Grandmaster Mantak Chia
Create a solid foundation for physical health and emotional harmony from the inside out with Taoist wisdom and Qigong practices that rejuvenate your organs, increase life-force energy, and connect your body with the healing intelligence of the Universe.
You create a direct pathway to restoring balance, vitality, and internal harmony by harnessing the hidden connection between your organs, emotions, and the colors that move through your energy body.
Qigong Grandmaster Mantak Chia says this relationship is only one of many profound synergies revealed in Taoist Inner Alchemy...
... a system designed to illuminate the root causes of emotional and physical imbalance — and how to transform them at their source.
In Grandmaster Chia’s new 7-module, 8-week live video course, you’ll enter a timeless tradition that views the human body as an intelligent microcosm of the Earth and Universe — where emotions have texture, color, sound, and movement, organs have associated emotions, elements, and planets, and healing is created by cultivating flow through the relationships among them.
Rather than treating symptoms, Taoist practice teaches you how to dissolve blockages, awaken dormant energy centers, and return your body to its natural state of harmony through breath, intention, visualization, movement, and conscious inner awareness.
For more than 50 years, Grandmaster Chia has transmitted the deepest teachings of Taoist Inner Alchemy in ways that are clear, accessible, and profoundly effective.
He’ll guide you into practices that can reverse the impact of stress on the organs, clear stagnant emotional residue, and reawaken the body’s innate capacity to regenerate.
Through essential methods such as the Inner Smile, the Six Healing Sounds, the awakening of the Three Fires, and the circulation of life force through the microcosmic orbit, you’ll learn how to calm the nervous system, open pathways where energy flow has slowed or collapsed...
... and cultivate a steady current of vitality that naturally supports emotional balance, mental clarity, and physical renewal.
In Taoism, negative emotions — anger, sadness, depression, fear, and worry — are seen as low-grade energy that causes chronic disease and drains our life force by creating energy blockages. Grandmaster Chia’s practices transform heavy emotions into new sources of Qi, peace, joy, and vitality.
You’ll learn how sound, color, and positive emotions interact to cleanse and strengthen the organs, how the kidneys, heart, and lower dantian form the engine of your vitality, how circulating Qi through the body aligns you with the greater rhythms of nature...
... and how the brain can be recharged, repaired, and infused with the expansive intelligence of the Universe.
You’ll also engage in craniosacral-based Qigong methods that open the spine, mobilize the cerebrospinal fluid, and tune the entire body to a more coherent and fluid rhythm that circulates nourishment to your organs and helps you experience a profound sense of ease...
... the feeling of being supported from within, guided by the body’s wisdom rather than overwhelmed by stress.
If you feel called to explore ancient practices backed by modern science that can transform your health, energy, and inner life into one harmonious state — this 7-module, 8-week journey with Grandmaster Mantak Chia offers a rare opportunity to study with one of the world’s great masters of Taoist healing and Qigong.
During this empowering course, you’ll:
- Discover how Taoist Inner Alchemy helps balance emotions and reduces anxiety, stress, and worry
- Be guided in Taoist practices that optimize your nervous system, clear internal blockages, instill deep relaxation, dissolve stress, create yin-yang balance, experience the healing power of the planets, and more
- Be guided in a Craniosacral Qigong practice that creates more fluid flow, clarity in the brain, and circulation of nutrition and oxygen in your system
- Learn how negative emotions affect the organs — and ways to transform negative emotions into positive energy
- Awaken the balance of yin (descending) and yang (ascending) energy currents
- Learn how organ – emotion – color correspondences work in Taoist practice
- Recharge and repair your brain, increase memory and brain function — and expand your mind power and consciousness
- Use the Inner Smile practice to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, generate positive emotional energy — and direct it toward your internal organs
- Discover the roles of the lower dantian, kidneys (jing), and heart (shen) in energy cultivation
Grandmaster Mantak Chia was initiated into meditation practices at the age of six by Buddhist monks and later, while studying in Hong Kong, learned Tai Chi Chuan, Aikido, and Kundalini Yoga.
His deep pursuit of Taoist wisdom led him to Master Yi Eng, the White Cloud Hermit, who became his principal teacher and transmitted to him the most sacred and closely guarded practices of internal alchemy, including the culmination known as the “Reunion of Heaven and Man.”
Recognizing that these ancient teachings were difficult for Western students to grasp in their original form, Grandmaster Chia integrated them with his extensive studies in Western anatomy. This synthesis birthed the Universal Healing Tao System — a modern, accessible pathway for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, bringing to light the essence of subtle practices once kept secret for millennia.

This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive 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 cultivate Taoist inner alchemy for balance and rejuvenation.
Module 1: Flush Your Organs of Toxic Emotions, Restore Flow & Prevent Illness With the Inner Smile Meditation (2026-02-02 5:00:00 pm)
The Inner Smile Meditation is a Taoist practice that involves directing positive and loving energy such as gratitude and joy toward oneself through a metaphorical “inner smile.”
This meditation is one of Grandmaster Chia’s most important contributions to the Western world. It uses visualization, conscious breathing, and focused attention on the internal organs…
… while generating positivity that flushes the organs of toxic emotions that may be obstructing the flow of Qi, allowing the whole body to be nourished.
Smiling at your organs and thanking them for their work helps reawaken the body’s intelligence, dissolving emotional imbalances and inner disharmony before serious illness appears.
You’ll promote deep relaxation and internal health, and begin to recognize illness at its inception on the organ level — and how to balance emotions to heal it.
Just as a genuine outer smile transmits positive energy and has the power to warm and heal, an inner smile produces a high grade of energy that promotes internal healing, deep relaxation, happiness, and longevity.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- A foundational understanding of the Taoist method of “smiling to the organs”
- How to generate positive emotional energy — and direct it toward your internal organs
- Techniques to dissolve emotional tension and internal stress through breath and visualization
- How negative emotions affect the organs and ways to transform negative emotions into positive energy
- Greater internal awareness and the ability to sense energy, or Qi, in the body
- Practices that promote deep relaxation — and reconnect you to your body’s natural intelligence
- Inner peace, harmony, and healing through a guided Inner Smile meditation
Module 2: Fundamentals of Taoist Inner Alchemy to Balance Emotions & Dissolve Stress, Anxiety & Worry (2026-02-09 5:00:00 pm)
Learn the profound Taoist meditation of the Six Healing Sounds, which offers a special sound for each of the organs, a healing color, a positive emotion and position for each sound. You’ll use this and the Inner Smile practice and other Taoist exercises to dissolve nervous tension and blockages.
Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds practices are very important techniques to make the connections between the organs, the colors, and the good virtuous energies associated with each organ.
These foundational practices will bring you back to your body wisdom and awaken your Qi, or life-force energy.
Inner Smile originates from self-love towards your own body. It activates the relaxation response in the parasympathetic nervous system, gets rid of the negative emotion, and rebalances the positive emotion.
Together, Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds will help you to restore good health and will help with the connection to the primordial life force.
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover how Taoist Inner Alchemy helps balance emotions and reduce anxiety, stress, and worry
- Combine the Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds techniques to shift emotional states
- Learn how organ — emotion — color correspondences work in Taoist practice
- Explore practical exercises to release nervous tension and internal blockages
- Activate the parasympathetic nervous system through smiling and breath
- Receive tools to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and enhance the flow of Qi
- Be guided in a practice that fuses the five elements to create Yin-Yang balance — smiling, heart (fire/impatience), and spleen (earth)
Module 3: Ground & Turbocharge Your Energy & Increase Vitality With the Three Fires (2026-02-23 5:00:00 pm)
The Three Fires is an exercise designed to combine the energies of the lower dantian, the kidneys, and the heart.
The lower dantian is the original source of energy and the center of gravity in the body. It is described as “the root of the tree of life,” and it is the seat of your internal energy (Qi).
The kidneys carry the jing, the essential substance that we inherit from our parents at the moment of our conception.
Grandmaster Chia will share how most of the body’s functions, such as digestion, assimilation, and sexual functions, rely on the kidney Qi, while heart energy is where the “spirit” (shen) resides.
In general, heart shen is equal to an individual’s overall vitality, which is often observed through the complexion, eyes, and responses. This indicates the quality of a healthy heart spirit.
The energy accumulated from these Three Fires turbocharges your overall energy and prepares you for the Microcosmic Orbit meditation.
In this session, you’ll explore:
- The roles of the lower dantian, kidneys (jing), and heart (shen) in energy cultivation
- How to combine the Three Fires to strengthen and unify internal energy
- Ways to recognize and feel the different qualities of Qi associated with each center
- Preparation techniques for deeper practices such as the Microcosmic Orbit
- How harmonizing these centers enhances vitality and emotional balance
- Practical methods for circulating and amplifying internal energy
- A guided Taoist practice that fuses the fire elements — and explores how to harness and balance fire
Module 4: Open Your Microcosmic Orbit to Guide and Circulate Energy & Align With the Natural Rhythms of the Universe (2026-03-02 5:00:00 pm)
The Microcosmic Orbit is a fundamental practice in Taoist Inner Alchemy, aimed at harmonizing and balancing the body’s energy flow for physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
Introduced to the West by Grandmaster Chia, it allows you to guide and circulate energy through specific pathways in the body.
The term Microcosmic Orbit refers to the idea that the human body is a reflection of the greater cosmos. By cultivating and circulating energy within the body, one can attain greater alignment with the natural rhythms of the universe.
You’ll experience how practicing the Microcosmic Orbit with a relaxed and focused mind can harmonize and balance your energy, promoting physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth.
With the Microcosmic Orbit, you’ll work with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life force energy up the spine, and the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop.
Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness.
Grandmaster Chia’s practice emphasizes practical benefits to health, sexual vitality, and emotional balance — and shows how changes made in the energy body can lead to physical rejuvenation that the Taoists called immortality.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn the complete pathway of the Microcosmic Orbit — and how to circulate Qi through it
- Awaken balance of yin (descending) and yang (ascending) energy currents
- Explore techniques for grounding, focusing, and relaxing the mind to guide energy safely
- Discover how this practice supports physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony
- Learn methods for connecting with Earth Force, Cosmic Force, and Universal Force
- Gain a deeper understanding of Taoist body — mind — spirit principles
- Be guided in a practice to experience the healing power of the planets
Module 5: Repair Your Cells & Reprogram Your DNA With Stem Cell Qigong (2026-03-09 5:00:00 pm)
More than 5,000 years ago, Taoist masters discovered that the body has an amazing regenerating, repairing, and rebuilding power. This process lies at the foundation of Stem Cell Qigong — also known as reprogramming the DNA.
You’ll discover how a gentle hitting technique to the body and organs helps old, sick, and damaged cells break down and then be completely repaired by your stem cells.
Grandmaster Chia will also share how stimulating and strengthening the immune system is the key to maintaining a healthy life.
This session, you’ll:
- Rebuild and renew white and red blood cells
- Produce new stem cells — giving you more robust health
- Strengthen your immunity and improve your health and vitality with self-care practices
- Begin to cultivate a life of longevity and anti-aging
- Facilitate your body reaching its full potential
- Be guided in a Taoist practice to activate all of the internal organs and meridians — integrating the 5 elements within
Module 6: Optimize Your Nervous System, Energy Flow & Connection With the Universe Through Craniosacral Qigong (2026-03-16 5:00:00 pm)
Craniosacral Qigong refers to a fusion or integration of Qigong principles with craniosacral therapy techniques. Exploring the connections between Western craniosacral therapy and Qigong, Grandmaster Chia details movement exercises, breathwork practices, self-massage techniques, and focused meditations from Taoist and other wisdom traditions.
You’ll release and harmonize the flow of energy in the body and optimize your potential for physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
By focusing on the cranial and sacral pumps and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, you can optimize your nervous system and the flow of your energy.
Healthy internal movement results in a harmonious external environment and a sense of being at one with the Universe. Craniosacral Qigong offers simple, powerful self-care practices to do at home or to teach to others.
In this session, you’ll:
- Activate the major energy pumps
- Increase flexibility of your spine and flow of spinal fluid
- Optimize your nervous system and the body’s energetic flow
- Access the movement and the energy of your bones
- Develop a deeper connection to your body and a more profound way of moving
- Develop a simple daily routine to do yourself and teach to others
- Be guided in a Craniosacral Qigong practice that exercises your energy pumps — creating more fluid flow, clarity in brain, and circulation of nutrition and oxygen in your system
Module 7: Wisdom Qigong - Heal Your Body & Ease Mental Stress With the Knowledge & Qi of the Universe (2026-03-23 5:00:00 pm)
This practice teaches the art of meditation and physical rejuvenation by opening the brain to be filled with the knowledge of the Universe and increasing mental capacity.
Wisdom Qigong is a simple and highly effective method which prepares the mind for higher levels of Universal Tao knowledge. This new approach to healing combines with the Universal Tao healing systems such as the Inner Smile, Laughing Qigong and Chi Nei Tsang. Wisdom Qigong prepares the practitioner for increased understanding of how to heal the body with an empty mind.
Unlike other meditations, Wisdom Qigong teaches you to connect with the universal energies and to expand your awareness — and to charge the body with this energy, while not losing sight of the physical realm.
Those who think a lot, worry a lot, or dwell on emotions use 80% of their total body energy through brain activity. Using Taoist techniques you can double or triple your mind power and gain vitality in your body and organs.
In this session, you’ll:
- Recharge and repair your brain, increase memory and brain function — and expand your mind power and consciousness
- Connect with your abdominal brain to reduce energy loss
- Transform excess brain activity to revitalize the organs
- Gain wisdom as you connect with the infinite Universe
- Learn spinal cord breathing for energy flow, connecting to the planets, colors, and organs — and receiving wisdom, health, and knowledge to help healing

About Grandmaster Mantak Chia
EDIT
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 Chia’s principal teacher. Over a period of a few years, Master Yi Eng transmitted to Grandmaster 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 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 shrouded in secrecy for millennia.
The author of dozens of books, booklets, and videos describing the theory and methods of these practices, Grandmaster 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 with the global transmission of these teachings.
