I used to feel so stuck practising Mantak Chia energy exercises... this Taoist "Inner Smile" technique helped me get a handle on my body's energy

Hi, hello. My name is Danny and I struggled for months to wrap my head around the energies when I first came across tantric sex through Mantak Chiaā€™s books.

He teaches that, in order for a man to be able to raise his sexual energy, it is vital he start by cultivating an awareness and some degree of control over his body.

The book told me to find my sexual energy around my waist and lingum, & spread it to my entire bodyā€¦ For the longest time I couldnā€™t even be sure I felt any energy, forget about being able to move it!

Just like most problems in life, I eventually found the solution was simply to break it down into smaller pieces.

Not to brag, but to provide a little point of reference: last week I was able to control my sexual energies such that not only did I separate orgasm from ejaculation multiple times, but was able to stay ā€œpotentā€ for my partner for over 90 minutes.

We didnā€™t stop because we had to, we stopped because we were utterly exhausted and I made the conscious decision to bring it to its end.

How do you break that leap into a bunch of small bounds? I canā€™t claim to be the inventor of this solution: itā€™s an ancient yet science-backed Taoist technique called ā€œThe Inner Smileā€.

And you can use it in 10 minutes, right here and now as you read.

You may have heard that your body language has the power to shape your thoughts and emotionsā€¦ Amy Cuddy gave one of the most popular TED talks of all time about this phenomenonā€¦ even simply forcing yourself to smile releases serotonin and dopamine.

Taoists believe that the positive & negative emotions are rooted in your internal organsā€¦ and recent discoveries have revealed that our guts contain so many neurons that some scientists are calling it ā€˜our second brainā€™.

And just like with meditation, one can learn to understand and guide this brain.

So, without further ado, may I introduce you to the:

Taoist Inner Smile Technique (Aka Trust Ya Gut)

  • Start by just sitting comfortably with your feet planted on the ground.
  • Close your eyes.
  • Bring your awareness to the soles of your feet. Feel their connection to the Earth.
  • When you feel grounded and centered, mentally project a source of warm, happy energy about a meter (3 feet) in front of you. Whether it is an image of your own smiling face, or someone you love, or a mental space where you felt deeply at peace. (For me, itā€™s often the feeling of sunshine on my face while I listen to my memories of ocean waves crashing on the beach.)
  • Take your time to find a feeling of centeredness here. Breath into your mental sanctuary of peace.
  • When youā€™re ready, bring your awareness to the midpoint between your eyebrows, and make it the receiving nexus of all this warm, smiling, peaceful energy around you.
  • Let your forehead relax into the flow. Your cheek muscles, your jaw, as the serene energy spreads through them, and onward to envelope your whole head.
  • Let it flow down through your neck, perhaps causing your head to slowly sway side to side as the waves pass through to your chest cavity and stomach, filling them with that same light and loving energy.
  • Finally, breath deep, deep, deep into your lungs, suffusing this final bastion of negative emotional energies with love and serenity. Taoists believe the lungs are associated with the negative emotional energies of sadness and depression, as well as the virtuous energies of courage and righteousness. When you breath out through your smile, feel any remaining tightness and tension follow the air out of your body. Breath deeply and focus on the warm energy youā€™ve suffused throughout your body as it becomes more comfortable and natural to you., Allow yourself to feel courage, excitement, perhaps even a sensation of expansive glee to take its place.

And there you have it, youā€™ve kindled, harnessed, and guided a little seed into a harmonious energy suffusing your entire body and mind.

Youā€™ve mastered your energies. Or at least sensed and controlled them for a few minutes.

Once you've gotten comfortable with this, it's so much easier to start learning to guide your sexual energy throughout your entire body for more immersive and intense sexual experiences.

More on that in my future posts (if you guys like this I think I'll make a regular thing out of it).

Or comment/DM me if you have questions about male sexual energies and how one can go about harnessing themā€¦ Iā€™ve actually been teaching this professionally for the last 6 years, just not in English.

Thanks for reading :D, I hope it was helpful
