In recent years, modern science has finally arrived at technologies that are sensitive enough to measure biophotons, bioelectricity, conductivity, resistance and energetic flow pathways in living beings, and the resultant findings have (unsurprisingly!) aligned with the meridian pathways codified by the ancient sages many millennia earlier. How did the ancients KNOW where to map these pathways?
In this episode, I share my perspectives:
• there are other ways of “knowing” and “measuring” that are beyond the external (to us) technologies and tools that we have available today;
• the present focus on materialism has been to the detriment and neglect of our subtler senses and ways of knowing;
• the ancients had an advanced somatic-knowledge, through practices such as Qi Gong (energy work), Nei Gong (inner work), Nei Dan (inner alchemy), Dao Yin (somewhat like yoga), yoga, pranayama (breathwork) and meditation;
• this knowledge was potentiated by living in alignment with Nature, and in observation of her cycles;
• we all have access to subtle ways of knowing and sensing – it is an inherent ability;
• simple ways to cultivate this awareness with Qi Gong and energetic practices you can do at home.

Chapter 1: The Universal Truth
In the past, people practiced the Tao, the Way of Life. They understood the principle of balance, of Yin and Yang, as represented by the transformation of the energies of the universe. Thus, they formulated practices such as Dao-Yin, an exercise combining stretching, massaging, and breathing to promote energy flow, and meditation to help maintain and harmonize themselves with the universe. They ate a balanced diet at regular times, arose and retired at regular hours, avoided overstressing their bodies and minds, and refrained from overindulgence of all kinds.
