We are going to talk about yin and yang so a quick overview of that will be helpful.
Yin and yang is a simple way to describe two opposing forces that make up everything that exists. Yang is expansive, hot, light, fire and so on, whereas yin is contractive, cool, dark, and water.
In the context of relationships yang is the leader, masculine, and purpose driven whereas yin is the follower, feminine, and full of loving radiance.
Every person has both yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) within them, yet they have only one core energy which is like their "default" state. Most women are born with a feminine core and most men are born with a masculine core.
When a man is in his masculine state his energy flows through him easily and naturally. If he decides to summon yin energy, for whatever reason, he can do so but will feel drained by it.
"The Yang Man's Guide to Increased Sexual Energy, Confidence, and Power" is intended to be used by men looking to increase their inherent masculine energy. Of course, we need balance of both yin and yang but I feel that in today's society, we are overloaded with yin so I am focusing on yang in this eBook.
As my mentor Stephane Hemon would say of today's culture,

"Men have less power (because of our comfy, emasculating lifestyles which are ultimately softening us) and women now have more power than ever before because this lifestyle we enjoy is largely a feminine lifestyle. Beer and TV and other comforts are yin energy based." -Stephane |
So how do we summon more of our yang energy? We'll cover that in chapter 3 but first we need to find out how to protect the energy that we do have.
