The Missing Key to Masculine Strength: Ancient Tantric Alchemy Meets Modern Men's Empowerment
Why traditional semen retention falls short and how daily energy transmutation transforms everything
In Mantak Chia's groundbreaking work on Taoist sexual practices, he reveals something fascinating:
Ancient Chinese emperors guarded the knowledge of sexual energy transmutation so carefully that they even declared it should never leave their palace walls.
Why?
They actually feared that if a common man in any village mastered these techniques, he could become as powerful the emperor himself.
Today, thousands of men are searching for this knowledge and discovering useful fragments of this ancient wisdom through the modern semen retention movement.
But the process most find themselves in is still a struggle.
That’s because they are working with incomplete information. They're experiencing what they call "edging". A way of coming close to fullfillment and then holding back, stopping that powerful pressure. They then find themselves in an inevitable buildup-and-crash cycle that leaves them oscillating between frustration and depletion.
What if there was a complete system that actually works?
The Problem: The Sinus Curve of Suffering
If you've tried semen retention or "no-fap" practices, you've probably experienced this cycle:
Phase 1: Buildup
Sexual energy accumulates, creating internal pressure. You feel powerful at first.
Phase 2: Frustration
Desperate attempts to control or suppress natural urges. Fighting your own biology with willpower alone.
Phase 3: Release
Inevitable ejaculation, often accompanied by guilt or shame.
Phase 4: Depletion
2-7 days of low energy, while your body rebuilds its vital essence, having to extract life force from the other organs of the body, to ensure the basics of the reproductive cycle of life. Back to square one.
Most men get trapped in this exhausting pattern, never experiencing their true energetic potential.
The fundamental flaw? These approaches focus on stopping something rather than transforming it.
You're trying to suppress your natural sexual energy through willpower alone, creating unsustainable internal pressure, because you are dealing with a “built-in” force of nature.
But, what if the problem isn't the amount of sexual energy you are dealing with? What if it's what you're doing (or not doing) with it?
The Hidden Ancient Solution: Conscious Energy Transmutation
True masculine alchemy isn't about suppression.
It's about conscious redirection.
Instead of fighting your sexual energy, you learn to guide it upward through your body's natural energy channels (called nadis in yogic tradition).
This transforms raw sexual energy into:
Physical vitality that energizes every organ
Mental clarity and enhanced cognitive function
Emotional stability and magnetic presence
Spiritual awareness and expanded consciousness
This isn't new-age theory. It's ancient “energetic technology” that was once reserved for spiritual royalty.
The Missing Key: Daily Alchemy, Not Desperate Control
Here's the insight missing from most semen retention and even tantric programs:
You don't manage sexual energy in the moment of arousal—you prepare your energy system daily through consistent practice.
Think of it like a pressure cooker.
The water (your sexual energy) is brought into a different state, from liquid to steam. Your sexual energy is brought from dense vital life force to subtle vital life force. This is the foundation of alchemy, dissolving one state and bringing it into another state: “solve et coagula”.
It’s a process that you practice, like learning a language. You don't learn Spanish by trying really hard when someone speaks to you in Spanish. You practice daily, until it becomes natural.
Sexual energy transmutation works the same way.
When your nadis (energy channels) are trained to direct energy upward every day, your body naturally follows this pattern during your culminating intimate moments of bliss.
The result?
You can experience full orgasms without ejaculation—maintaining (and even amplifying) your energy
I have myself experienced:
expanding experience of pleasure
creating a flow of energetic connection between partners
being able to “ride the wave” together
being able to avoid premature ejaculation
increasing the controllable sexual energy over time
increasing general vital life force
improving sense of health, meditation, memory and even spiritual awakenings
No willpower struggle. No buildup-crash cycle. Just natural, sustainable vitality.
How Energy Transmutation Actually Works
In Taoist and yogic traditions, sexual energy has a way of being stored in the body (jing in Chinese, ojas in Sanskrit). It’s understood as condensed life force.
It's the same energy that:
Creates new life (procreation)
Fuels physical vitality (health)
Powers mental clarity (consciousness)
Opens spiritual awareness (awakening)
When you ejaculate, you release this concentrated essence.
This is natural and healthy. Ejaculation—especially when frequent and without conscious awareness—depletes your vital reserves. At first this is not noticeable and it may take focusing on it consciously to detect it, but at some point it becomes glaringly obvious.
The alternative isn't celibacy or suppression.
It's learning to circulate this energy through your body before it builds up into pressure for release—and finally experiencing orgasm without ejaculation entirely.
This is done through:
Specific body postures that create physical pathways for energy movement
Conscious connection with subtle source energy
Soul Bath™ method of guiding energy through voice and intention
Daily practice that enables you to control the powerful energetic flow when it counts
The Three Elements of Sustainable Transmutation
Based on decades of practice with Siddha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, and 5 years of core-shamanic journeying, I've found three essential elements that make energy transmutation sustainable:
1. Specific Yoga Asanas for Energy Direction
Not just any yoga—targeted postures designed specifically to guide sexual energy upward through your spine, organs, heart, and head.
These asanas train energy to flow along subtle energy channels (nadis).
Within weeks you are no longer fighting your energy—you're continually bringing it into a subtle form that you can easily guide with your intention.
2. Core-Shamanic Connection with the Energies
By consciously connecting with the energy of Source (helps to alchemize the dense energies into subtle life force energy), you speed up your transmutation process significantly, beyond what the asanas achieve on their own.
3. Daily Integration (10-20 Minutes Maximum)
The practice is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine—morning and evening—creating sustainable transformation over time.
Consistency of this short form daily practice is what makes the difference.
What I and other Men Experience With This Practice
These aren’t my claims. I am sharing actual experiences I have heard from other men and sharing my own. Everybody is different and can have different results.
Physical Transformation
Consistent energy throughout the week (no crashes)
Enhanced strength and endurance in physical and mental activities
Improved immune function and overall health (less down time with illnesses)
Natural charisma and magnetic presence others notice
Mental and Emotional Benefits
Sharp memory and enhanced cognitive function
Emotional stability and reduced anxiety
Increased motivation and clarity on life purpose
Freedom from the buildup-frustration-depletion cycle (I experience this a liberation from frustrated sexual energies, while having plenty of sexual energies in times of actual intimacy)
Intimacy and Relationships
Longer, more satisfying intimate encounters (45+ minutes easily if it feels integrated)
Non-ejaculatory orgasm (full-body experiences, actually more intense and pleasurable)
Deeper spiritual connection with partners and with innermost being
Spiritual Awakening
Direct connection to your innermost being and to inner masculine strength
Spontaneous insights and visions during practice and reflection
Liberation from unconscious patterns around sexuality, free to relax and tune into partner
More access to creative and manifestation power (more available vital life force)
Splitting the Orgasm: What I Experienced
I spontaneously coined a the term: “Splitting the Orgasm”.
Here's what that means:
Normally, orgasm and ejaculation happen simultaneously—they feel like one individable event.
But they're actually two processes that usually occur together.
Through specific techniques, you learn to:
Experience the full sensory pleasure of orgasm
Without the physical release of ejaculation
While directing sexual energy upward through your body
The result?
Pleasure, shared experience, deep energetic connection and (in advanced stages) even spiritual experiences, but without depletion. On top of all this, your partner may experience you as more present, more sexually powerful, and more connected.
And you not only maintain but increase your vital energy, rather than depleting it.
This isn't about becoming a "magic super lover" and performing for hours.
It's about experiencing your full potential as a human being on this planet, more fully connected with the power of nature, with an extremely heightened capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and vitality—without the crash.
Why Emperors Kept This Secret
When you get into longer lovemaking sessions—beyond 45 minutes, beyond an hour—something profound becomes possible:
At times, depending on your greater being, divine gateways can spontaneously open.
Spiritual experiences can arise for both partners. Experiences that you are sharing with each other as they happen, deepening your emotional connection, making it infinitely more meaningful, by adding spiritual experience to sensory pleasure.
You access deeper aspects of yourself a being of Source, incarnated on this beautiful planet.
This is why the knowledge was guarded.
Not because emperors were selfish—but because a man who masters his sexual energy becomes unstoppable.
He has:
Unlimited vitality
Unshakeable confidence
Magnetic presence
Direct spiritual access
He becomes a king in his own life.
The Integration with Soul Bath Practice
If you've learned the Soul Bath method, you already understand energetic work:
Calling up energetic fields
Dissolving old patterns
Establishing new agreements
Anchoring with self-love
Most importantly: dissolving blockages that hinder energetic flow (and sexual alchemy!)
Tantric alchemy can build on the foundation Soul Bath™ continually provides as you clear and heal old emotional baggage.
While Soul Bath works with old emotional layers and heals fragmented soul parts, tantric practice works specifically with sexual/creative life force.
Together, they create a complete system:
Soul Bath clears emotional blockages and old agreements
Tantric Alchemy transmutes sexual energy into vitality and spiritual power
One prepares the ground. The other quickens and increases the supply of vital life force you then manifest in all areas of your life.
How to Begin
Start with Foundation Work
Before diving into advanced tantric practices, clear the energetic and emotional field by establishing your simple daily Soul Bath™ foundation:
Clear emotional blockages
Heal fragmented soul parts
Call back soul powers
Dissolve unconscious blockages that are holding you back in life and love
Establish constructive inner agreements
This makes it possible for your alchemized sexual energy to become subtle life force that flows upwards in your body and creates a stable energetic container for working with sexual energy.
Then Learn the Specific Asanas
Not all yoga is designed for energy transmutation.
You need specific postures that:
Open the nadis (energy channels) along your spine
Guide energy from the base of your spine upward
Anchor transmitted energy in your organs, heart, and head
Then Practice Daily
Morning practice (10-20 minutes):
Specific asanas for energy direction
Connection with Source energies
Alchemizing dense sexual energies upward as subtle life force
Setting intentions
Evening practice (10-20 minutes):
Releasing accumulated tension
Alchemizing dense sexual energies upward as subtle life force before sleep
Releasing and integrating the day's experiences
Finally: Apply During Intimacy
With daily practice established, your body naturally follows trained energy pathways during the intimate culmination moment of bliss: splitting the orgasm.
No desperate control. No willpower struggle.
Just natural, sustainable transmutation and blissful flow, shared with your partner.
The Two Options
Option 1:
Continue the endless cycle of seeking incomplete information. Experience temporary gains followed by inevitable crashes. Never quite access your full energetic potential.
Option 2:
A new path where you master the complete system of Sound Bath™ and Men’s Alchemy™. Break free from the sinus curve of build up and energy depletion forever. Step into the new life of the magnetic, vital, conscious, spiritually-awake man you intend to be.
The emperors knew the power of this knowledge.
Times have changed. Now it's your turn!
