UHT: Taoist Retreat



UNIVERSAL HEALING TAO SYSTEM

Course from July 24th  to 28nd



A real experience of the wonderful universe of Taoist practices.
Activities schedule:



In this course we will focus on  Master Mantak Chia´s teachings: Universal Healing Tao System.




The course is given by Fernando Liuzzi, Certified Instructor for Spain of Mantak Chia’s school.




- Taoist Internal Alchemy Practices:
Inner Smile, 6 Healing Sounds, Microcosmic Orbit.


The Inner Smile meditation is a very effective way to connect with the primordial force and 
 harmonize our emotions, enhancing the positive aspects and qualities of each of the internal 
organs, which in turn represent the 5 Elements of the Taoist tradition.

Through it, we get in touch with the higher Self and direct a loving and grateful awareness to 
the different parts of our body.
The 6 Healing Sounds refresh and detoxify those organs and help us to release the negative 
emotions that impede the flow of energy and which are the roots from which erroneous 
thought forms are structured.
 
The meditation of the Microcosmic Orbit teaches us the basis of the Chi energy circulation, 
facilitating a distribution of it through the meridians that control the organs and the senses, 
being at the same time the fundamental strategy in the refinement of energy that allows us to 
nourish the brain and higher energy centers. We also learn the main points from which 
to absorb and condense the energy to transform it into a new and fresh vital force.
 
- Tao Yin exercises: The Tao Yin consists of a series of revitalizing exercises that develop 
flexibility, vigor, elasticity and tone. Through its integrating principles, it generates harmony 
in the body, mind and spirit.

- Iron Shirt: The Qi Gong of the Iron Shirt teaches us how to root Mother Earth and how to 
use her energy; to direct, condense and circulate the Chi energy through the different channels
 of the body, thus improving the physical, mental and spiritual state of the practitioner. 
In turn, it helps to protect our vital organs from accidents, injuries and blows, which is why 
it is a foundation for Martial Arts


- Dan Tien Qi Gong: Powerful method of self-healing and strengthening focused 
especially on the accumulation of chi in Tan Tien, which is considered the starting point 
in the path of Tao. This practice is intended to enhance energy and thus activate the processes, 
rhythms, flows and energy transformations of the body in harmony with the Universe.


- Tai Ji Qi Gong: Sequence of Tai Ji Quan of the Yang style of 13 movements focused 
specially to root and develop a good structure, from which to absorb, 
transform and direct the Three Forces: the Universal force that comes from the stars , 
the sun and the moon; the Cosmic force, which comes from the cosmic particles, 
the atmosphere and the environment; and the Earth force, which comes from Mother Earth 
itself. This sequence is inspired by the 8 forces and the 5 fundamental movements 
of Tai Ji Quan.



ADAPTED TO ANY SKILL:
