Synopsis "Sealing of the Five Senses: Advanced Practices for Becoming a Taoist Immortal "

An illustrated guide to follow the path to the Immortal Tao • Reveals the 9 inner alchemy formulas for the Sealing of the Five Senses practice, including strengthening the senses and activating the Thrusting Channels • Explores how abuse of the senses leads to energy loss and degradation, for example, listening too much hurts the mind • Explains how to transmute warm chi into energy for the immortal spirit body, created through mastery of the three Kan and Li practices In ancient times, the Sealing of the Five Senses involved both Taoist Inner Alchemy and physical sealing of the sensory organs to prepare the master for extended periods of astral travel and meditation, during which he would remain completely motionless for years at a time. In modern times, physical sealing of the senses with wax is no longer required; however, in order to accumulate profound energy and gather cosmic light for the immortal spirit body one must stop the energy losses that occur through the senses. In this guide to energetic sealing of the senses, Master Mantak Chia and William Wei reveal the 9 inner alchemy formulas for the Sealing of the Five Senses practice, including strengthening the senses, connecting the senses to the organs, activating the Thrusting Channels, and harnessing the energies of the Big Dipper and the North Star. They explain how to stop energy losses through the five senses and transmute warm chi into energy for the immortal spirit body. The authors explore the importance of proper diet and eating habits in this practice, providing striking examples of World War II concentration camp survivors who were able to obtain energy from chewing water. Revealing the benefits of Sealing the Five Senses for non-Immortals, the authors explain how abuse of the senses leads to energy loss and degradation, for example, listening too much hurts the mind and crying too much harms your blood. They show how sealing the senses allows one to create the Crystal Room cauldron, where fire and water energy can couple to generate a superior essence used to achieve greater awareness and “steam” all the body’s major organ systems. An advanced practice for those who have mastered the three Kan and Li practices, the Sealing of the Five Senses is the final step on the Taoist path to Immortality.

Mantak Chia, born in 1944 in Thailand, is a renowned Taoist master, instructor, and writer specialized in internal energy practices and holistic well-being. From an early age, he studied Buddhist techniques and martial arts such as Muay Thai, tai chi chuan, and kung-fu. His training was enriched under the guidance of Yi Eng (White Cloud), a hermit from the Dragon's Gate sect of the Quanzhen Taoist school, who taught him a complete Taoist training system and authorized him to teach and heal. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying the theory of healing energy, Chia studied anatomy and Western medical science for two years.

Among his most notable works are Chi Self-Massage: the Taoist Way of Rejuvenation (1990), The Multi-Orgasmic Man: Sexual Secrets Every Man Should Know (1997), and Healing Light of the Tao: Foundational Practices to Awaken Chi Energy (2000). These books, focused on the development of internal energy and overall health, have been translated into several languages, including Spanish, and have contributed to the spread of Taoist practices in the West.
