In a broad sense, the goal of Taoist practice is to integrate the three centers of the Belly, the Heart and the Head into a coherent flow of energy and information. As this flow becomes more stable, we also open to the energies of Heaven and Earth and become optimally permeable to our social and natural environment. The Belly controls our capacity for physical strength and vitality and is the power center that allows us to master our three dimensional existence in time and space. The Heart Center develops our capacity for Compassion and emotional attunement with all beings. The Head Center is the doorway to experiences of pure Presence and the pregnant Emptiness of Spirit.

I have practiced Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Taoist Internal Alchemy since 1976 and studied with several high level Taoist Teachers including Mantak Chia, Michael Winn, Robert Morningstar, Peter Wayne, Bill Ryan, and Bruce Frantzis. The practices that I teach are a synthesis of all of the teachings that I have received from these wonderful Masters.
