I made revisions to the essays, clarifying the method instructions, and including reference to the connection of sacral & cranial pumps.

btw, the sacral and cranial pumps are talked about on pg 71 of Taoist Secrets of Love. The whole of that chapter 6 is really interesting review for this current topic.

I agree with your comments about combining with existing marrow methods. All good suggestions. Thanks.

We both know we have very different views on teachers, state of the art and so on. .. and our views tend to grate on eachother. Best to leave those dogs lazy under the porch. 🙂

The squeeze-around-the-sacrum is not a sustained squeeze, nor a clench; its just a flex-and-relax. Like, if you were to count during the squeeze (and you needn’t), you’d only get to “1”…[Read more]

But – even with an excellent technique – its periodically necesary to vary things, to produce rounded development. At least that’s what I’ve found with my practice;…[Read more]
