Jade Woman was an important Taoist Art form of the feminine deity. One of many techniques designed to aid the spiritual adept in reinforcing vitality was to invoke the Jade Woman, as an astral being within the adept's own body. This meant going beyond conjuring the presence of the diety in order to gain benefits. In this Taoist prescription the key word is Ts’un, denoting a form of purposeful activity that goes far beyond the practice of meditation. |
