Llevo 5 años enseñando artes Taoístas (Qi Gong, Tai Chi, meditación y medicina china) en español e inglés a muy diversas audiencias en distintos formatos. Además, soy estudiante y facilitadora de Un Curso de Milagros, terapeuta certificada de Flores de Bach y Access Consciousness – herramientas enfocadas en la conexión espiritual, el desarrollo de la consciencia y el manejo de la energía. Actualmente, me estoy formando como acupunturista, y continúo profundizando en las herramientas que ya tengo a mi alcance, así como vislumbrando expandir horizontes aprendiendo algunas nuevas. Mi enfoque es siempre profundizar primero, antes de comenzar algo nuevo.

En mi proceso he vivido distintos periodos de depresión profunda, ansiedad, ataques de pánico, lesiones, sintomatología y enfermedades variadas, he vivido de primera mano el peregrinaje médico y la frustración de recibir respuestas tajantes e inadecuadas, me he tomado media farmacia con y sin resultados, y he experimentado un sinfín de herramientas y terapias a lo largo de mi camino; todo ello me ha permitido desarrollar mi perspectiva y sobre todo mi criterio.

La meditación ha sido una de las mayores contribuciones a mi proceso de transformación, no sólo ha tenido todos los resultados arriba mencionados, sino que ha potenciado exponencialmente todas las prácticas espirituales y de sanación que he aprendido y practicado hasta la fecha.

De profesión soy Licenciada en Ciencias Ambientales, Master en Gestión de Recursos Pesqueros, y ejercí varios años como tal gestionando proyectos de conservación marina…Pero mi estancia en el templo le dio un nuevo rumbo a mi vida…Y aquí estoy surfeando la ola de la existencia y sus regalos misteriosos.

My first experience with meditation was 6 years ago at the Five Immortals Temple in China. Since I had no experience in meditating at all, I found it very hard to sit still and concentrate on the breathing, not to speak about simultaneously circulating the Qi in my body. At the beginning, I just imagined a warm energy rushing up the spine to the highest point on my head. Next, I visualized how this energy would flow from my cranium all the way down to the perineum. My motto at that time was simple: “fake it until you make it”. What I really appreciate about Daoist meditation is the inclusion of the body. The physical, energetic-emotional and mental- aspects are equally taken into account. This approach is based on the observation that the mentioned layers form an inseparable unit and therefore continuously influence and impact each other. So far, I can say that the outcome of this process has helped me already enormously to cleanse my energies and emotions. Moreover, I look forward to unfolding more hidden potentials with this unique meditative body work in order to cultivate deeper self love and therby be of best service to my community- Mika

Before going to the Five Immortals Temple I had no experience meditating. The first weeks I “ate the ceiling” (as we would say in Spanish), my mind was so agitated that I couldn’t sit still, but persevering I started to feel real peace, my silence, a connection to the infinite cosmos, I felt no separation between us. The feeling was so overwhelmingly marvelous that it hooked me, I wanted to explore it and feel it deeply. Little by little I started having different experiences that amplified my understanding about the potential of meditation. This meditation technique may be challenging at the beginning as there is no movement, no guiding thoughts, voices or mantras, no music…just you and the Dao…But this is exacly what makes it easy and pure at the same time. The gift of this practice cannot be described in words. On a daily basis it allows me to step back every time I feel lost, angry, frustrated, anxious…and return to a state of peace…It has given me perspective, brings me back to the present. It helps me to stay consciously connected to my Spirit, and to feel energized and motivated by such blessing. Even if I just do it for a few minutes…The more you practice the easier it becomes to find the path. When I sit, my being simply knows what it’s seeking and finds it. It has also served as a solid foundation for other spiritual practices. This meditation method showed me the way to my true Self and I’m incredibly grateful to have learned it- Andrea.

Through the practice of Daoist Meditation I could experience silence and quietness. The kind of silence that allows you to see inside you and be part of everything around. For the forst time I could be one, together with my innerself and my surroundings. I could see the light coming from above and around me and feel inner peace. On different occasions I had visions coming from Heaven, where I was sitting on a platform above the clouds and infront of me was a statue of a huge dragon carved on stone, where a brown horse was standing near by. Everything had a silver and golden look, with a feeling of peace and stillness. Over time, my thoughts were more calm and I was more focused on my daily life, the noise in my head was turning down gradually into quietness, and I was experiencing a change on my behavior in a positive way – Yonatan
