Mantak Chia Workshop

We took a 6-day Mantak Chia workshop at Tao Gardens in Chiang Mai, Thailand!

It was such an amazing experience spending time in Master Chia's powerful presence, feeling his chi and building our own, learning so much about taoist practices, how to move energy and access our inner super powers, meeting conscious people from around the world, eating delicious healthy food (3 meals a day), practicing chi gong daily, swimming in the pool, working out in the gym, enjoying the beautiful peaceful environment and the serenity of being in nature. Priceless! 

 Mantak Chia owns Tao Gardens and lives on the property. The theme for the workshop was how to transform negative emotions (stored in the organs) into positive energy. I've always been able to feel energy, so it was good to learn more about how to use it. The energy was so powerful in the room, with everyone building chi at the same time. My experience was that it felt like the ocean, with waves pulling me in different directions.

The main thing I learned was that we have full control over everything: our thoughts, our emotions and what we choose to do with our energy. It's not really anything I didn't already know, I just understood it better and the science was broken down. We are connected to the universe with energy, everything spirals and moves in the same way. It all really ties into belly-dance, so I am inspired to find ways to incorporate this into my teachings.

We stayed at Phoo Na Resort, out in the country side about 20 minutes from Tao Gardens. The owner, Phoo was the sweetest hostess ever! 

Always smiling and made us what ever we wanted for breakfast.
