Bone Marrow Nei Kung Taoist Techniques for Rejuvenating the Blood and Bone Mantak Chia Destiny Books Rochester, Vermont Acknowledgments I wish to thank foremost those Taoist Masters who were kind enough to share their knowledge with me, never dreaming it would be so enthusiastically received by the Western world. I thank artist Juan Li for his illustrations and for the artwork on the cover of this book. I also thank the editors of the original edition, Charles Soupios and Valerie Meszaros, for their suggestions and many long hours devoted to the completion of Bone Marrow Nei Kung. Further, I wish to express my gratitude to contributing editors Michael Winn, Dennis O’Connor, Eric Edelstein, Juan Li, and particularly Ron Diana, all of whom contributed much to the technical aspects of this practice. There were many other contributors who graciously offered their time and advice to help communicate this system, including Gunther Weil, Ph.D., Rylin Malone, and John-Robert Zielinski. Thank you to editor Nancy Yielding for her clarifying work in this edition. Without my mother and my son, Max, the book would have been academic. For their gifts, I offer my eternal gratitude and love. Finally, the Universal Tao will remember Felix Morrow, publisher of Universal Tao Books, who died in May of 1988, before the completion of the first edition of Bone Marrow Nei Kung. We are sorry that he could not see the results of his valuable advice and assistance. Contents Acknowledgments Putting Bone Marrow Nei Kung Into Practice Foreword: Chinese Secrets of Bone Power by Michael Winn Introduction: Self-Enhancement through Taoist Practices 1 • Understanding Bone Marrow Nei Kung 2 • Healthy Bones: Bone Breathing and Bone Compression 3 • Sexual Energy Massage 4 • Hitting 5 • Chi Weight Lifting 6 • Developing Your Bone Marrow Nei Kung Practice Appendix 1: Supplementary Practices Appendix 2: Meridian Points About the Author About Inner Traditions • Bear & Company The Universal Tao System and Training Center Putting Bone Marrow Nei Kung Into Practice The practices described in this book have been used successfully for thousands of years by Taoists trained by personal instruction. Readers should not undertake these practices without receiving personal transmission and training from a certified instructor of the Universal Tao, because some of these practices, if done improperly, may cause injury or result in health problems. This book is intended to supplement individual training by a Universal Tao instructor and to serve as a reference guide for Universal Tao practices. Any reader who undertakes these practices on the basis of this book alone does so entirely at his or her own risk. Universal Tao instructors can be located via our websites: www.universal- tao.com and www.tao-garden.com. The book provides a means to improve your health and to attain a richly rewarding sexual experience by overcoming imbalances in your system. People who have high blood pressure, heart disease, or a generally weak condition should proceed slowly, particularly in practicing Testicle or Ovarian Breathing. If you have not had previous experience with moving energy in your body through meditation, you must realize that this process is real and necessary for your safety. Adverse health effects can be caused by leaving excess energy in the organs or head; therefore, it is particularly important to move this energy through the Microcosmic Orbit and to store it at the navel as prescribed in the instructions. This book does not attempt to give any medical diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or remedial recommendation in relation to any human disease, ailment, suffering, or physical condition whatsoever. The meditations, practices, and techniques described herein are not intended to be used as an alternative or substitute for professional medical treatment and care. If you are suffering from a physical, mental, or emotional illness, you should consult with an appropriate professional health care practitioner or therapist. Such problems should be corrected before you start training. We urge every reader to study the exercises thoroughly before beginning any practice. Do the exercises in the proper combinations and sequences, and carefully follow the instructions. The Universal Tao and its staff and instructors cannot be responsible for the consequences of any practice or misuse of the information in this book. If the reader undertakes any exercise without strictly following the instructions and warnings, the responsibility must lie solely with the reader. Foreword
