This introduction to TAO meditation will help you learn:

  • Standing practices-body alignments used in all Taoist practices, as well as how to sink your chi and release blocked energy inside your body with the Outer Dissolving technique.
  • Moving tai chi circling hands - includes all the fundamental healing practices of tai chi, projecting and absorbing energy, and techniques for achieving deep relaxation at all levels, increasing mobility and balance and relieving joint and general body pain.
  • Moving practice of ba gua circle walking-a foundation meditation practice of the I Ching and the internal martial art of ba gua chang.

China’s ancient Water method of Taoist meditation includes tai chi, other internal martial arts, chi gung, hands-on energetic healing methods and sexual practices that are still practiced as a living tradition today. Taoism predates Buddhism and is based on the principles described by Lao Tse, Chuang Tse and the I Ching over 2,500 years ago. This weekend will explore the four basic ways TAO meditation is done: standing, sitting, moving (within tai chi and ba gua) and lying down.
