Welcome To Personal Tao

A Personal Tao is my online home as a Taoist Teacher helping others learn Taoism and find inner harmony.

A Personal Tao is a book, a collection of Taoist reference materials, art, a blog and a Zen Garden: all coming together as a modern guide to the Tao. Explore the Tao to help open new personal insights about life.

Be welcomed to wander and explore. Taoism is never about a destination, rather it’s about experiencing life within the journey itself. Exploring Taoism is learning to embrace the heart. My personal favorite spot here is the Zen Garden.

The Personal Tao site is always growing with additional works of Taoist art and literature. If you know about a resource or would like to share your experiences, please contact Casey.

The path to understanding the Tao is accepting yourself.

 

Heaven and Hell are not after life
Heaven and Hell are within life.
It’s in movement we create joy
It’s in despair we cement walls.

Step over limitation.
      Openly reveal, peel apart & feel poetry
      moving around every barrier
             Overflowing to your own nature.

Never regret action
     as the past lies
     in fleeting memories.
To Live, eternally, now
      within the way  
      of exploring possibility.

The secret to life is…
     Simply being true to yourself and smiling
     Looking upon each day,
           with the new wonder it deserves.

What is Taoism?

Taoism is more than a philosophy or a religion. A Personal Tao is defined as:

A system of faith, attitude and practices set towards living
to your inner nature rather than what others try to shape you into.

Zen Garden

The Tao’s definition always slips around words, becuase how we see life is also constantly shifting. This means the Tao is both indefinable and yet by living our life fully we can then discover our own Personal Tao…

The Tao is about 10,000 things and is truly about being yourself.

The practice of Taoism is to flow with life.
