Introduction to the Taoist Alchemical Body

Taoism sees the human body as a scaled down model of the Universe. Within this microcosm exists a human world, including a copy of Chinese bureaucracy. This human body is connected with the macrocosm and adapts to it while at the same time it influences the greater world through Taoist practices, such as rituals and meditation. Taoist Alchemy works with this small body in order to change it and transform the space-time condition of the Taoist alchemical body. In the end this body realizes the union with Dao, the Way. Without knowing this body it is hard to understand the vision and practices of the alchemists. Let an experienced guide as Prof. Vercammen show you the way through this special body by means of representations and images.
