The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress cover

White Tigress women undertake disciplined sexual and spiritual practices to maintain their beauty and youthfulness, realize their full feminine potential, and achieve immortality. Revealed here for the first time in English are the secrets of the White Tigress that have all but disappeared from the world. Under the guidance of Madame Lin, the matriarch of a distinguished White Tigress lineage still in existence in Taiwan, Hsi Lai was given the privilege to study these practices and record them from a modern perspective so they will be forever preserved. The vast majority of Taoist texts on alchemy, meditation, and sexuality are directed at male practitioners. The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigresspresents traditions that focus on women, traditions that stem from a long line of courtesans and female Taoists. Translations of the ancient teachings from a rare White Tigress manual dating back 3,000 years explain the sexual and spiritual refinement of ching(sexual energy), chi (vital energy), and shen(consciousness)--the Three Treasures of Taoism--the secret to unlocking eternal youthfulness and immortality.

"With this wonderful record of White Tigress teachings compiled by Hsi Lai, we are assured that our philiosophy and knowledge will not pass into oblivion . . . the teachings will now find a new fertile ground in which to grow." * Madame Lin *
"Fascinating and mind-expanding, Sexual Teachings offers readers a unique perspective on sexuality, spirituality, health, and the meaning of life." * Spirit of Change, March/April 2002 *
". . . one of the first books detailing how to become a 'White Tigress' and have incredible sex, while becoming more spiritual." * Diane Wilde, SHE magazine, 06/03 *
