Being a Teacher, Being a Student

Lately I have been getting more students, Here is an introduction to how I teach remotely (which is different than teaching at a retreat). I don't teach in a western style, I am a Taoist, having developed a style that works with students scattered all over the world. My methods are simple and don't overwhelm me from working with too many people at once.

It's a meandering process. You have actually started now, by sitting down and working on yourself, from your heart. It's not about the teacher. It's about you the student.

Yes I provide guidance, but I am thousands of miles away and you are at your center.. You are taking the right steps now, Understanding you must live your life, take actions of personal kindness and Just do. In this mix my part is making sure to teach how to remove fear, how to extend awareness so each student can take their own steps more easily.

Most questions are worth releasing rather than chasing.

First it is about listening to how the heart accepts your life, how your own breath connects out to touch the world, how your own voice, speaks with joy as you.

I can't count how many students I have anymore, nor can I answer all the questions that fall as rain. I have boundaries to how much in kindness I can share lest I myself fade as rain to steam in the tropical jungle at midday. I answer as required to teach release and trust to your heart to fill in the rest, as it should ... since it's your life.

The process can only begin if you accept Life is your teacher. I, an occasional guide, to share a smile and chat with.

This is all about awareness and kindness mixing over time: together, in friendship, to explore what it is to breathe, to stoke up the heart, to wonder, ponder, to know what life is : by living it as ourselves.

This is how as a Taoist I teach. To get a degree, to shore up ego, then go to the University. If you want to be a Taoist: then live life. Occasionally, as you need: guides, teachers, friends will come and go.. But always to remain connected within heart. Once this process starts not much needs to get said, since in connection you can discover both acceptance and understanding.

This might seem too simple to some. A question or two once every few months is typically what a student will ask me... But it's enough to change and recenter an entire life.

• Consumer based societies like ours train people to always want more ...
  
  
• I re-teach, you already have enough. That in heart you have fullness already.
