 ———————————————————————–

Dear Lovers of Living a Grounded Life,

Do you LOVE to Breathe?

Do you LOVE to stand tall and walk easily?

These two powers are the root foundation of human freedom. Freedom is not an abstraction. It may originate in heaven, but it demands functional physical integration in our body, which is our personal earth.

Our body is the ground of our being.

One of my Tao teachers in China put it simply: “Breath is the root of life. Take it away, there is no life.”

Everyone accepts this, but our breathing is still largely unconscious. There are hundreds of different Taoist breathing methods – more than any other tradition I’ve studied.

All are designed to make CONSCIOUS some aspect of our breathing, and to connect our physical breath to our subtle breath (Qi).

The Human Tao, Man’s Natural Way, is about listening to and receiving guidance from your body. That includes listening to what your breath is saying.

The Lung Spirit is said to be the master organ in the body in charge of teaching the other organ spirits about the Way of Breathing.

If we love and support our Lung Spirit (Po), then it will reward us with more effortless breathing and more efficient energizing of our whole body. That means a longer, healthier life, with less disease.

 ———–

        Controlling the Breath vs. Loving the Lung Spirit

Taoist breath work is not about controlling the breath, unlike many forms of yogic pranayama. It is about embracing our power to breathe, and loving our Lung Spirit at a deep internal level. One of the best ways to nurture our Lung Spirit is to get energetically more grounded.

“Energetic” includes the whole spectrum of our physical, sexual, emotional, mental, and etheric or subtle body layers of our personal Energy Body, also known as the Soul.

When our body’s Qi sinks down through various channels into our bones and into the earth, our Lung Qi also shifts from shallow chest breathing to deep, whole-body breathing.

That energizes all the vital organs, cells, and bone marrow where our blood is manufactured.

This need to energetically ground to support our breathing  is what we call Rooting. Nature itself defines what is “grounded”.

Tao is the invisible spiritual ground of physical Nature. Nature is traditionally called the Body of the Tao. The single most common challenge I find in people, whether they are on a spiritual path or not, is lack of grounding.

 ——————

Grounding Needed to Deal with Rapid Changes

Lack of grounding adversely affects both physical, psychological, and spiritual health. This is especially critical at a time when the planet is quickening its vibration, part of our global re-birthing process. This quickening is flushing out Dark Side patterns – including our own –  into public awareness.

There is a great “psychic turmoil” happening in humanity – the constant shooting of innocent people, the great evil of war and its many side effects cannot be brushed away any longer.

To digest this kind of violent change requires deep grounding. If we are not grounded, we will fall into fear – the very goal of the manipulative and heartless forces behind the violence.

It is easier to control people when they are in fear. I include in the shadow side category the intelligence agencies that funded and created ISIS in order to purposefully destabilize the Middle East. The same has happened in many other countries.

Moral: America the Beautiful has its Ugly side. Healing is needed on personal and collective levels. Work on yourself first, that helps the collective.



How Breath & Bones Link to Blood Line Ancestors

Image

  It’s a common intuition that our bones are connected to our ancestors. In the Taoist view, the 12 organ and bowel spirits are more connected to our moment-to-moment changes of emotion, thought, and personality.

It is our breath and our bones that are seen as portals for our ancestors to express themselves within our body.

Taoists developed special methods to cultivate the Qi of the breath and the bones. When these are harmonized and awakened, we are able to shift ancestral issues from our deep subconscious into an open dialog.

In the Chinese view, ancestors are not really “dead”. They just don’t have a physical body any longer, and so are forced to seek completion through the bodies of the living. That puts a huge pressure on many people.

In my clinical experience, the majority of issues are ancestral in origin. So if we can get them into conscious dialog, that is HUGE.

I believe ancestral feelings of IN-completion are the major part of what we call our Shadow Side. This is the psychic baggage that was the price of our incarnation into a particular family line. This has nothing to do with past lives, with which it is often confused.


     What You Will LEARN in the 3 & 4 Workshop:

a. Prevent & heal many chronic diseases with bone breathing.

b. Gain new flexibility in your tendons & joints.

c.. Get Grounded – and Stay Grounded!

If you are looking at screens all day long, this is a lifesaver!

“False Fire” – electricity – is INFLAMING your body1

d. Prevent & Heal Osteoporosis and Arthritis.

e. Theory & Practice of dissolving ancestral issues

f. Open your lungs to higher efficiency.

Get Qi from iinternal breathing, not just from oxygen.

            What is INTERNAL BREATHING?

Internal Qi Breathing Qigong  is a powerful, simple method EVERYONE can use. Since we have to breathe all day long anyway, why not tap its power?

    There are thousands of breathing methods now available to us from many traditions around the world. The Taoists are the masters of breathing because of their deep understanding of Qi flow in the body.

    Taoists understand exactly how physical breathing relates to energetic or spiritual breathing. Its very different from yogic pranayama, which tries to CONTROL the breath and thus the mind (with counting, alternate nostril breathing, etc.).

    Taoist breathing methods are designed to FREE the breath to be its best and to be spontaneous in each moment.

    To achieve this we explore deeply the yin-yang pulsation of every breath, and the yuan Qi (Original Breath) hidden within our ordinary breathing and movement.

    The process is amazingly energizing and self-empowering. Your breath will never be the same!

——————–

                                 9 Major Workshop Benefits:

Opens up our ability to breathe – not just air, but Life Force. This radically improves our ability to “breathe in our experience of life”. It gives us the strength to keep on living and trust in the flow of Life.

2. Quickly recharges our body-mind in just four short minutes. Internal breathing practices can be done 24/7 anywhere – in bed, sitting in office, during qigong.

3. Simple standing postures detoxify blocked energies and stressed emotions. Key to letting go, even if your monkey mind still wants to hold on.

4. Mixes our spinal fire and chest water energies to activate a completely safe, grounded kundalini feeling of inner warmth in our belly. It does this by capturing the flow of “empty force” (kong jing) or Original Breath (yuan Qi) in deep energy channels & centers that are usually unconscious. They and cannot be touched by acupuncture or ordinary external qigong breathing methods (waidan gong).

5. Makes your body strong. Prevent & heal asthma and other respiratory conditions, plus many other chronic illness conditions made worse by poor breathing. 3500 scientific studies prove Qigong’s power to prevent & heal chronic illness.

6. Easy fast method to build grounding essential for energy healers, meditators, martial artists, dancers, yogis – everyone needs more grounding for comfortable flow of energy and to keep their sanity!

7. Get in touch with your power to breathe internally by relaxing into the pause between breaths. You literally reduce need for physical oxygen yet at the same time increase energy flow!

8. Creates a profound spiritual feeling of inner balance and harmony. How? Tao Mystical Power of Three cosmology is embodied in a simple qigong breathing form.

    It unites the Heaven, Earth, & Human Sage within us; 3 energy centers of body, 3 Treasures of Essence, Breath, & Spirit (jing, qi, shen), and the 3 phases of Qi (yin, yang, yuan).

9. Put a Tiger in your meditation tank! Lay a solid foundation for deeper levels of meditation (neigong) & alchemy inner elixir cultivation (neidan).

    Even advanced practitioners of other qigong breathing systems will find it stimulating and filled with new insights.
