This online training is the most thorough introduction to the process of self-development you can imagine. In a clear and inspiring way, we introduce some of the most fundamental frameworks and concepts of Taotraining, such as the Inner Landscape, the five forms of consciousness and voluntary boundaries. Each one gives a deep insight into yourself, the other, and the world around you. In addition, you'll learn to work with some of the most important techniques and disciplines within Taotraining, such as I-Force, Inner Smile, Chi Kung, Iron Shirt, Dream Training and Sexual Kung Fu. You will also gain insight into the “sleep debt” phenomenon and how to repay it. Last but not least, we consider extensively what 'training' really means and how to take the scholar into and integrate it into everyday life.
Basically, this module focuses on developing the six basic skills in the Inner Landscape: how to enter, stay, move, experience, steer and máákt. In this module, we focus on training what the Taoists call First Fire, or life force. The main benefits you'll reap from this workout: you get less stressed, more relaxed, healthier and more vital.
Dream practice
Training the Black Column. Training the ability, besides knowing it. Dream training is an essential night-time part of the workout to balance the waking workout. You're going to activate lucid dreams, wake up in the dream. This has the effect that you are more 'awake' during the day and can consciously provide guidance to your life.
Iron Shirt
You're building an energetic structure. Not by training your muscles, but by activating the connective tissues, opening meridians and kneading them in the right orbits. Iron Shirts exercises are the most basic techniques Taoists have in house.
Chi Kungs
With Chi Kungs, you can keep the Inner Landscape clean and the body healthy. You could see it as energetic brushing teeth. There are endless Chi Kungs, all of which have a different effect on both the Inner Landscape and the manifested body.
Movie and Book Tips
Each module provides inspiring film and book tips from Reinoud Eleveld that support the material. When you look at them archetypically, they have a role in the Black Column Training and Dream Training.
Where to start?
The path of the modules is very well thought out. We advise everyone to start at number one and then continue to train chronologically. However, this is not mandatory. Up to and including module four, you can purchase and train any module at any time. That's safe and fine.
After the fourth module, you need to have a solid foundation to get started safely with further techniques. If you want to start module five, you must have completed all four first modules.
