​​Experience the profound benefits of meditative practices from the Daoist tradition. This practical guide by a renowned teacher offers more than 32 guided practices to support emotional balance, enhance qi (vital energy), and cultivate a sense of groundedness and inner peace.

Unlike conventional meditation approaches, practices drawn from Daoism and qigong incorporate both stillness and movement, offering a complete system for holistic well-being of body and mind. Daoist meditation teacher Solala Towler offers 32 practices with a unique blend of ancient wisdom and practical application, including Daoist energy practices, qigong, breathing techniques, and visualization methods that promote healing, vitality, and spiritual awareness. Perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this guide helps you integrate meditative awareness into every aspect of life while maintaining balance between stillness and activity.

Whether you're seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or spiritual growth, these essential Daoist meditation practices--including the Small Heavenly Orbit, Internal Alchemy, and Sacred Space creation, among many others--will allow you to access deeper states of awareness while cultivating vital energy. ​
