Download or read book White Tigress Green Dragon written by Hsi Lai and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern perspective on sexuality is almost exclusively focused on procreational and recreational sex. Little attention has been given to the ancient Asian perspectives on the more profound restorative and transformative (spiritual) benefits of sexuality. This challenging material will definitely bring about a rethinking of sexual purpose and conduct. "White Tigress" refers to a female who follows the natural workings and forces of her sexuality to achieve beauty, youthfulness, longevity, and immortality. Her sexual practices all derive from teachings passed down through various consorts and female Taoist nuns and immortalesses. "Green Dragon" refers to the male surrogate sexual partners of a White Tigress, who provide her with heightened sexual energy and passion. A Green Dragon can also be a co-cultivator in a Tigress's practice, helping her engage in the deeper transformational practices so that they both can achieve restoration and illumination of body and spirit. The White Tigress and Green Dragon sexual-spiritual practices and philosophy revitalize sexual passion and compassion, demonstrating that there is much to learn about sexual energy and how it can greatly benefit the body and mind.
Download or read book Lilith The Power of the Woman s Spirit in the Age of Aquarius written by Ed Russo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-06 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace the darkness for there you will find the light. We all have been told in this patriarchal system that to look for salvation is to look upward and outward to a god or gods to worship. We are not here to worship, but to look inside ourselves and embrace who we are and grow to our full potential. Inanna is the archetypical Goddess of love and war. Her descent into the Underworld is a reflection of our journey of going inward to face our true nature. When we fight this, we then are at war with nature. Lilith is Inanna's handmaiden as we ourselves can also become partners with Inanna. Realizing who we are we then embrace the balance with the female archetype with the male archetype which will bring us wholeness as women become stronger and men and women come to love themselves. This new perspective is what is taken place as we enter into the Age of Aquarius.

Hsi Lai continues the work he began in The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress by exploring more fully the male role in Taoist sexual transformation. As with those of the White Tigress, the techniques of the Jade Dragon are part of a disciplined sexual and spiritual practice. The goal for the Jade Dragon is health, longevity, and immortality through external and internal regimens for the enhancement and accumulation of the Three Treasures of Taoism--ching (sexual and physical energy), qi (breath and vital energy) and shen (spiritual and mental energy). The author presents the nine Jade Dragon exercises that strengthen erections, enlarge the penis, increase semen quantity and quality, prevent premature ejaculations, and enhance sexual energy. He also details herbal remedies for revitalization that address both physical and spiritual sexual components, as well as ancient Taoist breathing and meditative practices and sexual stimulation techniques that amplify sexual intensity in order to create the elixir of immortality. Concluding with the importance of the interactions between and interdependence of White Tigresses and Jade Dragons, Hsi Lai shows the reader how these ancient Taoist secrets can be incorporated into a contemporary lifestyle.

Book excerpt: Amy Tan’s The Valley of Amazement is a sweeping, evocative epic of two women’s intertwined fates and their search for identity, that moves from the lavish parlors of Shanghai courtesans to the fog-shrouded mountains of a remote Chinese village. Spanning more than forty years and two continents, The Valley of Amazement resurrects pivotal episodes in history: from the collapse of China’s last imperial dynasty, to the rise of the Republic, the explosive growth of lucrative foreign trade and anti-foreign sentiment, to the inner workings of courtesan houses and the lives of the foreign “Shanghailanders” living in the International Settlement, both erased by World War II. A deeply evocative narrative about the profound connections between mothers and daughters, The Valley of Amazement returns readers to the compelling territory of Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. With her characteristic insight and humor, she conjures a story of inherited trauma, desire and deception, and the power and stubbornness of love.

Download or read book Embracing the One written by Stuart Olson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Embracing the One (Bao Yi) visualization meditation method relies on the use of an illustration called "The Sexual Intercourse (or Marriage) of the Dragon and Tiger," which first appeared in the Ming dynasty text The Jade Tablet Decrees on Nature and Life, one of the most important Internal Alchemy works in all of Taoism. The Dragon represents Qi (vitality/breath), our spiritual energy; and the Tiger, the Jing (essence/the body), our sexual energy. Together they symbolize the two main aspects of the human consciousness and function, representing the ego (Dragon) and our instincts (Tiger). In Taoism, the Dragon is seen as what keeps us always in delusion of a self (ego) and the Tiger keeps us distracted by instincts (id). These two mental components are forever seeking to conquer the other. As long as the Dragon and Tiger battle in the mind (meaning, the ego attempting to overshadow the id, and the id overpowering the ego) we will remain in the state Taoism calls "perplexity and turbidity." But once the ego and id are revealed as false we experience "clarity and tranquility" or what is called "the naturally-just-so" or "attaining the Tao." In this book, Stuart Alve Olson provides a concise and detailed look at the Taoist visualization meditation method of Embracing the One, clearly explaining the underlying principles of this ancient practice and providing the first English translation of the text, illustration, procedures, and related chants. Even though the methods of Embracing the One are distinctly simple in application the effects of the overall practice are quite profound and deep. Through the simple act of visualizing the Dragon and Tiger a whole new mind ground can be discovered, naturally bringing forth the "Spirit." This little work is in many ways a landmark piece on Taoism and will definitely augment one's knowledge of meditation and Taoist philosophy.
