The Essence of Taoism

Taoism, pronounced "dow-ism," is an ancient Chinese philosophy. It emphasizes living in harmony with nature. At Taoist Wellness Online, we bring the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu to life.

As the story goes, Lao Tzu was a wise man living in Chengzhou (today Luoyang). At the age of 80, he grew tired of the city's moral decay and predicted the kingdom's decline. He decided to venture west to live as a hermit in the unsettled frontier.

A guard at the western gate recognized him as a wise old man. He asked the master to record his wisdom.

Today, we share this wisdom through a holistic approach to improving your well-being. This includes your physical, mental, and spiritual health. You'll learn to align with the flow of Qi, which will lead to a more harmonious life.

Taoist Wellness

The greatest legacy of Taoism is the art of wellness. Today, people talk a lot about wellness, but what does it actually mean? What are the characteristics of Taoist practice? People often focus only on their bodies. But Taoism offers a better way. It seeks to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Taoism teaches us to be aware of Qi (chee). It is the universal life energy that flows through and sustains all things. By becoming aware of the Qi within us, we can cultivate it, learn to let it flow unobstructed, and balance our life force with that of other beings and Nature.

Taoist wellness teaches that true health comes from balance. It is harmony with oneself, others, and the environment.
