Hormones Health and Life Extension

In terms of life extension and a youthful appearance nature contrives to present us as thebest we will ever be, most vigorous, most attractive when our hormones are at their fullest…in our youth. To again suffuse the body with hormones, specifically sexual hormones, re-invigorates and renews the body like when we were young. The dissipation of this energy in fantasy, sexual excesses or through emotionality or personal dramas would cause an even faster degeneration of the life force. That is why the discipline of a well-established spiritual path is necessary in order to retain and properly direct the energy produced.

Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming states that: “Hormones stimulate mental activity, thinking and physical growth and are directly related to the strength of our life force. They determine the length of a person’s life, and whether they are healthy or prone to illness. They stimulate the emotions and lift your mood or when out of balance they depress you physically and emotionally leaving you fatigued or feeling drained.

Traced back far enough, hormones are the very original source which stimulates thinking, ideas, creativity, enthusiasm, passion and optimism. When a person knows how to generate and boost these hormones and use them properly he or she can energize themselves to a degree that is literally impossible for the average person.”

*It is through regular alchemical Qi gong practice of harmonizing the breath with the heartbeat, awakening and balancing the centers (Tan tiens), circulating the Qi through the Tan tiens and the channeling of the sexual essence (Jing) to nourish the brain and glands that the life and youth giving hormones are stimulated and their energy spread throughout the body creating radiant health and a longer richer more rewarding life. js
