OK, here it is, typed directly, word for word from the book. This is the HOW of SKF:
1. Sit erect on the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the floor about shoulder width apart. Wear loose pants or wear nothing from the waist down, so it can literally all hang out. Do not practice naked in a cold room, or you could lose a lot of chi. With the air circulating around your bottom you’ll naturally become more aware of your “privates”. Allow your attention to center around your scrotum between the two testicles and you might be surprised to discover that it really is cold, or yin, down there. Make sure you feel very relaxed. If you are tense, do some stretching exercises or take a walk first to disperse tension.
2. Inhale slowly and pull the testicles up. Hold for awhile, then exhale slowly and lower testicles. As you inhale, think of the breath going down into the testes and filling them up. At the same time raise the testes with the breath. Gently continue inhaling and exhaling with the testicles until you feel a lot of cold energy in the scrotum. You may do this in a round of 9, then rest and practice again 3-6 sets. Use the mind alone to cause the movement of the testes up and down-don’t flex your penis or anus muscles.
After exercising for a week or two, you may observe the actual rise and fall of the testes with your breathing. This movement confirms that you are breathing properly. At a more proficient level, the lower abdomen will appear to move less: nearly all visible action will be in the scrotal sac itself. Breathe through the nose. The whole body must relax. Allow all tension to flow out of you as if you were in meditation. Use the mind alone to raise and lower your testes. With practice you will learn to identify the cold chi stored in the scrotum area.
3. Guide that “cold” feeling from your scrotum to your perineum by inhaling and pulling up slightly on your testicles. At the same time feel it coolly flow the few inches to the perineum, an action induced by putting your mind at the perineum and holding it there. Inhale and exhale several times at the testes to build up more energy. The retention of the chi at the perineum is very important, for if you release your attention the cold energy will drop down to the scrotum or leak out. It is just like you are using a straw to draw up the fluid. When you are out of breath and pause for a while you need to keep the attention by holding your finger over the straw. If you release it will drop down and you’ll have to start again. Do this for several days or until you get it.
4. Begin to draw the sex energy from the testes up the back channel, as if sipping on a straw. Always start with testicle breathing, inhaling and exhaling till you feel the chi energy is ready. Inhale, draw the “cold” from your testicles to the perineum and then draw it up to the coccyx, the very bottom of your spine, mostly bone, that’s called the hiatus opening of the sacrum.
When you pull the cool chi up to the perineum and then to the sacrum, slightly arch your lower back outward, as if you were standing with your lower back outward, as if you were standing with your back against a wall and flattening against it. Tilt the sacrum downward and hold it down in order to help activate the pump action, which will be further accentuated if you gently tighten the back of your neck and skull bones. Hold the energy at the sacrum for a while, then exhale but hold your attention at the sacrum.
Then let your sacrum and neck relax back to their normal positions, this will help activate the two pumps, sacral and cranium pump. At the same time do the testicle breathing. Bring the energy up to the sacrum again, hold it there till you can feel the sacrum open and the energy gradually move up. You can actually feel the cold energy move up a little at a time. If you’re having trouble feeling this, try rocking your sacrum back and forth and then hold still and observe the effect of this pumping.
There’s an indentation in the sacrum bone and that’s where you draw your testes’ “cold” energy. This particular area is usually a little difficult to work because sperm energy is denser than chi and has to be pumped up. So that’s where that pump comes in. Some people experience pain, or tingling or pins and needles when the “cold” enters the hiatus, so don’t be upset if it happens to you. You can get through the coccyx if you’re having trouble by gently massaging the area with a silk cloth from time to time.
5. If you’ve managed to go up to your coccyx, spend the next week drawing the cold to T-11 in your mid-back (the 11th thoracic vertebra). Do it in the same manner, with an inhale-exhale at the testes and sucking it up your spinal straw to the perineum, sacrum, T-11 (opposite your solar plexus, at the last “floating” rib). Pull up and retain at T-11 till it feels full and continues to open and move up by itself. Again, because sperm energy is denser than chi, you have to accommodate it by flexing that part of your back in and out to straighten it. That loosens it for freer passage of the “cold” energy.
At the T-11 adrenal glands energy center, sitting atop your kidneys. In Taoist practice we regard this as a mini pump, where your arch will create a vacuum to push up the energy higher.
6. Your next stopping place is at your jade pillow. This is at the back of your head, between C-1 and the base of the skull. Do it in the same manner as described by inhale-exhale at the testicle and keep on pumping up the energy up to perineum, sacrum, T-11 and the base of skull. In this area is a place to store the energy for further use.
7. Your next stopping point is Pai-Hui, at the crown of your head. Do it in the same manner only this time fill the straw to the top. Tilt the sacrum to the back in order to straighten the curve out a little bit to help activate the pump action. This gets the lower pumping going. At the same time you tuck in your chin a little and squeeze the back of your skull, it will activate the upper cranial pump. Keep on pulling up to the point dead center on top of the head.
8. When the energy finally goes up into your head, men will have the very distinct feeling that it’s spinning and usually in a clockwise direction, as you look up. If you’re alert you can count 36 revolutions. It should feel good and refreshing; the extra energy should help your creative power and improve your memory. You can think more clearly, and are the beginning stage of controlling your sexual urges or frustrations. This sperm energy is later converted into chi, the original life force, in the spiritual levels of Taoist yoga. When people get older they’ve used up so much of their chi that the brain energy and spinal fluid gradually drain out and dry up, leaving a cavity. The testicle breathing transports the sexual energy to fill the cavity and vitalize the brain. Taoists regard the sexual energy as very close to the brain energy.
9. Finally you can bring the sexual energy from the testes up to the head in one sweet draw up the straw, a single clean inhale. In the beginning you can just go from station to station, till you feel the back channel (governor channel) is more open. Eventually you will be able to put your mind in the testicles and the crown of the head and just mentally move the sexual energy from the testicles up all the way to the brain.
10. Take your time to really feel the “cold” when you practice. Don’t rush it, and always keep those pumps going as you breath in and out. Use more mind than physical pull when you do all this. Let the “cold” feeling be your guide. Work at it too hard and you’ll heat up the “cold” chi. You won’t be able to safely store this hot energy in your brain.
The Golden Nectar
When your head is filled with sperm energy the excess sexual chi may spontaneously combust with the chi in your higher centers and spill over into the Microcosmic Orbit and flow down through your palate and down the tongue. This will taste different to different people. It’s generally called the Golden Nectar but it can taste like champagne, honey, coconut juice, or fragrance of all kinds of things, or it can simply feel like a warm tingling sensation on your tongue.
