5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to many aspects of Taoism, February 6, 2006

This review is from: Taoism (Audio CD)

This is a great overview of Taoism, wonderfully illustrating its origins, history, and modern practice. It is focused very much on encouraging an experience of the Tao rather than dry academic material. The academic material presented is done so as to enhance the experience of the Tao. He does a great job of presenting the seemingly arcane and complicated topics in digestible, bite-size chunks - even divination! It seems the author's specialities are feng shui and qi-gong. While other topics get a little bit of time, these two get a lot. I appreciated the author's inclusion of meditation exercises, but these things don't translate well to what I consider is the most common use of the audio CD: listening while driving. That said, I was impressed at his emphasis on cultivating tao and fostering an understanding of qi as relevant to all of the subtopics presented. I would recommend this CD/book to any friend interested in learning the basics of Taoism.

I have found the CD Program "Toaisim" by Ken Cohen to be a very good overview, of Toaism, it was easy to understand the fundamental's, and it provides a great look into Taoisim.

I also own Ken Cohen's "The Way of Giqong Training Program", the "Taosim" course is a great compliment to it also.

I appreciate that Ken goes deep into the history of the Tao in a way that the reader gets a feel of the teachings. He is long and arduous in his sharing. That can be tiring at times but you will get a great education. In listening to it remember that he is also trying to get you to stop the world a little and enter the Dao. If that was his goal then he has achieved it.

Great teaching and great exercises and practices that can change ones life.

I have studied these kind of teachings for over 30 years and really enjoyed his persentation.
