About Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu - Sign-up for the Course

Laozi, also rendered as Lao Tzu and Lao-Tze, was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. He is the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, the founder of philosophical Taoism.

The Tao Te Ching was written around 2,500 years ago by Lao Tzu and it is one of the oldest texts in existence and certainly one of the wisest. Its wisdom is timeless and its message is as relevant and important now as it was back then - if not moreso.

It is vital that we learn to come back into balance with the natural world, to live in a more harmonious and selfless way.

Deeper meaning meditation on Tao Te Ching.

The Three Treasures of Tao Te Ching – Jing – Creative Energy (The Candel) , Qi – Life-Force Energy (The Flame) , Shen – Spiritual Energy (The Light).

The message that is at the centre of the centre of the Tao Te Ching brought to us by Lao Tzu.

If Jing is the wax and wick of a candle, and Qi its flame, then Shen is the radiance given off by the flame – what allows it to actually be a source of light. And in the same way that the light from a candle depends upon the wax, wick, and flame, so does healthy Shen depend upon the cultivation of Jing and Qi. It is only through the temple of a strong and balanced body that a radiant Spirit can shine.

Shen is the spiritual radiance that can be seen shining through a person’s eyes – the emanation of a universal loving-kindness, compassion and enlightened power; of a heart brimming with wisdom, forgiveness and generosity.

Tao Te Ching meditation by Lao Tzu Chapter 11, Emptiness is what we use

    Q and A

    What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want is in your head?

    So many of us struggle with change because our focus is on the external. The Tao Te Ching tells us we are transformed by renewing our minds – not redoubling our efforts. This means the breakthrough we seek doesn’t come as a result of our own striving. It happens when we bring our beliefs about the divine, others, and ourselves into alignment with our true-self.

    Explore your spiritual core. By exploring your spiritual core, you are simply asking yourself questions about the person you are and your meaning. Ask yourself: Who am I? What is my purpose? What do I value most? These questions will lead you down a road where you will think more in-depth about yourself and allow you to notice things about yourself that will help you achieve fulfillment.

    At the end of the day, your life is a byproduct of your truth – and you are the only one who determines what you believe. This means you don’t have to be trapped by your past circumstances, mental struggles, lies that have been spoken over you, or out-of-control emotions.

    Change is possible, when your beliefs change, so will you.

    This online course is designed to walk you step-by-step through the process of renewing your mind. You will learn how to lead your thoughts and emotions by identifying false beliefs and replacing them with liberating truths. This process will enable you to finally see the change you’ve been searching for – allowing you to discover deep joy as you begin stepping into your divine potential.

    The journey will challenge you to the core. Are you ready to be transformed from the inside out?
