A fascinating guide to the mental, physical, and esoteric spiritual transformative Taoist practices designed to increase longevity and unity with the world-with commentary and interpretation on the traditional text by a contemporary academic and meditation practitioner.

Taoist alchemical practices are renowned for their mental, physical, and spiritually transformative benefits-including longevity and increased connection to the world around us. In this guide to Master Huang Yuanji's Taoist classic, Ge Guolong presents the basics of inner alchemy and the tradition's most essential meditation practices-along with explanations of the fundamental theories and methods one needs to actually start walking the path.

Historically, Taoist teachers borrowed complex terminology from astrology, numerology, and metallurgical alchemy to describe the process of individual transformation that occurs as a result of long-term meditation practice. Ge Guolong demystifies that classical terminology, illuminating Taoism's straightforward and eminently practical philosophy. These vivid explanations of Huang Yuanji's discourses-a Taoist master from the late-Ming, early-Qing Dynasty (1636-1912)-are particularly striking for their clarity, relevance to day-to-day life, and close relationship to the philosophy of such works as the Tao Te Ching and Chuang-tzu. Synthesizing numerous streams of Chinese philosophy and elucidating their lived practice, Taoist Inner Alchemy is as an excellent entry point to discover the riches of traditional Taoist thought and meditation.
