Mantak Chia 
Mantak Chia (1944) is de grondlegger van het Universal Healing Tao Systeem.
Geboren in Bangkok Thailand, van Chinese ouders, werd Mantak Chia al vroeg herkend als iemand met een enorme potentie voor spirituele ontwikkeling; op zes-jarige leeftijd werd hij in meditatieve praktijken geïnitieerd door Boeddhistische Monniken.
Als jongeman beoefende hij Thai boksen, kung fu, aikido, tai chi en kundalini yoga. Van Master Yi Eng in Centraal China kreeg hij de taoïstische esoterische formules voor Interne Alchemie door. Mantak Chia werd ertoe geïnspireerd de tot dan toe streng bewaarde geheime technieken in het Westen te openbaren: het transformeren en in balans brengen van seksuele energie, door deze in de meridiaanstroom (Kleine Hemelse Kringloop) te brengen. Dit komt de klierbalans, botstructuur en peeskracht ten goede en bouwt een vitaal fundament voor de emotionele en spirituele training.
Mantak Chia publiceerde tientallen boeken en leerde duizenden cursisten de taoïstische Interne Alchemie. Honderden leerkrachten over de hele wereld werden door hem gecertificeerd. In Nederland zijn er zo’n veertig Healing Tao leerkrachten actief.
De Tao Garden Health Center is zijn thuisbasis in Thailand. Van hieruit geeft hij over de hele wereld workshops en lezingen. Naast de al bestaande 35 boeken, brengt nog steeds nieuwe boeken op de markt; zeven ervan zijn in het Nederlands vertaald.
www.universal-tao.com is zijn nieuws-website, waar ook alle boeken, DVD's, posters en werkmateriaal te bestellen is.
www.pacifictao.com is de website waarop alle DVD's bekeken kunnen worden.

Inner Alchemy Practices by GrandMaster Mantak Chia
The Cosmic Orbit“This is the most basic training of the Tao…! My taoist Master called it the Taoist ‘born-again’ process because we go back being like a fetus in the womb when the orbit was open and connected to the Primordial Force, the Supreme Creating Process.
Everything in the Universe is moving in an Orbit; when our orbit is open we are connected with this bigger orbit and the whole universe. I learned this from my Master; he helped me to open my orbit and he entrusted this energy to me and now, after 45 years of practice and teaching, I know how to help people to open their orbit. Normaylly this process takes many years, but now, often after 1 or 2 days already, students can really feel the energy-flow moving inside themselves. With their orbit open they can achieve better health, better wisdom, better healing and spiritual energy, because they can connect to the Primordial Force.
The Inner Smile
The Inner Smile is a powerful internal healing and relaxation meditation. Deep relaxation dissolves physical and mental tensions that can cause energy blockages and unhealthy Chi. The Inner Smile enhances the energy of the organs and glands, our life force in general, and stills and focuses the heart and mind. It makes us more aware of our body and inner being, because we learn to communicate with our organs, glands, spine and other specific parts of our body, as well as our soul. Taoists discovered that consciousness is rooted not only in the brain, but also in the vital organs and in a more subtle sense, in each of the cells. Smiling to the organs and thanking them for the work they do will reawaken the intelligence of the body. We are often so out of touch with the body and emotions that we do not notice inner disharmony.
The Six Healing Sounds
These sounds and their related postures, are a way of cleansing the negative emotions stored in our organs. Now Western researchers also see that the organs are like hard disks, recording our negative experiences and emotions. Taoists discovered the same many thousands of years ago. Negative emotions are part of us, we see emotions as negative and positive energy. The Tao does not see negative emotions as sinful, but tries to establish a ‘ph’ balance between them. Acid is negative, positive is alkaline, and we are looking for a ph balance between them. However if negative emotions are too extreme then this is harmful…. Too acid ! So every day we look for a balance and stop extremes.
