I am starting my response paper by raising my complicatedness about Taoism, Confucianism, and Shinto. My complicatedness basically formed because of the curiosity to know about religion in the world, including Eastern Asian Religion. The very question that always comes up is, are Taoism and Confucianism considered as religion or just a philosophical teaching? Some people might think that I did not have to raise this question, because the meaning of religion is too broad and there is no exact definition about religion. But, ethically critic, If Lau Tse and Kung teaching can consider as a religion, then why Aristotle’s or Plato’s teaching not considered as religion.

Both Taoism and Confucianism were considered as basic Chinese religion. Their concept is almost the same. Their concept such as: Recognition of Multiple Gods and Spirits, Ying and Yang, Filial Piety and Ancestor Worship, Divination, Development of Belief in the Shang Ti and Decline of Feudal system.[1] But one of the most powerful teaches in Taoism or Confucianism is their philosophy of Ying and Yang.  It is the symbol that all the tings in this world created “berpasangan.” If there is a good thing, there is also a bad thing. Yin is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime. In contrast, Yang is characterized as fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.[2]

Shinto is a national religion in Japan. It’s a real native Japanese religion. However, many people got misunderstood thinking that Shinto is apart of Buddhism. And it wasn’t. Buddhism is Buddhism itself, while Shinto is Shinto itself. People might be confused because seeing how people in Japanese seem to combine between Shinto of Buddhism. It’s actually the reaction of syncretism. And this is what happened in Japan. Some people born as a Shinto but died as a Buddhism. It is because the concern about life in this world is served by Shinto, while the concern about life after death served by Buddhism.

In Indonesia itself, Only Confucianism that was recognized as religion by the State. The adherent of Confucianism could mention their identity as Confucianism. They are also finally got some budget from the government. But not for the Shinto and Taoism. Maybe someday the country will accept them. Who knows?

The genesis of the name-Sheng Fui reads like a thriller. The system philosophy as was first built by Sage Hsien Chen Yu was, is denoted by the symbols Sheng for the power of reason and wisdom and Fui, power and lust for love. When it comes to the westernization and therefore commercial exploitation of this system was probably the oldest known philosophy, has one – plenty of clumsy and unimaginative – merely the initial letters reversed: it was from the new Feng Shui Sheng Fui …

As much as this one at first harmless-sounding words like fake smile: the contents of this new heresy comes from a real danger.

Today Feng Shui is a collection of exaggerations and distortions, which result in the sum often the opposite of what they are intended.

The web-www.sheng fui.de wants to expose the dangerous errors of the Feng Shui cult and return to the core philosophy of the actual system, the pure and unadulterated Sheng Fui. On the informative pages you’ll find valuable information about the real and only true Sheng-Fui, which was proven in all world religions.

What Is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui (pronounced – Fung Shway), is an ancient art and science which evolved more than 2,500 years ago in China. It is a system of knowledge that originates from the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, and in particular, the idea that the earth is alive and filled with ‘qi’ (life force) or Chi energy. In its most basic form Feng Shui reveals how to balance subtle energies (invisible to the eye) in any given space, to promote harmony, health and good fortune for the people inhibiting it.

The ancient philosophy of Feng Shui utilises the natural elements and the art of placement to bring a sense of equilibrium to the environment. The basic principles of Feng Shui work on maintaining a balance between two fundamental states – Yin (night) and Yang (day) and the five essential elements – fire, earth, metal, wood and water, to encourage positive Chi energy. Imbalances from any of these states and elements are believed to cause disharmony. Feng Shui practices are used to recognise the imbalances and create counter-balances where they may be needed.

The word Feng means wind, and the word Shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health; therefore, to have good Feng Shui is to have overall good health. In its original form, Feng Shui was traditionally used in the design of palaces and dwellings of the wealthy merchant classes. In modern times, the modified versions of Feng Shui allow the benefits of Feng Shui to be available for people from all walks of life.

Some people today still obtain the services of qualified Feng Shui professionals to maximise the benefits of Feng Shui. Real estate mogul Donald Trump is one of the best known users of Feng Shui. Trump hired a Feng Shui master to analyse his properties which required some major costly alterations. However, the basic principles of Feng Shui can be utilised with little or no cost, and even small changes can make a positive difference in any home or office environment.

There are dozens of different approaches to Feng Shui, all drawn from different Feng Shui masters, formulas and various schools of thought, but all agree that recommendations should be based on how Chi energy supports, circulates and enters an area or property.

Form School or Landscape Feng Shui

The earliest known Feng Shui originates from the south-west region of China during the Han Dynasty (200BC to 200AD). It is known as Form School or Landscape Feng Shui. This type of Feng Shui used the principle of four Form animals (phoenix, tortoise, tiger and dragon), to represent different areas and structures of a property, and focused on protection and security.

Compass School & Black Hat Sect Feng Shui

One modern popular Feng Shui approach is Compass School Feng Shui, which divides up any space into Eight Mansions, all representing directions (and includes a central ninth section). Another is the modern interpretation called the Black Hat Sect, which divides a dwelling into eight sectors, irrelevant of the compass directions (again with a central ninth section). Here, each sector is given a particular aspiration such as ‘career’ or ‘family’.

Tip # 1 Start with taking a bath together

Prior to having sex, you and your spouse had better take a bath / shower together. This can be a lot of fun, brushing each other’s body, caressing, kissing, considerable oral sex up to a point you both are ready to have sex. As a man, you will have to lift the woman up and carry her to bed.

Image via Wikipedia

Tip # 2 Maturbating each other

Masturbating each other is a very good fore-play prior to the real love union. Both of you can have sensation and pile up all the desires and finally blow it up in the real sexual intercourse. However, it should be born in mind that the man shall not reach climax during this phase; but the woman may. This is important since a man normally turns down upon climax. On the other hand, a woman can have climax one after another.

Tip #3 During intrcourse

During intercourse, the man shall take a full control of himself, not to ejaculate his sperm. Whenever, climax signals, the man shall vary the style, or pull out the ‘gun’ gently, and use fingers to stimulate the woman. When the man feels ready for another shot, he can easily ride on. Do this, as many time as you want. According to sex Taoism, a man should never ejaculate. 

It is therefore necessary to redefine climax in man. Climax and ejaculation should be treated differently. Climax is the peak of sensation; while ejaculation is the let-out of sperm. A good male sex performer is that he can reach the climax without ejaculation. Learn Taoist Sex, now.

In short, a man shall not ejaculate unless he wants a baby. An advanced Taoist can recirculate the sperms into his overall body to increase stamina. With this technique, a man can have sex more and more, even he can change partners (as you may have more than one wife).

Tip # 3 After glow

Without ejaculation, the man can stop intercourse if he thinks that the woman has had enough. It can be seen from her satisfaction from one orgasm after another. Pull out the gun and make your spouse sleep in your hug. If you are sure that she’s fast asleep. You can leave her and go to your other wife’s room and have another wonderful time.

Tip # 4 Keep your stamina

Regardless of age, a man can have wonderful time in sex. As a man, you have to keep physically and psychologically fit. You have to eat good and fresh food (no junk food or fat).  If you think you need food supplement and Viagra, make sure that you take natural or herbal products.

Have a wonderful time and be King Solomon.

But, actually, if we can possibly translate the word Kamasutra into English phrases, such as a guide to sexual intercourse, or the arts of love making, or love making techniques, and many more. Why then translators prefer to maintain its original word Kamasutra into different languages with only possible differences in pronunciation due to different shapes of vocal apparatus. It is basically argued that the word Kamasutra is well-known all over the world.

Image via Wikipedia

What is Kamasutra then? From the famous sculpture, as an illustration of this post, it can be inferred that Kamasutra is more or less the arts of love making. In some porns, we often watch people doing three-some or multiple sex, meaning one man with more than one woman.

This kind of sexual behaviour may have been practiced by polygamous family where one man has more than one wife. This one man can be, for example, a King (in the past Javanese tradition). But why bother? In modern porns, a woman may satisfy more than one man.

The point is that Kamasutra is an art. Not only does it have something to do with sex itself, but also with health and power. The man normally practices Taoism (ability to circulate sperm, not to be discharged). With this, a man can be more powerful because he manages to keep the energy. A very tactful man even can retrieve the energy of a woman during intercourse. only to give him more power.

In terms of health, regular sex is argued to promote your health. Remember sex can clean unwanted toxid in your body; sweat drops, physical movements all contribute to bodily strengrh, but above all, it is the peace of mind, especially your feeling of relief, after glow, that mostly contributes to health. 

Learning how Kamasutra styles is performed will give you more ideas of what and how to do. With respect to increasing power in men performing Kamasutra, you can learn from Sex Taoism, that is how to have multiple orgams without ejaculation, thereby giving the woman ultimate enjoyments of sex experience.

But on the other hand, porn movie turned out to have negative impact on sex. Here are six negative impact of pornographic movies that are often experienced by adult men:

1. Over Penetration

In all the scenes of a porn movie starring a man often portrayed an agile and tireless penetrate into the woman’s vagina, while she continued to moan and reach climax or orgasm with penetration force over them.

This is not true, in actual sex, more women enjoy penetration that is not monotonous. In and out without stopping even to make the area part of the female sex organs become blisters. La sex positions penetration Taoism has many variations that can be learned.

2. Very Aggressive

In a porno film many scenes that are very aggressive to the male porn star female cast. Please note that like any other film, porn film also has scenes and storyline. The porn star in porn movies are the professionals who are making their acting for a living.

Therefore, they do not have to love the style at imitate. Too aggressive when making love like forcing women to perform oral harshly, or perform anal sex by force tends to make women become traumatized by sex.

3. In Rough Sex

Some sex positions in porn movies tend to look rough like the beat of a very hard penis in her vagina. Treat sexual partners with the rough as in the film, in analogy as an attitude of manly men. It’s also not true, because almost all women do not like to be treated harshly when connected. Learn your partner’s body language and be a gentle lover.

4. Are routine and Mechanical

Sex was not only the penetration of the penis into the vagina. Correct sex involves feelings and a sense of affection between two parties. You are not a robot and your partner instead of sex toys as often seen in porn movies. Use your feeling and touch your partner with affection.

5. Reckless Ejaculation

Or CIM Cum in Mouth is a scene in a porn film in which actor he would discard his sperm into her mouth. This can not be exemplified for granted. Your partner is not a porn actress and you’re not playing a scene in a porn movie. Ejaculating in a woman’s body, on the face or even inside the mouth of a woman you could have done with your record should get  permission from your partner. You can not just do it. 

6. One Female Body Exploration

Your sex couples are not sex objects but partners should be equally able to enjoy better sex. Ethics still have the account in their dealings. Sometimes some women feel uncomfortable with the excessive exploration in their bodies.

Kissing the V region or licking the anal region may make them uncomfortable. If he does not want do not do it. Recognize the point of lust women well and do not just follow your passion and your partner to explore a woman’s body at random.

Sex scene in a porn movie not a true reference in the study of sex, especially in studying the style of lovemaking. Do sex with a feeling of love and treat your partner with affection. Because you are not the only parties who enjoy sex, your partner must also be able to get the beauty of sex.

In addition, you may need to do research to find a porn movie titles on like a woman. Women watch porn movies are not like men, so you can learn what things that can make your partner happy.

    Zen practitioners understand that inner calm can easily come from moments of stillness. A common practice for many beginners in the art of meditation is to simply sit quietly for 20 minutes to see what happens. During this time of stillness a person may experience many beneficial areas of new awareness.

     One new awareness may be that this is probably the first time they’ve ever sat still and focused on themselves for a full 20 minutes. How sad is that? We have never spent 20 minutes to focus on our own experience of life in a concentrated fashion, and yet we wonder why our emotions, relationships and futures seem out of control or far less than we had hoped for. Can we even remember when we first decided to ignore ourselves? How can we create the life we want, when we don’t give enough attention to the best tool we have to reshape our lives (ourselves)?

     Others notice as they tried to sit in silence, that their self-talk never seems to stop. They find their mind chatters on endlessly and that the major bulk of their thoughts are negative. How do we even survive this negativity hour after hour, day after day, year in and year out? How is it that we  have never noticed it before? Why is it so very negative? (Later in Zen practice, we learn how to better control this phenomenon, reduce this, and then direct it. More on this area later.)

     Others notice how much they struggle with sitting still. How hard can it possibly be to sit still for 20 minutes? Try it and find out for yourself! What does it say about us that we are this uncomfortable being alone a few minutes with ourselves (without distractions)?

     Still other people notice a deep experience of serenity that they drift into and have rarely (or never) experienced before in their lives. With some practice, everyone will soon experience this serenity and learn how to find his peaceful state more quickly and easily.

1.Meditation. Meditation is a great way for you to stop your mind overflowing with thoughts, I’ll give you a quick tutorial; Sit somewhere where you feel comfortable (make sure it is quiet). Cross your legs, relax you whole body, close your eyes and breath deeply into the stomach (remember you don’t have to breath in too much just breath deeply), now for the mental part, “feel” the breath come in from the nose and down into your stomach and then “feel” it go back up and out your nose, do this for a few minutes and then start witnessing your thoughts when ever they arise, by witnessing I mean don’t jump into the thought and start thinking about the thought, just notice it (neither as good or bad) and then come back to the breathing. You can also try counting to ten every time you breath in and out and if you have a thought, yup you guessed it, start again.

2.Live in the moment. Easier said then done. If you’re at work or somewhere where you can’t meditate, simply live in the now. By living in the moment I only mean that you don’t think about the past or the future (not anything at all). This will help you out tremendously because if you think about it most of your thoughts cause anxiety about the future, what might happen or what will happen, they could also be about regret because of what you might have done or what might have happened. But there usually isn’t anything to be worried about in the moment, for example a tree might be under a lot of stress (physically, but for you; mentally) when Bob sits on its branch everyday at noon, now, the tree doesn’t put itself under stress because Bob is going to come back in 6 hours or because Bob sat on him earlier would he? No of course not, so keep in mind that being stressed or worried is just a WASTE of time.

3.Stop judging, start witnessing. Witnessing doesn’t only have to apply with thoughts, it can also be applied to your surroundings. Rather then having thoughts about something being bad  or good simply witness it, for example;rather then “Oh My God why did -situation- have to happen” think “Oh, that’s what happened”, you see if you think of something being good then you are going to automatically start thinking about others things as being bad (which might not even BE bad in the first place). Have you noticed that when ever you listen to your favourite music track you just relax and stop thinking unnecessarily, you know why, because you are witnessing in a “deep” state, so remember witnessing isn’t just about seeing, it’s also about listening, touching, tasting and even smelling (Zen Buddhists usually listen). So just look at the colours around you, feel the object you are sitting or standing on, you can also witness what you are doing. The more you witness the more you’re gonna love it.

So just try those 3 simple yet powerful methods to become a happier person and take control of your thoughts because your emotions reflect on what you think, scientists have also just realized that being depressed has an effect on your brain (physically). After a week you’ll be feeling as great and hopefully worry free, and remember, the more you practise these methods the more worry free you will become.

The Chinese idea of ch’i (or qi) is a decidedly Eastern concept. It’s called prana in India, and ki in Japan, but in the West, there is no historical reference to it. It’s rather remarkable that something so important to the cultures of over half the world’s population could be totally unknown to Western civilization until relatively recently. But what is ch’i? Why is it now so important in the West, and how does it affect us? In order to answer these questions, we have to take a cursory  glimpse into Chinese Taoism.

Taoism (or Daoism) is an ancient Chinese philosophical and religious tradition, exemplified by the writings of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tze. Although the intricacies of Taoism are far too complex to detail here, the basic tenets of the philosophy are simple. The tangible universe is created of opposites, such as light and dark, hot and cold, large and small, etc. Every created object can be described and experienced through the balance of these opposing forces, which are referred to as yin and yang. These forces act equally in opposition, and it’s from this opposition that events arise. A famous teaching example of yin and yang is the example of dropping a rock into a still pool of water; as the waves extend outward, there are both peaks and valleys in the surface of the pool. Another example is the image of sunlight shining on a mountain and and a valley; as the sun drifts across the sky, darkness is replaced by light, while light is replaced by shadow, in equal amounts. The actions can be described as a combination of opposites. Although these are  extreme oversimplifications of the subject, they are  reasonable visual aids for readers new to the subject. But how do yin and yang relate to the concept of ch’i?

Ch’i is the interface between ourselves and the outside world, it is the force of yin and yang acting together as they modulate within (and without) the body. It has been described as “the internal life force”, or “energy flow”. Translated literally from the Chinese as “breath” or “air”, it is an essential element to the understanding of acupuncture, acupressure and other traditional forms of Chinese medicine that are becoming increasingly popular and respected in the West. Integral to the study of martial arts such as kung fu and aikido, ch’i has been portrayed countless times in movies as a sort of magical super-power, akin to the “force” of the Jedi Knights. A true understanding of yoga is impossible without grasping the concept of ch’i, although it is referred to as prana by yoga practitioners.

According to Chinese tradition, ch’i flows through the human body along a series of paths called “meridians”. These meridians extend down from the top of the head, through the spine, and along the arms and legs. At key locations in the body, ch’i is concentrated at certain points. It is at these points that acupuncturists place their needles. The theory is that the body’s vital energy becomes constricted at these points, causing illness, and that manipulation of these points, through needles or pressure,  can relieve or eliminate symptoms. Martial artists are concerned with these points because they believe that the application of  pressure to these specific locations can cause disruptions and damage to the body. Another, more recent import to the West from China is Feng Shui, which is the concept of arranging one’s home or landscape in a way that creates beneficial ch’i flow.

Are these nothing but superstitions and Chinese folk-tales?  Ch’i has been examined in recent years by both the scientific and medical communities, but the jury is still out. Most conclude that something is definitely occurring in patients, but this may be because of the placebo effect. Even particle physicists have studied ch’i, due to the fact that modern quantum mechanics makes statements that sound suspiciously like ancient Chinese Taoist proverbs. If the concept of ch’i is real, Western culture has certainly ignored one of the most important discoveries about the natural world, and may now have to scramble to catch up.
