Tao Te Ching
Meditation with Bruce Frantzis
Chapter 1
You are alive, you are dead. Find the space they both come out of.
Inhale the force of life, Exhale, notice what life ceasing means
Up the center of your body, let life explode inside you
On the changeover between the inhale and exhale, let life and death merge.Chapter 2
Hope and Fear
Inhale hope, exhale fear. After a while reverse that. Inhale fear, exhale hope.
Breathe from your nose down the central channel to the Dantien.
Let them mix. Your mind lets go of tensions as your body does.Chapter 3
Wanting and Expectations
Practice Non-Action
“Am I willing?”
1. Empty the heart, think of something you want
2. “Let go” of this idea-no ambition, expectation, grief
3. Let your heart open-empty your heart-Letting go of what you can
4. Fortify the belly
5. Energy will spew out of the belly to bones, to the entire body, and to the bone marrow.Chapter 4
Emptiness(Part 1)
Inner Dissolving
(read his books) Tao of Letting Go The Great Stillness (Part 2)
Take something in your life that is sharp. Focus on it. Notice how it exists in immense space.
Ice to Water, Water to Inner Space
Inner Space-Everything that is bound, sharp, Yin and Yang
Keep on letting go until it relaxes
With any sense of fullness, relax
The center of the ejing is Empty. Energy without an origin
There are a variety of ways this center will appear to you—light or vibration etc.Chapter 5
Emptiness (Part 2)
Recognize the emptiness that IS
Let your mind focus on anything that comes in. And let it go on its own accord.
Triagrams
Focus thoughts, feelings, sensations, energy—Let it come in and let it go. Moving through all its cycles.
Keep letting go—no force
Be present to it. (Hopes, greed, wanting, relationships etc.) Notice what is happening and how it goes away. What remains? And what comes out of it. Immerse yourself in it.
