Transcend Loneliness: Journey Home To The Divine (Audio Course)

Welcome to this course, Transcend Loneliness: Journey Home To The Divine. If you’ve been experiencing loneliness and would like to cultivate wholeness in your being, this course is for you. In this spiritual journey which is rooted in Daoist philosophy, we will explore the challenges of loneliness, how modern society can exacerbate our feelings of loneliness, and how loneliness can show up differently based on your Five Element Archetype.

You’ll learn about the difference between loneliness and emptiness, as well as other important and relevant daoist concepts such as Wuji (the Void), WuWei, Effortless Action and how they can empower you to transcend loneliness to cultivate wholeness within you. Through contemplation, meditation and other practices, you’ll learn how to embrace the power of emptiness to cultivate and reclaim the wholeness that is already present within you.

This course was born out of my intimate relationship with loneliness, solitude and emptiness, one I have been contemplating for more than twenty years now. This journey will equip you with the tools, techniques and concepts so you can find solace, comfort, and feel connected to and supported by the Dao, the Divine.

Earth: Wu Ji Limitless Standing Meditation

Earlier in this course, I introduced to you the concept of Wuji, the great void, which in Taoist philosophy and Chinese cosmology, was believed to be the origin of the primordial universe.

Today’s practice is a Wuji standing meditation to empower you to embody emptiness so you can embrace your infinite potential.
