Book SynopsisTan Tien Chi Kung is the art of cultivating and condensing chi in the lower abdomen--the tan tien--the fundamental power 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 the mind for the free and continuous movement of chi. Tan Tien Chi Kungcontains specific breathing and movement exercises that develop the power of the chi stored in the body to increase vitality, strengthen organs, and promote self-healing. Mantak Chia explains how these exercises also provide a safe and effective method for receiving earth energy, which allows the practitioner to achieve balance physically, mentally, and spiritually--all of which are essential for the more advanced practices of Iron Shirt Chi Kung and Cosmic Healing. It is our mind that directs and guides our chi, but if the mind and body are out of balance or under stress, the mind cannot perform this function. The tan tien actually contains a large quantity of neurotransmitters, making it a key source of body intelligence. It is for this reason the Taoists also referred to Tan Tien Chi Kung as Second Brain Chi Kung and created exercises that would allow practitioners to gain awareness of the tan tien’s function to restore the mind-body balance that is essential for spiritual growth and optimal well-being.Trade Review"...a joy to look at as well as read." * The Empty Vessel, Winter, 2005 *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsPutting Tan Tien Chi Kung into PracticeIntroduction1 • Chi and the Lower Tan Tien Chi Pressure Tan Tien Power The Lower Tan Tien and Second Brain Chi and Transformation2 • Unlimited Potentialities Our Bodies and the Body of the Universe The Chi Kung State and the Sense of Wonder Higher Cultivation Energy Transformation and the Lower Tan Tien3 • Smiling and Laughing Chi Kung Body Sensing The Inner Smile Smiling and Laughing Energy Practices4 • Squatting Chi Kung A Natural Posture Squatting and the Psoas Squatting Practices5 • Breathing, Dancing, and Bone Chi Kung Natural Breathing Abdominal Breathing Skin Breathing Inner and Outer Dancing Bone Marrow Nei Kung6 • Closing the Three Gates Anus-Body Connections7 • Empty Force and Perineum Power Building Pressure in the Lower Tan Tien Perineum Power Exercises Dragon and Tiger Breath Bladder Area Exercise Solar Plexus Area Exercise Bladder Area Exercise Exercise for the Sides of the Lower Tan Tien Exercise for the Sides of the Body Kidneys Exercise Door of Life Exercise Chest Exercise Total Tan Tien Breathing Exercise to Increase Chi Pressure and Vibration Working with a Partner Releasing Tension in the Chest Diaphragm8 • Tan Tien Chi Kung Animal Postures Tan Tien Chi Kung Warm-Up The Eleven Animal Postures Rabbit Crane Bear Swallow Dragon Eagle Monkey Elephant Rhinoceros Horse Bull Ending Exercise for Animal Postures9 • Chi Kung, Health, and Healing The Body’s Wisdom Subtle Wonders Chi Kung as Active Energy Meditation Self-Healing and Wholeness Consciousness and Relaxation Reactivation and Regeneration10 • Chi and the Tao The Lower Tan Tien and Chi Kung Wisdom Mind Chi Kung as Self-Actualization Surrender and the Chi Kung StateAbout the AuthorThe Universal Tao System and Training Center The Universal Tao System The Universal Tao Training CenterIndex

Book SynopsisMost Westerners believe that a daily physical exercise program helps slow the aging process. Yet those whose bodies appear most physically fit on the outside often enjoy only the same life span as the average nonathletic person. It is the internal organs and glands that nourish every function of the body, and it is the bone marrow that nourishes and rejuvenates the organs and glands through the production of blood. By focusing only on the muscles without cultivating the internal organs, bones, and blood, the Western fitness regimen can ultimately exhaust the internal system. In Bone Marrow Nei KungMaster Mantak Chia reveals the ancient mental and physical Taoist techniques used to “regrow” bone marrow, strengthen the bones, and rejuvenate the organs and glands. An advanced practice of Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Bone Marrow Nei Kung was developed as a way to attain the “steel body” coveted in the fields of Chinese medicine and martial arts. This method of absorbing energy into the bones revives the bone marrow and reverses the effects of aging through the techniques of bone breathing, bone compression, and sexual energy massage, which stimulates the hormonal production that helps prevent osteoporosis. Also included is extensive information on chi weight lifting and the practice of “hitting” to detoxify the body.Trade Review"This system of Taoist exercises will create an inner fitness in addition to the Western ideal of physical and muscular fitness. . . . Even if you are just interested in living longer and living healthier (and who isn't?), this system will fascinate you." * Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, Jan/Feb 2008 *Table of Contents Acknowledgments Putting Bone Marrow Nei Kung Into Practice Foreword: Chinese Secrets of Bone Power by Michael Winn Introduction: Self-Enhancement Through Taoist Practices 1 Understanding Bone Marrow Nei Kung 2 Healthy Bones: Bone Breathing and Bone Compression 3 Sexual Energy Massage 4 Hitting 5 Chi Weight Lifting 6 Developing Your Bone Marrow Nei Kung Practice Appendix 1: Supplementary Practices Appendix 2: Meridian Points About the Author The Universal Tao System and Training Center Index

Book SynopsisThe Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li practice combines the compassion of the heart energies (yang/fire) with sexual energies originating in the kidneys (yin/water) to form and feed the soul or energy body. Practice of the Chinese formula, Siaow Kan Li, (yin and yang mixed) uses darkness technology to literally "steam" the sexual energy (jing) into life-force energy (chi) by reversing the location of yin and yang power. This inversion places the heat of the bodily fire from the heart centre beneath the coolness of the bodily water of the sexual energy of the perineum, thereby activating the liberation of transformed sexual energy.Darkness technology has been a key element of Taoist practice and of all Inner Alchemy traditions throughout the ages. A total darkness environment stimulates the pineal gland to release DMT into the brain. The darkness actualises successively higher states of consciousness, correlating with the accumulation of psychedelic chemicals in the brain. In the darkness, mind and soul begin to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. Death is no longer to be feared because life beyond the physical body is known through direct experience.The birth of the soul is not a metaphor. It is an actual process of converting energy into a subtle body. Developing the soul body is the preparation for the growth of the immortal spirit body in the practice of the Greater Enlightenment of Kan and Li.

Book SynopsisThousands of years ago Taoist masters discovered that a healthy organ vibrates at a particular frequency. They found six sounds with the correct frequencies to keep each organ in optimal condition. To accompany these Six Healing Sounds, six postures were developed to activate the acupuncture meridians, or energy channels, of the corresponding organs. In The Six Healing SoundsMaster Mantak Chia explains how the pressures of modern life can cause excess heat to become trapped around the organs, causing energy blockages and sickness. He shows readers how the vibrations of the Six Healing Sounds and their accompanying postures redistribute this excess heat to the cooler regions of the body, thereby stimulating and balancing chi energy and restoring the vital organs. Regular practice of the Six Healing Sounds promotes optimal health for the organs, increased sexual pleasure, emotional balance, and the prevention of illness.Trade Review"Grand Master Mantak Chia brings together The Six Healing Sounds for those who are beginning training in the Taoist tradition. This informative book includes detailed drawings of the different poses, plus a calming CD of the practices of balancing chi." * Vicki Burr, New Connexion, May/June 2010 *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Putting the Six Healing Sounds into Practice 1 • What Is the Universal Tao? 2 • The Six Healing Sounds 3 • Taoist Wisdom for Daily Life 4 • Supplementary Practices: Standing Healing Sounds About the Author The Universal Tao System and Training Center Index

Book SynopsisFusion of the Five Elements is the necessary first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy, in which one learns to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within the body. It is a series of meditations designed to locate and dissolve negative energies trapped inside the body by making a connection between the five outer senses (experienced through the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue) and the five major negative emotions (anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear). When the body is cleared of negative energy, universal chi energy flows freely and productively, nourishing both body and soul. The practice is divided into two parts. The first works with controlling the forces of the five elements on the five major organs of the body by learning the elements’ effects upon each other and how to balance and utilize these energies properly. The advanced Fusion exercises then show how to channel the greater energies of the stars and planets to strengthen internal weaknesses and crystallize positive energy. By “fusing” all the different kinds of energy together, a harmonious whole is created--the key to manifesting an Immortal existence.Trade Review"The delightful surprise in Fusion of the Five Elements is the way the range of feelings from each of the major organs (liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen) is described, along with marvelous tables and illustrations that accompany the energy work meditations." * RealityShifters.com *Table of Contents Acknowledgments Putting the Fusion of the Five Elements into Practice Introduction: The Foundation for Transformation 1 • Formula 1: Forming the Four Pakuas, Blending Energy, and Forming the Pearl at the Center of Control 2 • Formula 2: Balancing the Organ Energy to Experience Inner Peace and Harmony 3 • Formula 3: Connecting the Senses with the Organs, Controlling the Senses, Sealing the Openings, Overcoming Temptations 4 • Formula 4: Transforming the Negative Emotions of Each Organ into Useful Energy 5 • Formula 5: Creating the Pearl that Forms the Energy Body 6 • Formula 6: Forming the Virgin Children and Their Animal Offspring to Connect to the Universal, Cosmic Particle, and Earth Forces 7 • Formula 7: Calling Forth the Earth Force to Empower and Protect8 • Formula 8: Calling Forth the Planets’ and Stars’ Forces to Empower and Protect 9 • Formula 9: Transferring Consciousness to the Energy Body in this Life Brings Immortality10 • Summary: The Fusion I Practice About the Author The Universal Tao System and Training CenterIndex

Book SynopsisIn 1983, Mantak Chia introduced the "Microcosmic Orbit" to the West. Prior to that time, most of the Eastern energy practices transmitted to the West were incomplete, dealing only with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life-force energy up the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit showed practitioners how to establish the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop. Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness. HEALING LIGHT OF THE TAO presents the more advanced methods of chi cultivation in the Microcosmic Orbit, offering a full understanding of Taoist spiritual theory through its comprehensive overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system. The book, also, includes more advanced meditation methods for absorbing the higher frequencies of Earth Force, Cosmic Force and Universal Force (Heavenly chi) into the basic orbit. It establishes a spiritual science that not only emphasises practical benefits to health, sexual vitality and emotional balance, but, also, shows how changes made in the energy body can lead to physical rejuvenation that the Taoists called immortality.

Book SynopsisAfter mastering the Inner Alchemy practices of Lesser Kan and Li and Greater Kan and Li, the advanced student is now ready for the refinement of the soul and spirit made possible through the practice of the Greatest Kan and Li. With full-color illustrated instructions, Master Mantak Chia and Andrew Jan explain how to establish the cauldron at the Heart Center to collect cosmic light, activate the Cranial and Sacral Pumps, and align the Three Triangle Forces. They detail how merging energy at the Heart Center then leads to the birth of the immortal spirit body, uniting you with the Tao and allowing you to draw limitless energy and power from the Cosmos. The authors explain the proper Pi Gu diet and herbs to use in conjunction with Kan and Li practice and provide warm-up exercises, such as meditations to expel the three Worms, or “Death Bringers,” that can imbalance the three Tan Tiens, leading to misdirection in your sexual, material, and spiritual goals. Revealing the ancient path of Inner Alchemy used for millennia by Taoist masters to create the “Pill of Immortality,” the authors show that the unitive state of oneness with the Tao made possible through Kan and Li practice represents true immortality by allowing past and future, Heaven and Earth, to become one.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Putting the Greatest Kan and Li Meditation into Practice 1 Taoist History Related to the Greatest Kan and Li Meditation 2 Why Practice the Greatest Kan and Li Meditation? 3 Principles of the Greatest Kan and Li Meditation 4 Warm-Ups for Self-Practice 5 The Greatest Kan and Li Formulas 6 Supplemental Practices 7 Diet for the Greatest Kan and Li Practice 8 Home Practice: Embryo to Full Gestation Appendix: Major Classic Texts Pertaining to Kan and Li Glossary Notes Bibliography About the Authors The Universal Healing Tao System and Training Center Index

Book SynopsisFollowing the flow of chi energy, rather than directing it as in traditional Tai Chi, Wu-Style Tai Chi focuses on internal development, seeking to conserve chi energy and gather jin power from the Earth through the tan tien. Centered on a “small frame” stance--that is, feet closer together and arms closer to the body--and a slower progression of movements in solo practice, Wu Style offers a gentle Tai Chi form for beginners and, when practiced with a partner, a grounding introduction to martial arts boxing and Fa Jin (the discharge of energy for self-defense). The more functional stance, smaller movements, and conservation of internal energy make Wu-Style Tai Chi ideal for older practitioners as well as those with health disabilities. Condensing the 37 movements of Wu Style into 8 core forms, Master Mantak Chia and Andrew Jan illustrate how to build a personal short-form Wu-Style Tai Chi practice. They explain how Wu-Style Tai Chi removes energetic blockages and helps to elongate the tendons, reducing stiffness and allowing the limbs to return to their natural length and full range of motion. Regular practice of Wu Style relieves back pain as well as reducing abdominal fat, the biggest hindrance to longevity. Exploring the martial arts applications of Wu Style, the authors trace its history beginning with founder Wu Chuan-Yu (1834-1902) as well as explain how to apply Wu Style to “Push Hands” (Tui Shou) and Fa Jin. Through mastering the short-form Wu Style detailed in this book, Tai Chi practitioners harness a broad range of health benefits as well as build a solid foundation for learning the complete long-form Wu Style.Trade Review“Through mastering the short-form Wu Style detailed in this book, Tai Chi practitioners harness a broad range of health benefits as well as build a solid foundation for learning the complete long-form Wu Style.” * Branches of Light, June 2013 *Table of Contents Acknowledgments Putting Wu Style Tai Chi into Practice 1 History of the Wu Style 2 Why Practice Wu Style Tai Chi Chi Kung? 3 Wu Style Principles 4 Wu Style Warm-Ups 5 The Tai Chi Chi Kung Wu Style Form 6 Summary of the Complete Wu Style Form 7 Martial Applications of the Wu Style Form 8 The Wu Style Tai Chi Boxing System 9 Home Practice Glossary Notes Bibliography About the Authors The Universal Healing Tao System and Training Center Index

Book SynopsisWith your first breath of life, you take in the energy pattern radiated by the sun, moon, and stars at that moment in time and space. This internal energy pattern underlies your persona--your behavioral patterns, personality traits, and life’s path. Understanding these underlying patterns enables you to balance and transform your negative traits and highlight and develop your innate talents. Blending Eastern and Western astrological methods, Master Mantak Chia and William Wei explain how to identify the five key patterns of your internal energy persona based on the year, month, and day of your birth. Including charts to discover your Chinese animal year, your Western zodiac sun sign, your moon sign, and your birth destiny card, they explore how each of these astrological profiles interact to build your unique persona and provide profoundly accurate descriptions for each year and sun sign combination, each sun and moon sign combination, and each birth card. Each description also includes career recommendations to best utilize your innate gifts and relationship advice on which animals, sign combinations, and birth cards to seek out and which to avoid. Not only useful for personal insight and self-development, this new astrological approach can also be used to understand the underlying energetic personality patterns of your lovers, friends, relatives, and colleagues.Trade Review“This might seem like an odd topic for these two Taoist superstars to invest their time in, but there is much esoteric information provided along with the day–to–day aspects. The premise behind the book is that the better we understand our birth ‘imprint’ the easier it will be to develop into the spiritual being we are meant to be. Whether your goals are lofty or mundane, there is plenty in the book to keep your interest.

Book SynopsisAn illustrated guide to combining the new healing modality of microcurrent therapy with Chi Nei Tsang energy massage Each cell of the body is animated by a highly organized and intelligent bioenergy, or bioelectricity. When cells are damaged, they become electrically imbalanced. Recently it has been discovered that microcurrent therapy--applying low-amperage electrical currents to the body--harmonizes the cells, returns them to a normal state of cellular activity, and boosts the body’s natural self-healing abilities. Combining this innovative new modality with ancient Taoist healing methods, Mantak Chia and Aisha Sieburth detail how to integrate microcurrent therapy with Chi Nei Tsang energy massage for pain relief, self-healing, and rejuvenation. The authors explain how microcurrent has a regenerative effect on the nervous system, helping to increase energy levels, promote circulation of blood and lymph, relieve acute or chronic pain, restore pH balance of the blood, balance hormone function, and improve the immune system. With illustrated, step-by-step instructions, the authors explain how to use microcurrent therapy during massage and describe the basic techniques of CNT massage. They also show how CNT microcurrent therapy is beneficial for general physical health and for a host of specific ailments, such as nerve pain, arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, shingles, headaches, slow-healing wounds, and tendon and ligament pain.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Putting Chi Nei Tsang and Microcurrent Therapy into Practice Introduction: Chi Nei Tsang and Microcurrent Healing Technique 1 The Nervous System 2 Setup and Use of the Microcurrent Generator 3 Massaging the Spine and the Back of the Body 4 Massaging the Front of the Body--Chest, Abdomen, and Legs 5 Massaging the Neck, Head, Shoulders, and Arms 6 Taoist Self-Healing with CNT Microcurrent Appendix: Chi Nei Tsang and Microcurrent Case Studies Bibliography About the Authors The Universal Healing Tao System and Training Center Index

Book SynopsisBlood and chi often flow side by side throughout the body, the blood acting as the vehicle for our vital energy. Areas of slow or congested circulation lead to blockages in the flow of vital energy and toxin accumulation in the body. The practice of Life Pulse Massage allows these blockages to be cleared, revitalizing cardiovascular function, detoxifying the organs, and restoring the flow of blood and chi throughout the body. In this fully illustrated guide to Life Pulse Massage, Master Mantak Chia details abdominal massage practices to open restricted blood vessels, direct blood flow to specific areas for healing, release arterial tension to rebalance high or low blood pressure, and detoxify individual organs and body systems such as the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and colon. He shows how to clear and activate the master pulses of the navel and aorta and synchronize these master pulses with the 52 pulses of the whole body for optimum circulation and energy balance. He explains the ancient art of reading pulses to diagnose organ health as well as how to recognize internal health states through the unique positions and shapes of the navel. Detailing specific Life Pulse Massage treatments for many common ailments such as lower back pain, sciatica, asthma, headaches, and reproductive issues, Master Chia shows how liberating the flow of blood and chi can prevent illness before it takes hold, revitalize the organs, and set the stage for optimum health.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Putting Life Pulse Massage into Practice Introduction 1 The Cosmic Pulse of the Universe Origin of the Pulse Stars 2 The Circulatory System 3 Life Pulse Massage Training Exercises for Preliminary Practice 4 Pumping the Pulse 5 Getting Started With Life Pulse Massage Life Pulse Massage Procedure Part 1 6 Activating the Master Pulses Life Pulse Massage Procedure Part 2 7 Harmonizing the Organ Pulses Life Pulse Massage Procedure Part 3 8 Harmonizing the Peripheral Pulses Life Pulse Massage Procedure Part 4 9 Activating and Balancing the Pulses on the Back Life Pulse Massage Procedure Part 5 Appendix 1.

Book SynopsisIn this guide to the healing practices of the Eight Immortals, Master Mantak Chia and Johnathon Dao share the legends of each Immortal teacher and detail the many ways to apply their wisdom through nutrition, exercises, supplements, detoxification methods, spiritual practices, and energy work. They explain how the first Immortal, born during the 8th century AD, is associated with oxygen, considered in the Taoist healing perspective as the body’s primary nutrient. They discuss how oxygen deficiency is the main culprit in cancer and virus and provide a number of oxygen therapies including the use of hydrogen peroxide and deep breathing to stimulate the metabolism and immune system.

Book SynopsisThe most powerful reflex points on the body are on the sexual organs. While the practice of reflexology is normally associated with massage of the feet, in Sexual ReflexologyMantak Chia gives applications for using the sexual reflex points in lovemaking, transforming sexual intercourse into a form of ecstatic acupressure. By combining the classic Taoist sexual texts with modern reflexology theory, the author provides a unique opportunity for couples to practice sexual intimacy as an act of healing. Mantak Chia shows how to evaluate a person''s sexual energy potential as well as how the size and shape of the sexual organs determine a couple''s compatibility. In addition to the specific ecstatic acupressure exercise instructions, he provides thoughtful commentary on ancient Taoist practices that reveal how we can all use our sexual essence to create healthy and loving relationships.Trade Review"Explicit illustrations, insightful text and titillating techniques from 14th-century Chinese texts bring innovative fitness possibilities into the bedchamber." * Nexus, March/April 2004 *"With the high incidence of perversion, abuse, and exploitation in our time, it is refreshing to see sexuality being celebrated and brought forward as a healing element." * Claus Sproll, Liliopoh the spirit in life, Issue 37 Vol. 9, Fall 2004 *"[Chia] provides a unique opportunity for couples to practice sexual intimacy as an act of healing." * Branches of Light, Spring-Summer-Fall 2005 *"Mantak Chia and William U.
