Site Feed School of Awakening Dragon
|
In Taoism, the dragon is the symbol for the essence of the spiritual half of the cosmos. The dragon breath in-takes the chaos of the unformed potentials of the Tao and breathes out the order of our very nature. |
The focus of Awakening Dragon is to re-connect and re-integrate with the spiritual aspects of life.
Modern western culture has focused almost exclusively upon the physical (Tiger)
aspects of nature, to the degree the dragon is merely a myth within western culture.
Without our spiritual half, life becomes meaningless and without direction. The
school of Awakening Dragon concentrates on helping students discover a balance between
mind, body and spirit.
Ask yourself: "How do you define spirit?" and after you
decide on your first answer, then ask: "What are your actions that fulfill and
support your definition of spirit?"
School of Awakening Dragon Taoism is taught in three levels.
- Acceptance
- Awareness: Embracing Inner and Outer Truth
- Transformation

Acceptance
The first part of the practice is discovering Acceptance.
Acceptance cannot be obtained by gathering more knowledge.
The route of knowledge, while powerful, is an endless chase for more knowledge.
Acceptance is the hardest of the three levels to learn. Without acceptance: the understanding
of inner and outer truth becomes impossible. Without acceptance, a person cannot transform
their nature beyond flesh and blood.
Awareness: Inner and Outer Truth
The second aspect of Awakening Dragon is opening one's awareness and learning the nature of truth.
Taoism, more than any other faith or philosophy, concentrates upon the relative nature
of the self. Awakening Dragon Taoism both removes ego and embraces ego in order
to reveal a person's full nature.
This is the process of discovering kindness and connection to a larger world.
Meditation is one of many tools used to help a person open into a larger awareness
of their life.
Transformation
Transformation is not a goal, it's part of every day life. To live is to change.
Awakening Dragon teaches how to harness the nature of change and direct it in a
spiritually fulfilling manner. The true potential of transformation is limitless
by the very definition of transformation.
However, in the rush to improve life, people often transform into something they
don't like. For this reason School of Awakening Dragon
only teaches transformational
practices after a person understands and accepts their
own nature.
In this manner, personal transformation becomes soulful, spiritual and a process
of living to wonder.
Practices taught within Awakening Dragon Taoism
Most people confuse purpose to be found within a set of practices. This is a false
assumption and often the reason most seekers stumble within the search of meaning
for
their life.
Awakening Dragon Taoism understands each person will need to blend in a unique
set of practices to support their nature. We teach QiGong, Yoga, meditation, dance and
many other forms of practice as an initial baseline to enable each student to find
what works best in their life.
Becoming a Student of Awakening Dragon Taoism
This school teaches at the pace of life. This means as a student you learn at your own life's pace. This isn't a stressful experience of trying to memorize the hidden secrets of someone else's teachings. Rather this is a process of learning of how to release into your life fully. To become a student in Awakening Dragon Taoism is to accept the challenge to be yourself in full potential. Not to be measured to the standards of others, but to the inner truth and needs of your own heart.
