TAO PHILOSOPHY I CHING PA KUA TAO TE CHING The teachings of these classic Chinese philosophies are based on a great underlying principle; the Tao, or "Way", which is the source of all being. Through the understanding of this principle, all the contradictions, divisions and distinctions of our existence are ultimately resolved. This principle can only be understood through intuitive transformation, the regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan, and incorporating Yin Yang and Chi theory into daily life.

This requires mental, physical and spiritual training and adjustment, through regular practise under the guidance of an experienced master.
