Great Review of Taoist Shaman

Extract frrom New Dawn magazine’s review of Taoist Shaman:
The Wheel of Healing chapter opens with a piece of profound wisdom and piercing insight about one of the shibboleths of contemporary medical correctness:

“Modern medicine might describe shamanic healing as a placebo effect, healing by suggestion. Suggestion can come from within, say by positive thinking, belief or expectation, or from outside, by hypnosis, advertising, or ritual and ceremony. The shaman counts placebo as a healing resource.”
Interestingly, the final chapter Turning the Wheel of Love is an exquisite representation of clearly Taoist practices of gentle partnership and mutual discovery. While never explicitly sexual, it is a guided invitation to take a physical relationship to a level of measured discovery alien to the pace and style of most contemporary life.

Overall, the book shows Mantak Chia, and his co-author, Kris Deva North, further extending one of the most promising aspects of the contemporary world. When financial adventurism, technological aggression, corporate greed and political ineptness threatens the well-being of vast populations in all cultural traditions, the growing popularity and influence of authors like these, who seek to outline a common way forward that draws on the wisdom of diverse experiences, is an area of promise and hope.

Check out the new video: Tai Chi Fun with Mantak Chia’s Universal Healing Tao UK

Self defence the Tai Chi Way. The original Tai Chi form was based on fighting techniques and while we don’t encourage people to go round picking fights, we do find it amazingly useful to understand the origins of the movements of the form, bringing to life what we practise.

The form itself is well described in Grandmaster Mantak Chia’s book Tai Chi Chi Kung, or the Inner Structure of Tai Chi. The teaching emphasis in this video is about the martial applications. The spiritual, health, energy and healing benefits come from s minutes daily practice of the form which you can find in the Steel Body Tai Chi video.

If you are interested in learning more, take a look at our Tai Chi web page  where you can find details of our Universal Healing Tao UK’s weekly classes, plus the Tai Winter Intensive, and the Summer Retreat and Training Camp.
