The Northern Dipper (Big Dipper) points to the North Star (Polaris). In Taoism the North Star is at the centre of cycles of change in the sky, in the universe, and in people.  It is still and the whole sky turns around it. In Taoism, and in the Northern Dipper Scripture in particular, the North […]

Moments of Great Unity and Harmony

I like the virtual reunions on Saturday morning, the ones of 1000 participants from the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism, during which we chant for the world.

Osteoporosis and Taoist Tai Chi® practice

Osteoporosis and Taoist Tai Chi® practice

  I have osteoporosis. I was frightened even to walk and couldn’t live a normal life. Taoist Tai Chi® arts have returned my  sense of self and given me power over my life. This practice helps me balance and stretch, creating a place for the bones to go. Without this practice I would be completely […]
Balance, Identifying Worry, and Listening

Balance, Identifying Worry, and Listening

When I joined the Saturday chanting sessions last May, I was looking to remain connected with   Taoist Tai Chi® arts and our participants. But, with the chanting and discussions that followed, I realized there was so much more. The continued focus on self-practice was a concept I had never considered. I preferred to practice with […]
