The educational path of the Universal Healing Tao® System
The Taoist sages look at one's own energy system as a single, holistic entity. For example, a young and healthy person receives one hundred percent of the energy she/he needs for the day from breathing, eating, sleeping and moving, and uses about sixty to seventy percent of it for his daily life. You could think of this one hundred percent as a bank account.
But this energy balance becomes increasingly unfavourable with age.The elderly person absorbs less and less energy as they get worn out, stressed, tired, etc., although the body uses the same amount. So they gradually fall into a negative energy balance because they have to draw the energy they need from their vital organs - kidneys, liver, spleen, lungs, heart and pancreas, then from their endocrine glands and finally from their brain. Seen in this light, the ailments of growing old take on a whole new dimension.
Jing Chi is the most subtle of all the energies a person has at birth.
It is on the Jing, or source Chi, that all other forms of Chi in the body depend. Jing Chi is transformed into Chi through interaction with the organs. Maintaining and nurturing Jing Chi is the foundation of the Taoist path, and is stored primarily in the kidneys, sperm and eggs.
Imbalances in our body's energy, Chi (Qi), can result from unrestrained emotions, improper diet or excessive lifestyle, and lead to health problems. As a result of these imbalances, dullness and listlessness may occur, initially temporarily. More obvious symptoms such as nervousness, irritability, listlessness and insomnia appear in more advanced stages. We find the archetypal patterns of the traditional 5 Elements doctrine of Classical Chinese Medicine in the deeper layers of these disturbing fields.
From this perspective, emotions do not originate in the brain but in the organs. Each of the five main organs represents an elemental consciousness, each with its own character and temperament.There are many methods and ways to prevent these imbalances from becoming too dominant from a Taoist perspective. Changes here are particularly promising because we are in constant interrelation with our environment. External conditions can be slowly changed with an awakening awareness of these relationships.
Grand Master Mantak Chia's Universal Healing Tao® System is divided into 5 branches or levels:
01. Tao Energy Cultivation - Healing Love - Inner Alchemy Astrology
The fundamental basics of energy work. Based on the 5 Elements of Classical Chinese Medicine you learn the basic exercises of Taoist energy work, the "Inner Smile", the "6 Healing Sounds" and the "Microcosmic Orbit". The goal of these practices is to learn the inward Qigong View and you begin the elimination of energetic imbalances in your body-soul-mind unity.
The second part covers the complex of inner sexual alchemy, that is the work with Jing Chi, our sexual power - in both women and men. Jing chi is the sexual essence, it is formed in the sexual organs. In women, it is the energy of the ovaries given to the eggs, in men, the energy of the semen. Jing Chi is denser than chi, moves slower in the body, nourishes the organs as it moves through the body. Learn more...
02. Internal Martial Arts
Qigong is rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine. Meditative and dynamic exercises should ensure the flow of Chi in the body and strengthen the self-healing powers. Tai Chi is originated from the martial arts and uses the same principles as Qigong, but the orientation is more outward. Roughly simplified, Tai Chi is an orderly sequence of Qigong exercises, but with a different orientation.
At the beginning there is the building up of rooting and the development of our Iron Shirt prepare our physical body to absorb and store spiritual energies. Stretching and working with the dragon's breath, reactivating our stem cells, stimulating our glands are trained with and through practices such as Tao Yin, Tan Tien Chi Kung, Iron Shirt Chi Kung and various Qigong and Tai Chi levels.

03. Chi Nei Tsang® - where chi and matter touch each other
From Chinese health science we know that feelings and emotions do not arise in the brain, but according to archetypal patterns in the 5 major organs. People often develop energy blockages in their internal organs, which are caused by nodules and entanglements of the intestinal tract.
The Chi Nei Tsang®© massage is an extremely effective way to release these energy blockages, also called winds, and flush out deposited toxins. The exact connections have not yet been researched here, but the efficient effectiveness of the Chi Nei Tsang®© massage system astonishes and excites the participants again and again. Learn more...
04. Cosmic Healing Qi Gong - don't use your own Qi
Cosmic Healing Qigong is a hitherto largely unknown method to specifically absorb cosmic energy, to store it and to use it for health and long life - for yourself and others. By activating hands and acupuncture points, vitalizing forces flow in and through the entire body. This prevents the exhaustion of one's own energy resources and supplies fresh energy.
Through the practitioner's inner preparation with the basic exercises, and especially with the techniques of the Cosmic Healing Qigong, the practitioner's mental and spiritual abilities are trained and developed.Grandmaster Chia shows us how to build up simple protective fields and gives you the opportunity to balance your own body energy system - practical mental hygiene, so to speak.

05. Inner Alchemy Immortality - the biochemistry of enlightment
As we begin to practice the meditations of higher inner alchemy without successfully balancing and harmonizing our mind-body system, unpleasant phenomena may arise from the deeper parts of our soul. So in the first part of the Inner Alchemy, the 3 levels of the UHT FUSION of the 5 Elements need to be mastered. It is considered the "jewel" of Taoist meditation because of its great effectiveness in transforming disharmonious emotions.
These advanced high practices of Inner Alchemy are taught by Grandmaster Mantak Chia in the Darkroom, following the tradition of Taoist masters, meditating in dark caves to keep the mind free from distractions. In the absence of light and distraction, deeper exploration of one's inner alchemy can begin. Extraordinary experiences are to be expected on these highest levels of sinking into one's own body chemistry. Learn more...
