eponymous Posted May 21, 2016 Hi All, I started practising Taoist Meditation (I suppose you would say 'Daoist' here) by reading some of the works of Mantak Chia, and by watching some of his videos on YouTube. Through that I got more interested in Taoist philosophy and Yoga. Taoist philosophy resonates with me because I naturally eschew more fashionable ways of thinking and behaving in favour of a more quiet, peaceful, and happy life. I crave the stillness and satisfaction offered to me through the Tao. I want to use Taoism (through meditation right now) to enrich my spirit, to have a healthy body, and to have a calm and wise mind. I'm at the beginning stage of my journey. But I look forward to this trans-formative process. I hope that being a member of this forum will aid me on my journey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted May 21, 2016 Hello eponymous, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi eponymous, Yeah, getting started is the hardest part. When you get to Taoist philosophy you'll likely be interacting with me amongst many others. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
