The Chinese finger trap illustrates how sexual energy flows: the harder you force it or resist it, the tighter it gets. Letting go of resistance and moving into the present allows energy to expand and flow freely through meridians, or chakras.
This mirrors the balance of tension and relaxation in sexual energy work—relaxation and presence free the flow, while force or control constricts it. This balance is essential for practices like edging, breathwork, or moving energy through the body. It’s about harmony, surrender, and allowing energy to move effortlessly.
Forceful effort, overthinking, or tension can block energy flow. Relaxation, surrender, and allowing energy to move naturally leads to deeper and more profound experiences.
