It's worked for over 5,000. years -- the "grandparent" of tai chi, feng shui, acupuncture, martial arts, healing massage, nutrition, herbology, and sexology in China. All rely on "chi", the divine life force, and "kung", our skill in managing it.

"Tao" (pronounced "Dao") means the Natural Way, following what is most alive and spontaneous. Its guiding principle is to follow what is natural to you, and your own inner nature will effortlessly unfold. So everyone unfolds differently. The only person you need to follow is yourself! Many Buddhists, Christians, and Sufis study Tao, because it helps ground spirit into the body.
The Daoist (Taoist) principles of the chi field, the Life Force, are the same for all creatures. It's based on balancing yin and yang forces flowing within the cosmic chi field. Expansive (male) and receptive (female) forces resonate within every body, every society, within every atom of nature. These pathways have been well mapped over thousands of years.

The Healing Tao's lineage for its priceless Seven Alchemy Formulas for Eternal Life can be traced back to Master Lu Dong Bin, famous in China as one of the "Eight Immortals".
