Taoist inner alchemy practices are aimed at cultivating and refining one's internal energy to attain spiritual transformation and immortality. These practices involve working with the Three Treasures: Jing (essence), Qi (vital energy), and Shen (spirit).
Before we move on to the Elemental review, as many know I practice Taoist Tantra when solo and not with a partner or in years of celibacy. My goal be the crystalization of the energy body and so my personal practice is very strict & of many years . When I say strict, I mainly say it that way because I do live the practices I pass on. My day is very much like "monk life" I suppose and I do rise before the sun to give gratitude,to breathe, to meditate to review the night's dreams or to address any complication due to lupus that I may have to work on/heal during the day. I do nei kung, Chi exercises and sound healing as in Chanting and much more. Some people may not know exactly what taoist teachings are, which is a ok, and so lets just review/mini intro a little bit on that.
Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an ancient Chinese philosophy and spiritual tradition that originated around the 4th century BCE. It is based on the teachings of the Tao Te Ching, attributed to the sage Laozi, as well as other Taoist texts. Taoism encompasses a wide range of beliefs, practices, and perspectives that focus on living in harmony with the Tao (Dao), which can be understood as the underlying principle or way of the universe. Key concepts and principles of Taoism include: 1. The Tao: The central concept in Taoism is the Tao, which can be translated as "the Way" or "the Path." The Tao is considered the ultimate reality that underlies and permeates all things. It is the natural order of the universe, beyond conceptual understanding, and embodies the principles of balance, harmony, and spontaneity. 2. Wu Wei: Wu Wei is often translated as "non-action" or "effortless action." It refers to a state of being in which one aligns with the natural flow of the Tao and acts in accordance with it. It involves letting go of excessive striving, allowing things to unfold naturally, and cultivating a sense of ease and spontaneity in one's actions. 3. Yin and Yang: Taoism recognizes the interplay and interdependence of opposing forces known as Yin and Yang. Yin represents qualities such as darkness, passivity, and femininity, while Yang represents qualities like light, activity, and masculinity. The harmony and balance between Yin and Yang are seen as essential for overall well-being and the functioning of the universe. 4. Nature and Harmony: Taoism places great emphasis on living in harmony with nature. Nature is seen as a source of wisdom and inspiration, and observing its patterns and cycles can provide guidance for human behavior and spiritual cultivation. Taoist practices often involve spending time in natural environments, such as mountains and forests, to connect with the rhythms of nature. 5. Inner Alchemy: Taoism offers various practices for inner transformation and spiritual cultivation. These practices, collectively known as "Inner Alchemy," aim to refine and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, cultivating the vital energy (Qi) and achieving a state of balance, longevity, and spiritual awakening. Taoism has had a profound influence on Chinese culture, including art, literature, medicine, and martial arts. It encompasses both philosophical and religious aspects, with different branches and schools of thought emphasizing different aspects of Taoist teachings. Overall, Taoism encourages individuals to live in harmony with the natural order of things, seek balance and simplicity, and cultivate a deep understanding of the interplay between the self and the universe.
What is Taoist Tantra?
Taoist Tantra refers to a branch of Taoism that incorporates Tantric practices and principles. Tantra, originally developed in ancient India, is a spiritual tradition that aims to integrate the physical, energetic, and spiritual aspects of one's being to achieve enlightenment or spiritual liberation.
In the context of Taoism, Taoist Tantra combines Taoist philosophy and practices with Tantric techniques, creating a unique approach to spiritual growth and self-realization. While Tantra is often associated with sexual practices, it encompasses a broader range of methods for expanding consciousness and connecting with the divine.
Some key aspects of Taoist Tantra include:
1. Cultivation of Vital Energy (Qi): Taoist Tantra emphasizes the cultivation and circulation of vital energy, known as Qi or Chi. Through various techniques such as breathwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong, practitioners seek to harness and refine their Qi, aiming to balance and harmonize its flow throughout the body and energy channels.
2. Inner Alchemy: Taoist Tantra incorporates inner alchemy practices, also known as Neidan, which involve the transformation and refinement of one's internal energies. These practices aim to transmute physical, emotional, and sexual energies into spiritual essence, ultimately leading to spiritual awakening and immortality.
3. Sexual Practices: Taoist Tantra acknowledges the powerful energy and potential for transformation within sexual energy. It includes practices such as Taoist Sexual Alchemy, where sexual energy is consciously cultivated, harmonized, and directed for spiritual purposes. These practices involve the union of masculine and feminine energies within oneself and with a partner.
4. Meditation and Visualization: Taoist Tantra incorporates various forms of meditation and visualization techniques. These practices involve focusing the mind, accessing altered states of consciousness, and connecting with higher realms of existence. Visualization is used to awaken and balance energetic centers in the body, known as the "dantians."
5. Embracing Yin and Yang: Taoist Tantra recognizes the interplay of Yin and Yang energies, the complementary and opposing forces that exist within all aspects of life. Embracing and harmonizing these energies is seen as essential for spiritual growth and the attainment of balance and wholeness.
The goal of Taoist Tantra is to attain unity with the Tao, the underlying principle of the universe. It aims to cultivate spiritual awareness, personal transformation, and an intimate connection with the divine through the integration of body, mind, and spirit. Taoist Tantra provides a path for individuals to explore their inner nature, awaken their potential, and deepen their connection with the divine source of all existence.
In our Twitter Space we went deeper into the Five elements in Taoist Teachings as we do in one on ones and here is just a mini intro or review.
In Taoist inner alchemy, the Five Elements, also known as the Five Phases or Wu Xing, play a significant role. These elements are fundamental energies or principles that are believed to be the building blocks of the universe and are associated with specific qualities, organs, emotions, and transformations. The Five Elements in Taoist philosophy are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Here's a brief overview of each element and its importance in Taoist inner alchemy: 1. Wood (Mu): Wood represents growth, expansion, and the energy of spring. It is associated with the liver and gallbladder organs, the color green, and the emotion of anger. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Wood element is connected to the cultivation of vitality and the ability to envision and plan for the future. 2. Fire (Huo): Fire symbolizes transformation, passion, and the energy of summer. It is associated with the heart and small intestine organs, the color red, and the emotion of joy. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Fire element represents the cultivation of spiritual transformation, emotional warmth, and the awakening of consciousness. 3. Earth (Tu): Earth represents stability, nourishment, and the energy of late summer. It is associated with the spleen and stomach organs, the color yellow, and the emotion of sympathy or overthinking. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Earth element is important for grounding and stabilizing one's energy, cultivating balance, and harmonizing the body and mind. 4. Metal (Jin): Metal symbolizes refinement, clarity, and the energy of autumn. It is associated with the lung and large intestine organs, the color white or silver, and the emotion of grief or letting go. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Metal element represents the refinement and purification of energy, letting go of attachments, and cultivating clarity and discernment. 5. Water (Shui): Water represents fluidity, adaptability, and the energy of winter. It is associated with the kidney and bladder organs, the color black or blue, and the emotion of fear. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Water element is associated with the cultivation of wisdom, flexibility, and the ability to go with the flow of life. In Taoist inner alchemy, the Five Elements are viewed as dynamic forces that interact and influence one another. The goal is to harmonize and balance these elements within oneself, allowing for the smooth flow of energy and the cultivation of optimal health, well-being, and spiritual growth. Practices such as the ones I pass on in video, one on one or Onlyfans such as: Qigong, meditation, visualization, and specific alchemical techniques are employed to work with the Five Elements and their transformative qualities.
The Taoist Orbit, like I said before is such a good foundation breath
Please do enjoy it and add to your own personal practice if you like.
The Microcosmic Orbit is a Taoist meditation practice that focuses on cultivating and circulating energy throughout the body. It is also known as the Small Heavenly Cycle or Small Circulation. The practice involves visualizations and breath control to guide the flow of energy along specific pathways, known as meridians or channels, in the body. Here's a basic overview of the Microcosmic Orbit practice: 1. Preparation: Find a comfortable seated position, either on a chair or cushion, with your spine upright. Relax your body and bring your awareness to your breath. 2. Lower Dantian: Begin by focusing your attention on the lower dantian, an energy center located about two inches below the navel. Imagine a warm, glowing energy ball in this area. As you inhale, imagine drawing in fresh energy from the universe into the lower dantian, and as you exhale, let go of any tension or stagnant energy. 3. Energy Circulation: From the lower dantian, visualize the energy rising up the midline of your body along the spine. As you inhale, imagine the energy ascending through the back of your body, reaching the crown of your head. 4. Descending Front Channel: As you exhale, guide the energy down the front of your body through the front channel, which runs down the centerline of the body. Visualize the energy flowing down from the crown of your head, through your face, neck, chest, abdomen, and all the way down to the perineum area. 5. Upward Back Channel: On the next inhale, direct the energy up from the perineum area, through the back channel, which runs parallel to the spine. Visualize the energy ascending from the perineum, up the spine, and reaching the crown of your head. 6. Continuous Flow: Continue the cycle of energy circulation, coordinating the breath with the movement of energy. As you practice, try to cultivate a smooth and continuous flow of energy along the Microcosmic Orbit. The Microcosmic Orbit helps to balance and harmonize the body's energy, promoting overall well-being and vitality. It is considered a foundational practice in Taoist energy cultivation. It's worth noting that receiving guidance from a qualified instructor can be beneficial to deepen your understanding and refine your practice. Remember to approach the practice with patience and allow yourself time to develop a connection with the energy flow in your body.
This technique is just like what i also simplify & share in our kundalini practice. We simply receive that prana, that good good energy upon the inhale and bring it down along the front of the spine then once at root chakra and that perineum area we take a U-turn with that breath and bring it up/Will it up the center of the spine. Keeping it in flow, circulating it.
Dream a little Dream of me
Something else we covered in our twitter spaces is dream work, dream play and so here is a little of what was passed on. If you wish to work more in the dream world i do offer one on ones and deeper teachings on this. Dream work is very important in Shamanism as it was in taoist practice as well & in many ancient paths & philosophies.
Dream Yoga (mini review or intro) some tidbits that we talked about in the Space~
Dream yoga is a practice that originates from Tibetan Buddhism and is focused on cultivating awareness and lucidity within dreams. It involves training oneself to maintain consciousness during the dream state, allowing for greater self-awareness, insight, and transformative experiences. Here are a few dream yoga techniques: 1. Dream Recall: Developing the ability to remember and recall dreams is an essential first step in dream yoga. Keep a dream journal by your bedside and upon waking, immediately write down any dream fragments or vivid images you can remember. Over time, this practice enhances your dream recall ability. 2. Reality Checks: Throughout your waking hours, perform reality checks to cultivate the habit of questioning reality. This habit will carry over into your dream state. Examples of reality checks include looking at your hands, checking the time, or attempting to push your finger through the palm of your hand. In a dream, these actions may yield unusual or impossible results, alerting you to the dream state. 3. Setting Intentions: Before going to bed, set a clear intention to become aware and lucid within your dreams. Repeat affirmations or mantras such as "I will remember my dreams" or "I will recognize when I'm dreaming." This intention-setting helps to program your subconscious mind for greater dream awareness. 4. Mindfulness Meditation: Regular mindfulness meditation practice can enhance your overall awareness and carry over into your dreams. Cultivate present-moment awareness and non-judgmental observation of thoughts and sensations during meditation, which can aid in recognizing and sustaining awareness within dreams. 5. Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD): MILD is a technique developed by Stephen LaBerge, a prominent researcher in lucid dreaming. As you're falling asleep, repeat a phrase or affirmation to yourself such as "Next time I'm dreaming, I will remember that I'm dreaming." Combine this affirmation with visualization of becoming aware in a dream. 6. Wake-Back-to-Bed (WBTB): Set an alarm to wake yourself up after approximately 4-5 hours of sleep. Stay awake for a short period, engaging in a quiet activity such as reading or meditation. Then, go back to bed with the intention of entering a dream while maintaining awareness.
Other practices that can help you thrive in this are~
Dream Recall: Practitioners focused on developing a strong capacity for dream recall. This involved training oneself to remember dreams by setting the intention before sleep and keeping a dream journal to record dreams upon waking. By consistently recalling and reflecting on dreams, practitioners aimed to increase awareness and familiarity with the dream state.
Recognizing Dream Signs: Tibetan Buddhist practitioners were encouraged to develop the ability to recognize signs or cues within dreams that indicate one is dreaming. These signs could be personal, such as recurring dream elements or unusual occurrences, or more general dream symbols that are often associated with dreams, such as flying, unusual landscapes, or impossible events.
Reality Testing: Practitioners engaged in various reality testing techniques to confirm whether they were in a dream or waking state. This involved performing checks on the stability of one's surroundings, looking at texts or digital displays to see if they change, or attempting to pass through solid objects. If these reality tests failed, it indicated the practitioner was in a dream and could proceed with lucid dreaming practices.
Cultivating Lucidity: Once practitioners recognized they were in a dream, they worked on maintaining awareness and lucidity within the dream. This involved stabilizing the dream state by focusing on specific objects or sensations within the dream, engaging in mindfulness practices, and avoiding getting caught up in the dream narrative or emotions.
Transformative Practices: Tibetan Buddhist practitioners used dream yoga as a platform for various spiritual practices. This included visualization and deity yoga, where they would engage with specific Buddhist deities or enlightened beings within the dream state. They would also engage in mantra recitation, meditation, and other practices to deepen their understanding and cultivate spiritual insights.
Dream Rehearsal: Another aspect of dream yoga was the practice of dream rehearsal. Practitioners would deliberately set intentions and scenarios in their dreams, rehearsing specific actions, meditations, or visualizations they wished to explore or deepen in the waking state. This technique allowed them to familiarize themselves with these practices and reinforce their effectiveness.
Remember that consistent practice, patience, and persistence are key in developing proficiency in dream yoga. It is also important to approach dream yoga with a sense of curiosity, openness, and non-attachment to outcomes.
