This stops seminal emissions and tonifies the lower foundation. Also, rub BL23, chest, under the rib-side, and KI-1. Do not rub the pit of the stomach.
② To stop seminal emissions, lie side down on a short bed or a mat with legs bent. Do not straighten the legs, and the disease
will be cured.
③ When an erection occurs at the time of Ja (11:00 pm ~ 1:00 am), lie down facing the sky, close the eyes and mouth, and touch the palate with tongue. Put the fists behind the waist and straighten the fingers. Touch the coccyx with the left middle finger, and touch the right index with the right thumb, and make a fist. Put both legs straight, straighten the toes upward, and breathe in. Imagine qi moving up along the spine, touching the tip of the head, and slowly coming down to the lower cinnabar field.
