We can approach life more intelligently, more efficiently, and go with the flow, “Effortless action” (or the paradoxical “action of non-action”) rather than swimming against it.

  The Taoist diet is more than just a way of eating; it's a holistic approach to nourishment that emphasizes balance, simplicity, and harmony with nature. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, this dietary practice encourages conscious consumption to enhance physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being. Let's explore the principles, benefits, and food choices associated with the Taoist diet. Principles of the Taoist Diet Balance and Harmony At the heart of Taoism is the concept of yin and yang — the idea that opposing forces complement each other to create a balanced whole. The Taoist diet reflects this philosophy by promoting a balance between different types of foods, such as: Yin Foods : Cooling and moistening, including fruits, vegetables, and certain grains. Yang Foods : Warming and drying, such as meats, spices, and some nuts. Simplicity and Naturalness Taoists advocate for consuming foods in their most natural state. This means: Whole Foods : Minimally proce...

  Taoism (Daoism) is an ancient philosophy and spiritual tradition that teaches harmony with the natural flow of life, known as the Tao (道), or "the Way." It offers practical wisdom for navigating modern life's chaos while maintaining inner peace and balance. If you're new to Taoism, here are some key principles and practices to help you apply its teachings in a busy world: 1. Embrace the Flow of Life (Wu Wei, 無為) Wu Wei , often translated as "effortless action" or "non-interference," teaches us to go with the flow rather than resist it. Instead of forcing outcomes, align yourself with the natural rhythm of life, responding with ease and adaptability. Practice: Let go of excessive control and trust the process. Simplify decision-making by choosing the path of least resistance. Observe nature—rivers, wind, and clouds all move effortlessly. 2. Cultivate Simplicity (Pu, 樸) Pu means "the uncarved block," symbolizing a state of natural si...

From< youtube.com > ---------------------------------------------- Ba Duan Jin (八段锦), or "Eight Pieces of Brocade," is one of the most well-known and widely practiced forms of Health Qigong. It is a traditional Chinese exercise system designed to promote overall well-being, increase energy, and balance the body's qi (vital energy). Origins and Meaning Ba Duan Jin dates back to the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) and was developed as a gentle yet powerful method of strengthening the body and mind. The name "Eight Pieces of Brocade" symbolizes the elegance and value of these exercises, as brocade is a fine, luxurious fabric, suggesting the health benefits are as precious as silk.

"The greatest orator, save one, of antiquity, has left it on record that he always studied his adversary's case with as great, if not still greater, intensity than even his own. What Cicero practiced as the means of forensic success requires to be imitated by all who study any subject in order to arrive at the truth. He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for him would be a suspension of judgment." ~ John Stuart

  Summary: Meditation's Benefits By James Byrd, MBA Consistent meditation practice offers numerous benefits, particularly when preceded by exercises like Yoga or Qi Gong, which enhance the meditation's effectiveness. Practicing meditation regularly, ideally in the early hours and even briefly during or after lunch, fosters mental clarity, emotional alignment, and resilience against external influences. The author recalls a childhood practice of resting heads on desks after lunch, suggesting it might have served as a meditative pause to aid digestion—both physical and mental—and to prepare for further learning. Meditation is seen not as self-programming but as a means to nurture self-esteem, aligning individuals with their true path and fostering inner stillness. Source: The Free Library. (2014).

Hexagram 23 I. The Oracle   A. Hexagram twenty-three is related to or has reference to Peeling Off , hence, the splitting apart of something. Another variation would be the idea of peeling off something such as an onion to get to the core of the origin. The time is not correct for drastic movements in any direction; at best stay still and wait on the will of heaven. Again, there is no advantage in whatever direction one might take at this time , if you do, take it slow.    1. Now is not a good time to cross the great water. I say that because as the image depicts, that of the mountain which sits upon the earth. There is no movement with this instance. There is some headway if one recognizes that like the mountain keeping still fares well at this time and yield to the times of meditation and planning for upcoming strategic activities.    2. Splitting Apart: This is the times of Falling Apart. One must at most strengthen his or her presen...
