Taoism is the 5000+ year old foundation of Chinese philosophy, science, and medicine. One of the basic principles of Taoism is the view that health, rejuvenation, and spiritual attainment can be achieved thru living in harmony with nature. In the Taoist view, harmony and balance are essential for health. The body is seen as a whole system; therefore stress or injury to one organ or gland weakens the entire body. Illness is caused by a blockage of energy. Too much or too little energy in one part of the body results in disease in that part while stressing the entire body. As a modern expression of ancient Taoist techniques, the Healing Tao teaches us how to correct this imbalance by awakening the chi or vital energy, and circulating it to the needed areas.
A very powerful emotional creative and spiritual expression is one’s sexuality. Through special Healing Tao techniques called Healing Love, participants learn the conservation and transformation of sexual energy as a revitalizing factor in their physical and spiritual development.
