Synopsis The Tao of Mindfulness by : Andrew Townsend
The Tao of Mindfulness explores the practice of mindfulness from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Although fresh and contemporary in his approach, the author has remained true to the roots of this ancient practice by explaining the foundations and principles of mindfulness practice as they pertain to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The book includes detailed discussions on topics ranging from mindfulness, meditation, contemplation, revelations from the Vedas regarding clinging and attachment, Buddhist teachings (or dharma) on pain, suffering, and impermanence, the Taoist approach to living in accordance with natural law, as well as instruction how to be mindful of one's thoughts, desires, speech, actions, consumption, and livelihood.

Synopsis Taoist Mindful Meditation and complementary Qi Gong exercises by : Charles Chan
Do you feel symptoms such as frequent headaches, anxiety, depression, feeling of hopelessness, fast heartbeats, backache, tension on your shoulders and neck, uncontrollable anger, unexplainable rashes, giddiness, dizziness, chronic fatigue, hot flushes, indigestion or insomnia? If you do or if you feel you are constantly bothering by certain unknown pressure, you may be suffering from various stress symptoms. Many scientific studies have shown that mindful meditation brings about positive effects for reducing anxiety, stress, depression and increases tolerance and kindness. Other studies also show that mindful meditation brings about health benefits to the meditators as you learn to observe more calmly, rationally and intelligently without acting impulsively from your survival fight or flight instinct. At the same time, it helps to improve your memory and expand your creativity. Taoist Mindful Meditation advocates letting go, non-attachment, and observation without making any judgement, bias or prejudices. To let go is to observe and position yourself from a neutral perspective which is the true essence of Tao. By letting go of your judgement of right or wrong, you can also let go of your prejudices which led to anger or hatred towards yourself and others. When you can be compassionate to yourself and others, you will perceive the world with a different light, a sense of contentment and spiritual emancipation will emerge from the core of your heart. For the long run, practising mindful meditation will bring about long-term changes in your life. It will improve your mood, increase the level of profound happiness and promote a sense of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. This Book comprises a step by step meditation routine and nine easy to follow complementary Qi Gong exercises and they are enhanced with photos and illustrations for the clear explanation. It is suitable for both novices and advanced students alike.

Synopsis Tao of Letting Go by : Bruce Frantzis
What is known from the Tao Te Ching, I Ching, and other Taoist texts is almost entirely literary. When Bruce Frantzis studied these texts with his main teacher, Grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh, he was taught their practical application: "This is what they say; this is what they mean; this is how to do them." In the TAO of Letting Go, Frantzis offers a bridge to this pragmatic approach for living a spiritual life. Spirituality is not just an aspiration for which people strive, he says, but a genuine, accomplishable reality. Frantzis shows how to expend maximum effort and yet not use force--the gentle way of the Water method--to enrich personal health and energy systems. The Water tradition continues the work of releasing inner conflicts, a process that begins with the Dissolving Method, passed down by Lao Tse in the Tao Te Ching over 2,500 years ago. The author shows how to completely let go of the blockages that bind and prevent the seeker from reaching full spiritual potential. Short, direct chapters and exercises cover such topics as breathing and awareness; Taoist meditation; fog and depression; modern anxiety; love and compassion; and more.

Synopsis 365 Tao by : Ming-Dao Deng
Place the word Tao Into your heart. Use no other words. The Tao is constantly moving, the path that all life and the whole universe takes. There is nothing that is not part of it—harmonious living is to know and to move with the Tao—it is a way of life, the natural order of things, a force that flows through all life. 365 Tao is a contemporary book of meditations on what it means to be wholly a part of the Taoist way, and thus to be completely in harmony with oneself and the surrounding world. Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including The Living I Ching, Chronicles of Tao, Everyday Tao, and Scholar Warrior. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and with two other masters before that.

Synopsis Taoist Meditation by : Thomas Cleary
A curated collection of ancient texts that shed light on the full breadth of Taoist meditation practices The ancient meditation techniques of Taoism encompass a wide range of practices—with an aim toward cultivating a healthy body as well as an enlightened mind. These selections from classic texts of Taoist meditation represent the entire range of techniques—from sitting meditation practices to internal alchemy. Most of the texts appear here in English for the first time. Selections are taken from the following classics: • Anthology on Cultivation of Realization: A document from 1739 (Ming Dynasty) that emphasizes development of the natural, social, and spiritual elements in human life. • Treatise on Sitting Forgetting: A Tang Dynasty text that sets meditation practice in terms familiar to Confucians and Buddhists. • Sayings of Taoist Master Danyang: Wisdom of the Taoist wizard and representative of the Complete Reality School. • Secret Writings on the Mechanism of Nature: An anthology taken from one hundred sixty-three Taoist sources, including ancient classics and works on meditation and spiritual alchemy, along with admonitions and teachings of the great Taoist luminaries. • Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Alchemy Secrets: A treatise on the inner mediation practices that are the proper foundation of the martial art Taiji. • Secret Records of Understanding the Way: A rare and remarkable collection of talks by an anonymous Taoist master of the later Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Traditional teachings with a sometimes strikingly modern bent.

Synopsis Tao Te Ching for Mindfulness by : Tristan Petts
This translation of Tao Te Ching draws on the author's many years of diligent study and practice of traditional Chinese arts under highly accomplished masters in China - arts such as Chinese calligraphy, ink wash painting, Chinese standing yoga, and tai chi. It therefore offers a highly practical perspective on the Taoist principles of living in harmony with nature and achieving more satisfying flow in life. Additionally, this book contains thorough instructions on how to apply the Tao Te Ching's teachings in daily life as part of a mindfulness meditation practice - since the author is a qualified and experienced western secular mindfulness meditation instructor. In this respect, Tao Te Ching for Mindfulness is packed with fascinating modern insights into the ancient Taoist classic text - no matter whether you are a seasoned mindfulness practitioner or just starting out on your journey.

Synopsis The Tao of Mindfulness by : T. Ralph Taylor
This is a follow-up to my first book The Tao Te Ching an interpretive translation. In this book, I look again at the words of Lao Tzu and give some personal insight into what it says for those involved in any way with the creative arts. It speaks equally to artists, sculptors, workers in wood to knitters. Here is an inspiring modern day look at the Tao te Ching.

Synopsis Tranquil Sitting by : Yin Shih Tzu
Tranquil Sitting is the Taoist Master Yin Shi Zi's practical guide and inspirational testament to the healing power and spiritual benefits of meditation and Chinese medical Qigong. The book explores the theory and physiological aspects of meditation and offers practical instruction in traditional meditation techniques. It also documents Yin Shi Zi's personal experiences with meditation, his own self-healing which he attributes to his Taoist practice, and his initiation into the Tibetan tantric practice of opening the crown of the head. Thus giving the reader an idea of the long-term process of meditation practice and the deep healing that can result from it. Faithfully translated from the Chinese, this is an influential text that belongs on the bookshelves of everyone with an interest in Taoist practice and meditation.
