Strategies for recovering spent Jing

Nothing beats exercise, sunshine, and vitamins, but standing meditation while watching the sunset or sunrise will up your swimmers in a jiffy!

I’m not sure I agree with master Yoda. All those things are generally good for you. But I think exercise and sunshine (e.g., a day at the beach) can be kind of draining. They are chi EXPENDING activities.

When you come, you’ve already expended a lot. So I don’t hot sunshine or vigerous exercise would be my top two reccomendations.

There is no quick fix for building it back. Rather it is a slow process of replenishment.

Certainly some immediate rest is in order. And probably the most beneficial thing you can do for your system.

Among vitamins zinc is most often mentioned, because you loose a lot in the semen.

Meat, particularly pork and kidney meats, are among the “kidney tonic” foods that help with jing. Then there’s the standard cornecopia of herbs — gineseng, he sho wu, etc. These are off the top of my head. Someone here might have a more complete knowlege of tonics. But they are ordinarily used for CHRONIC chi/jing depletion. Not because you — an otherwise healthy guy — happened to ejaculate.

My general advice is that shooting your load every once in a while should not be a cause of concern (and indeed, might actually be healthier for you than constant retention without mastery of higher alchemy).

I’d just enjoy the afterglow and take a nap.

what are some strategies you found helpful for recovering lost jing after ejaculating?
All raw food, especially raw meat, raw fish, raw dairy, and raw eggs.

…if you want super sexual power defined as ejaculating without getting tired you need to eat a raw meat diet, especially eating crustaceans alive and drinking their fluids.

Of course, the other day I bought a $100 lobster and deposited it in the east river to begin to pay back all the lobsters. 🙂 Some people saw me do it and told me I was stupid. I asked them if they thought the lobster fancied me stupid as well?

It started that one time I was in a fish store in Chinatown and saw a lobster trying to revive a dying fish in the holding tank. It grabbed it in it’s claw and tried to stabilize it, over-and-over. It was then that I realized the consciousness of fish in a human way.

This is very noticeable in Hong Kong where people purchase beautiful fish in restaurants not to eat, but to free their lives. Even though these fish spend their lives in the tank, they are quite spunky and all the other fish are mopey and headed to the fishy gallows.

Truly, the lobster I threw into the river didn’t attack me when I cut it’s claws loose and the thing was as big as a small dog.

Dude! Lobsters’ main diet is live food!!! What hast thou wrought? And don’t trust no Chinatown lobsters either–they’ll scam you every time.

Seriously, though, very cute story. The only thing I would have done differently is to make sure I was on a hot date with a like minded gal. That would’ve totally pushed her over the edge.
