A key concept for Taoists is the sense of flow permeating through life, and how to be led by its inspiration. This book reveals how to experience flow, and explains how our thoughts can constrain that power and weaken its possibilities. To live life through its natural force is to live a fulfilled life.
Through 80-verses of mystical inspiration, the reader will come to know what the inner cauldron is and how it refers alchemically to a Taoist sense of immortality. This book illuminates the existence of quiet wisdom that draws no attention to itself but may lead the practitioner to a Truth that is our natural inheritance and one known to the ancient Sages of Taoism.
“Natural Flow: Experiencing Tao” is a Taoist book that guides us to the realization that we are already the Source we seek, and through sensitivity to its stream of energy we begin to reveal the magic of its creation at work in our life.
Te of Tao: Embracing Life's Quiet Power explores the profound concept of "Te," representing the power, force, or virtue of the Tao, through 107 enlightening verses. This book reveals the often-overlooked universal force that simplifies our lives when we align with it. Instead, we frequently complicate life by following self-interested impulses, disrupting the Tao's natural flow.
This book shows how suffering stems from a misunderstanding of our true nature and how our healing approaches are often misaligned. It discusses the unity of Yin and Yang, illustrating that balance is natural and doesn't require effort. The enlightened sage experiences calm power, allowing actions to be effortless and creativity to flow in harmony with the universe. It clarifies how Zuowang (egoless meditation) has little to do with sitting and can be used practically during every moment of our day.
