About the event

Introduction to Xing and Ming Practice Course

Saturdays March 4 and May 20 2023

Every person has a body that contains the fundamental power to function and a governing capacity to lead and control the functioning. Unfortunately, people often waste their vital energy and are frequently led by external impulses that are experienced through the senses. Sometimes these impulses create internal chaos and take one outside of oneself. Being led by them usually leads to loss of control and of essential power. Taoist alchemy uses several ways to transform the ordinary life and the “being lived” by the external in order to realize liberation from the common human condition. With a view to succeed in this, one needs to understand how the vital energy and the governing of the body are connected and how they depend on one another. In the Taoist alchemical view of the body we call these a couple and name them xing (sometimes translated as “nature”) and ming (often translated as “destiny” and “mandate”). They relate to the abdomen and lower back, where your life force resides, to your personality and character, your brain and mind, your feelings, and emotions. Alchemy is active on all these levels with the purpose to make your life fundamentally different, to give you stability, to help you use your brain and feelings in a positive way. Interesting side effects are that your life becomes more easy, longer, and more fun. In this course we teach you the what, how and why of xing and ming practice and you'll learn some fundamental methods.
