Taoism is a powerful traditional, philosophical and religious vein that has left its mark on the entire area of East Asia. Elaborated over two thousand years ago, Taoist philosophy began to penetrate more and more in the West, starting in the nineteenth century. The term “Tao” is often translated as “way” or “way” (of life), although in the popular Chinese tradition, in a religious or philosophical sense, this term has more abstract connotations.
The principles of Taoism, as a spiritual path, focus on cultivating the three Gems of the Way of Tao: compassion, moderation or temperance, and humility. Taoist spiritual practice is centered on cultivating a state of health and vigor of the whole being, through techniques and methods of unlocking and cultivating energy in the body, in order to obtain an intimate and harmonious communion with nature, with the space in which we live, with the entire universe. The benefits of this behavior also involve some “side effects” much coveted by people: longevity, inner contentment, physical and mental balance, removal of signs of decrepitude due to age, etc. Naturally, a state of inner harmony and consonance with the universe in which we live leads us to perceive the Divine that is at the origin of all creation.
