Second Energy Center:
For Women, Kuan-Yuan (Ovarian Palace)
The second energy center is in the Kuan-Yuan, the mid-point
of the ovaries. To locate the point place your hands flat on
your stomach with your thumbs at your navel. Directly below
your pinky, in a straight line from the navel is the mid-point, 1/
2 inches in from the skin. In later practice this point becomes
a great source of energy.Second Energy Center:
For Men, Jing Gong (Sperm Palace)
The second energy center is located in the Sperm Palace,
the area of the prostrate gland and seminal vesicles in the
lower abdomen just above the penis.
Before concentrating you can use your index fingers to apply
pressure to the area for one minute, returning your hands to your
lap and concentrating on the sensations. Apply pressure again as
the feelings fade.

The sperm palace is important for a man because it can cause
him to be sexually aroused. If this happens, bring the power back
from the Sperm Palace to the Ming-Men (point opposite the navel
on lower back). This sexual energy can be used to greatly increase
the circulating power of your chi, but first you must learn to circu-

For Middle-Aged and Old Men
Those who feel less sexual stimulation and older people, 40 to 60
years old, can concentrate on the sperm palace until they feel
power. If, however, they begin to have night emissions, they should
also switch to the Ming-Men.
Those who do not have this problem can concentrate at the
Sperm Palace until they experience warmth and a feeling of light-
