The International Taoist Meditation Institute offers the unique combination of an ancient origin and a living lineage through the Ni family. The credibility of Taoist meditation is unsurpassed, with thousands of years of history/case studies and modern science documenting its effectiveness. This intensive offers a deepening of meditation practice, and allows for the guidance and support of a living mentor. There is nothing that can replace a living meditation guide in your world, of your world, and present in your process of deepening meditation.
Taoist meditation practices balance the body, mind, & spirit, deepening peace, personal power, and clarity. Supported by thousands of years of case studies and several decades of modern scientific evidence, Taoist meditation practice offers an unparalleled experience of oneself as not only the drop of water in the ocean, but also the ocean in the drop of water.
Taoist meditation philosophy is beautifully unique in its view of not only the human being in harmony, but the human being in harmony with all of existence.
Traditional Taoist meditation practice includes the universe, our environment, and our world in meditation, releasing the human being from egoic isolation and welcoming our symbiotic, harmonious co-evolution with all of creation.
This living lineage, passed down through generations for thousands of years, supplies the wisdom required to give a complete answer and thorough, specific clarification.
The Taoist tradition emphasizes dialogue with a living teacher to be certain there is a complete understanding of practices and philosophy. Through questioning, inquiries, navigation of challenges, and application of meditation practice to daily life, a living teacher confirms your thorough understanding, emboldening your life and meditation practice.
Dr. Mao Shing Ni, L.Ac., D.O.M., Ph.D, ABAAHP, 38th generation Taoist meditator and healer, oversees the sacred meditation teachings of his family with care. The living lineage of the Ni family is a thriving treasure of spiritual wisdom and depth. Sharing these practices with meditators is a gift to the individual, and also a gain to the world. Every living being benefits from inner & outer peace.
"Everyone you meet is a work in progress, including yourself." - Dr. Mao
