Most people think of the Tao Te Ching as a book on philosophy or a treatise on leadership. Yet there is a little-known treasure hidden within the familiar passages of Lao Tzu’s work: step-by-step practical guidance for the spiritual journey. With Practicing the Tao Te Ching, renowned teacher Solala Towler reveals a new facet to this spiritual classic, offering accessible instructions paired with each of the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching. "Tao is a way of deep reflection and learning from nature, considered the highest teacher," writes Towler. "It teaches us to follow the energy flows within the heavens, the earth, and our own bodies." With lucid instruction and deep insight, he guides you through meditations, movement and breathing practices, subtle energy exercises, and inner reflections—all to help you to embody Taoist wisdom in every aspect of your life.

In Follow Your Tao, the teachings of Taoism and the healing system of TCM describe the interconnection between your health and everything you consume physically, mentally and spiritually. Through a clear pathway that links key emotions and feelings to certain organs - known as wu shen or the five spirits, the book describes the five major organ groups or 'spirits' of the body, how to identify when they are out of balance and ways to rebalance them. A chapter is devoted to each 'spirit', which begins with a narrative story that serves as a metaphor or touchstone for the subject. A list of the organs' associations and attributes as well as a description of the organ's physical, emotional and spiritual properties and functions follows. Each chapter ends with a problems and solutions section, with step-by-step 'soul work' exercises to bring you back into balance.

Our body has the amazing ability to repel disease and constantly renew and repair itself if we are living in a state of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual equilibrium. However, the challenge arises for us in that everything we eat, say, think, do, see, and feel affects our state of equilibrium. In addition, those of us who live in the “more advanced” cultures of the world’s industrialized nations are almost totally disconnected from nature, from our natural rhythms and from our instinctual awareness. With the information in this book you will be able to nurture your spiritual connection in order to receive wisdom and healing from your innermost core of being, which is immune to aging and sickness. This connection allows us to make the gradual transition to a lifestyle that promotes radiant health and slows down and begins to reverse our biological clock, and also helps us attain a more profound inner peace, optimism, and true happiness.

Divided into four sections, it follows the Taoist Path: The Tao, Long Life, Eternal Vision, and Immortality.

The Taoist Experience is unique in that it presents the whole of Taoist tradition in the very words of its active practitioners. It conveys not only a sense of the depth of the Taoist religious experience but also of the underlying unity of the various schools and strands.

Taoist techniques that can quiet your mind so you can discover your true self in the wisdom of the heart • Teaches that the Tao is the flow of nature, the effortless middle path of self-discovery • Shows how to quiet the monkey mind (the ego) and listen within for your inner voice • Fosters a connection to the Tao through diet, exercise, livelihood, and sexuality Taoists say that we must learn to observe with the mind and think with the heart. In the West we get caught up in the “monkey mind” of our ego. We think we can control our individual destinies by swimming upstream against the current, but we are mistaken. When we learn to quiet the monkey mind with meditation practices, we are able to go beyond the linear thinking of the upper brain and connect to the multidimensional thinking of supreme consciousness in the heart center. In Living in the Tao, Master Mantak Chia and William Wei present techniques to help us learn to move beyond the limits of time and space to connect with the universal truth within--without striving. Living in the Tao is effortless. Just as a small seed grows into a mighty tree with a little water and a little sunshine every day, a few minutes of Taoist practice each day can transform your life into one of peace and joy.
