What is Patterning?

The practice of patterning is an art combining fact, faith and perception into an interactive experience. I have posted a section of testimonials to better describe the practice of patterning: each person having a different story and perspective from the practice. For me, patterning is a direct expression of how I explore life.

Patterning is a very ancient part of Taoism. Many confuse this practice to be just divination. I renamed the practice to Patterning to reflect its truer and larger nature. One simple example of Patterning which many people would be familiar with is I Ching. However, from a Taoist perspective I Ching is just a small example of the larger practice.

When I first explained patterning I wrote the simple introductory poem on top of this page as a brief description of the practice. In many respects it's still my favorite description.

So what is patterning?

It's a practice helping people open up to new possibilities. Helping to reveal what is hidden in a person's life and then helping that person move ahead in a way that enriches and improves life.

To some it could be Applied Science when I use my experiences from studies of biology, physics, math, engineering and psychology.

To some it could be divination when mixing in aspects from Taoist I Ching practice, Tarot and Rune Lore.

To some it would be religious expanding upon your personal keystones of faith and including wisdom from Taoism and other cultures.

To some it would be a spiritual practice as it touches upon the mysteries of life in moving terms.

To some it could appear as magical when trusting to intuitive insights towards connections which seemingly would be impossible for me to know.

To some it's as simple as common sense when calling upon personal experiences gained as a father and from living.

To some it will always be a mystery as the full process is never predefined nor predictable.

To some it will become a mirror when together we pull in and include your own knowledge and experience to the process.

It's a moment without judgment consisting of acceptance.

I pull all these aspects together to weave a shared vision with which you can see new possibilities. Patterning reveals your truth as you are shown life in terms you can finally find peace within.

This isn't a practice based within any mysterious power, in fact it's the exact opposite: a practice founded upon embracing the fullness of our humanity. As a Taoist Master, I have learned to open and refine my abilities to reveal our connections in life.

Patterning bridges the gap from so many different angles of the human experience that it helps others open up to new visions of their own life. To me, it's a system of weaving patterns I have been refining for over 30 years. It's about exploring life in an ever wondrous process.
