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.

Mantak Chia’s Healing Love in the Tao – Supreme Sexual Alchemy

MORE ENERGY, MORE LOVE
Transform and circulate energy through the Small Heavenly Cycle to prevent the drain of your life-force by excessive ejaculation or menstruation. (Women practitioners have experienced shorter, less painful periods with lighter flow.) Both men and women report increased vigour, improved stamina and enhanced sensation through the “whole body orgasm.” In other words, longer, deeper loving.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
Tantric traditions and Taoist Tantra
Review and update of Step 1: Inner Smile, Healing Sounds, Chi Kung warm-ups
Special Self Massage Exercises to increase blood-flow to the vital organs and maintain sexual health
Completion of the Microcosmic (click) Orbit
including
Warming the Stove
Connecting the Energy Centres
Circulating the love-energy
Breath of Life; breathing chi into the sources of Life, the ovaries and testicles
Breath of Love: how to harmonise partnership breathing
Breath of Power: Compression
Opening the Gates: Lake of Yin, Lake of Yang, Fountain and Waterfall
Upward Draw and Big Draw
Cultivating the Energy of Love: opening the gate to bliss on the path to ecstasy

Video demonstration: Yab Yum/Maithuna

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

Mantak Chia System Tai Chi Winter Intensive

Get Fit, Get Sharp, Get Flexible with DYNAMIC TAI CHI: Tough Work-out, Dynamic Chi Kung, Improve flexibility and learn effective self-defence for Men, Women. Beginner to Advanced. Form, Structures, Applications, Push-hands, Sticky- and Tricky- hands.

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.”
