Taoist Shaman: Practices from the Wheel of Life is another book from the great Chinese-Thai master of both popular and esoteric physical and spiritual wisdom, Mantak Chia. As with some of his other recent works, he displays the universality of much Chinese tradition that initially seems unique. In the process, wittingly or unwittingly, he throws light on the deceptions of those who claim some special authority…
THE HEALING ENERGY OF SHARED CONSCIOUSNESS: A TAOIST APPROACH TO ENTERING THE UNIVERSAL MIND
October 29, 2011 By
As an enthusiast of Mantak Chia’s work, I have to admit to being initially somewhat disoriented by this book. It seemed to demand too much suspension of disbelief and to deal too much in what I felt were unsubstantiated concepts. This should not have pleased someone who often likes to think of himself as a Taoist. Surely, I should have been able to come to terms with a declared…

Mantak Chia joins with William U Wei, who began studying Taoism with him in the early 1980s, in this exploration of using the Tao to live wisely and well in the contemporary world. Early chapters titled Vision from Within, Journey into Nothingness, The Rock and the Drop of Water, What Not to Do, and Medicine Meals – Foods that Heal invite the reader into a world that is spiritual, inspired, practical and immediate.
THE ALCHEMY OF SEXUAL ENERGY
August 7, 2010 By
This 2009 publication of recent writing by the Thai Chinese authority on Chinese healing and well-being therapies, Mantak Chia, complements earlier writing in a most challenging way. More than ever, it illustrates one of his basic mantras – you do it, you get it… I need to say this book challenged a number of my unquestioned, comfortable certainties in startling ways.
WISDOM CHI KUNG
June 7, 2010 By
Wisdom Chi Kung presented me with challenges I had not previously encountered in Mantak Chia’s books. They all take the Western reader deep into what is likely to be unfamiliar territory, as the human body is explored and explained in ways that seem strange and alien. Yet they use physiological terms and diagrams that work well to reduce the initial sense of an unimagined world.
