About Tao Health Center
Tao Health Center’s mission is to
provide practical and profound resources for health improvement and personal
growth and empowerment.
The
superior class of healing governs the nourishment of destiny and
corresponds to heaven. If one wishes to prolong the years of life
without [the difficulties of] aging, one should use these.
Shen Nong Ben Cao
Tao Health Center was founded as a
resource for those who strive towards reaching there full potential as
human beings. The central principle is that of Tao (Dao), literally
“the way”. Tao denotes the underlying principle of the cosmos and is
reflected in our own inherent intelligence. Understanding of and
adherence to Tao as a personal path is the key to human happiness and
fulfillment. We connect to Tao through Qi (vital energy). By
improving the flow of Qi through our bodies we allow ourselves to connect
to Universal Qi, which is the manifestation of Tao. This connection is
the basis of true health and wellbeing. Connection to Tao brings with
it a profound sense of integrity, deep relaxation and bountiful energy.
The Tao
that is spoken is not the true Tao.
Lao Tzu
Tao is not
something that can be revealed as doctrine but is instead accessible in
each on of us as a personal knowledge. It is a personal experience and
it is our hope at the center that we can help individuals to achieve
this experience through the therapies and techniques we offer.
The teachings at the Center are oriented by the classical Chinese
philosophy of the
three treasures or san bao – essence
(jing),
energy (qi) and spirit (shen). These treasures are reflected in the
Cosmos in the relationships between Heaven, Earth and Humans. At the
Center these principles are reflected in our commitment to strength,
wellbeing and transformation. more
Strength - The human body can provide the foundation for unlimited potential
when appropriate strength is achieved. Strength goes far beyond muscular
ability and has much to do with being in accord with one’s own being,
their personal Tao. Tao Health
Center
supports individuals’ search for personal strength on a physical,
energetic and spiritual level. We believe that personal strength is a
prerequisite to and the foundation of personal growth.
The yiquan and
tai chi
taught at the Center are means excellent means for increasing strength
as well as improving one’s general health and vitality.
