With roots that trace back more than 5,000 years in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a popular alternative practice. It is not only one of the most common treatments worldwide, but it is also one of the oldest. However, it did not gain recognition until 1971 when James Reston, a New York Times journalist, published an article about his pain was greatly eased after surgery by Chinese doctors who employed the use of acupuncture. The Foundation of Acupuncture This practice is founded on the belief that all living beings have an energy that travels through 12 meridians (or invisible energy lines) in the body by the use of qi (pronounced key). Each of these meridians is associated with a...
Pros: holds 56 pictures; long rechargeable battery life; close-up shots look good; easy-to-use software; includes AC adapter and USB cord for charging. Cons: small screen, ONLY close-up shots look good; little too bulky for pocket. For years now, a bottle opener and a LEGO® version of Steve Nash in a Dallas Mavericks uniform have dangled from my keys. Since I don't drink too many bottles anymore and Nash jumped to the Suns a few seasons ago, I think it's safe to say my keychains could use an update. Ready to take a small step into the future, I removed the Tao Digital Photo Keychain from the packaging. The body of the keychain is a square black plastic housing with a 1.4-inch LCD screen (for...
Dating For Men - The Tao of Getting Out of a Slump
Have you ever experienced a slump? That's what I thought. The structure goes something like this: You experience a setback. It shakes you up a little. As you're recovering, another setback hits. Now you weren't doing anything differently from before, but now you think you're seeing a trend. This affects your beliefs and attitudes, which actually affects your performance, making more likely -- you guessed it -- another setback. Now you've got what's sometimes called a 'vicious cycle' -- bad stuff leading to more bad stuff. And before you know it, you're deep in some hole that you didn't know existed. That's the genesis of the slump. It's usually not entirely your fault. For example, it happens in...
The Tao of Music - Chapter One
During the next few months, I will be presenting a series of articles exploring the application of ancient Taoism to the process of becoming a musician. This article is concerned with one principle of the Tao: Take Pleasure in the Mystery. TAKE PLEASURE IN THE MYSTERY In other words, enjoy the process! Becoming a musician is all about the PROCESS, and not the END RESULT. If it were possible for someone to open the top of your head and pour in all of the musical knowledge and technical ability that has ever existed since the beginning of time, that would NOT make you a great musician. Why? Because you would be missing the PROCESS! The filtering of this knowledge and skill through the unique...
"> Barbados lies approximately 100 miles east of the Windward Island chain that runs from St Martin to Trinidad and Tobago. This close proximity to neighboring islands affords an ideal opportunity to experience a different flavor of paradise in less than a 30 minute plane ride. We recently visited the lush and verdant island of St Lucia, opting for a "BodyHoliday" at the Le Sport resort located on the island's northern tip of Gros Islet. Le Sport is an all-inclusive property but don't let that all-you-can-eat stereotype give you the wrong impression: it is an experience you'll remember for the world class cuisine, highly trained and efficient staff, and its revitalizing spa, Oasis.

We live in an era of dreams. Not only are we urged to dream, it seems that we'll have to dream big. "Set the target to achieve your first million! Pin the picture of your dream home up. Admire it every morning and imagine that you've already owned it," says the typical motivator. It is important to dream. Dreams motivate success. I am what I am, partly because of my dreams. It is, however, equally important to pursue a dream that is truly yours. When setting your sight on what you want to do in the future, ask yourself: Is the dream really yours? Or has it been imposed on you by others or circumstances. Do you strive for the first million because it is what your heart directs you to, or it is what...
The Tao De Jing was known as Lao Tzu's "The Way". According to tradition it was written around the 6th century BC by the sage Lao Tzu, or Old Master who was purported to be a record keeper in the Zhou Dynasty court. On my bathroom floor in front of the toilet lays a pocket edition translation of Stephen Mitchell's Tao Te Jing. I picked it up so often the pages fell from the binding, and then I bought a new one. It is one of the most inspirational books in my possession and a constant reminder to relax and enjoy life. There are 81 stanzas in the book followed by a brief analysis of each by Mitchell. I have no idea how many times I have reviewed this small book, but it must be hundreds of times. It is...
White Sun - Tao of Heaven: Heaven and Man are...
The whole universe originated from Tao. Mankind also originated from Tao. Therefore, man and Heaven are connected. Hence man and Heaven can be aligned and united as a single entity and become one. The soul of a man is nurtured by the essence of Heaven and Earth, and hence man possesses the essence of nature. In other words, man possesses the same essence that make up the cosmos, that is, a man is a small cosmos within the large cosmos. The goal of practising Tao is to tranquilize one's heart. It is better for a practitioner not to have the emotion of joy, delight, sorrow and anger, because if he can eliminate emotions, he will find that he and the cosmos become one entity. The true self of a man is...
Quantum-Physics and TAO Updated Ancient Wisdom
The Tao The only constant in the whole Universe is 'change.' We as a Solar System, have rotated through the Milky Way Galaxy to a new place in space. There will be many changes. For the past 2000 years formal religions were to the front and Science took a back seat. The people will still have a strong need for religion, but it will be more individualized. The huge formal religions, in the next 100-200 years will disappear. Each man and woman on the planet will be given the chance to discover God in their own way. They will not have to BELIEVE any one any more. They will 'KNOW' who and what God is. The masters who have gone before, understood a great deal more about the workings of God and each of...
White Sun - The Essence of Tao
The four different Great Chinese Phrases are, "1]The Human Nature is precarious and unstable 2]The True Nature is Obscure 3]Be refined and be One and 4]Be amenable and uphold the center." This is the explanation from Heaven: 1]The Human Nature is precarious and unstable: Mankind is one of the 'Three Powers' in the cosmos. Humans possess 'Li-xing' (True Character), thus mankind is the dominion on Earth. The heart is the center of the cosmos. It governs everything. The Human Nature is senses and emotions. It has been contaminated by fancies. It is what being called the nature of the 'Qi-xing' (Spiritual Character) and 'Zhi-xing' (Material Character) in 'Hou-tien' (Space where all lives live after...
Taoist philosophy comes from the mid 18th century Chinese teachings and is defined by the "universal energy that makes and maintains everything that exists." Encarta ® World English Dictionary In the Tao way of life, we live in the ultimate reality in which all things are located or happening and strive to live in harmony with the universe undivided. The body's innate capacity to maintain homeostasis is an inherent element of life. Our DNA has within it absolutely all the information needed to manufacture enzymes to repair itself. In other words, contained within our physical being is absolutely everything that is necessary to maintain a perfect, healthy balance. This healing system we came...
White Sun (Tao Te Ching)
There are many legends about Lao Tze and till now it is still a mystery about his birth and name. The legend said that his mother was pregnant for 81 years and delivered a grey-haired boy around 571 B.C. "Lao" means old and "Tze" means child and that is why we called him Lao Tze meaning Old Child. "Tao" means the source of all, the roots of universe, the Truth or the Way. Lao Tze defined Tao as non-descriptive truth. It has no form or substance, yet it creates and cultivates Heaven and Earth. It has no favors, thus it governs the law and order of the cosmos. It has no name, but it gives life to and nourishes all beings. It is so mystical and powerful, there is no proper word to represent it. "Te...
Taking Refuge in the Tao - Another Look at...
Even for those who may understand the depths of ancient Chinese thought, the term "Tao" can be a mystifying word. Often translated into English as "The Way", this term has become a famous phrase that has described a religion, philosophy and approach for daily living. Master's of the "Tao" are however quick to point out that the meaning of the term may lie somewhere ... beyond the meaning of ordinary words. As a term that has intrigued and inspired a tremendous number of people, the "Tao" has been described as a universal force that circles, surrounds and flows through all things ... both living and non-living alike. The "Tao" controls the natural forces of the universe. And it embodies the natural...

We are very pleased to have with us C. J. Golden who recently published a book that is a resource for women dealing with changes in life. Welcome to Reader Views. Irene: Recently you wrote a great resource book for women dealing with passages into another stage of their lives. Please give us a gist of your book. CJ: Thank you for calling the book "a great resource for women". In essence, it is a guide to follow as we go through life's transitions and challenges. My narrator, Taogirl, is someone who inspires us to remember the acceptance of the ancient Taoist philosophy. She also reminds us to couple that with a defiant attitude: one that defies old-fashioned stereotypes, limitations and self...
White Sun - Bible and Tao
The purpose of all religions is the same - returning to God's Kingdom. Why must Jesus Christ be crucified on the Cross? Is there a message that he carries by the crucifixion or is it because he has to sacrifice his life to save the sinners in that manner? In the teachings of Tao, it has great meaning! There is a very profound relationship between the Cross and Tao. The Truth has no word to explain and what happened 2,005 years ago to Jesus Christ is very important in the teachings of Tao of Heaven. On the Bible, miraculously, a manuscript of it was maintained before the invention of printing. So far, there have been about 16,000 hand-written Bibles passed down. Newton, an English physicist, who...
Basic Taoism Lesson One - What is the Tao, and...
The philosophy of Taoism, (pronounced Dow-ism) founded in ancient times by an elusive figure known only as Lao-Tzu (The Old Teacher), holds the key to helping us get rid of the stress in our everyday lives. Taoists throughout Asian history have made a huge impact on the countries they lived in and the lives they touched. They were and are renowned for their ability to triumph over difficult situations without buckling and for their ability to create wholesome and stress-free lifestyles for themselves. In this preliminary lesson, we'll be looking at what the Tao of Taoism is, and how we can try to understand it. This will build the foundation of your further introduction to Taoism. The word Tao...
The Tao of Change - Zen and the Art of Change...
We are so naturally focused on the "left brain", structured, analytical aspect of change and how we manage it - it's as though it's our hard-wired default setting. However, there is another perspective, maybe another dimension, to how we interact with change - a more "right brain" approach - and in this short piece I want to take time out for reflection - and to try to experience that wider view - the Tao of change... Being fully aware of what is going on I sub-headed this piece "Zen and the art of change management" with my tongue slightly in my cheek - and with passing reference to Robert Pirsig's 70's best seller "Zen and art of motor cycle maintenance". I am not proselytising Buddhism or indeed...
Observing and Learning Life Through Nature -...
Tao Verse 76 A man is born gentle and weak. At his death he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At their death they are withered and dry. Therefore the stiff and unbending is the way of death. The gentle and yielding is the way of life. Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken. The hard and strong will fall. The soft and weak will overcome. What is Lao Tzu asking us to consider in Verse 76? It seems he is asking us to be flexible in life Adjust to the changing circumstances of life. In the western world we are raised to believe flexible is weak. Lao Tzu in the Tao says however that flexibility is actually strength...
The Tao Ti Ching - Living in the Fruit Not the...
From a Western point of view one of the most compelling but difficult to understand of the ancient texts is the Tao Ti Ching. The Chinese characters do not translate to an exact Western meaning, and translations vary considerably from each other because of the necessity to have a concept of the meaning. It is a book of concepts that can only be felt, not written. I have been reading the Tao Ti Ching for many years. It is simple but illusive. My understanding is that opening (that comes in many forms), 'That which can be named is not The Way,' is a simple statement that God is beyond our comprehension. Even translating 'The Way' as being God is difficult. It is a concept that seems to a duality of...
Well, if that's not a daunting task, to take on the subject of death and how it relates to the Tao and the Law of Attraction. I preface this by saying that I practice Taoism and LOA from Christian perspective. I am inspired to write this article in regard to a small section in Dr. Wayne Dyer's Book, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life; Living the Wisdom of the Tao. Great book, and one of my very favorites. While I respect Lau-tzu's teachings, I don't always trust the interpretations of his verses. Dr. Dyer is probably more qualified to translate what is in this ancient text than anybody, and I appreciate the interjection of his own wisdom in this work. That being said, I would like to attempt to...
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Let all under heaven be governed in accordance with the Tao,and the demons will not manifest their power. It is not that they lack powerbut rather they will not use their powerto harm people. They are not the only ones who have powerand do not use it to harm the people. The True Person does not harm the people.whenever there is ho harm done,that power flows into the common Virtue. As a mother of five, I find it hard to determine when to speak up and when to be quiet. I am often tempted to scold my teenage daughter, and threaten her with punishment when she's untidy and her room looks like a bomb has exploded in it. But if I lose my temper, where...
The shapeless and formless Tao brings about various elements and spiritual energy. These elements and spiritual energy combine to form living cells. Cells then proliferate into living entities. Each living entity is unique because of the differences in the combination of elements and the intensity of spiritual energy. The intensity of the spiritual energy given to a species determines its class. Among all the living things on Earth, mankind is the only life form that possesses all attributes of Tao. Thus, mankind is the dominion on Earth. Tao of Heaven is the mystic key to the cosmos just like a train must run on rails, a ship must sail on its course and airplane must fly along its designated route...
The Tao of Leadership
There can be no doubt that the ancient author of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-Tzu, was a man of unique wisdom whose writings continue to influence people of different backgrounds and faiths. Many leaders then and now get wrapped up in selfish ambition. They would do well to listen to what Lao-Tzu had to say on the subject of leadership. There are several English translations of the Tao Te Ching available on-line. The following selections are from a translation by C. Ganson. Leaders Work Humbly Leaders should not seek power or status;people will not then crave power or status. If scarce goods are not valued highly,people will have no need to steal them. If there is nothing available to arouse passion...
The Martial Way and Its Virtues - Tao De Gung -...
"The Martial Way and its Virtues - Tao De Gung" by F.J. Chu was an enjoyable read that made me think of my own martial art journey. I agree with William R. Connors' foreword in that rather than a technique book, this book uses martial arts as a core to provide an insight into martial arts as well as a blueprint for a way to begin the journey of achieving mastery of one's body, mind, and spirit. This is an endless journey that those of us who have chosen to follow a warrior's path realize is worth taking. This book offers guidance to anyone who chooses to follow that path, and assisted me with my training, thinking, and teaching. Chu's goals with this book included wanting to show the relevance of...
Living the Tao Through the Soft Martial Arts
How does one live in the flow of Tao? A good starting point is learning one of the soft martial arts. The soft martial arts have a way of leading you into a greater sense of harmony and peace with yourself and your surroundings. This aim has long been a part of Chinese culture and the physical mechanical aspects of the internal arts are designed to lead you to this mental and spiritual place slowly but surely. Taoism - the way of the universe - has formed the foundation pillar of many people's lives in China over the years and still does to this day. The Tao is the source of all energy and life and, ideally, an individual should seek to harmonize themselves with it in order to achieve maximum...
How to Live the Tao
As I prepared to write this article, I gathered around me several Wayne Dyer's books. Once these books were all around me, I could gather my sense of calm and write one word, and then the next. One of Wayne's favorite Patanjali aphorisms defines inspiration, and applies six rewards to the process: When you are inspired, or in-spirit, at one with God/ess, and at one with some great purpose, 1) all thoughts break their bonds, 2) the mind transcends limitations, 3)consciousness expands in all directions, 4) and you find yourself in a new and great wonderful world. 5) Dormant forces come alive, 6) and you discover yourself greater by far than you ever imagined before. Inspiration is not just an idea. It...

White Sun - Tao of Heaven
Tao exists before Heaven and Earth. It will still exist after the destruction of everything. Tao is the origin of Heaven, Earth, mankind, substances and matters. Tao being the essence, is the core of all virtues. God is the spiritual energy of Tao. In terms of the lord of all phenomena in the cosmos, the essence is called God. The truth is the manifestation of Tao and conscience is the manifestation of the true self. Originally Tao is nameless. Since it is a void, it is everywhere and it is nowhere. The comos is like a giant wheel, days follow months, winter follows summer, birth is followed by growth, old age and death. Human cannot live without Tao. Tao is the True Self of a human. Once the True...
Koh Tao - Visit the Beautiful Turtle Island
Visiting Thailand is an amazing experience where your senses are indulged and your taste buds of life are invigorated, but selecting where to go for your travels can be a tricky task what with the variety that is on offer. However one of the best islands to visit if you're in the area is the island of Koh Tao, which directly translates as 'turtle island'. Koh Tao is about a 3 hour ferry ride from the mainland and there is good transport links to Koh Tao from all over Thailand, costing as little as $10 return from Bangkok. The island is about 21km squared and you could drive around the island in a day easily. This place is perfect for those who are looking for a young vibe that knows how to party but...
4 Messages From Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Jing,...
In a book of 5000 words early Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu outlines a way of life. The book first written about 450BC is many times translated throughout history. I find the translation by Stephen Mitchell in 1992 resonates with me. Tao De Jing teaches the value of "wei wu wei'' or "doing-not doing" meaning; to enter a state where less and less doing is necessary and the need to act comes from the deepest levels of knowing. It is contrary to our current way of life where we feel we must always strive to accomplish to have meaning and value. When explaining the "Way" Lao Tzu uses the following expressions: · Those who know don't talk; those who talk don't know Anyone who is in the role of...
The True Meaning of the Tao and its relationship between Yin Yang and the Five Elements In my opinion, the word Tao is the most overly philosophized word in the whole world. Its meaning is so abstract that sometimes even if you read a whole book on it, you still don't understand and confused about it. By knowing the true meaning of the Tao, one can answer the following questions: - What does a little girl and a flower both have in common? - What does a butterfly and a chair both have in common? - What does a goldfish and a basketball both have in common? - What dose all things in the universe has in common? An Entity An entity is an existence. Anything that exists is an entity such as a little girl...
Acting Book Review - The Tao Te Ching
The Toa Te Ching is the bible of Taosim. Although written 2500 years ago, its teaching are as applicable today as it was then. Tzu focuses on the duality of life. How everything in existence has its opposite. Just take for example the Ying and the Yang, Taoisms symbol. He also stress the importance of looking to nature for teachings on how to live ones life. For example, an often overlooked element that possesses all the power over life and death on this planet is the weakest yet strongest force. Water can kill entire populations from its lack or abundance. It can carve cliff faces simply by brushing against it. It can smooth stone in the ocean. It has no form, yet can take the shape of any...

The channeled state is really a trance state. The trance state happens to us all the time. It is a normal part of our mind's function. If you have ever had a trying day at work and left work with your mind racing and suddenly found yourself at home, not remembering the trip there, you were in a trance. When you are really involved in watching a movie or reading a good book, you are in trance. When you are operating, even for a moment, in the realm of the sub or super-conscious mind and not the thinking, conscious mind you are in trance. When you go deeply within and quiet your conscious mind, you open up yourself to guidance from a higher realm. This higher realm may contain angels and archangels...
Channeling Stocks - A Simple, Effective Strategy
Channeling Stocks (or Rolling Stocks) can be a very accurate and reliable trading strategy that will provide the trader with exact entry and exit points. When a stock repeatedly moves up and down in waves between two parallel lines it is said to be channeling or rolling. A line is drawn across the highs, and one across the lows. This forms the channel. The upper line is referred to as the resistance line and the lower line is referred to as the support line. Some traders choose to trade within the channel and will enter or exit the trade as price draws near the support or resistance line. Others prefer to trade breakouts, entering or exiting the trade, once it breaks out of the channel. One of the...

Channeling Spirit Guides Made Easy
What spirit wants you to know next: What is channeling? Channeling is when you are tapped into higher guidance to source energy (God) and you are receiving insights and wisdom that you know to be resoundingly true within you. How do you know the difference between the voice of your ego and the voice of your higher self? The way that you get connected to your Higher Self is you get connected inwards. You have to develop a very strong inner awareness to be able to channel, to be able to bring through that higher guidance. And if you have a lot of blocks within you and I don't know a person that doesn't have a block within them, you are going to find it more challenging to be able to channel. The first...
Stock channeling refers to the process of trading within a price that is bound by two parallel trend lines. These two lines give the demarcation between the high and the low prices and the area between them is the area around which the stock is channeling. The concept behind the two trend lines is not so hard to understand. The upper line acts as a resistance line, meaning, that the prices cannot go beyond that upper line. The lower line acts as the support line and represents the lowest prices at which the shares may be sold. Any channeling stock that breaks out of the lines tends to suffer some consequences in relation to the duration, the width and the strength of the breakout. Since the...
Laws of Remembering - Emotional and Spiritual...
The Rules for Being Human, author unknown, are posted on a plethora of web sites. While these rules are helpful, there is one fundamental flaw in its wording--that being that we are here to learn lessons. The concept of learning lessons is flawed in that it flies in the face of Carl Jung's concept of 'The Collective Unconscious,' and the fundamental laws of human existence. The collective unconscious refers to that part of a person's unconscious which is common to all human beings. It contains archetypes, which are forms or symbols that are manifested by all people in all cultures. They are said to exist prior to experience, and are in this sense instinctual. Critics have argued that this is an...
Here are some special questions you can ask yourself as you experience life transformation, healing, and personal growth. They are related to the three stages of transformation: experience, release, and transform. Experience: Relax and go within your deep inner mind, as you ask yourself some questions: "What is it that I'm experiencing about my situation? It may be a picture, a feeling, a thought or an impression." (Ask yourself questions to vivify the experience..." What's happening now? Where am I? How old am I? Is anyone else here with me? What do I feel in my body? Do I see anything?) Release: "Am I ready to release this now?" Transform: "What does that part of me need? (Or how can I bring more...

Relationship Advice - God Uses Trials to...
You may think relationships, trials, spiritual growth, and God are not related, but they are. In fact trials are the perfect tool God uses to deepen our relationship with Him. But who wants to endure trials? No one. Yet that has nothing to do with God's perfect will for us. He knows the benefits of His trials in our lives. If we want to grow in a way that pleases God, we must get a new perspective concerning trials. Changing the way we see things mentally is not easy to do. Some say that if a habit is repeated for 30 days then it is mentally easier to make a change. But who wants to go through 30 days of difficulties? Especially when we know that we did everything humanly possible to resolve the...
Spiritual Pruning For Spiritual Growth
I've been pruning hickory trees in our yard-cutting and cleansing for better growth and health. It reminded me of the uncomfortable and sometimes painful pruning we go through during sanctification. Jesus said "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." God prunes us, to weed out ungodliness, refine us and shape us. We, like fruit trees...
I've experienced jealousy in romantic relationships and also in friendships; who hasn't? It's never fun and it's always attached to a lot of drama, which is very much "old energy." Jealousy is a fear-based emotion that we've all had to deal with from time to time, but if we find it popping up in our lives over and over again, the universe is sending us a message. By continually drawing jealousy into our lives, we are attracting similar conditions so that we learn and grow. That's why it's so important to examine our lives and look for patterns and connect the dots from the past to the present. When we find ourselves living a life script, that's an indicator that there is a lesson we want to learn...
Christian Spiritual Growth - Your First Two...
Are you thirsting for a more intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father? Can you sense in your heart that God is calling you to a deeper level of Christian spiritual growth than you have ever experienced before? God's desire is for the two of you to share a deeper intimacy than you may have ever dreamed possible. But, like any relationship, developing this kind of oneness with God is not something that happens over night - It takes time and work.
