The term enlightenment is often used in casual conversation, or as an adjective to describe an eye-opening experience. Traditionally, however, enlightenment specifically refers to a rare and difficult transformative mental and physiological process resulting in nothing short of omniscience and escape from the cycle of rebirth.

Practitioners for thousands of years have recognized that the powerful energy aroused by our desire is an indispensable resource for enlightenment. Because human life is inseparably linked with desire, we must transform and repurpose this tremendous energy.

Recent decades of gradual opening of Buddhist culture to the world has resulted in more details of the practices becoming available to the public. Subtle body energy work had been known long before the word Qgng was used and is a common componentthough this is usually kept quietof major religions, including the Daoist, Buddhist, and Hindu philosophies. In the Buddhist sutras, or sacred texts, the winds (Q/energy), channels (meridians/pathways), and drops (essence/chemistry) are referred to and can sometimes be mistranslated metaphorically by those unfamiliar with Qgng Grand Circulation.

Along the journey of inner cultivation, whether in yoga, meditation, or Qgng, over time one may experience deeper levels of meditative absorption that can fundamentally transform the mind and body. This may sometimes result in supernatural abilities or spiritual powers, alternately considered a gift and an obstacle along the path. These Siddhis (translated from Sanskrit as fulfillment or accomplishments) are a natural manifestation of our innate mind-body potential, resulting in clairvoyance, psychic powers, mind over matter, and ultimately reopening the Third Eye. Dr. Yng has spent his lifetime developing and revealing a modern scientific understanding of this complex mental and physiological process that we undertake in tantric practice.

The topic of partner Qgng dual cultivation, or partner meditation, is sometimes popularized as tantric sex and has been visualized most prominently as the Yab-yum image. Vajrayna Buddhists and the Nyingma School of Tibet specialize in this esoteric or secret technique. This sometimes confuses people, as the general understanding is to subdue desire and attachment to end our lifetime of suffering, as expressed in the Buddhas first teaching of the Four Noble Truths.
