Life Dance with Master Tao

If you've ever watched Tao at an Expo or had a personal session with him, you were probably amazed as he tuned-up physical bodies in such a way, they could immediately experience the energetic life-dance of yin - yang. Or perhaps you are yoga-trained, qi gong-trained, a massage therapist, or licensed physical therapist, who heard a befuddling story from a client who, after experiencing some expedient catharsis during a session with Tao, demonstrated a naturally relaxed flexibility you didn't think was necessarily ever possible.

As a Taoist master, Tao is also a master of medicine -- demonstrating, in healing sessions, the learned and intuitive knowledge of the body-mind knots, weights, and frozen armament which hold the originally flexible inner soul imprisoned in a tightly bound all-too-familiar sickened human condition. A condition whose roots extend far beyond the physical body. Such a bound-up soul is unable to sound a genuine spiritual note, much less engage in the spacious natural dance of Love between itself and spirit as living yin and yang.

Life Dance sessions with Master Tao are about attuning to the living.

About Master Tao Huang

Tao was born and grew up in Dingxi (Settling West) County in Northwest China. Master Huang was destined to be a healer or shaman according to a prophesy revealed at his family graveyard. In significant previous incarnations, he was twice a Buddhist and spent two lives as a Native American shaman. He began ch'i-kung practice during his teenage years, right after the Cultural Revolution, and healed many of his own physical ailments.

Ironically, while visiting the United States at the age of 24 on an exchange program, he discovered Taoism and became interested in other spiritual disciplines, including Christianity and Buddhism. After returning to China a year later, he searched for a temple where he could pursue Taoism. But after a short period, and on the Winter Solstice of 1988, he instead received his heart-sealed awakening through Lao Tzu, who directed him to move to America and deliver Taoism to the West. Later he was he ordained into the 26th lineage of the Dragon Gate School where he received the teachings of the talisman, Yellow Court, inner alchemy and mystic practice.

He emigrated to the United States in 1990 to offer the teachings of Laosim and the practices of Taoism under his spirit name, Valley Spirit. He is the author of a number of books, including Spiritual Anatomy: Your Journey Through Nehemiah's Dream Gates, Laoism: The Complete Teachings of Lao Zi (Lao Tzu), The Secrets of the Tao Te Ching, and Door to All Wonders: Application of the Tao Te Ching. He is currently working on a new book, Angelic Wings, which deals with the divine romance of yin and yang.

Master Huang founded the Ascending Hall Taoist Temple and is also the editor-in-chief of the seasonally-produced e-zine Mountain SKYLIGHT: A Journal of Inner Alchemy and Mystic Path.
