CNT Training is facilitated by Kris Deva North, Senior Teacher of Mantak Chia’s Universal Healing Tao and founder of the London Chi Nei Tsang Institute. In addition to facilitating training at the London Tao Centre, Kris has taught CNT to nurses and midwives including the University of Greenwich School of Midwifery, and the Zita West Clinic.

Taoist Grandmaster Mantak Chia is teaching in Brussels and Paris – just a quick hop by Eurostar – in April and Kris is hopping across the Channel to support his workshop on Tao and Shamanism on 3rd April. More

Amazon has acquired exclusive rights to Kris’s ebooks Taoist Medicine Wheel, Taoist 4-play, Finding Spirit, and Zen Tao Tan?ra. See them all in Amazon’s Taoist Bookstore, a rich resource for works on Taoist philosophy, healing, martial arts, women’s practices, meditation, shamanism and more, categorised by subject and author, Chia, Cleary, Kohn, North, Reed, Robinet, Wile, Wong et al.

Taoist Shaman has had a great write-up from New Dawn magazine, excerpt: “The Wheel of Healing chapter opens with a piece of profound wisdom and piercing insight about one of the shibboleths of contemporary medical …” More

“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.

Pre-view of Fusion

As spiritual practice, Healing Love is the beginning of the short path to enlightenment through ecstasy, and understanding pleasure as a gateway to bliss, on the path to ecstasy. Conserve and transform sexual energy to release immense, potentially explosive, internal power. Learn to channel it through the Small Heavenly Cycle as a safe foundation for awakening the Kundalini.

Circulate the generative forces from the genital organs to the higher energy centres to invigorate and rejuvenate all your vital functions, improve health, and slow depletion of your genetic energy-bank, or “Ancestral Qi.” Experience more satisfying relationships as a result of doing the practices at any level: physical, energetic, spiritual. Feeling more energy.

“I did the practices before an important job interview and felt so empowered and full of confidence I got the job at once.” Mrs R.M

“Teaching my partner the practices after I did this course on my own made such a big difference to our relationship!” Ms M L

“Now at last I realise what its all about! how can anyone expect to feel spiritual ecstasy if they have not experienced it physically? Thank you so much.” Miss CB

“I’d read books that seemed complicated and clinical. The weekend brought them to life.” Mr EN

“We met on a course here. It was so nice to meet like-minded people and now that we’re together, we really understand each other.” HW & CC

“I’ve had a lot of therapy as an adult, but the practices I learned here really help me cope with the effects of a difficult childhood, and to begin to enjoy my body.” SB

A safe environment with carefully held boundaries helps you understand the theory for your private practice at home. Practices can be equally well carried out alone (single cultivation) or with a partner – dual cultivation.

Longer, better loving: yes, you can become a more effective lover. This is the second step on the Journey, Step 2 of the Taoist Practice.

You can travel on your own, with a partner, or a like-minded friend.

Loose comfortable clothing is recommended for this workshop 26th & 27th November 2011

If someone were to offer you a magical secret that could bring you more into harmony with yourself and your environment, power to defend yourself, a sense of deep inner peace, and… all for the investment of a few minutes every day – how would you respond?

Tai Chi can be practised at any age, for health, to enhance our protective energy-field, to strengthen our physical and energetic immune system, to connect with higher and lower forces on the spiritual path, for self-defence, or simply to harmonise with our environment and alleviate the effects of stress.
In the double-helix spirals of Tai Chi we reunite the Yang and Yin forces of our creation, to ebb and flow throughout our meridian network, feeding the organs that sustain our life. We open and stimulate the meridians, the energy-flow channels, enabling the bio-electro-magnetic force, Qi or chi, to come on full charge as we do the slow graceful form.

Healers and Martial Artists use Tai Chi to improve external Qi-projection and internal rooting. Combined with Iron Shirt Chi Kung, DYNAMIC TAI CHI helps develop the rootedness to keep ourselves safe when practising kundalini or astral projection in the higher meditations.
Tai Chi comes to us as a gift from the past, a way to create our own tranquillity: “to keep our cool when all about us might be losing theirs.”
