To experience the Tao (the way), many Taoist withdraw to caves in the mountains and spend a period of time meditating. In Taoist text, caves are seen as symbolic of the womb and by returning to the cave, you enter the process of being spiritually reborn. The purpose of Taoist meditation is to quiet the mind, unify the body and spirit and most significantly to harmonise with the Tao. This seated Qigong practice focuses on activating the central meridian channel as fundamental energy practice to transition into meditation.
