Reflexology
     
The components of one’s total self—the body, mind, and spirit—are nour- ished and replenished by sexual energy. Whether regarded as life force, breath, air, energy, or vital essence, chi is the life-giving force that creates movement and maintains the universe. Working with this energy is what contributes to one’s overall state of happiness. Sexual reflexology culti- vates the expression of energy that will better one’s mind, body, and spirit. It works with the body’s sexual energy and the way it manifests itself in the body, and its role in health and well-being has been recognized by Taoists for the last five thousand years.
The general premise of reflexology is that all of the body’s organs have reflex points located on other body parts. Organs in one area of the body can be stimulated by working the reflexes in a corresponding reflex-point area. Sexual reflex points, the most powerful and strongest of which are the sexual organs, draw upon the body’s best energy since the entire body is involved in feeding the sexual center with energy. When stimulated, the
sexual reflex points have a powerful healing effect on one’s organs and senses. Sex acts, such as intercourse, become a form of “ecstatic” acupres- sure, in that the entire body pumps the sexual organs full of energy when they are stimulated, promoting general relaxation and releasing endor- phins, which help the body to feel good. Taoists see sexual intimacy as a healing practice, the cultivation of sexual energy for the body, mind, and spirit that ultimately leads to a healthier, sexier individual.
There are four basic techniques used in reflexology, two of which you can use on many of the hot spots described in this book. (Most of us are familiar with reflexology that is performed on the feet and hands, but you can think of the whole body as your playing field.) As with any other ex- ercise, you’ll get better with practice, so don’t be afraid to practice on yourself!
Thumb walking—Bend the first joint of your thumb (the one closest to the tip), being careful not to bend the second joint (the one at the base). Holding the thumb below the first joint will help. Bend and unbend it a few times in midair for practice. Place the outside edge of your thumb on the skin of the area you wish to stimulate, rocking it from the tip of the thumb to the lower edge of the nail. “Walk” the thumb forward by bending and unbending the first joint, being care- ful not to push the thumb. You want it to inch along, using firm pressure. Check in with your partner to see if the pressure needs to be adjusted; what feels good will change depending on the body part being stimulated and the person’s sensitivity.
Finger walking—Bend your index finger at the first joint (the one closest to the tip) only. Holding the finger below the first knuckle may help. Bend and unbend in midair for practice. Then place the tip of your finger on the part of the body you wish to stimulate, and rock from the fingertip to the lower edge of the fingernail. “Walk” the finger forward by bending and unbending the first joint with- out pushing the finger. Check in with your partner to see if more or less pressure is desired. Also, avoid digging into the skin with your fingernail.
Hot-Spot Send-Off
     
The full scope of tantra, yoga, acupressure, and reflexology goes far be- yond what is presented in this book. Yet key components of each are brought together here in an attempt to interweave the many facets of mind, body, and spirit that make an erogenous zone so incredibly hot. I have drawn upon these disciplines in the hope that you will become bet- ter able to stimulate your body and your lover’s body, expand your sexual energy, and have a more blissful, gratifying sensual experience overall.
With all of this in mind, we’re ready for a guided tour of the body’s wild attractions
