## What is Meditation & Taoist Alchemy?

Comprehensive approach to most effective techniques of Taoist internal alchemy (Nei Dan), meditation, energy circulation (Qi Gong/Nei Gong) accompanied by genuine, condensed, highly valuable, in-depth meditation guide refined by thousands of years of practice of complete internal transformation through internal and external cultivation of body, energy and spirit in a modern day world. The advanced sections of the guide include a never presented before modernized approach to spiritual cultivation by combining Taoist teaching with IFS (Internal Family Systems) methods of working with the mind and the Self.

Presented techniques will guide you through a complete journey of inner cultivation from the level of a complete beginner to the most advanced stages of internal alchemy. The app and the guide were created by an experienced internal arts practitioner, martial artist, practitioner of TCM and IFS. The guide is supported by two decades of personal practice and contains many unique details impossible to find in books or workshops some of which are presented in a completely new light.

Additionally these techniques will help you to: increase your overall energy level; improve your mood, mental and physical health; slow down aging, improve performance in sports and martial arts; reduce or eliminate your stress; gain finer awareness of the body and energy channels; bring calmness, clarity and focus into daily life and relationships; harmonize physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual aspects; over time heal chronic sicknesses, including tumors and cancers; live fuller and more mindful, aware life in harmony with other people and living beings, the nature and its energetic currents; build a strong connection to the higher-self and intuition; gain spiritual insights into daily life and inner work; develop and refine spiritual essence for spiritual grows and enlightenment, align your system with the forces of the Universe and the Tao.

The free version of the app offers limited functionality and a basic meditation guide that should get you started on your internal path. As you progress further, advanced features and guide can be unlocked by inexpensive in-app purchases.

This app features a simple and intuitive interface with beautiful natural sound effects of recorded traditional Chinese instruments used during meditation, rhythmic sound of a wooden block and a Taoist shamanic drum, bells and chimes, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, amazing ambient nature sounds of sea waves, water streams, rivers, waterfalls that help to fine-tune the Qi flow, as well as, unique meditation methods with a burning candle and Dan Tien mantras.

An important and unique feature of this app is the ability to track your progress of silent meditation over the years of practice and inspire your continuous growth. As an optional feature, the app is integrated with Apple Health and records your meditation statistics as Mindful Minutes.

The guide elaborates on the following aspects in great detail:

- posture & breathing
- mind, senses, achieving inner silence
- sitting and standing meditation techniques, from a beginning to a very advanced levels
- Qi energy circulation & Internal Alchemy accompanied by energy flow charts
- lifestyle, food and health recommendations
- advanced guide on inner alchemy, IFS, the Self, aware relationships
