Taoist Esoteric Yoga Course Offerings

There were original nine Taoist Esoteric Yoga Centers in the U.S.

offering personal instruction in various practices ranging from the

Microcosmic Orbit to Tai Chi Chuan, Pakua, Hsing I.

Taoist Esoteric Warm Current Meditation as these practices are

also known, awakens, circulates, directs and preserves the generative

life force called chi through the major acupuncture meridians

of the body. At progressive stages, dedicated practice of this

ancient esoteric system eliminates stress and nervous tension,

massages the internal organs, and restores health to damaged

tissue.

This practice is of particular use to practioners of polarity therapy,

shiatsu, Kundalini yoga, Swedish massage and other healing arts

in which the exchange and cirulation of life force — energy ki, prana

or Chi — must be maintained while working with clients or students.

The first two formulas are described below. The remaining

5 formulas will be described when offered.

Opening of the Microcosmic Orbit is the first level in the Taoist

Esoteric Warm Current Meditation. Through unique relaxation and

concentration techniques, it provides for purification of the first two

major acupuncture channels of the body, the Functional and Governor

meridians. Master Chia will assist students in the mastery of

this technique by passing energy through his hands into their energy

channels. (Course No.1)

Completion of the Microcosmic Orbit is a prerequisite for any

student who intends to study the higher levels of Taoist yoga which

includes various forms of Chi Kung, Seminal and Ovarian Kung

Fu, and the long and short forms of Tai Chi Chuan.

Fusion of the Five Elements and Cleansing of the Organs is the

second level of the Taoist Esoteric Warm Current Meditation. At

this level one Iearns how the five elements (earth, metal, fire, wood,

water) and their corresponding organs (spleen, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys) interact with one another in three distinct ways: producing,

combining and threatening. This formula combines the disparate

energies of the five principle elements — and their corresponding

emotions (sympathy, sadness, joy, anger, fear) — one

harmonious whole. The filtering effect upon the entire psycho/physical

system is particularly powerful as these combined energies

circulate throughout the Microcosmic Orbit and the Six Special

Channels.

(Course No. 9)

The second formula is taught in three parts.

Part I: The 12 steps for collecting, fusing, harmonizing and

cleansing of the organs;

Part II: The opening of the three Chung-Ma (Thrusting Routes)

and the nine Tai-Ma (Belt Routes);

Part III: The opening of the Positive and Negative Legs and Positive

and Negative Arms.
