The Immortal Sisters appeared in both imperial courtyard and poor villages, and many miracles happened at their participation But in the most cases Immortal Sisters simply flied away avoiding undesirable contacts To rise above the ground is the true achievement of her real transformation for a woman, who always was earthly creature and keeper of the low energy. (CHOM)

Feminism is a product of mutative or modified consciousness. Being affected by rhythm of social development, feminism exchanges female quality to women quantity Women are thrown out of aircraft not being instructed to make use of parachute; thats why they are becoming sappers. They would like to fly! First, a woman must learn to respect the woman within herself; next, she needs to think how such woman should live in society. (Ben Chelero)

The question of flying ability is raised far from being rhetorical. Certainly, initially Yin Taoist practices were formed within completely different circumstances; above all, they were intended to absolutely another goal. At ancient times, a happy woman lived naturally and created her transformation up to achievement of immortality. At present time, an unhappy woman embarkes her artificial development while she even hardly understands how she is organized and why she needs such changes.

This book will help a woman to establish a primary background for positive perception of herself, that she could merge all over with her intention to fly. Generally, a principally problematic modern woman wishes to restore her balance. Nevertheless, firstly, she can do nothing but merely accept the practice itself as a goal involving herself into continuous transformation. After perceiving the beginning transformative archetype, gradually she can clarify the inner meaning of practice too.

Any practice is a difficult affair; therefore, herein we will be limited by the stage of preparation. Elementary techniques will allow a woman to recover her womanhood, to become more selfconfident, and to maintain deep internal calm. Please, notice that this period is emphasized in Taoist tradition itself, that's why it is entirely acceptable for beginning. Since a woman could grow her wings easier within tranquil atmosphere, better she would learn to make use of parachute.

Let us denote priority at once. Probably, you know the book on development of female sexual energy by Manivan Chia, however herein the discourse will go to another direction. We follow the practical approach which is represented in books published by Taoist Academy INBI and was taught during seminars navigated by this centre. These books are very complicated for apprehension, and these seminars suppose extremely serious attitude to personal development.

Eventually, such madly occupied women are almost unable to accept Taoist origins themselves. Nevertheless, the basic techniques would help them in particular to preserve harmony, granting them as it were new recomposing body, energy, and consciousness altogether. Henceforth, the shape of wholeness will allow a woman to hold herself in any circumstances. Tracing the simplest expression of womanhood, later she can decide how and why improve her alignment.

I rejoice plenty of things Nature produces trillion of creatures, but a human being is the most valuable out of them. And I have succeeded to become a human being! This is my first joy. Men and women are different; moreover, males are respected while females are neglected, therefore a male has the superior value. And I have succeeded to be born as a male! This is my second joy. Excellent! Confucius said. You are able to smooth yourself very well! (Le-Tzsy)

Taoism assumes consideration that a woman represents Yin (calm) embodiment within Yang (moving) environment. A corresponding problem is that our world is situated in motion, and a woman is forced to move instead of staying at rest. Moreover, she has to assume this inverse order positively. Although any woman has more Yin than Yang energy, yet every woman has her unique proportion of Yin and Yang energies. All women differentiate according to degree of their substantiation (Yin) and completeness (Yang). Their personal correlation can be expressed as proportion between permanence and power, or respectively between sensitivity and creativity.
Containment of active Yang energy has become completely indispensable. A modern woman has already accepted absolute quietness as something impossible and even unwished. Anyhow, she exists in a worldly stream of influences which merely compels her action. Yet, mostly she acts disorderly being in conflict with her authentic nature. Surely, some women are endued with Yang energy adequately, so that they would be able to act independently. However, then second female distinction comes into effect, namely her irrational thinking which makes her behavior lacked of any reasonable logic.

Many things depend upon an attitude of woman herself, rather, upon her ability to objectify her personal attitude in existence. Really, a woman needs for her ordinary life not so much Yang nurturance as much Yin regulation and consolidation. The abovementioned two distinctions between woman and man (according to their energy types and thinking processes) preset all other differences. We will examine them one by one, not forgetting that separation itself is artificial.

Step by step, we will try to explain certain problems of female physical body, energy, and consciousness. Nevertheless, even preparation for practice claims attention to all three components at once. Thats why such layer-by-layer review will serve as preparation to preparation. At first, we will gradually oversee female existence, not seeking for any intervention. Indeed, you have to understand the whole before correcting some parts.

Body Aspects: Sore Feet and Headache
Lots of women endeavor to get healthy by love First, its necessary to heal your ill body, to free your breath. Breathing must fill your whole body from your feet till the top of your head. Your heart must recall your female body. It must be selffeeling instead of self-cognition. You know, while your body is ill, your love is ill too (CHOM)
All physical problems are caused by three states arousing any malaise. They are sickness, weariness, and physical non-coordination. Supposing, first and second problems are comprehensible in straightway, but third one requires some explanation. It is a matter of wrong possession of your personal body which literally practices what it preaches. Occasionally, perhaps, your own body becomes an independent personality, and you attempt endlessly to put clear arrangements with your body.
It is not the question of our insufficient flexibility or strength, which leaves much to be desired since they are inappreciable in city circumstances. The point is that chronically your legs are lazy, your head is stupid, your heart is broken, and your stomach is hungry. These spontaneous actions are far from intuitive masterpieces. Mostly, it is just inefficient operation of your personal body. In this chapter we will not touch your excessive worry of how you look. However, we will return to this point later to discuss female beauty.
You will be released from inefficient operation of personal body in the period of preparation for practice. A social active and fatally tired woman needs her own force restoration. At the physical level, this is the matter of healthy food and sufficient sleep which are chosen individually. Sustentation of comfortable conditions includes hygienic procedures starting with everyday shower. It is well-known that water washes away dirtiness but it also clears temporary energy disturbances and supports bloodstream as a massage.
