I thank foremost those Taoist Masters who were kind enough to share their knowl- edge with me, but never imagined it would be taught to westerners. Such is the Tao. I acknowledge a special debt to H. Reid Shaw for his encour- agement after I had just arrived in America and for his hard work on an initial manuscript. I thank the many contributors essential to its final form: the artist, Susan MacKay, Gunther Weil, Rylin Malone, and all my students for their feedback, Master T.K. Shih, Kim Wang, and Juan Li for their fine artwork; Jeffrey Antin, and Marcia Kerwit for their additions; my assistant Jo Ann Cutreria for typing the man- uscript into the computer and endless help; Daniel Bobek for his long hours at the computer, and Barbara Somerfield for her pa- tience as my publisher. A special heartfelt thanks to Michael Winn for his selfless labors, and for saying so eloquently and insightfully in English what my Chinese does not permit. Without my wife Maneewan the book would have been aca- demic. For her gifts, my gratitude and love. A WORD OF CAUTION Any man suffering from venereal disease or any local illness of his sexual organs or prostate gland should consult a medical doctor and a qualified instructor of Taoist Esoteric Yoga before practicing the methods taught here.

    Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. This is a special edition of Bulletproof Radio. It's recorded in Oman. And Oman is in the Middle East. And I am here with someone I would consider an elder, someone who is a master of his discipline and someone who's very, very well-known. And I'm talking about Mantak Chia, or Master Chia, as he's known who is a leading voice in ... What do you call it? Tantra? Mantak: Sexual Tao. Dave: Taoism. Mantak: Yeah. Dave: In sexual practice. Mantak: Practice, yes. And it actually is part of the work. But the important part is the Qigong. And I've been named two-time Qigong master of the years of the world. Dave: So, world champion Qigong master. You shared at this event called the Inner Journey, where we are, you shared something that I've wanted to interview someone about for 700 episodes. I've interviewed various experts about aspects of sex. But I came across the Taoist teachings about male ejaculation versus orgasm. And I tested them because I thought they would be wrong, and discovered that they worked. But I've never found an expert who could really answer serious questions about that. And the opportunity to interview you came up. You've been on London Real, 60 million downloads. And you're very hard to reach because you're in Chiang Mai in Thailand. So, thank you for coming onto the show. Mantak: You're welcome.

You learn how to control your subtle body movements by using an image (inen or yi nian.) This is even for the most experienced ‘modern’ martial artist often the missing link with the more traditional Wushu and Budo forms.

Taikiken training as it is meant to be, optimizing your natural skills to apply them intuitively in real combat. In the MartriX concept is Taikiken the axis, and is of value for everyone who is really interested in the practicability of internal martial art. The concept is not only effective a real physical fighting, but can be used in everything you undertake in your daily life. This workshop introduces you in the dynamic way of moving and the passion of Kenichi Sawai’s Taikiken. Instructors:Ron Nansink andNadja Kotrchova The program offers a broad set of Taikiken exercises: •Ritsu zen, Han zen, Iron shirt, (zhan zhuang) standing meditation postures • Hai (mo ca bu), walking in friction step •Yuri (shi li), testing the strength developed through ritsu zen •Neri (zou bu shi li) kneading, hai footwork with yuri movements • Mukaete, meeting hand • Shashite, defense and attack simultaneously • Harai-te, parry by twisting • Hakkei ( fa li) exercises to use force in an ‘explosive’ way.

  • About the Authors
    About the Authors Master Mantak Chia Master Mantak Chia is the creator of the Universal Healing Tao System and is the director of the Universal Healing Tao Center and Tao Garden Health Spa & Resort and Training Center in the beautiful northern countryside of Thailand. Since childhood he has been studying the Taoist approach to life. His mastery of this ancient knowledge, enhanced by his study of other disciplines, has resulted in the development of the Universal Healing Tao System which is now being taught throughout the world. Mantak Chia was born in Thailand to Chinese parents in 1944. When he was six years old, Buddhist monks taught him how to sit and “still the mind.” While still a grammar school student, he learned traditional Thai boxing. He was then taught Tai Chi Chuan by Master Lu, who soon introduced him to Aikido, Yoga and broader levels of Tai Chi. Years later, when he was a student in Hong Kong excelling in track and field events, a senior classmate named Cheng Sue-Sue introduced him to his first esoteric teacher and Taoist Master, Master Yi Eng (I Yun). At this point, Master Chia began his studies of the Taoist way of life in earnest. He learned how to circulate energy through the Microcosmic Orbit and, through the practice of Fusion of the Five Elements, how to open the other Six Special Channels. As he studied Inner Alchemy further, he learned the Enlightenment of the Kan and Li, Sealing of the Five Senses, Congress of Heaven and Earth and Reunion of Heaven and Man.

  • Questions on Bone Marrow Cleansing and the Eighteen-Lohan Art | Questions and Answers | Shaolin.Org
    GRANDMASTER WONG KIEW KIT'S HOME PAGE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON BONE MARROW CLEANSING AND THE EIGHTEEN- LOHAN ART QUESTION 1 Is Bone Marrow Cleansing a skill or a technique or both? I believe Bone Marrow Cleansing belongs to the highest level of Chi Kung training. Why is this so? — Sifu Andrew Barnett Bone Marrow Cleansing is a skill. This skill can be attained using dierent techniques. This was a main reason why there were no records of how Bone Marrow Cleansing could be performed, which in turn set a long debate whether Bodhidharma actually taught Bone Marrow Cleansing. Bodhidharma taught three arts at the Shaolin Temple, namely Eighteen Lohan Hands, Sinew Metamorphosis and Bone Marrow Cleansing. There was no debate on whether Eighteen Lohan Hands and Sinew Metamorphosis were taught by Bodhidharma. This was because as Eighteen Lohan Hands and Sinew Metamorphosis refer to techniques which have form, there are records of how these arts were practiced. Let us take as an example "Lifting the Sky", which is the rst technique of Eighteen Lohan Hands. We can show in pictures or words how "Lifting the Sky" is performed. Similarly, as "Flicking Fingers", which is the rst of the twelve exercises in Sinew Metamorphosis, is a technique and has form, we can show how it is practiced. But Bone Marrow Cleansing, being a skill, has no denite form. Hence, we cannot show how it is practiced. An analogy will make this clearer. Executing a punch using the technique "Black Tiger Steals Heart" can be recorded in a picture because "Black Tiger Steals Heart" has form.

But there is a whole other aspect of Taoist cultivation, Taoist spiritual work, which is often referred to as internal alchemy. Perhaps we can begin by talking a little bit about what this internal alchemy really is. Michael Winn: That is my deepest area of interest, one that I have been investigating for the last eighteen years. That's how I got into Taoist practices.
