Tao Meditation 01
Dao De Jing – A Qigong Interpretation Translation & commentary by Dr. Yang JwingmingTao Meditation 02
Zhuangzi – The Way to Inner PeaceTao Meditation 03
Taoist I ChingTranslation & commentary by Thomas Cleary
Spiritual Qigong was first practiced by mountain hermits who lived in health and harmony with the natural world and the consciousness that guides nature. Through their deep understanding of the cycles and energy patterns of earth and sky, they discovered the healing power of nature, and developed self-renewing methods for daily practice that tunes the body, breath and mind, and brings them into unity. Tao is the natural way of living in health and harmony with the wisdom of nature and the laws of the universe. It is a physical and spiritual path nourished by nature for balancing body and mind. The Taoist journey of personal transformation celebrates each moment as an opportunity to honour all life, to appreciate the beauty and power of the universe, and to accept all that comes to us with an open and loving heart. Tao can only be experienced though personal practice, not through words or intellect.
Taoists observe that we are part of the natural world, we are born of the energy of the earth and stars and elements. For some reason we forget our place in nature, and so we need to reclaim our rightful heritage as children of the Earth. Just as the universe is an integrated whole, the body and mind is integrated whole with each part connected to and dependent on the other parts. Yet as we grow into adults leading sedentary lives, we often forget to use all the other parts of our bodies. We depend on the head and arms, using the spine, hips, and legs only to get us from the car to the elevator to the swivel chair, where we can use the head and arms again. By restricting our movement, we forget how to move strongly, lithely and efficiently. When we forget how to live fully in our bodies, we overly restrict the way we move, and eventually we forget who we really are. Taoism involves many practical disciplines that can restore our lost youth and inner peace while awakening our deepest potentials. Spiritual Qigong is just one of the many practices that can help us to maintain health and learn universal truths if we are willing to open our minds to the natural way.
The Taoist principles of ‘yin yang’ and ‘wu wei’ found in nature, teach balance and harmony through effortless action without force or conflict, to flow with the current of nature and allow things to happen in their own natural time. The goal of Spiritual Qigong is no excess no deficiency, which results in smooth and efficient energy flow. By avoiding tension and stress, and focusing on relaxation, gentle stretching with slow abdominal breathing, your whole being can saturate and diffuse blood and oxygen, leading to radiant health and inner peace. Spiritual Qigong also has a profound effect on your external life, creating love, wisdom and compassion in all your daily activities.
The Spiritual Qigong Course provides traditional practices, supported by modern scientific definitions of qi, to guide you on your path toward spiritual growth. The purpose is to open the Jade Gate (third eye) and reunite your human spirit with the spirit of nature. Also known as ‘Dao Yin’ or ‘Tao Yoga’, Spiritual Qigong is a relaxing style of natural healing based on Chinese Taoism that originated in the northern Himalayas over 3000 years ago. The essential concept of Spiritual Qigong is that we are nourished by nature and guided by nature’s wisdom so we can maintain radiant health and live in harmony with our environment, leading to oneness with nature and enlightenment. Spiritual Qigong encourages mind-body fitness in a daily self-renewal program including sitting, standing and moving meditation, but is very different from the commercial gymnastic yogas which over emphasize extreme stretching. Most important in Spiritual Qigong is relaxation, and focusing the mind through Tao meditation to reconnect with the Qi of Nature and the Spirit of Nature using advanced Qigong meditation including Grand Circulation Water Path, Spiritual Breathing and Bone Marrow Cleansing.
