TAOIST ESOTERIC YOGA COURSE OFFERINGS

There are now Taoist Esoteric Yoga Centers throughout the U.S. offering personal instruction in the complete Taoist Body/ Mind/Spirit system. Opening the Microcosmic Orbit is the prerequisite for all other courses. If you are having difficulty mastering the methods taught in this book, it will help to study the Microcosmic with a teacher and follow that with a class (usually a weekend) in the Taoist Secrets of Love/Cultivating Male and Female Sexual

Energy. This will answer personal questions and allow discussion of many related topics that could not be included in this book. The Microcosmic course includes the Inner Smile meditation, the Six Healing Sounds, and the Taoist Rejuvenation exercises.

Complementary to the cultivation of sexual energy are the course offerings in Iron Shirt Chi Kung. This teaches how to pack energy in various organs and cavities of the body and strengthen the connective tissue which gives our body its integrity. These powerful exercises can be performed in a few minutes and will greatly increase your "rooting" power in the earth. It is an invaluable aid to anyone who meditates and tends to get "spacey," for martial artists, or anyone seeking to increase their immunity against disease. The higher level Iron Shirt classes strengthen the tendons and bone marrow, increase sperm count, allow your internal organs to gain super strength leading to the development of what Taoists call the "steel body" impervious to attack or illness.

A short five minute Tai Chi Chi Kung form is taught in addition to a longer Yang style Tai Chi Chuan form. Five Finger KungFu, Chi Massage, herbology and many other related courses in healing are offered in addition to all the meditation levels described in the seven formulas.
