​

Inner Smile

Learn how to smile on the inside. In this practice you will smile and relax inwardly to your body and organs. Surprisingly one of the most powerful healing and energy producing techniques.

​

Six Healing Sounds

These practices identify negative emotions in each organ and transforms them into positive ones. eg cruelty into love ( heart), anger into kindness ( liver). It involves connecting with the unpleasant feeling and breathing it out of the organ concerned. Negative emotions can hurt us - so this is a potential way to transform stress and negativity into a positive framework.

​

Microcosmic Orbit

One of the most well known basic Taoist practices. In this meditation you will learn to circulate energy around the microcosmic orbit (Governing and Functional channels ). Opening these 2 channels has an effect on all meridians in the body and loosens the spine helping relieve tension and pain.

​

Healing Love

Learn the preliminary energetic practices and theory of generating pleasant sexual energy in the body by the practices of testicular, ovarian and breast massage. Note there is no contact between participants and all students remain fully dressed. Teaching sexual practices is difficult as we are to accommodate many taboos of our society. However I believe we negotiate this area in a very controlled, respectful and professional manner.​​

Fusion of the 5 Elements

This practice involves the identification of the five elemental forces. These are fused in the centre of the body to create a stone or pearl (similar to the philosophers stone in Western alchemy). This alchemical process converts base energies into virtuous ones. Aspects of Fusion 1 include fusion of negative emotions, the 5 elements, and the senses. The pearl is be sent out of the body to form the energy or spiritual body. This is the vehicle for higher spiritual work.

Lesser Kan and Li (小坎离)

In this meditation series the cauldron is sited in the lower tan Tien.  It is aimed at clearing blockages in the hollow and solid organs and their meridians to dissolve the body and transcend the self.

​

Greater Kan and Li (大坎离)

Here we work with the solar plexus coupling, learning to leave the physical body with consciousness and spirit, and expanding your mind to encompass the vastness of the solar system.

​

Greatest Kan and Li (最大坎离)

Here we delve into the next highest level of Taoist practice, where the mind can expand to the limits of the observable universe through the heart cauldron. Connect to the constellations, leading to an experience of loving and connecting with everything Oneness (皇极/Huang Ji)

 

Sealing of The V Senses

In this meditation series we develop cauldrons in the third eye, tip of the nose and the centre of the brain. This work helps the adept dissolve the body further and develop skills into abandoning the senses altogether. This involves another step forward to embracing and experiencing the Nothingness (无极/Wu Ji).

 

Ecstatic Spirit Flight

Entering the Congress of Heaven and Earth, here the practitioner transcends the sealing of the five senses and enters the Congress of Heaven and Earth through the awakening and unification of the Nine Cauldrons. Spirit flight begins—not as a metaphor, but as a lived energetic transformation. The body-mind dissolves and rides the flame of Li, while Kan becomes the sky-road of heaven. The adept becomes a citizen of the cosmic order, preparing to merge Heaven and Earth within their own being.

 

The Grand Completion

The Reunion of Heaven and Humanity marks the consummation of the Taoist journey—the blossoming of the path into pure silence. The adept, having mastered the Nine Cauldrons and been satiated by journeys through ecstatic flight, now surrenders wholly into the ineffable: into Wu Ji, the Supreme Nothingness (无极/Wu Ji). The fire of spirit, once used for ascent, now cools into stillness. Rather than flying outwards, the adept begins to dissolve inward, where light and darkness embrace in the primordial womb of all origins. This is not death, but the Grand Completion—the return to the Source.
