As you probably know, I practiced Taoism very early on in my life. I think I was four when I learned Daoist breathing, qigong, and my mom was later very much into Tai Chi, acupuncture, traditional medicine, and so on. My dad also. To me, Taoism really isn’t abstract Tao Te Ching philosophy stuff, although I love that, but more like survival skills. I was born with a heart defect, so if my heart beat above a certain BPM, I’d faint or go to the ICU. Practical ways to keep homeostatic internal balance is what Daoism really did for me.
