External Preparations

The room in which you practice should be quiet and well ventilated, but not cold. Keep a hard chair available for your meditation and as a place to rest the weight, unless you lift from the floor. The best time for these exercises is the morning after you shower and relieve your bladder and bowels. If you can, face the sun as you practice in the early morning hours, but never look directly into it at any time.

You are ready for Chi Weight Lifting practice when, after massaging the breasts and genitals, the vagina is moist with secretions. If not enough moisture is present, prepare the vagina with a natural lubricating cream. Women can feel reasonably safe with these practices—provided that the egg and string are kept sanitary—because the weight can be easily released if it proves too heavy to lift.

After learning how to use the egg, test yourself with the weightholding apparatus before you add any weights to it. If it feels light to you, begin adding the weight clamps. Later, you may start adding standard weights. When you are ready, you can increase the weight until a maximum of 2½ pounds is reached. Do not attempt to exceed this level on the first day. Instead, try to sustain the weight for longer periods, but less than a minute, to release more energy.

Weight Lifting Goals

The Universal Healing Tao does not recommend anyone try to lift over 10 pounds without supervision. On the basis of this book 10 pounds should be considered the absolute maximum goal. Women may find that their lifting capabilities are slightly different than men’s because they have no way to anchor the weight and are therefore more dependent upon internal power. It is certainly no shame for women to lift less than the 1 or 2 pounds recommended for beginners. If you choose to lift beyond 5 pounds, exercise more than the usual caution.

Warning: Lifting heaver weights without supervision is both foolish and contrary to the recommendations of this book. Further instruction in Bone Marrow Nei Kung is necessary for Chi Weight Lifting with heavier weights. Contact the Universal Healing Tao Center for information on advanced instruction.
