To enter Tao Garden is to enter a sanctuary of many dimensions. Created by world renowned Qi Gong, Taoist Inner Alchemy Practice Master Mantak Chia in the jungly environment of northern Thailand, it exists as a lush garden oasis for the body, mind and spirit where the senses are soothed and the heart encouraged to open.
One dimension of Tao Garden is as a Training Center of health and well being where prevention of disease is emphasized and methods of boosting the natural immune system are taught. These include internal exercises and breath work, meditation, Tai Chi and, of course, Qi Gong. Tao Garden is internationally known as a well appointed Health Spa and Resort with a large sun drenched swimming pool, shaded lounging chairs with a complimentary chilled coconut drink, herbal steam bath, exercise room, tennis courts, basketball court and other amenities. You will be delighted with our beautiful new Anyamanee Spa, which includes a fully equipped hydrotherapy pool. The Pakua Clinic, a Holistic Medical Facility has few rivals for the breadth and diversity of medical treatments and diagnosis. Within an atmosphere of mindfulness and efficiency each person can design a regimen guided by a licensed allopathic physician with data garnered by sophisticated laboratory analysis. However, this is no ordinary physician, but one also trained in Naturopathic and Eastern Healing Arts such as acupuncture, meditation and Qi Gong.      The Dining Hall is a healing experience in itself, serving three buffet style meals per day. All dishes are prepared fresh on the premises without chemicals, preservatives or long-term storage. A variety of juices and teas are available all day and the water is ionized water, also known as “Cosmic Water.” Plus, the tranquil atmosphere of the octagon shaped building, its open sides overlooking a still-water pond, make it perfect for dinner conversation or just tea and a good book. The Joy of Juice Club, also known as the Liquid Fasting Center, located between the Pakua Clinic and the Dining Hall, has the ambience of a social club and the mission to provide delicious healthful juice blends designed to delight the palate, heal the body, and satisfy the soul.    Underlying the activities and treatments at Tao Garden are 7 Taoist Secrets of Longevity. ORGANIC DIET: A variety of wholesome nutritious foods combined to balance the 5 Elements according to the individual’s blood type. DAILY EXERCISE: The flowing motions and breathing techniques of Chi-Kung & Tai-Chi Kung gather the chi, strengthen the body, lubricate the joints, nourish and open the heart, & keep the brain active. DAILY MEDITATION: Transforms stress into vitality and helps one find a balance of mind, heart and body. POSITIVE THINKING: Mastering the power of the mind to bring a positive attitude has a profound effect on our physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual health. ELIMINATE EXTERNAL TOXINS: Keeping a healthy lifestyle, and detoxifying the body periodically to get rid of toxic build-up, enhances the quality & length of life. PROMOTE INTERNAL CLEANSING: Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai Nei Tsang are healing practices which release internal blockages, physical toxins, and negative emotional sediments in our internal organs. HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS: The proper herbs in the correct amounts are an elixir for health & longevity. The Tao Garden experience is an adventurous discovery of harmony and peace through good health of Mind, Body and Spirit. Walking around the well tended gardens or arranging for a tour of local scenic sites can remind us that our place in the world can be free of stress and full of beauty. |
