The Way of Women. The Great Balance

Daoist Yoga Program

Program

Women are a constant source of creation; they carry the ultimate perfection possible within the laws of our space. The profound knowledge of the world is hidden in women, and this is a life source capable of giving women great power. But in order for women to maintain and improve their quality, they need to follow the laws of harmony to maintain a harmonious state and experiences.

“The Way of Women. The Great Balance” is a practical program aimed at tuning, restoring, unblocking and preparing women for alchemical work. The first goal of the program is harmonization, which allows women to free themselves from the temporary, and also helps them to create the necessary conditions that would allow them to interact with the timeless (which is, in fact, the alchemical process).

Since the body plays an important role in the Daoist tradition, this practice focuses on body regulation, on developing and maintaining naturalness, achieving harmony and improving an integrity of the body. The movement towards harmony takes into account the mental, energetic and physical characteristics of the Path of Female Development.

This is a methodological program in the Female trend in Daoist yoga. It focuses on the implementation of the entire scheme of Female development.

Blocks of the program

Daoist Female Practices: Where does one start?

Lecture
‘Daoist female practices’ is an expression often used to represent certain Daoist movements under the guise of ‘The female path’. Actually, this is simply associated with certain women who have reached the peakon their path of practical improvement. In fact, there are no special female Daoist practices, but there are systems of exercises for women and men that lead to a certain level and certain states.
Attunement of the True Body

Practice
Attunement of the True Body is a practice aimed at organizing the female mind, energy and body. It helps create the effort used for solving practical tasks.
The Attunement of the True Body is an important tool for both organizing the practical path for women and understanding the principles underlying development.
The veneration of Heaven and Earth

Practice
The attitude towards the balance of Heaven is the attitude towards the tonality of our nature. This is a ritualized form that allows one to be in tune with the macrocosm, and to fulfil the tasks of perceiving it. Just like Heaven and Earth bring order to our nature, our own attitude to order helps structure our mind. In fact, the veneration of Heaven and Earth is a practical effort aimed at ordering our mind. This is a ritual of honouring the higher mind, or the mind of the Big Dipper.
Unblocking the True Body

Practice
Unlocking the True Body is a complex concept involving the processes of recovery, attunement, and development. Unless we unblock the body, we cannot save energy, which means that during our development, the energy will not be accumulated, but will be spent. Unblocking requires the restructuring and regulation of all processes in the woman’s body, which affect the female mentality, body condition and energy circulation.
Harmonization of the True Body

Practice
Harmonization of the True Body is related to the properties of balance. This effort is understood as the interplay of Yin and Yang, and it forms the core of the True Maiden state aimed at conceiving the immortal embryo. Without harmonization, we can’t achieve real balance in the body or harmonize the true essence in the chest.

Harmonization is a prerequisite for kindling and maintaining the correct fire (hohou) necessary for the preparation and maturation of elixirs. It is also vital for the ripening of the embryo, which is the goal of the Art of the Pure Virgin, as well as forthe ‘embryonic breathing’, which does not require additional effort but is a completely natural process with women.
Personal code

Lecture. Practice
The personal code is a timeless phenomenon offered to our body, mind and energy by space, time and place. The personal code must be comprehended practically so that we can know it, master it, improve it, and even, if necessary, change it.
Fulfilment of the True Body

Practice
The Fulfilment of the True Body is related to the needs of the woman on her path. Fulfilment requires constant practice with the goal of nourishing the body. The choice of the practice used for achieving Fulfilment of the True Body varies depending on the tasks, the state of the practitioner and her level. This choice is based on the principles of nourishment of the Body of Movement, the Body of Rest and the Body of Concentration, and it is also linked to the concept of energy conservation.
Concentration of the True Maiden

Practice
The Concentration of the True Maiden is a special practical meditative process leading to an understanding of the structure of the path. This is an important part of the practical work towards understanding the method for female development. This process attunes the mind and sets it on the path.
Breathing of the True Maiden

Practice
The Breathing of the True Maiden is the natural accumulation of energy linked to the status of the practitioner. It is a manifestation of the special status of women, which is inherent by nature, that must be maintained and linked to the practice. The Breath of the True Maiden is that unique characteristic that makes women alchemists. The potential for internal transformation of energy, although it has its limitations, is inherent in female nature. It must be developed and improved, because without it we cannot move on to deep inner work.
Purification of the Mundane

Practice
Purification of the turbid is an important concept with practical applications. An approach that does not take into account any hindrances and disturbances on the woman’s path and simply hopes the practice will have a purely mechanical formal influence, will rather increase the turbidity and will not clarify either the development criteria or the difficulties encountered on the path. Purifying the turbid is a gradual process of transformation associated with one’s reactions, behaviour, communication, and inner hygiene. It involves three levels of purification: purification of the turbid in the body, energy and mind.
