Andrew Jan
Taoist Teacher

Andrew Jan is a Senior Instructor and Branch Leader for Internal Alchemy within the Universal Healing Tao system, and also serves as the Global Leader for the Internal Martial Arts division.

​

Over the last two decades, his work has increasingly focused on advanced inner alchemy, the Sealing of the Five Senses, ecstatic spirit flight, and the integration of Heaven and Earth within the human being. His teaching emphasises grounding, safety, gradual development, and the harmonious return of higher states into ordinary life.

​

Andrew is currently completing two major works on advanced Taoist practice: Ecstatic Flight and The Grand Completion. These books explore the development of internal Taoist alchemy, with meditations that explore heavenly states of mind and the return to stillness and unity.

​

Alongside his Taoist work, Andrew has had a long professional career in emergency medicine, acupuncture, and education. He holds postgraduate academic qualifications, including a Master’s thesis exploring Taoist and Christian mysticism, and a PhD examining the use of acupuncture within the Emergency Department setting. He currently holds an appointment as Adjunct Clinical Professor with the School of Medicine at the University of Notre Dame Australia.

​

While his medical career remains separate from his Taoist teaching activities, it has contributed to his emphasis on scholarship, diligence, groundedness, ethics, and participant safety within the internal arts.

​

Andrew has trained in Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Bagua Zhang, and Xing Yi Quan for many decades, and has taught internal martial arts both in Australia and internationally. He was the 1984 Full Contact All Styles Lightweight Champion, and in 2000 became Australian National Tai Chi Wushu Champion Over 40, placing first in Wu Style, Yang Style, and Weapons divisions.

​

He is also the co-author of several instructional works,with Mantak Chia on Tai Chi, with Tai Chi Fa Jin, Tai Chi  Wu Style, The Practice of Greater Kan and Li, and The Practice of Greatest Kan and Li. His present focus is increasingly directed toward meditation, internal alchemy, and advanced Taoist cultivation.
