In a live performance, Taoist Lineage Master Bruce Frantzis chants never-before-recorded liturgies in ancient Chinese accompanied by former Kitaro violinist Steve Kindler on the seven-string violin.

During his training as a Taoist priest in China, Frantzis learned 3,000 liturgies, rich in vibrational overtones, as tools to activate and weave together the eight energy bodies in a human being. He is believed to be the only Westerner in the world to have studied this ancient practice.

Frantzis, whose meditation lineage is directly linked to that of Lao Tse—author of the Tao Te Ching—explains in detail how each liturgy he performs can help you achieve profound spiritual states as you meditate or practice energy work such as tai chi, chi gung, or yoga. Listen to these powerful liturgies to move into a deeply relaxed internal space, or just for fun. They can help you cultivate joy, balance, and compassion in your life.

Breathing can transform your life and make you a healthier, more relaxed human being. Dr. Bruce Frantzis has developed a Longevity Breathing program from traditional Taoist breathing methods to help you improve lung capacity, massage your internal organs, and relax your nerves with each breath.

Progression of 24 Sessions
Bruce Frantzis leads you through a progression of 24 sessions that help you extend the length of your breath and fully bring oxygen to the back and sides of your lungs, areas rarely engaged by shallow breathers.

CD-1 teaches you to feel your breath and avoid holding your breath. Next, you learn how to inhale into different parts of your body to strengthen and massage your internal organs and spine. In CD-2, Dr. Frantzis takes you further by teaching you how to lengthen your breath. Taoist breathing techniques enable you to become aware of your emotions and deepen your meditative focus.

This CD set is a companion to the breathing lessons in the TAO Meditation series: Relaxing into Your Being, The Great Stillness and TAO of Letting Go....
