Although fresh and contemporary in his approach, the author has remained true to the roots of this ancient practice by explaining the foundations and principles of mindfulness practice as they pertain to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The book includes detailed discussions on topics ranging from mindfulness, meditation, contemplation, revelations from the Vedas regarding clinging and attachment, Buddhist teachings (or dharma) on pain, suffering, and impermanence, the Taoist approach to living in accordance with natural law, as well as instruction how to be mindful of one's thoughts, desires, speech, actions, consumption, and livelihood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have bipolar disorder, you struggle with psychological balance, swinging between highly depressed and highly manic states. For you, finding the middle path can be a challenge, which is why the Tao understanding of energy can be so helpful. “Tao,” is a Chinese word meaning “the way” and a metaphysical concept for understanding the universe as a circular flow of energy. The Tao understanding of bipolar disorder is that symptoms are the result of a disrupted or imbalanced energy flow that can be brought back to harmony with dedication and practice. In The Tao of Bipolar, you will reconnect with your essential, stable, balanced nature, which, according to the Tao, is the inherent state of all matter. In the book, you will learn to manage your energy with meditation and other techniques so that you can always return to their stable center. While you may lose touch with the center during bipolar episodes, this book encourages you to use mindfulness and meditation to consciously shift your energy back to this center before a bipolar episode gets too extreme. When it comes to bipolar disorder, managing emotions, preventing manic episodes, and dealing effectively with periods of depression is key to your mental health and well-being. This book will give you the tools you need to get your bipolar disorder under control, and get back to living life. Once you learn to manage your moods, you can function normally and experience far less suffering from the disorder, even when you do have bipolar episodes.

This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel symptoms such as frequent headaches, anxiety, depression, feeling of hopelessness, fast heartbeats, backache, tension on your shoulders and neck, uncontrollable anger, unexplainable rashes, giddiness, dizziness, chronic fatigue, hot flushes, indigestion or insomnia? If you do or if you feel you are constantly bothering by certain unknown pressure, you may be suffering from various stress symptoms. Many scientific studies have shown that mindful meditation brings about positive effects for reducing anxiety, stress, depression and increases tolerance and kindness. Other studies also show that mindful meditation brings about health benefits to the meditators as you learn to observe more calmly, rationally and intelligently without acting impulsively from your survival fight or flight instinct. At the same time, it helps to improve your memory and expand your creativity. Taoist Mindful Meditation advocates letting go, non-attachment, and observation without making any judgement, bias or prejudices. To let go is to observe and position yourself from a neutral perspective which is the true essence of Tao. By letting go of your judgement of right or wrong, you can also let go of your prejudices which led to anger or hatred towards yourself and others. When you can be compassionate to yourself and others, you will perceive the world with a different light, a sense of contentment and spiritual emancipation will emerge from the core of your heart. For the long run, practising mindful meditation will bring about long-term changes in your life. It will improve your mood, increase the level of profound happiness and promote a sense of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. This Book comprises a step by step meditation routine and nine easy to follow complementary Qi Gong exercises and they are enhanced with photos and illustrations for the clear explanation. It is suitable for both novices and advanced students alike.

Book excerpt: This translation of Tao Te Ching draws on the author's many years of diligent study and practice of traditional Chinese arts under highly accomplished masters in China - arts such as Chinese calligraphy, ink wash painting, Chinese standing yoga, and tai chi. It therefore offers a highly practical perspective on the Taoist principles of living in harmony with nature and achieving more satisfying flow in life. Additionally, this book contains thorough instructions on how to apply the Tao Te Ching's teachings in daily life as part of a mindfulness meditation practice - since the author is a qualified and experienced western secular mindfulness meditation instructor. In this respect, Tao Te Ching for Mindfulness is packed with fascinating modern insights into the ancient Taoist classic text - no matter whether you are a seasoned mindfulness practitioner or just starting out on your journey.

Book excerpt: What is known from the Tao Te Ching, I Ching, and other Taoist texts is almost entirely literary. When Bruce Frantzis studied these texts with his main teacher, Grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh, he was taught their practical application: "This is what they say; this is what they mean; this is how to do them." In the TAO of Letting Go, Frantzis offers a bridge to this pragmatic approach for living a spiritual life. Spirituality is not just an aspiration for which people strive, he says, but a genuine, accomplishable reality. Frantzis shows how to expend maximum effort and yet not use force--the gentle way of the Water method--to enrich personal health and energy systems. The Water tradition continues the work of releasing inner conflicts, a process that begins with the Dissolving Method, passed down by Lao Tse in the Tao Te Ching over 2,500 years ago. The author shows how to completely let go of the blockages that bind and prevent the seeker from reaching full spiritual potential. Short, direct chapters and exercises cover such topics as breathing and awareness; Taoist meditation; fog and depression; modern anxiety; love and compassion; and more.

Book excerpt: The ancient meditation techniques of Taoism encompass a wide range of practices—with an aim toward cultivating a healthy body as well as an enlightened mind. These selections from classic texts of Taoist meditation represent the entire range of techniques—from sitting meditation practices to internal alchemy. Most of the texts appear here in English for the first time. Selections are taken from the following classics: • Anthology on Cultivation of Realization: A document from 1739 (Ming Dynasty) that emphasizes development of the natural, social, and spiritual elements in human life. • Treatise on Sitting Forgetting: A Tang Dynasty text that sets meditation practice in terms familiar to Confucians and Buddhists. • Sayings of Taoist Master Danyang: Wisdom of the Taoist wizard and representative of the Complete Reality School. • Secret Writings on the Mechanism of Nature: An anthology taken from one hundred sixty-three Taoist sources, including ancient classics and works on meditation and spiritual alchemy, along with admonitions and teachings of the great Taoist luminaries. • Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Alchemy Secrets: A treatise on the inner mediation practices that are the proper foundation of the martial art Taiji. • Secret Records of Understanding the Way: A rare and remarkable collection of talks by an anonymous Taoist master of the later Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Traditional teachings with a sometimes strikingly modern bent.
