Large extraction

The Big Draw exercise, also known as the "locking force" in men and the "orgastic upward draw" in women, provides a brilliant opportunity to extract and move sexual energy into the upper centers of the body with subsequent transformation into vital energy and spiral force (i.e., higher Shen form).

These exercises can be performed either independently or together with a sexual partner. The technique is of particular importance for men, as it allows you to control the ejaculation process. According to Taoist theory, a man loses a huge amount of energy during ejaculation. This is why after orgasm a man feels tired. Having learned to control orgasm, he will be able not only not to lose energy, but also to accumulate it. Over time, you can learn to have an orgasm without ejaculating. Women do not waste sexual energy during orgasm. Moreover, multiple orgasms energetically saturate the female body. Therefore, Taoists argue that while men's sexual energy is limited, women's sexual potential knows no limits. However, women lose sexual energy during menstruation.

Performing these exercises is also the same for both men and women. When exercising on your own (masturbation) or with a partner, you need to make sure that sexual arousal does not go away. Before you begin to perform it, you need to bring yourself to a pre-orgasmic state. This rule mainly applies to men, since women, when experiencing an orgasm, do not lose sexual energy.

Take a shallow breath, press the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth and clench your teeth. Tuck your chin in, tense your eye muscles and direct your gaze upward. Squeeze your anus and buttocks and tighten your genitals. This will activate the “sacral pump” and send sexual energy up the spinal column. Fists should be clenched, arms and legs tense, shoulders and chest relaxed. All actions are performed almost simultaneously. The sexual energy is then drawn up the spine and into the head, where it spirals in the same way as in the testicular/ovarian breathing exercise. After this, the tip of the tongue is pressed against the palate, and sexual energy is directed to the area located just below the navel, where it accumulates. This exercise can be done any time you have some privacy. However, you should not do it before bed, as the energy saturation will make you stay awake all night.

Men should remember that it is better to accumulate as much sexual energy as possible than to waste it thoughtlessly. It is unlikely that you strive for excessive sexual arousal, which is fraught with the loss of all sexual energy during ejaculation and orgasm. However, if you are feeling very excited, stop, take a few breaths using the belly breathing technique, and look up and to the left. Using your index, middle and ring fingers, locate the indentation in the perineum and press the area several times with your middle finger. Taoists call this point “a million dollars.” Before you begin the exercise, try to find this point. Pressure on the perineum will not block the flow of sperm. By masturbating, you will learn to experience orgasm without losing seminal fluid. At the end of the exercise, massage the perineum with three fingers. Truly, the centuries-old sexual knowledge accumulated by the Taoists is inexhaustible. I have only scratched the surface of this treasury; you still have a lot to learn in the future.

Exercises associated with the “third treasure” Shen calm the mind, stabilize the emotional state and teach one to consciously control the flow of vital energy qi. The art of Taoists to comprehend the processes occurring inside the human body provides a unique opportunity to control one’s consciousness. The technique of mind control is a fundamental component in the art of qigong.
