Trainings & Practices

Through sitting, standing, and moving, meditational, practices, Taoists became more easily aware of both Nature on Erath as well and the Universe "in the heavens" thus increasing their ability to move and easily adapt through life with less effort and force and more in tune with the current of Life. Here are the most foundational of those practices.

SITTING MEDITATIONS

Tao Basics

Taoist sitting meditations encourage practitioners to develop greater internal awareness and sensitivity to bodily sensations, energetic flows, and subtle movements of qi. This heightened awareness can deepen one's understanding of the body-mind connection and facilitate self-healing and self-transformation.

STANDING MEDITATIONS

Strengthening the Body's Structural Integrity

Iron Shirt one of the major standing practices is a practice within Taoist energy arts aimed at cultivating internal strength, resilience, and vitality. They involve specific exercises and postures resulting in increased physical strength and resilience, better posture, balance, and coordination.

MOVING MEDITATIONS

Greater Ease of Movement in Daily Activities

Tai Chi, is a centuries-old Chinese martial art that has evolved into a mind-body exercise practiced worldwide. It combines gentle, flowing movements with deep breathing and mindfulness to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Regular practice improves balance, coordination, and proprioception, reducing the risk of falls, especially in older adults. The gentle stretching and twisting movements in Tai Chi promote flexibility and joint mobility leading to greater ease of movement in daily activities.

BRINGING INTO ALIGNMENT AND TRANSFORMATION

Cultivating Sexual Energy

Taoist sexual trainings and practices, also known as the Healing Love, differ quite differently from how we typically view sex in Western culture. Taoism views sexual energy as a fundamental life force during one's lifetime and believe that's cultivation improves health, vitality, and  longevity. With the potential to create life itself, it's considered as the most potent self-activated energy we possess. Taoist practices aim to cultivate and preserve sexual energy, not by avoiding sexual activity, but rather by managing and transforming it. Body techniques and specific meditations are used alongside physical exercises resulting in a heightened awareness  and deeper connection with our sexual energy and our ability to conserve, expand, and transform it.

RESOURCING YOUR ANCESTRAL INHERTANCE

Family Systemic Constellation

In the esoteric schools of Taoism a distinction is implied between Soul and Spirit. Where as the Spirit refers to that part of us that separates from the body at the time of death, the Soul is that part of us that we share through our family bloodline.  

Family Systemic Constellation, is a therapeutic approach that originated in the 20th century developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, that address the Soul.

In Family Constellation sessions, individuals or groups work with a facilitator to explore and address issues within their family system. The primary aim is to restore within the family, as well as the family's ancestry, the natural life dynamics that allow for the full expression of the Spirit in it's current relationship with the finite world.

A METHOD OF GROUP DIALOGUE THAT EMPOWERS

Men's Circle

Men learning to master their sexual energy through the Taoist Healing love practices at some point must  redefine their place and purpose in the world. For men the sexual drive has been the dominating force oft times regardles s of the other equally important drives in his life. This requires uncovering the inner truth of each man that connects him to destiny and purpose.
 Socrates, known for his skillful use of questioning, instead of providing direct answers, is one of the basic premise of the Socratic method adopted into the ManEvolve men's discussion group. Answers are never given to anyone in the group. Only questions are allowed that are curious, and genuinely interested, in understanding one's current reality, beliefs and reasoning. The process goes further by employing a dialogue method that allows each man to arrive at a place of choice and empowerment to act or not act.

 

Founder of Man Evolve Groups

Richard Anton Diaz

At the age of 27, I realized my true nature as an Infinite Being and needed to make an important  decision to live either a monastic life or a life fully engaged in the world as a finite body. I chose the latter and began, what would be a 25 year-long career, as a professional competition Ballroom dancer. Upon retiring in 1995 I immediately began studying Taoist teachings and training with Taoist masters, I was very attracted to the importance that Taoist placed on the body's health and longevity, its trainings and practices in sexual energy cultivation, and its formulation and conscious development and evolution of the Spirit. 

"Few things are worse than flying across the country to attend a long workshop, only to discover that the teacher is scattered or only vaguely grasping their topic. That’s the exactly opposite of Anton, who has lived and sees a fresh examination of our collective views on sexuality as vitally important to human evolution. Anton is one of the top crucial voices and educators in human sexuality."

- Scott Olgren,
CEO of E3 Live Nutraceuticals 

"Anton's wise council has been a transformational force in my life. He listens with the 6th sense which allows me to hear my authentic voice.  Often in my conversations with him I have come to an awareness of limiting beliefs that have been guiding my decisions and creating pain for many years. His presence allows me to become aware of the limitations that I impose on myself and shed them with love and grace.  I highly recommend Anton to anyone who is looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and their loved ones."

- Rita Gendelman,
Family Constellation facilitator

" As his student for many years now, Richard Anton Diaz has been an immense mentor, teacher, and instructor, that has had transformative impact in my life.

    He is a masterful and highly gifted teacher, a community leader, and man of great integrity and character. His disarming candor is a welcoming quality from other coaches I have worked with that equal his teaching skills, patience, and delivery, of the information as well as the being able to apply it."
