Microcosmic Orbit

Microcosmic Orbit is an energy meditation introduced to the West by Master Mantak Chia, and is one of his signature teachings. It is an energy cultivation practice that involves guiding and circulating energy through specific pathways in the body. This meditation is a fundamental practice in Taoist Inner Alchemy, aimed at harmonizing and balancing the body’s energy flow for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

The term “microcosmic orbit” refers to the idea that the human body is a reflection of the greater cosmos, and by cultivating and circulating energy within the body, one can attain greater alignment with the natural rhythms of the universe. The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation aims to harmonize and balance the body’s energy, promoting physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. It’s important to practice this meditation with a relaxed and focused mind.

Sexual Alchemy is also integrated with other Taoist practices, such as the Microcosmic Orbit Meditation, and Six Healing Sounds from the previous week, to create a comprehensive energy cultivation and well-being system. Another important exercise when practicing sexual energy cultivation is the grounding work of Iron Shirt Qigong I. In this course we practice two of the main grounding practices of Iron Shirt Qigong I.

While Taoist Sexual practices have physical and health benefits, they can also be seen as a path to spiritual growth and enlightenment in Taoist philosophy. Practitioners can attain higher levels of consciousness and connect with the Tao, the ultimate source of all existence, by refining and directing sexual energy.

Cultivating Male Sexual Energy Multi-Orgasmic Man Cultivating Male Sexual Energy practice aims at non-ejaculatory practices. Men train in techniques that allow them to experience sexual pleasure without ejaculating. The idea is to separate orgasm from ejaculation to conserve and circulate sexual energy within the body. In this way, semen is retained, and sexual energy is harnessed, transmuted, and circulated throughout the body’s energy channels. Testicle Breathing and testicle massage practices are essential to solo male cultivation. By consciously engaging with testicles, male individuals can promote vitality, well-being, and spiritual growth.

Cultivating Female Sexual Energy Multi-Orgasmic Woman The first practice to empower and cultivate sexual energy in women is Ovarian Breathing, a technique that can reduce menstruation duration, reduce cramps, and concentrate more life-force energy into the ovaries, enhancing sexual vitality. The second practice, the Orgasmic Upward Draw, can be practiced individually or with a partner. Proficiency in this practice can lead to experiencing a total body orgasm that surpasses the conventional vaginal orgasm, all while preserving life-force energy. In addition to these practices there are two more preparatory practices. The first involves the use of a jade egg. This exercise serves to fortify the urogenital, pelvic diaphragms and vagina, as well as the glands, tendons, and nervous system. The second is breast massage, which transforms sexual energy into QI, activates the gland system, and increases the energy flow to the breasts, thereby helping to break down congestion to support breast health in the future.
