Taoist Relating, Sex and Meditation

Over thousands of years China’s Taoist communities developed ways to enable relationships to run more smoothly. In particular, during and after making love they would use their meditation methods to release and clear the subliminal energy between partners to benefit both by:

• Releasing the sexual energetic residue immediately afterward makes their next encounter new and fresh: a wonderful antidote to sexual boredom.
• Diminishing the tendency of the sexual act to afterwards engender excessive and painful emotional attachments such as anger, jealousy, obsessive possessiveness and fear.
• Not carrying the sexual energy of one partner into another’s bed which can be very disconcerting.

About the workshop

Given over three evenings, this workshop will cover several topics:

• The Dissolving method of meditation which done while sitting is the core practice of Lao Tse’s Water Branch of Taoism.
• An introduction to how the interactive practices of Taoism play out in the realm of sexual meditation.
• Time permitting and depending upon interest, answering questions related to sexual qigong and its methods.

The course is only relevant to and will only address issues related to the heterosexual community. It is recommended that participants attend with an opposite sex partner with whom to learn the practices being taught.

Bruce Frantzis is a Lineage Holder in the Water method of Taoist meditation passed down from the teachings of Lao Tse. To employ all of your effort and yet not use force—so that you avoid contravening the actual limits of the body, the mind and the spirit—is the gentle way of Lao Tse, one of Taoism’s greatest sages and author of the Tao Te Ching.
