The Tao of Love

by Heng

Summary

The Tao of Love discuses various love-making positions, breathing, and diet, while stressing the connection between physical and spiritual fulfillment, and showing how sexuality is expressive of the broader realm of Taoist spirituality. The Tao of Love considers the "three treasures" of eros: Jing, the sexual essence; Qi, or essential energy; and Shen, or spirit. One need not be a Taoist initiate to benefit from the detailed discussion of the nine common exercises that enhance the Tao of the sexual union.
