Taoist Meditation: Inner Dissolving, Spinal Neigong and Reverse Breathing Course Details

The Taoist Meditation tradition is extremely relevant to life in the fast-paced computer age. It also helps people resolve and come to terms with many of the spiritual questions that human beings have been exploring for millenia:

• Why am I here?
• What is the nature of spirituality?
• How can I overcome the conditionings of childhood and become emotionally and spiritually mature?
• How can I resolve my spiritual, psychic and emotional pain?
• How can I come to terms with death and dying?

The aim at the beginning states of Taoist meditation is to develop an awareness of subtle energy in your body and to maintain that awareness. Foundational skills include proper alignments, breathing, concentration and staying present to what is inside you.

As your practice progresses, you begin to attain deeper layers of inner stillness and to become aware of Universal Consciousnessⁱⁱ. The core practice at this stage is Taoist inner dissolving which you can practice in five modalities: sitting, standing, moving, lying down or in partner exercises. You learn to let go and develop more spontaneity in your life. The benefits at this stage include gaining emotional harmony, and releasing structural blockages, traumas and fixations in your emotional, mental and psychic bodies.

This course will focous on using spinal neigongⁱ methods and reverse breathing techniques during the inner dissolving process. Specifically Bruce will address:

• Taoist meditation both seated and lying down.
• Correcting spine collapsing and micro-alignments.
• Relieving back pain while sitting.
• How reverse breathing increases the functioning of the body's ascending and descending currents of energy.
• Energizing the spine to powerfully catalyze your inner dissolving.
