hi, my taoist path is a new one. beginning about a year ago. when my breathing level was in the range of 100-200. and western medicine was of no help. an older friend of mine suggested"chinese breathing exercises"
so , experimenting with various qigongs and also herbs. by spring i was up to 150-250, summer 300-450. and now 500-640. during my research i read amazing accounts of taoists, tcm theory. taichi, baguazhang, i ching. etc!!!
pantheism had struck a chord with me earlier in life . it seems to me taoism has similarity. anyways, i look forward to continuing learning.
