i have read a good handfull of books on tantra and haven't found this type of info available. after stumbling onto this book i bought it immediatly, it was a much needed gap filler in my training that i will cherrish for years. i read the book slowly and carefully then i started practicing in the next couple days. i took me only that long to reap the bennifits, i went from an occasional strong orgasm a consistant strong orgasm every time. using the "big draw" most of my orgasms are so strong that i nearly faint and my body is left tingeling. i don't think this would be so, accept that i've been practicing chi kung and other meditations for years already that these tecniques were easily addapted. the bit on multiple orgasms is quite real. i highly recomend this book for anyone who takes their love life, meditation, and chi kung serously. i would have to agree with the other couple reviews that say that this type of info could be "potentialy" dangerous. i've studied other titles such as the "encyclopedia of dim mak" by by erle montaigue and wally simpson and am just now starting to study "a manual of accupuncture" and i know that your chi systems demand allot of respect. nonetheless if you practice progressively, carefully and don't try to force your chi but rather allow your self to become aware of it, you'll find that the information in this book is highly valuable. that is why i recomend that you study this book with the book "tai chi classics" this title instructs you how to "cultivate" your awareness and controle of your chi properly.

3.0 out of 5 stars You must read Awaken Healing Energy Through Tao as well, March 8, 2000
By Widar Jaensch (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
He's done it again. In Taoist Ways to Transform Stress into Vitality as well as in this book, Mantak forgets the extremely important collection of energy at the navel after doing the microcosmic orbit. In both books, he summarizes the orbit sloppily, as if all that is needed is to let the energy flow from the eyes, down the body and up to the head. If the energy is not collected at the navel, it can damage your mind or your organs. If anyone wants to do the microcosmic orbit, read the book devoted to it: Awaken Healing Energy Through Tao, which describes the dangers and the precautions and lots more. It's a minor investment that can save you lots of trouble.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Microcosmic orbit: Read Awaken Healing Energy of the Tao, June 8, 1999
By A Customer
When I was fourteen, my father sent me Taoist Secrets of Love. I started to use some techniques, including the microcosmic orbit. At the age of nineteen, I had to start using anti-psychotic medicine. When I was twenty-six I discovered that the microcosmic orbit necessifies precautions and can otherwise lead to dangerous side-effects such as hallucinations. I stopped using the techniques. In the following year I was able to function better socially and could use half the usual dose of the anti-psychotic medicine. However, I had been achieving well intellectually for all those years, and in the year without the techniques those abilities became weaker. Now I am starting over by following every precaution mentioned in Awaken Healing Energy of the Tao when using the microcosmic orbit. I expect the prospect of sanity in addition to the usual good intellectual functioning. Mantak Chias summary of the microcosmic orbit in Taoist Secrets of Love is careless, because it implies that there are no side-effects and no precautions to be taken. Be aware that you must read Awaken Healing Energy of the Tao if you want to use the microcosmic orbit safely.
