When Sexual Energy Becomes Radiance One of the things I love most about my practice is having a front-row seat to witnessing something truly miraculous. During the Healing Tao Ceremony, I watch clients arrive exhausted — worn from too much work, too many commitments, too little sleep, and almost no real “me” time. Yet after the ceremony, they leave radiant. Their faces are glowing, their eyes are sparkling, and a quiet smile of peace spreads across their faces. Even aft

You don’t need another supplement, gadget, or extreme routine to feel younger. What you do need is something you already do every day — something that costs nothing. It’s called SLEEP! Sleep is the number‑one way we can look younger, feel stronger, and restore our natural vitality — especially our Jing, our primal life force, our sexual energy, and our erections.

There’s an ancient Hermetic and E

There is a saying in Taoism: the same energy that creates life also sustains it. This energy, called Jing, is the essence from which our vitality, creativity, and longevity arise. When we speak about the “right use of sperm,” we are really speaking about the right relationship to our generative force — our creative essence. From a Taoist point of view, sex is both the reason you are born and the reason you die. You are born because generative energy (Jing) was concentrated an

My client, John, once came to me with a conundrum. He and his wife had attended a dinner party with one of her closest friends. Before sitting down at the table, he greeted her warmly and exclaimed: “Anne, you’ve lost weight! You look great!” Later, in the car, his wife was furious. She told him her friend felt so insulted and she never wanted to see him again. Shaken and confused, he said to me, “I thought I was complimenting her! I don’t understand what I did wrong. W
