Alchemy of Chinese Herbs

Herbs and roots are life-nourishing.

They are sustenance as well as medicine,

and convey nature’s forces. 

Through their connection to the natural world, herbs and roots of Chinese medicine imbue their resonance with these forces within us.

Regulated by the rhythms of Yin and Yang, influenced by the 5 elements (sun, soil, minerals, water, and other trees and plants), and through their ability to adapt to the climatic factors of heat and cold, wind, dryness and dampness, herbs renew our resilience.

Chinese medicine has a long history of practices that propagate life; practices to nourish and prolong life through our mental-physical-spiritual oneness with nature. Such concepts and knowledge of creating rarified, spiritual states of being and longevity have passed through Taoist lineages, preserving the Three Treasures Jīng, Qì and Shen.

Instructions to the Yellow Emperor

Xi Wangmu’s Instructions

to The Yellow Emperor

Drinking and gobbling up food, your body will never be light. Fretting and worrying, your Spirit will never be pure. Craving sounds and sights, your Heart will never be calm. Without calmness of Heart, your Spirit will never be numinous. Not numinous of Spirit, the Tao cannot work its wonders. Success is not in homage or worship, which rather make you suffer and exhaust the body. www.ElementalChanges.com Immortal Ma GuSuccess is in deepening the Spirit powers of your Heart. There is no effort needed, the Tao of Immortality is there!

NOW YOU CAN LIVE LONG
