dao umbilicus

umbilicus People consider the navel a vestigial nub And think nourishment only comes through the mouth. Not so. Tao is the great mother, And vitality untold lies in the region of the umbilicus. The old books call Tao the great mother. Tao provides for us as a mother would. It shelters us, nourishes us, makes our life possible. We are literally tied to the vitality of Tao. Lying dormant inside us are points of concentration. Most people are unaware that concentration on thee points will yield specific forces, cure ailments, alter consciousness, and still the mind. Like a treasure buried in the ruins of a sacred place, these spots only await discovery before they give their owner wondrous powers. One such spot is in the area of the navel. When you concentrate there, you will find that great vitality comes your way. It will be as if you are still connected to your mother through the umbilicus, and power and tremendous physical well-being will come your way. umbilicus 365 Tao daily meditations Deng Ming-Dao (author) ISBN 0-06-250223-9 duckdaotsu.org tao hub support sustain recommended reading** FU BAO SHI Evening Tune 1956 see FU BAO SHI for a complete biography of this artist and his work http://www.chinafinearts.com **Suggested reading of daoist texts ancient poetry and contemporary Chinese literature is available at the site. receive a full HTML copy of the daily meditation sent directly to your inbox, please send a note with the words "subscribe tao" in the subject line to duckdaotsu
