Tao of Letting Go


Book Description

What is known from the Tao Te Ching, I Ching, and other Taoist texts is almost entirely literary. When Bruce Frantzis studied these texts with his main teacher, Grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh, he was taught their practical application: "This is what they say; this is what they mean; this is how to do them." In the TAO of Letting Go, Frantzis offers a bridge to this pragmatic approach for living a spiritual life. Spirituality is not just an aspiration for which people strive, he says, but a genuine, accomplishable reality. Frantzis shows how to expend maximum effort and yet not use force--the gentle way of the Water method--to enrich personal health and energy systems. The Water tradition continues the work of releasing inner conflicts, a process that begins with the Dissolving Method, passed down by Lao Tse in the Tao Te Ching over 2,500 years ago. The author shows how to completely let go of the blockages that bind and prevent the seeker from reaching full spiritual potential. Short, direct chapters and exercises cover such topics as breathing and awareness; Taoist meditation; fog and depression; modern anxiety; love and compassion; and more.




The Tao of Allowing


Book Description

The Law of Attraction is undoubtedly the most exciting and misunderstood idea to come about in a long, long time. Exciting because the promise of wealth, abundance and prosperity is huge. Misunderstood because it isn't being grasped in its entirety. The term Law of Attraction is a recent phrase for something that has been around for thousands of years. Great teachers like Abraham-Hicks, Steve Pavlina, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Christy Whitman, Margaret Lynch, the movie "The Secret," "What the Bleep, artfully describe this law and have made it a household word. But one thing remains missing. And what is that? A practice that enables the student to embody this law as a Way of Life and not just a nice idea. And what is that practice? Allowing. According GP Walsh, spiritual teacher and radio personality, this Law is simply "the way things actually are." In other words, the Tao or nature itself. It is not a technique. It is a Way of Being! "A key piece of the manifestation puzzle that is often overlooked - and is addressed head-on in The Tao of Allowing - is that before we can successfully take that next step toward greater fulfillment, abundance and success, we must feel in the very core of our being and nervous system that it is safe to take that step. As long as we are operating in a state of fear - whether expressed as resistance, defensiveness, or what G calls the 'contrived, artificial behaviors' that we adapted early in life to ensure our continued acceptance in our social 'tribe' - all our efforts forward inevitably grind to a halt, every single time." - Christy Whitman: New York Times Bestselling Author So, more than just a passive, wait for it to happen attitude, The Tao of Allowing is a very active way of engaging with life. Instead of trying to force it to our will, we allow ourselves to flow with life. We ride the wave. We surf on the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction has promised a great deal. Things like: Effortless wealth, health and relationships (even weight loss) A stress free life More customer for your business The front parking space at Wal-Mart Whatever you want from the genie of the universe So how come the only people who seem to get all those results are the ones teaching everybody else how to do it? I thought this was a law? It IS a Law. Not magic. Like the Wright Brothers, who experimented for years before getting that first plane off the ground, you need to understand the Law. It is not an act of faith. It is an act of understanding. Once you understand the law, then, like the Wright Brothers, you get to build the airplane. Ancient Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, martial arts, acupuncture, understood how life actually moved and functioned. That is how they healed and did miraculous things. They called this natural flow The Tao. And the Tao is the center of "The Tao of Allowing" and its experiential approach to learning and mastering the law of Attraction. So don't stand in the ocean trying to push the waves back out to sea. Grab your surfboard and come surf the Tao of Allowing. ""Working with G and being exposed to his teachings, I started to listen to the voice inside. I started to listen to my body! What I got was a screaming and yearning for ME to come out. I took the leap and now I can see from the other side, what started with listening to that voice with the guidance of G, I am now 100% doing the work I love as a coach of women entrepreneurs on a mission (not interpreting). I accept challenges in my career like taking charge of a $2 million project, or teaching on stage in front of 100s of people. Only a few years ago I would have said no, I would have ignored the inner voice, I would have said, oh no, I can't do that.Here is the kicker...I am making way more money as I continue to say yes. " "I love G and I always love how he makes the concepts that are so hard to grasp easy for us mere humans to understand." Beth"

Laotzu's Tao and Wu Wei


Book Description

In this clarion translation of Laotzu's Tao Te Ching, first published in 1919, Goddard brings the complexity and depth of the ancient philosopher's poetry into the English language, his great love for the topic overcoming the necessary shortcomings of translation. There are three concepts that are essential to the Tao Te Ching-Tao, Te, and Wu Wei-that all have complex meanings that cannot be directly translated, but spiritual seekers and those with an interest in philosophy and religion will find Goddard's treatment of Laotzu lyrical and deeply meaningful. American writer DWIGHT GODDARD (1861-1939) studied at a monastery in Kyoto, Japan, for a year and was among the first Westerners to bring Zen Buddhism to the United States. His most famous book is The Buddhist Bible (1938).

The Tao of Rejuvenation


Book Description

Throughout history Taoists, Christians, the yogis of northern India, and others have learned that the secret of longevity and even bodily rejuvenation lies in unlocking the body's own healing "somas" (or higher chemistry). Traditionally, however, the principles and techniques behind their discoveries have been hidden, transmitted only from teacher to student. Fortunately, these esoteric secrets are but the ultimate expression of a time-tested body of traditional healing wisdom that has taken strong root in the Western world, where it has been clarified and amplified by a new generation of healers and spiritual practitioners. The Tao of Rejuvenation is an inspiring and very well-written guide to the underlying principles and basic practices essential to our ability to not only achieve longevity and bodily rejuvenation, but also to lead a vital, balanced, and happy life. Written in a clear, rational, and highly readable style, it is a book that speaks to all modern men and women ready and willing to assume responsibility for their own destiny. In The Tao of Rejuvenation author Angelo Druda explains how our health and well-being is based on a simple three-part process of purification, rebalancing, and rejuvenation. He makes specific recommendations for utilizing this process to transform our diet, our exercise regimen, even our sexuality, so that these become powerful sources of rejuvenative energy. Case studies and clear explanations make the practices easier and more engaging. Druda has worked professionally with medicinal herbs for many years, and he skillfully incorporates them in the process of bodily renewal. The Tao of Rejuvenation is a timely and authoritative guide that will be of great interest to complementary and alternative medicine professionals, those in need of radical healing and rejuvenation, and anyone interested in enhancing his or her own health and vitality.
