Within you right now is an entire Universe that’s identical to the outer Universe...
This scalable inner version of the Universe encompasses everything — your tiniest cells, your major organs, the Earth’s life-giving elements, and the vast intelligence of the Cosmos.
And Inner Alchemy is how you can engage this vast intelligence in a conscious and evolutionary way…
The Taoists first discovered Inner Alchemy principles more than 5,000 years ago, according to Grandmaster Mantak Chia, an internationally celebrated grandmaster of Qigong who’s trained tens of thousands of students, Qigong masters, teachers, and practitioners worldwide.
As Grandmaster Chia teaches his students, to become connected to the outer Universe, we must first gain control of our own Qi (energy flow).
Join Grandmaster Chia for a comprehensive 15-week course that builds on all of his previous courses — to balance your inner and outer Universes as you cultivate the harmonious evolution of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies...
Grandmaster Chia expands on the wisdom of his previous courses to present a series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy practices to balance your internal organs, increase physical energy, release tension, and cultivate radiant health and wellbeing.
Through a 3-part process, your body will become more open so your self-healing powers can fully take hold:
1) Balancing negative and positive energies (Fusion of the Five Elements)
2) The growth of positive energies (Cosmic Fusion)
3) Opening energetic channels to make them receptive to outside energies (Fusion of the Psychic Channels)
This advanced course with Grandmaster Chia has three parts:
Part 1: Fusion of the 5 Elements I is the first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy for self-healing and emotional and spiritual development. You’ll learn to control the creation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body.
Part 2: Cosmic Fusion II is an advanced level of Inner Alchemy. You’ll learn to bring the physical body into balance with the energy body the positive energy — to detoxify, nourish, and integrate the physical and energy body with the forces of nature.
In Part 3: The Fusion III Meditation, you’ll open the greater bridge and regulator channels — spinal cord, head, and heart — using Grandmaster Chia’s cutting and drilling techniques to clear energy blockages. You’ll protect your body from external energies by sealing the senses and aura and receiving the higher frequencies of the Universal force.
Drawing on timeless Taoist wisdom, you’ll learn to balance the five major negative emotions (anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear) with your strengths, cultivating your ability to heal yourself and others.
You’ll dive deeper into the Microcosmic Orbit, which runs up the spine and down the front of the body as the pathway through which the distilled essence of your energy flows. This pathway connects the three bodies — physical, soul, and spirit — within you, and ultimately fuses them into one immortal body.
As you progress through this powerful, integrative course, you’ll further develop emotionally and spiritually, be able to resolve self-conflict, and activate self-healing. You’ll have a greater command over your own inner Universe and as a result, deepen the love you have for yourself and others.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, each emotion is associated with a pair of organs in the body, which is then linked to one of the Earth’s five elements. An excess of an emotion can cause disease in the associated organ, and the imbalance in one will cause disharmony in another.
Tao meditations and practices, like The Inner Smile, for example, can help balance and release the negative power, replacing it with the positive energy of love, joy, and happiness.
In this 15-week transformational journey, Grandmaster Chia will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to increase your physical energy, release tension, and cultivate a long, healthy life filled with joy and purpose.
You’ll connect with Grandmaster Chia and experience his teachings through livestreaming video via any connected device. This connection is easy to use and will enhance the impact of Grandmaster Chia’s transmissions. Can’t make it live? After each class, you can stream the video and audio recordings to enjoy anytime and anywhere at your convenience.
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Grandmaster Chia. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to fuse the five natural elements of the external world with your physical body for emotional balance, happiness, and health.
Fusion of the Five Elements I is the first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy for self-healing and emotional and spiritual development. Grandmaster Chia will guide you as you learn to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body.
Fusion of the Five Elements uses pakuas (symbolic representations of the eight forces of nature) and energy collection points to balance, connect, and draw out negative emotional energies found in the organs.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain in this opening class, these energies, along with their corresponding glands and sense energies, are then fused and transformed into pure, life-force energy.
The purity of this energy has a magnetizing quality that allows it to condense into a ball of refined energy that is called the pearl.
The pearl is then used to connect to the Universal, Cosmic Particle, and Earth Forces — whose energies become part of the pearl.
A soul or energy body is formed from the pearl, enabling you to go beyond connecting with the forces of the Universe on a purely physical level. Later, the pearl returns to the organs and glands to enhance them and provides protection to the physical and soul body...
In this first module, you’ll explore:
The Taoists believe that a dark violet light is the universal color that illuminates the whole sky. When you connect to this living light, you tap into a profound sense of love, joy, and happiness...
Conversely, when you emanate love, joy, happiness, you also attract more of this universal violet light.
One of the first things Grandmaster Chia’s own masters taught him was to close his eyes and look into the Universe’s darkness. In this class, he’ll pass this wisdom onto you...
In this module you’ll:
When the Taoist masters turned their attention toward understanding the nature and connection between the forces of the outer Universe and the forces of the human body, they made another discovery...
... each life born into the human form is developed, structured, and influenced by a group of stars.
This group of stars, which includes the planets and cosmic particles within its configuration, controls the individual’s life-force, good and bad fortune, and birth and death.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, each day of your life reflects a continuing need to absorb energy from the stars and planets and from the cosmic particles. To explore the patterns of star energy in detail, ancient Taoists developed and refined the science of astrology.
In addition to the energy from the stars, the Taoist masters found that humans require another source of natural energy — the energy supplied by the Earth’s force. The absorption of all natural forces nourishes the nervous system, organs, glands, senses, soul, and spirit of a human being.
In this module, you’ll:
Did you know everyone has extra hearts they don’t use, according to the Taiosts?
In this session, Grandmaster Chia will explain several different elements of anatomy and dis-ease prevention from a Taoist perspective. For instance, a cancer tumor has two billion cells, but your body has over a trillion cells — so why don’t we spend more time training our cells to destroy the intrusive cancer cells naturally?
Unfortunately, instead of considering this approach as an option, we often visit doctors who cut the tumors out, along with other vital body parts.
In this module, you’ll explore:
The pakua is a symbolic representation of the eight forces of nature — wind, thunder, mountains, water, the heavens, lakes and rain, earth, and fire.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, instead of solely using the energy within your body, you combine the energy of your organs with the energy of the Universe. This is a technique used in the Fusion practice to condense and gather the abundant energy that surrounds you into something your body can use and digest.
By chanting the names of the eight forces of nature, you’ll invoke the forces of the Universe. You’ll also experience a vibration coming from the lower dantien...
In the process, you’ll create a connection between your internal energy and the energy of the Universe.
In this module, you’ll:
You have the power to strengthen and control your senses and prevent your sense energy from scattering...
Grandmaster Chia will guide you to turn your senses inward, drawing them into the organs and their collection points.
In the process, energy is moved into all four pakuas, where the energy is refined and then condensed into the cauldron — the center of control, where the pearl is formed. (You’ll learn more about the cauldron in the next Module.)
Once your senses and organs are connecting and moving into one place, you’ll feel a sense of control. You’ll feel stronger as you increase your power to overcome temptations — because your senses and organs will be stronger.
In this module, you’ll discover:
At the center of your body between the four pakuas, you create a center of being, or center of control, called the cauldron.
As the energy is drawn by the four pakuas into the cauldron at your center of being, it’s fused or crystallized into a life-force energy sphere or ball, a pearl of condensed energy...
This pearl is then circulated in the Microcosmic Orbit.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, the cauldron is located in a space between the navel and the Door of Life, but it’s more toward the back of the body, in front of the kidneys. It’s the place where prenatal force, as part of the Universal or Original Force, was formed.
It’s also the place where all of the five elemental forces combine and transform into a very refined energy. At the cauldron, energies are mixed further, blended, and condensed, and the pearl is formed.
In this module, you’ll discover how:
During thousands of years of exploring philosophy and psychology, the Taoists realized the need to explore basic human emotions...
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, they observed that if certain emotions are not understood and dealt with, they’ll attract or create other undesirable emotions.
The Taoists believe that all emotions originate from the organs, and that the mind regulates and determines their use. Although the emotional energies that emanate from each organ can vary, certain specific, basic negative emotions are associated with each organ.
The kidneys are associated with fear... the heart with impatience and hastiness... the liver with anger... the lungs with sadness and depression... and the spleen with worry.
As you understand the negative emotions of each organ more deeply in this module, you’ll:
Cosmic Fusion II is an advanced level of Inner Alchemy that teaches how to bring the physical body into balance with the energy body — to detoxify, nourish, and integrate the physical body and the energy body with the forces of nature.
Grandmaster Chia will share how Cosmic Fusion builds on the foundation of internal alchemy laid in Fusion of the Five Elements...
Energy drawn from the organs and senses funnels into a collection point — transforming negative emotions that are fused and condensed into a pearl through the pakuas.
When the resulting pearl is further refined, then balanced, neutralized energy is circulated through the Microcosmic Orbit, and the body absorbs this enhanced life-force. The pearl is then used to form the Energy Body.
Once the negative emotions have been drawn out and transformed, the pearl is moved through the creation cycle, nurturing the virtues. These qualities are cultivated, blended, and condensed into the pearl, forming the energy of compassion — the essence of the senses, glands, organs, and mind.
In this module, you’ll explore:
At this stage of practice, you’ll learn to digest increasingly higher grade energies of the Higher Self and Universal Forces from the sun, moon, planets, stars, galaxies, and from the mind of the Tao itself.
Grandmaster Chia will guide you through practices to help you awaken to eternal, enduring energies.
You can become cognizant of your true nature as a spirit, and with plenty of practice over time, even experience the ability to leave the physical body and travel in the immortal spirit body. This leads to an experience of the inner worlds of spirit...
Fear of death is vanquished as you become more familiar with life beyond physicality.
In this module, you’ll explore:
The energy of the positive emotions from all the organs is absorbed into the pearl and then circulated in four of the eight special channels: the Microcosmic Orbit (Governor and Functional Channels), the Belt Channel, and the Thrusting Channel.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, the Thrusting Channels run through the center of the body, linking the “chakra” centers. The Belt Channel spirals around the body strengthening the aura and providing a form of psychic self-defense.
The three Thrusting Channels and the Belt Channels permit a freer flow of energy throughout the body.
The Thrusting Channels need the tremendous energy of good virtue to help them open, and they must be opened first. Their primary function is to cleanse specific energy pathways in the body, opening them up for the energy to flow freely.
In this module, you’ll explore:
The Belt Channel is a psychic channel of power and self‐defense, encircling the body with energy. It protects the body and fences the energy within the Governor, Functional, and Thrusting Channels, while warding off negative energy from the outside world.
Starting at the navel each Chi center of the body is crossed and encircled by one level of the continuing Belt Channel. A cross-section at the navel level would show the Belt Channel connecting to your body’s other channels.
At the front of the body, the Belt Channel connects with the Functional Channel. As it moves to the left side it connects with the Left Thrusting Channel. Then at the Door of Life in the back, it connects with the Governor Channel. To the right it connects with the Right Thrusting Channel. Returning to the front, the circle is complete.
In this module, you’ll explore:
The Fusion III meditation opens the greater bridge and regulator channels, spinal cord, head, and heart using the cutting and drilling techniques to clean out any energy blockages.
You’ll learn to protect your body from external energies by sealing the senses and aura and receiving the higher frequencies of the Universal Force.
The next level of the Universal Healing Tao system consists of opening the psychic channels...
Grandmaster Chia will share practices in which you’ll use extra energy saved through the previous practices — including recycled negative energies — to build a strong energy body.
Developing this Energy Body awakens a part of yourself that perceives and acts free of environmental, educational, and karmic conditioning. Once the Energy Body is strong, it becomes a vehicle to help the untrained soul and spirit for the long journey home.
In this module, you’ll:
In this stage of fusion, you’ll cleanse the energy pathways in the body by activating the Bridge and Regulator channels. With the opening and activating of the Microcosmic Orbit, the Ascending Central Channel (Chong Mai), the Belt Channels and the Yin and Yang Bridge and Regulator Channels in the arms and legs — the body can become completely permeable to the circle of life energy.
The unimpeded flow of energy forms the basis for perfect physical and mental health. In this stage, you’ll be able to create an extraordinary psychic protective field and learn techniques to solve energy blockages that attach to the spine and other parts of the body.
You’ll also learn how violet “intelligent” light carries information, wisdom, and knowledge in a network that covers the entire Universe. Your heart radiates this violet light and you can find this wisdom light, full of high vibrational energy, everywhere in the Universe.
In this module, you’ll discover:
The Taoists say our soul and spirit need containers when they come to us...
At this point, you’ve been immersed in The Universal Healing Tao as a practical system of self-development to make space for the harmonious evolution of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
Through Grandmaster Chia’s series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy exercises, you’ve learned to increase physical energy, release tension, improve health, practice self-defense, and gain the ability to heal yourself and others.
In this closing session, you’ll review and explore:

Grandmaster Mantak Chia was born in Bangkok, Thailand in 1944. Recognized very early as having great potential for spiritual development, he was initiated into meditation practices by Buddhist monks at the age of six. While studying in Hong Kong, he learned Tai Chi Chuan, Aikido, and Kundalini Yoga from a variety of teachers.
His pursuit of Taoist teachings led him to meet Master Yi Eng, the White Cloud Hermit, a Taoist Master originally from Central China, living at that time in the mountains not far from Hong Kong. Master Yi Eng was to become Grandmaster Mantak Chia’s principal teacher. Over a period of a few years, Master Yi transmitted to Grandmaster Mantak Chia the most sacred and closely held Taoist practices, formulas, and methods of internal alchemy, culminating in the Reunion of Heaven and Man.
Realizing that, as transmitted to him, these immortal practices could not easily be absorbed by Western students, Grandmaster Mantak Chia undertook to integrate them with his studies in Western physical anatomy. Through this process, he created a unique view of the internal aspects of these practices. With the Universal Healing Tao system, he has created for the first time a way for any individual to quickly get to the essence of subtle practices whose real purpose has been shrouded in secrecy for millennia.
The author of dozens of books, booklets, and videos describing the theory and methods of these practices, Grandmaster Mantak Chia has taught thousands of enthusiastic students the principles of Taoist internal practice over the past 40 years. He has certified hundreds of instructors and practitioners to help in the transmission of these teachings.

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
