Beginner Practices of the Universal Healing Tao


Awaken Healing Energy.jpg
Awaken Healing Energy

Awaken Healing Energy will teach you how to tap into your own healing potential so that you stay healthy and full of vital energy. The book introduces meditative and internal energy practices revealing the Taoist secret of awakening and circulating Qi, (generative life force) through the major acupuncture meridians and internal organs for self-healing and rejuvenation.

Transform Stress into Vitality.jpg

Transform Stress into Vitality

Western medical doctors have only recently discovered the disastrous effects on health of stressful living. The ancient, successful tradition of the Tao shows, with its long record of powerful healing techniques, shows how we have the power to regenerate our health and transform stress into vitality.

Chi Self Massage.jpg

Chi Self Massage

Whilst Western massage is massage primarily of the muscles, Chi Massage focuses on rejuvinating one's own internal energy (Qi) to strengthen and rejuvenate the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue etc), skin and vital internal organs.

Awaken Healing Light.jpg

Awaken Healing Light

Heal yourself by pulsing Qi (life force energy) through the key points of the body. This book shows how to circulate the life-force in a simple loop up the spine and down the front, two major acupuncture channels of the body. Balancing these yang (male) and yin (female) currents of bio- energy is the most direct path to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.


Simple Chi Kung.jpg

Simple Chi Kung to awaken Energy within

Based on the fundamental principles of Taoism, chi kung mirrors the movements of nature and helps practitioners connect to their own inner "flow". Chi Kung is treasured both for its healing power and its capability for preventing disease. In this book you will learn a series of simple exercises which are easy to perform and are designed to loosen the joints and relax the muscles to improve the flow of Chi.
The joints of the knees, hips and spine are worked, and the exercises are followed by breathing routines, and then stretching, twisting and rotation exercises working on the tendons and ligaments in different parts of the body.

Foundation Meditation Practices of the Universal Tao


Inner Smile.jpg
The Inner Smile Meditation - How to cultivate Joy

The Inner Smile is a powerful internal healing and relaxation meditation. Deep relaxation dissolves physical and mental tensions that can cause energy blockages and unhealthy Chi. The Inner Smile enhances the energy of the organs and glands, our life force in general, and stills and focuses the heart and mind. It makes us more aware of our body and inner being, because we learn to communicate with our organs, glands, spine and other specific parts of our body, as well as our soul. Taoists discovered that consciousness is rooted not only in the brain, but also in the vital organs and in a more subtle sense, in each of the cells.

Smiling to the organs and thanking them for the work they do will reawaken the intelligence of the body. We are often so out of touch with the body and emotions that we do not notice inner disharmony developing until it finally manifests itself as a serious illness.
Practicing the Inner Smile daily lets us look inside to keep in touch with the state of our inner organs, our Chi, our breath and emotions. We can spot problems at their inception, making it easier to balance the emotions and virtues.

 

Six Healing Sounds.jpg

The Six Healing Sounds Meditation - Sounds That Heal

The Sounds that Heal are the Six Healing Sounds and related postures helping to restore, balance, and cleanse the vital organs. They also stimulate the Chi flow throughout the body to enhance one’s overall health and vitality. The Cosmic Six Healing Sounds and their postures help to release any excess heat that may be trapped in the cooling sacs which surround each organ.
This book will show you how to assume the postures and produce the sounds; their vibrations redistribute any excess heat into cooler regions of the body where it can safely be stored or used. Once the organ energies are balanced, you have a good foundation for establishing and nurturing the virtue energies. This will help to maintain the Chi balance throughout the system.

Minor ailments, such as colds, flu and sore throats, can be prevented or thrown off easily. Psychologists have taught their patients to use the Cosmic Six Healing Sounds in sitting, standing and laying down postures to relieve depression, anxiety or anger; and bodywork healers have used the Six Healing Sounds to help speed up healing.

 

Cosmic Orbit.jpg

Microcosmic Orbit

One of the first healing techniques of the Universal Tao involves opening the Microcosmic Orbit within oneself. This practice awakens, circulates, directs and preserves the generative life-force – Qi – through the first two major acupuncture channels of the body: the Conception vessel up the front of the body (so-called because it is the first energy channel in the body created at conception) and the Governor vessel up the back of the body (so-called because it governs and guides the flow of life force in the body).
Dedicated practice of this technique eliminates stress and nervous tension, frees up energy blocks, massages the internal organs and establishes a sense of wellbeing. It also helps to create a better connection to the outside world.

Sitting and Lying Practices


Tao Yin.jpg
Tao Yin Taoist Yoga

The practices consists of a series of forty-eight postures which are performed sitting or lying, focusing in particular on strengthening the tendons and Psoas muscles, correct spinal alignment and deep relaxation of the body.
“Master Chia presents a fresh perspective on mind and body fitness - a perspective that is helpful to both beginners and experts alike”. Ed Burke, Four-Time Olympic Champion.
“I have no hesitation in recommending Master Mantak Chia's "Tao Yin" book. It teaches a gentle, yet powerful system for both maintaining health as well as for assisting patients in recovering from illness”. Dr. Andrew Jan, M.D. (Australia)
“Master Mantak Chia brings wisdom and experience to this remarkable book. These techniques will help you ease stress and live well”. Rob Schneider, Actor

Tan Tien Chi Kung v2.jpg

Tan Tien Chi Kung - Build perineum power

Tan Tien Chi Kung is the art of cultivating and condensing Qi (life force) in the lower abdomen – or ‘Tan Tien’. The Tan Tien is also the fundamental storehouse of the body. Known as the ‘Ocean of Chi’ to the ancient Taoists, this lower abdominal area holds the key to opening the body and mind for the free and continuous movement of life force energy. It also contains a large quantity of neuro-transmitters (more than in the brain), making it a key source of ‘body intelligence’. It is for this reason that the Taoists also referred to it as the ‘second brain’.

Tan Tien Chi Kung teaches specific breathing and movement exercises that develop the power of the life force stored in the body in order to increase vitality, strengthen organs and promote self-healing. These exercises allow practitioners to gain awareness of the Tan Tien’s function to restore mind-body harmony.

sexual reflexology 2.jpg

 

Sexual Reflexology - A New Approach for Loving Couples by activating the Taoist points of love.

The Taoists have written and taught on the subject of sexual energy for the last five thousand years, observing that nature is full of creative, life-giving sexual energy. By combining the classic Taoist sexual texts with modern reflexology theory, Mantak Chia, co-author of this book, presents a way for any individual or couple to better understand their sexual energy and to cultivate that energy for health and wellbeing through sexual reflexology.

Reflexology is based on the premise that all our organs have reflex points on other parts of the body. It is most often associated with massage of the hands and feet. Yet the most powerful reflex points are on the sexual organs.
The study of Sexual Reflexology will help couples find their sexual energy potential, and physical compatibility. It will determine a couple's internal energy compatibility and reveal their character and disposition that will help define the nature of their relationship. The practices help to strengthen the sexual organs through exercise and massage, and also enhance sexual pleasure by creating a more vigorous and healthy body that is more responsive to intense emotions and spiritual energy.

Taoist Secrets of Love

These secrets enable men to conserve and transform sexual energy through its circulation in the Microcosmic Orbit, invigorating and rejuvenating the body's vital functions.

Healing Love Feminine.jpg

Healing Love Through the Tao: Cultivating Female Sexual Energy

There are two main practices which the author teaches women to cultivate and enhance their sexual energy. One is Ovarian Breathing, which can shorten menstruation, reduce cramps and compress more life-force energy (Chi) into the ovaries for more sexual power. Another, the Orgasmic Upward Draw, can be done solo or with one's sexual partner. When this practice is mastered one can experience a total body orgasm that is beyond ordinary vaginal orgasm without losing life-force energy.

The sexual exercises in this book were kept secret for thousands of years, taught only to those sworn to silence. Mantak Chia, a practitioner of this ancient sexology, was the first to share this knowledge with the world.
These exercises may lend themselves to titters by the uninformed, but in fact have been successfully practiced for thousands of years to enhance the potency and pleasure of the women fortunate enough to know about them.
