New! Taoism: A Journey Towards Unity

Taoist Lineage Holder Bruce Frantzis:

"This book showcases Paul Cavel's dedication to the Taoist Energy Arts — a commitment I've witnessed firsthand since encouraging him to teach in 1995. Years of earnest practice are infused in the writing, and his desire to share the philosophy and extraordinary potential of these arts with others is truly commendable".

Energy Arts Senior Instructor Bill Ryan:

"When Paul told me he’d written this book on the major precepts of the Water Tradition of Taoism as a “map” for spiritual and other seekers, I was very excited to read it. Paul is sharing, as he writes, “… not a how-to book, but rather a simple overview — a map, a model of the territory which informs all aspects of training Taoist arts.”

Paul Cavel:

"I have been a dedicated student of Taoist Lineage Holder Bruce Frantzis since 1992, having started my training in his system three years prior. Over the last 30 years of teaching the Taoist Water Method with my teacher’s encouragement, my aim has primarily been to provide clarity and direction on the physical and energetic aspects of internal (neigong) arts training.

This text offers a divergence from that stream in order to detail the context in which Taoist energy arts have been developed and are practised today. Indeed, many critical aspects of study are shrouded in cultural references or misinterpreted, which can derail the best intentions of the most dedicated students. Over time, even a one- or two-degree diversion can result in going way offtrack. This is not a how-to book, but rather a simple overview — a map, a model of the territory which informs all aspects of training Taoist arts".

— Excerpt from the Preface

Overview

In this introduction to the Water Method of Taoism, Paul Cavel answers the questions:

• What is Taoist philosophy?
• How are the Taoist teachings realised in practice?
• And why do the teachings of ancient Taoists on health, healing, martial and meditation arts offer the modern seeker the opportunity to unlock their full human potential?

This book includes coverage of Taoist cosmology, the Five Elements, the 16 neigong, the Three Treasures and the Eight Energy Bodies with the Foreword written by Energy Arts Senior Instructor Bill Ryan.
