the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in the northern Thailand countryside near Chiang Mai, Tao Garden offers year-round Taoist
training plus complementary health services. Both TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine) and Ayurvedic modalities are integrated with limited
Western medical services. Additionally, the Health Spa offers a
full range of Thai Massage, Ayurvedic Massage, Chi Nei Tsang and
Karsai Massage, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and yoga. Also: large
swimming pool, gym and other recreational facilities. Guests enjoy
their time at Tao Garden in the beautiful surroundings of nature
with fresh air, good water and delicious organic diet. Our motto:
good heart, good intentions and good chi! <www.tao-garden.com>
Universal Healing Tao practices are designed to cultivate a
balanced life of love, health, longevity and spiritual evolution.
It is a complete system for our integrated physical, energy (emotional),
mental and spiritual bodies. The focus is on developing and refining
our life energy, chi—our bio-electromagnetic life force—for
self-healing and life enhancement. Tao means way: the way of nature
and the universe, the natural way. The way of the Tao
is a process of ‘returning' to Wu Chi, the primordial all-conscious
void. Whereby, the practitioner consciously senses the personal
chi within the body, and then the chi of Earth, nature and the Universe.
We establish a relaxed, healthy base of life in our physical/social
environment. At the same time, we strive to achieve spiritual independence
and merge into oneness with the Wu Chi. Taoist history
goes back to the time when everybody was living in nature and in
caves. They discovered what we call the Wu Chi, the Original Force
or Primordial Force. In those times, the Chinese started connecting
with nature and feeling the forces of nature. “In the Taoism
of my lineage,” says Master Chia, “the origin goes back
to the Wu Chi, the Supreme Natural Power in the universe—in
Western terminology, God. It means ‘nothingness,' but it is
filled with ‘Dark Matter,' the subtle sub-atomic entities.”
Humans also store part of the primordial force. Starting from the beginning of conception when the egg and sperm come together in the first cell-this cell has the power to draw the primordial force down, combine with it and form what comes to be a human. Just as when the first cell divides and multiplies, the subsequent copies from the original retain the capacity to draw in the primordial force. The practice of the Inner Smile and the Six Healing Sounds will help to reunite with this force. When the human body is
formed, the sexual organ cells store part of the primordial force.
The heart stores part of the original spirit (yuan shen) of the
primordial force. The right kidney stores
part of the primordial force that supports life and gives more life.
When we combine our love, compassion and orgasmic sexual energy, a harmonizing
resonance effect arises at the synergistic frequency of eight Hertz. In this state of activation,
our cells will draw in the primordial force and a process of cellular
intercourse occurs. DNA is transcribed in the nucleus and translated
via RNA in the cytoplasm. Cells divide and combine, giving birth
to new and improved cells. This cellular intercourse will also occur
when we have stored enough of this combined sexual energy (jing)
and then combine it with love and compassion energy. The kidneys
store part of the primordial force and connect with the earth force,
which also has the same eight Hertz frequency. There
are many rooting Chi Kung practices in Taoism to help ourselves
to be energetically rooted into the earth in order to access its
primordial force. Earth force is combined with the universal primordial
force so that it is a source of the major force that is closest
to the quality of human force. The Heavenly Primordial Force and
the Earth Primordial Force combine with Human Original Primordial
Force (such as the combination of creative life forces at human
conception of the first cell). Thus, we can give our new cells'
DNA the support of the creative life forces that nurtured our first
cell—original reproductions, but genetically enhanced versions
through the power of ‘positive personal engineering'.
The Tao believes that
our Earth is the energy center of the galaxies of our universe.
This point of view is supported by the most advanced scientists
of today in the field of quantum mechanics. According to quantum
theory, one quality of subatomic particles
is ‘non-locality.'
Thus, with zero-point
fluctuation as the underlying mechanism acting on
quantum entities
and causing one entity to affect the others—it means that
every part of the universe can be in touch with every other part
instantaneously. These scientists believe that the ‘Zero Point Field'
is the all-pervasive ground state
throughout the universe. So,
it really doesn't matter where we are—we are still at the
center—and each person is at the center of the universe! We
are well-positioned and well-suited for the all-important process
of drawing upon the primordial force for our life maintenance, refinement
and evolution. Fortifying ourselves with this essential resource
enables us to manifest the amazing wonders of our human birthright.
And so, according to the Tao, the universe sends energy to us and
to Earth so the earth can support life. Our earth stores a major
part that we need in order to fulfill our birthright. Our planets
also have a lot of influence on us, and all the planets store some
of the elemental qualities of Primordial Force that we need to access
in order to complete our inner
alchemy transformation. My master, Yi Eng (I
Yun—means White Cloud) finally decided to go to the mountain
and practice things in this way. He was practicing and searching
for all the masters in the mountains. Finally, he met my grandmaster,
and he learned the whole system that he passed on to me. The master
gave no initiation, no celebration, nothing at all—just pure
practice. The nine formulas of Taoist internal spiritual cultivation that I teach were originally transmitted to me by my master, Yi Eng. It took many generations of masters to refine their amazing experiences into nine practical stages of inner alchemy. He told me to teach these to Chinese first and then to Westerners. White Cloud left his body at age 96. INTEGRATING
IMMORTALITY Sexual Essence, Inner Child and the Immortal Spirit Body
Using White Cloud's structure, I have added my own refinements based on study with many masters as well as my studies in Western anatomy, astronomy, astrology, medical science and of the advancements in the field of quantum sciences-combined with my experience of over forty years of practice and teaching. NINE
TAO INNER ALCHEMY FORMULAS OF IMMORTALITY All
of the Inner Alchemy practices are involved with activating and
restoring the Primordial Force back to sufficient quality and quantities
for our health and spiritual development. INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA I PRIMORDIAL FORCE ACTIVATION Basic
Practices I In order to activate the Primordial Force, we need to purify the organs and learn grounding to the earth. The most powerful force that can be used to support us is the primordial force of Earth. Taoist practice is involved with the yin/yang, the PH balance of acid and alkaline. It is also the balance of negative and positive emotions—we do not look at negative as sin.

Chi Kung:
INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA 2 BASIC SEXUAL ALCHEMY PRACTICE Sexual Alchemy I Sexual
organs and the kidneys store part of the Jing, the essence of the
primordial force. Learn how to conserve and store it. More sexual
energy will help to attract and multiply the primordial chi. Men
learn how to control ejaculation and to transform the sexual energy
into chi (life force) and then transform it up to spirit force.
Women learn how to control menstruation and transform the blood
into chi and likewise transform it up to spirit force. Eventually,
there will be less blood lost and more will be converted into chi. INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA 3 FUSION:
5 ELEMENTS & 8 PAKUA FORCES
Eight-sided Pakuas are created and used to draw the
organs' energies into their spinning centers. These energies mix
with and are transformed by the elemental forces of nature, the
planets and the eight primordial forces. In
the practices of Fusion I, II and III, by blending—fusing—all
these forces together in the Pakua, any negative emotional qualities
or imbalances from the organs are neutralized. The organs' energy
is transformed in the fusion processes. The transformed energy becomes
a more refined, balanced quality of energy that is stronger and
attuned to a higher quality. It is used to attract more primordial
force—like coming into ‘oneness with God.' Fusion
I Fusion of the Five Elements I: Establish
the vibrating essence of the trigrams of the eight primordial forces
in pakuas. Neutralize negative energies from the organs with primordial
forces of the pakuas. Form a pearl of condensed energy to circulate
in the Microcosmic Orbit. Fusion II Fusion of the Five Elements II: Fuse
positive energies and create powerful positively charged pearls
of life force, chi. Use them to open the inner thrusting channels
and the outer protective belt channels. Work with energy circles
to broaden the scope of primordial force access and protection.
Fusion III Fusion of the Five Elements III: Use
the chi pearls to open and connect the Bridge and Regulator Channels,
and then open more protective channels for the spine, head and body.
Use all of these to further refine and protect the energy body. DARKNESS RETREATS
Master
Chia now teaches the Inner Alchemy Formulas 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the
Darkness facility at the Universal
Healing Tao Center and Tao Master School at Tao Garden Health Spa &
Resort. He taught Lesser, Greater and Greatest Kan and Li in 2002-03.
Sealing of the Five Senses was added to the schedule in 2004.
Take advantage of our
Darkness Retreat technology here at Tao Garden. Participants stay
in the absolute darkness atmosphere during the full week(s) of their
training. This yields the best results due to the natural changes
in the biochemistry of the brain, the relaxed atmosphere, enhanced
inner focusing and the enriched energetic atmosphere of group meditations
led by Master Chia. Share the subdued excitement of experiencing
newly discovered realities in an ambience of friendly camaraderie
among kindred spirited participants from around the planet.
‘Dark matter' is not dark. The “dark matter” that one encounters in the prolonged Darkness Retreat is matter that is void of charged particles and therefore cannot be seen with our normal vision. It can interpenetrate with visible matter. Think of it as ‘atoms' which are held together by a ‘force' other than electromagnetic force and that these ‘atoms' are not visible to our normal vision, yet they can interpenetrate with visible atoms. Varieties of finer matter exist not only in the world without, but they exist in man also. Our subtle bodies and subtle matter are composed of various forms of uncharged “dark matter.” Time-space relationships are dependent upon the type of matter one is conscious of or experiencing. The sense of time and space associated with these various forms of subtle matter are different from that associated with visible matter. When one acquires an awareness of his/her subtle bodies, there is light galore, but it is not the light seen with our physical body's eyes. There are objects and scenes of magnificent beauty and distinct beings in beautiful light body form as real in appearance as people in our physical form. There are infinite fascinating possibilities that one may experience. In the Darkness Retreat you will learn and practice techniques that make it possible to experience the universe from the perspective of your subtle bodies. You can observe the “dark matter” with your “dark matter” subtle body vision. You may see within and/or beyond. Explore
your unique and wondrous possibilities within—whether it be
journeying through DNA memories, having a spontaneous healing occurrence,
profound emotional revelations, lucid dreaming, inner light experiences,
seeing in other dimensions through the inner ‘third eye,'
or perhaps flying beyond the highest mountains and out among the
stars. Fascinating and inspirational new experiences arise in Tao
Garden's comfortable ‘five star' Darkroom accommodations.

INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA 4:
Inner
Sexual Alchemy II (Fire &Water) Reunite
with the Primordial Force. The heart stores part
of the primordial force (yuan shen). The sexual organ also stores
part of the primordial force. When these two combine together, they
will form a more complete force. This process establishes a powerful
‘steaming' effect in the tan tien cauldron at the level of
the navel center. This is used to cleanse, purify and strengthen
the organs and brain to better attract the primordial force. Our
spiritual fetus is established in the tan tien. The equinoxes and solstices
that mark the changes of the seasons provide special opportunities
to get a boost of energy in these Kan and Li practices. The
vernal equinox at the beginning of spring time is when the yin and
yang energies are balanced between the cold water energy of winter
and the hot fire energy of summer. The light of day is balanced
with the darkness of night. As the cold of winter yin moves to the
heat of summer yang, the earth opens its energy of the warm moist
growing power in abundance. It is a great opportunity to be open
and interact with it to receive the perfectly balanced quality of
water and fire energy. So, humans can make use of this special offering
of the primordial force from the earth for the inner alchemy in
resonance with our kidney/sexual energy and our heart energy that
we are missing. This is a special time to get a huge boost of the
earth's primordial chi. INNER
ALCHEMY FORMULA 5:
Sun,
Moon and Planets Alchemy (Fire &Water) Further
Reunite with the Primordial Force. Another cauldron is established
in the solar plexus center to draw on the yin and yang forces of
the sun, moon and planets to further amplify the processes begun
in the lower cauldron.
INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA 6:
By manifesting the intention
to connect the relevant heavenly bodies to the appropriate parts
of one's body, we attract the cosmic primordial forces needed for
our inner alchemy to further develop our energy (soul) body and
spirit body. This more refined alchemy in the heart cauldron enhances
and furthers the steaming processes of water and fire, yin and yang,
energies begun in the lower cauldrons. The autumnal equinox
at the beginning of the fall season is when the yin and yang energies
are balanced between the hot fire energy of summer and the cold
water energy of winter. Again, the days and nights are balanced
as the days become shorter. As the heat of summer yang moves to
the cold of winter yin, it's a good time to get extra benefit in
the Greatest Kan and Li practice of drawing the missing heavenly
primordial force into the body. In resonance with the tendency of
the weather, the cells of the body are contracting and drawing inward
from the cool dry weather after the expanding heat of the summer.
The soul body is yin energy, and the spiritual body is yang energy. The soul body (yin) serves as an earth cable and absorbs the yang energy from the heavenly ‘wire' to the soul body and down to the human body. It also absorbs the earth energy to balance the yang energy absorbed from the heavenly (spirit) body. INNER
ALCHEMY FORMULA 7:
Finally,
we add another cauldron to the head, the upper tan tien. This cauldron
is located at the mid-eyebrow point. It unifies the five shen, the
five streams of personal consciousness that operate through our
senses, with the five forces of the collective Stellar Self. The body of our stellar
mind can be viewed in the four quadrants of fixed stars in the night
sky, originally symbolized by heraldic animals (Black Turtle, Red
Phoenix, Green Dragon, and White Tiger). The fifth, the quintessence,
is the Purple Pole Star in the center of the sky, with the Great
Bear of the Big Dipper marking the progression of the seasons as
its handles rotates like the arm of a cosmic clock. These personal and stellar essences are fused in the upper tan tien in the cauldron at the mid-eyebrow point. This is the process of our Inner Sage attaining the celestial level of immortality. The pure open space connecting the three tan tien cauldrons (at the navel, heart and mid-eyebrow) is integrated. This stabilizes the celestial axis. Profound peace and different spiritual qualities continuously manifest from this activated core and radiate sonically into our physical becoming. We hear the current of inner sound. Our soul pattern expands its conscious destiny to include dimensions of life beyond the physical plane. INNER ALCHEMY FORMULA
8:
This
practice integrates the Early Heaven or formless Self with the Later
Heaven (Earth) physical Self. The Self here identifies itself here
with two dimensions that co-exist and co-create: the “formless
form” of our being and the “substantial form”
of our becoming. These two polar dimensions
of our greater Self engage in cosmic sex. They couple in order to
re-open the portal to their Original state, or “Pre-Self”.
This pre-state or Primordial Heaven is called hundun, the primal
chaos-unity that preceded the “big bang” of the cosmic
egg cracking open. The Three Originals (san yuan) of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are gathered in the three body cauldrons as original ching (jing), original chi, and original shen. This three-tone harmonic chord is resonated with the fundamental or original tone of time and space. Consciousness then stabilizes in the axial center where our true multi-dimensional nature can now be embodied. This is symbolized by a tonal double vortex spinning faster than the speed of light within the void of space. Into this is fused our inner sage's immortal presence, the quintessence of humanity meditating in the center of a cosmic torus (spiritual black hole). We must enter this portal to complete our journey of Return to the Origin. INNER ALCHEMY
FORMULA 9:
This
is the true achievement of the authentic or Immortal Self, a permanent
state of grace known as wu wei, effortless action, or spontaneous
action without acting. Creation (of the manifest) and Return to
Formless Origin seamlessly complete each other. Attainment of this
ninth level is spontaneous, and happens when the inner will of our
immortal sage within has reached complete alignment with the Tao.
It may occur only by direct transmission from the Tao to the mature
and receptive adept. Writing
and editorial assistance by Dennis Huntington GLOSSARY By Dennis Huntington TAO:
Taoist: An individual who subscribes to and practices the methods associated with the pursuit of the Tao is referred to as a Taoist. There are many steps along the way to attaining this underlying state of exalted being. Hence, there are various practices for health, healing, refining and longevity to support ourselves with sufficient energy and time to accomplish the goal. Going back thousands of years in China, people have accumulated and refined ways of cultivating the integrated physical body, energy body, mind and spirit for a balanced healthy, happy life in pursuit of the Tao. Taoism: Various combinations of practices traced to Taoist roots. However, through time and diversity in different areas and with the impact of different social, religious, philosophical and political influences—different schools of thought and practice have proliferated. Various combinations of practices traced to Taoist roots and these other traditions are referred to as Taoism. Historically, a body of literature has accumulated that provides a base of reference for the roots and principles known as the Tao. Among the many Taoists to whom Taoist authority is attributed are Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Tan Jing-sheng and Huang Ti, the Yellow Emperor. Paradoxically, as Lao Tzu tells us in beginning his Tao Te Ching: “The Tao that is voiced is no longer the Tao. The name that has been written is no longer that of eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of the cosmic universe. The named is the mother of the myriad creatures.” Science is providing us with a deeper knowledge of what is, but the Tao is still beyond words and knowledge. It can only be truly known by direct personal experience. Primordial Force: Taoists
long ago—before the modern scientific discoveries of electromagnetism,
electric energy power and quantum field mechanics—recognized
subtle invisible forces in their subjective personal experience.
They classified these forces in nature and the universe in terms
of their category of effects in humans (physical, energetic, mental
or spiritual qualities). Since they experienced the effects of the
invisible forces and energies in the practices and found tremendous
benefit for completing their inner alchemy, they called it the Supreme Natural Force, Original Force or Primordial Force. When
they accessed it to apply it in the processes of inner alchemy they
also referred to it as Primordial Chi. This use of terminology is
analogous to the usage in modern life to ‘electromagnetic
force' and electric energy when the force is activated and used
in some application—the term ‘energy' is used to identify
its effects in action, like chi is used by Taoists. Sometimes ‘force'
and ‘chi' are commonly used loosely and interchangeably. See
the summary of ‘Dark Matter' for further clarification of
the nature of Primordial Force/Chi. Inner alchemy:
In order to attain this highly evolved state of experience and being,
the state of existence beyond the restrictions of time and space—immortality—Taoist
practitioners strived to discover what was missing and needed. They
recognized that they needed to change the conditions and qualities
of their normal everyday physical life. Master Mantak Chia's lineage
of Taoists, the ‘Inner-Alchemy-Just-Practice Taoists,' learned
to change the quality of their inner state of energy in order to
more effectively access the original quality of energy, primordial
chi, that all of existence is derived from. This begins with the
simple process of transforming the normal negative emotional energies
in the vital organs into the positive qualities. This changes the
PH balance between the acidic and alkaline states, producing a more
favorable quality of body chemistry, hormone balance, etc. This
is part of a highly refined process of inner change in the inner
state and quality of one's being—inner alchemy—which
evolves to higher levels of refinement and experience stage by stage
by the individual practitioner. Many practices combine to achieve
the desired results. Therefore, we have Master Chia's “Nine
Tao Alchemy Formulas of the Immortal Self.” Herein, ‘Tao
Alchemy' refers to the practices that collectively bring about important
qualitative improvements in all aspects—physical, energetic,
mental and spiritual—within each practitioner's life, culminating
in the nameless TAO! DARK
MATTER — PRIMORDIAL FORCE/CHI About 90% of the universe is Dark Matter. Starting from the Big Bang, 10% of matter, recognized as the Physical Universe, came into being. These estimates are the result of recent measurements and calculations using the latest advancements of space technology and its methods of detection. Basically, from the point of view of the prevailing physical science establishment up to the present era, the physical universe was everything. Space was just ‘empty' space, a vacuum—nothingness with no content or form. Until recently there was not sufficient technology or base of knowledge as to the nature of subatomic quanta (wave/particles) or how to detect them in a free state in nature. During the 19th century our understanding of electromagnetic phenomena was pioneered, and the knowledge that electricity and magnetism were related phenomena and that light was a form of electromagnetic energy was established. In the 20th Century, a new picture of matter and the atom emerged in quantum mechanics. The chemical properties of matter became attributable to electrical charge—the same electrical charge found to be responsible for light in the previous century. From the point of view of the electric field, the atom appears solid, but from the point of view of mass, the atom appears very empty. Quantum mechanics showed that not only do we see objects because of electrical charge (and not because of the properties of mass) but also we can hold and feel objects because of the properties of electrical charge (and not because of the properties of mass). The detection of “dark matter” has to be made indirectly, through the observation of its gravitational effect. Because it has mass, “dark matter” can exert a gravitational pull on visible matter. So, looking into outer space with our most sophisticated instruments we can observe gravitational influences on distant stars, gas clouds, nebulae, galaxies and other celestial phenomena, but we cannot see the matter which produces the influences. The existence of uncharged particles is not new, but the discovery of “dark matter” seems different from what is known to date in that it makes up at least 90% of the universe, and is apparently stable. What we normally think of as the 'galaxy' -- the pinwheel of stars -- is in fact only a part of the entire structure. It is surrounded by, and immersed in, a globe of unseen dark matter that makes up at least 90 percent of its mass. The real story of the Universe, it seems, is in its “dark matter.”
There are two broad categories for the explanation of “dark
matter.” It can be burnt out stars -- white dwarfs or black
holes, or, it can be matter which is not composed of electrically
charged particles. This simple property makes this matter invisible
to our normal vision, and also would give “dark matter”
the ability to interpenetrate with visible matter, i.e., it could
pass right through visible matter. The property of “interpenetrability”
of this type of “dark matter” with visible matter strikes
a chord with the subtle matter of the mystical traditions.
SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS Mysticism is a discipline involved with knowledge and techniques which are of value in assisting the individual toward spiritual growth. It is a very pragmatic discipline, concerned with direct experience, or awareness of spiritual truth, of ultimate reality, etc. Spiritual methodology is not based on external experimentation, but internal observation. As an age old tradition which continues to develop, mysticism is expansive, covering numerous concepts and doctrines.
Spiritual Traditions from India and Tibet Humans
are composed of several interpenetrating sheaths or subtle bodies,
which are made up of matter from different planes, each of different
relative density. The densest of these sheaths is what we normally
regard as our physical body, the body that is visible to our normal
vision. The other sheaths are not visible to our everyday vision.
The second sheath is a subtle, fine-material sheath known as the prana [chi (qi)] or etheric body. This gives the visible body life and consciousness through the prana/chi. In western mysticism, the astral body is noted in addition to the etheric body, and is apparently combined with the pranic/chi subtle body. The next even finer sheath is our ‘thought body' or ‘personality,' our mental body. This body is necessary for rational and intellectual thinking. The fourth sheath is the body of our potential consciousness, which extends far beyond our active thoughts. It comprises the totality of our spiritual capacities and is apparently equivalent to the soul in western mysticism. The last and finest sheath [fifth], the spirit body—which penetrates all the previous ones—is the body of the highest, universal consciousness. It is only experienced in a state of enlightenment, or in the highest states of meditation. These sheaths are not separate layers forming around a center, but are mutually penetrating forms of matter, from the finest matter down to the densest form of matter, which appears before us as our visible body. The corresponding finer or subtler sheaths penetrate, and thus contain the grosser ones. Just as the material body is built up through nourishment, while being penetrated and kept alive by the vital forces of the prana/chi, the body of active thought-consciousness penetrates the functions of prana in the same way and determines the form of bodily appearance. Soul body, mind body, prana/chi body, and visible body, however, are viewed as being penetrated and motivated by a still deeper and finer matter, spirit [shen in in Taoist terminology]. This ‘finer spirit matter' penetrates these grosser bodies and stores up the material that our thought and imagination draws its substance from. It is therefore only the spiritual body that penetrates all the five layers and thus integrates all organs and faculties of the individual into one complete whole. In mysticism, the finest matters appear to be associated with the deepest truths, or spiritual understandings.
Prana—or Chi (Qi) in Taoist Terminology Along with these sheaths or mystical bodies are the en |
In
my lineage, we call ourselves the ‘Inner-Alchemy-Just-Practice
Taoists.' People in this lineage usually learn from many systems—such
as Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and the science of today's
world. Highly refined states of inner experience and consciousness
are the birthright of all humans and are accessible by all! Inner-Alchemy-Just-Practice
Taoists combine all the things that are effective. They take out
what is not necessary, including all rituals and ceremonies. They
go to the mountains, practice and come down to teach and help people.
This
stage is the integration of the eight previous levels of consciousness
into the experience of living simultaneously in the present moment
in all dimensions, from physical linear time to spirit's eternal
time.
