Taoist Wu Tao Meditation is a contemplation offering the experience of the deepest version of oneself. Beyond all worldy identification, who are you? Beyond the intellectual understanding of this as concept, what is the experience? You can't know the ocean through discussion. Dive in and experience for yourself through practice.

Welcome to your meditation time.

I'm Olivia Rosewood and this practice is called Wu Dao.

It's an ancient Daoist contemplative practice.

Find a comfortable meditation posture that allows your spine to be long like a river and your head to float as though there's a balloon connected to the top of your head giving you a feeling of effortless relaxation and length.

The flow of your Qi or energy is unimpeded.

Breathing deep and slow,

Become fully present in this now for meditation.

Claim this time for your meditation practice,

Letting go of thoughts of the past or future.

Breathing,

Connect to your North Star.

Visualize or feel a bridge of light connecting you to this benevolent source of unconditional love,

Of wanting for your highest good.

Remain in the light of your North Star for the duration of your practice.

As we practice Wu Dao,

I'll prompt you with questions.

Like peeling away the layers of an onion,

The purpose of this practice is to help you experience your oneness with the All That Is beyond just a conceptual understanding.

Breathing,

Contemplate the question,

Who am I?

Who am I?

Allow yourself to float through thoughts,

Who am I?

Seeing these thoughts,

These identifications and letting them go.

Consider your physical form.

Am I this body,

This face?

Consider all of the shapes and sizes your physical form has taken since your conception,

Your birth,

All of the forms this physical body will take as you continue to live,

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Breathing,

Consider your financial body,

How it changes,

How it flows.

Are you this financial body ever changing?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Bring into your contemplation your emotional body,

All of the many colors of emotion which flow through you,

Flow through your awareness,

Emotions that come and go.

Are you this emotional body?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Bring into your contemplation your desire body.

Consider your appetite for food,

Experiences,

Acquisitions.

Are you this desire body?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Consider your life's purpose,

Your life's work,

What is it that life wants from you and what do you want to give to life?

What is your life's work?

How has it changed?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Breathing deep and slow,

Now letting go or peeling away your identification with your face,

Your body.

Peeling away or looking beyond your emotional body,

Your ever-changing flow of emotion.

Peeling away,

Looking beyond your financial body.

Peeling away,

Going deeper than your desire body,

Your appetite for consuming.

Peeling away,

Going deeper than your work,

Your life's purpose,

Your manner of being of service.

Peeling away and going deeper than all of these identifications.

Continue this contemplation.

Continue this contemplation.

Continue this contemplation.

Continue this contemplation.

Breathing still floating in this contemplation.

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Take a deep breath,

Exhale all of your air out.

Deep inhale.

Exhale and rub your hands together.

Place your palms on your eyes as you inhale energy to Tianmu,

Your third eye.

Exhale,

Rub your hands together.

Place your hands on your eyes.

Inhale energy to your heart.

Exhale,

Rub your hands together.

Inhale your palms to your eyes,

Inhaling to your lower Dantianra belly.

Exhale,

Rub your palms together.

Your guidance is precious. I could tap into my inner ‘me’ in a simple way: peeling away layers and ‘un- identifying’ with them. Thank you Olivia

I adored the openness of this mediation, the space that was given for revelation to emerge from deep within. I also very much enjoy the way that Olivia brings the mediation to a conclusion through giving focus and chi to the third eye, heart and taden.

Je me sens revivre 😊 mon ventre pétille, mon cœur s'ouvre, je sens la chaleur et l'énergie revenir, je vais bientôt retrouver le soleil de ma vie, je vais pouvoir à nouveau me sentir entière et démarrer une nouvelle vie... Je me réjouis d'avoir construit ce nouveau chemin 😇
