☯️ Art of Nourishing Life ☯️
Many thousands of years ago, the Taoist Tradition asked a question, "How can we extend our life, and cultivate vital health and wellness..?" The Taoist began looking at all aspects of life - food, sleep, emotional states, fasting, exercise, breathwork, and meditation - and set about to find what worked to create the optimal state of health, vitality and wellness within the human body. These findings on Health Development were codified over time into a system which was termed: 'Yang Sheng' in Chinese. Yang Sheng can be translated to mean: The Art of Nourishing Life.
In this exciting Teacher Training, we want to share our discoveries and experience with you in the Taoist Art of Nourishing Life - we will learn Taoist Qigong Practice, Longevity Breathwork, Inner Alchemy Meditation, 5 Elemental Cooking, Herbs to enhance Longevity, and so much more. We want to support you in gaining Greater Health, Wellness and Vitality in your life.

Journey to the Source
This Course training will be led by Jesse Lee Parker who brings well over 30 years of experience and training in Taoist Qigong, Internal Martial Arts, and Inner Alchemy Meditation to his lessons. Jesse began his learning in Taoist Qigong and Kung Fu as a teenager in Austin, Texas. As he grew up in Texas, he always had a burning desire to travel to China and discover the Root and Source of the Taoist Arts. In the Autumn of 1999 - this dream to journey to China became a reality..! Jesse had been living in Japan, attending a Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy in the center of Tokyo - studying Acupuncture, Acupressure Massage, and Medical Qigong - his Teachers saw his deep interest in the Traditional Healing Arts of China, and pushed him to further his studies in Mainland China. Jesse saved his money, and flew off to Beijing - with no plan, and no contacts - simply trusting that fate and destiny would guide him. Once in Beijing, he was effortlessly guided to White Cloud Temple - the Headquarters of all Taoism in China - gaining access to the inner quarters of Senior Taoist Adepts - Jesse received teachings on Inner Alchemy Meditation, Neigong and Taoist Qigong. This experience in White Cloud Temple planted a deep seed and inspired Jesse to seek more. He continued his seeking in China and trained with Medical Qigong Healers in Tianjin who taught Medical Qigong and Qigong Energy Healing - he then explored Pakua Kung Fu with Masters in the Temple of Heaven Park and eventually made his way to the Sacred Taoist Mountain Laoshan - you can see a picture from this time on Mount Laoshan here with the giant Chinese character of Longevity carved into the mountain face. This first trip to Mainland China was the beginning of a long love affair with Taoist Sacred Sites in Mainland China and the study of Taoist Qigong and Inner Alchemy Meditation. All of the experience, lessons and insights Jesse gained during his decades long exploration of Taoist Qigong in China will be shared with you in this exciting course training..!
Discovering the Root
From Jesse's teenage years, he was very attracted to Taoism - not as an intellectual pursuit - but as a Living Embodied Practice. The history and development of Taoist Practice is very long, spanning many thousands of years. At a certain point in Jesse's study and exploration, he began to ponder, "What is the Root Method and the Source of Taoist Practice...?" After a long search through Taiwan and Mainland China - by chance, Jesse met a Taoist Master who instructed him deeply in the practice of Taoist Inner Alchemy Meditation - this training took place deep in the mountains of North East China, in a mountain area in Liaoning Province - close to the border of North Korea. This first training in Inner Alchemy Meditation was an intensive which took place over 45 days of constant secluded practice, bringing Jesse to move through the progressive stages of development in Inner Alchemy Training, called Nei Dan Shu in Chinese language. After this first retreat training experience, Jesse continued his study, exploration and practice of Taoist Qigong, Neigong and Inner Alchemy Meditation in China, and eventually took residence in China to focus on his practice and Self Cultivation.
Living in China, taking residence deep in the remote Taoist Mountains, spending time living in sacred nature areas and Taoist Temples was a time of deep contemplation and self reflection for Jesse. This direct experience of moving through the Stages of Taoist Inner Alchemy Meditation during this time of practice in China brought Jesse to experience what he feels is the direct Root and Essence of Taoist Practice - giving him an enlightened and very wide view of understanding the unifying principle of the various methods of Qigong, TaoYin, and Neigong.
During this exciting course training, Jesse will present the Training Methods of Taoist Qigong and Inner Alchemy Meditation and explain the Stages of Development that arise in this practice. We will also include the related theory, symbology and philosophy contained in this marvellous Art of Transformation. It is going to be a very fun journey of learning and self discovery we will take together.

"The transformation I’ve experienced from learning Immortal Arts Qigong has been incredibly supportive in my life.."
Learning Qigong and Neigong Practice with Jesse has allowed me to develop and nurture myself deeply from an energetic layer. From developing and nurturing the energetic aspects of myself, my body is feeling as vital as ever, and I’ve reached the most sustained level of calm and happy emotionally and centred mentally that I’ve ever felt. Since beginning learning the Golden Lotus Neigong training, my ability to be adaptable and be “in flow” in my relationships and life’s circumstances has improved dramatically. I am so thankful for that!
It is clear that Jesse’s knowledge and embodiment of Taoist Practice come with a lifetime of experience. It is rare to find a teacher of this ancient wisdom from the East, who can be so relatable in our modern and westernised way of living, and hold such a complete system that fulfils all aspects of being a human - physical body, energetic, mental, emotional, vitality, longevity, and spirituality. I’ve never felt so adeptly guided in how to work with my internal energies.
I’m happy to now be a Certified Teacher, sharing the goodness of Immortal Arts Qigong with my own students in Australia.

Systematic Learning
During our time together in this Intensive Training, we will explore the Immortal Arts Qigong System - a modern and comprehensive approach to Taoist Practice. Taoist Practice in Ancient Times was a unified, systematic and holistic method - taught in Stages, and moving through Levels of Attainment - guided with a Clear Understanding of the process of Energy Development. In understanding the proper way to Develop Energy - the First Step lies in Developing and Transforming the Physical Body, and also Cultivating the Breath. We also must address the Diet in the beginning, and learn to eat in a way which supports the process of Qigong Practice. Real Qigong Training is a process to first Transform the Body and also Cultivate the Breath - The Body then becomes the Empty Vessel with which we may begin to gain Unification of the Mind and the Breath. This Unification takes place in the Dantian Center - giving rise and birth to the Inner Qi Energy.
In this exciting Teacher Training in 2022, we will guide our members through a Systematic Learning - which will be experiential and embodied - laying the foundation for greater health and vitality. We also seek to give our members a very clear and enlightened understanding of how to properly practice Taoist Qigong and develop Healing Energy within their body.
During this Training members will be guided through unique Taoist Methods of Qigong, Neigong, Nei Dan, and Tao Yin Training in an easy to follow and step by step manner. We also will learn aspects of Taoist Longevity Breath Training to aid us in Developing Healing Energy. We will have detailed lectures on Taoist Philosophy, and discover the process of how Energy Develops inside the body during Qigong Practice.. Our Program is comprehensive, insightful, and in depth - but we also will have a lot of fun learning together.
This Teacher Training Program is open to EVERYONE.. !
We warmly welcome the complete beginner, and also the experienced students of Qigong, Yoga, Meditation and practitioners of the Healing Arts.

Tai Chi Ruler - Taoist Art of Longevity
Tai Chi Ruler - handcrafted -
To learn and train in the TaiChi Ruler Qigong - you will need to have your own ruler to work with. I find it is quite easy to purchase many high quality TaiChi Rulers Online these days - you just have to spend a little time searching with google. Members who take part in our training will need to either purchase a Tai Chi Ruler Online, or use a light and circular stick about 12 inches / 30cm in length. Often times the Traditional Rulers are handcrafted of solid Beech Wood - similar to the picture here. An average cost of a Tai Chi Ruler found online is $25 - $30usd. We will provide links to order a low cost Tai Chi Ruler for our members, as well as provide the size dimensions if you wish to make your own. We have a few different sized Tai Chi Rulers we had our wood working friends make for us - it took a few tries to get the circular shapes right - but we had a lot of fun making ours by hand -but honestly it takes a bit of time to get the shape right. We highly advise our members to order their Tai Chi Ruler online - and will provide a link when you join of a maker we recommend. We will have a lot of fun learning this Taoist Art of Longevity and Wellness. Learning the Tai Chi Ruler Qigong will help to enhance all aspects of your health and wellbeing.
“The energy from the daily practice sessions brought such a big transformation in my life...”
The Earth & Sky Reconnection 2019 - was truly a wonderful time we spent, immersed in exploration of the Taoist Arts of Qigong and Inner Alchemy Meditation.
It was a great pleasure to have met all of our Taoist Family from all over the world and to have shared such a special time together. The experience touched me deeply.
The energy from the daily practice sessions with Jesse, made such a wonderful connection to my Heart and it brought such a big transformation in my life.
Everyday was full of learning, with deep gifts of awakening and healing energy.
I wish this wonderful wisdom from the Taoist Tradition can spread to many people, so we all may Walk in harmony with the Great Natural Way of Tao.
I am full of gratitude for the great love and peace that developed from the days spent practicing the Taoist Arts with Jesse and the other students.
I truly feel blessed.
Thank you.

Chart of the Clear Mirror - Understanding the Cycles of Time
The Ancient Taoists went Deep into this Study of the Cycles of Time and Nature - looking far beyond the limits of the physical body. The Taoists uncovered the key which unifies these cycles of Nature and Qi Energy within the Human Body. Applying these discoveries will aid one in developing greater health, longevity, and spiritual insight. During our time training together, we will explore the concepts and teachings contained in this Ancient Chart. We will then learn to directly apply these teachings of the Cycle of Time to our practice of Taoist Qigong in order to unlock our Greater Potential for Health, Vitality and Wellness.

Taoist Animal Movement Qigong
The Ancient Taoists observed Nature and all its elements - the wind, water, trees and the many animals that surrounded them. The Taoists were especially fascinated by animals which they viewed that had special abilities such as the Turtle which can hold its breath underwater for a long time, or the high jumping ability of the deer, the strength and speed of the Tiger, and the balance and grace of the crane. The Taoists studied these animals and created special postures, movements and meditations - seeking to mimic and embody these abilities which the animals expressed within their own bodies. During our Course Training together, we will explore Taoist Animal Movements patterned after the Deer, Swallow, Crane, Dragon, Snake, Butterfly and others. This will be a lot of fun, and help us to make interesting discoveries about our body, heart and mind through the exploration of Taoist Movement Arts, Breathwork and the Dynamic Taoist Qigong Training Methods.

“Taoist Practice reminded me that I am Pure, Clean and filled with Golden Light...”
When I first began Taoist Practice with Jesse, I honestly did not know what to expect.
My first practice session felt so natural.
As we went through the different Taoist Mudras in seated meditation, I remember feeling this sense of surrendering.
In the beginning all I wanted to know was "can I be healed?"
Jesse expressed, “as we practice, we practice not as a healing art -- but rather as a lifestyle. When we approach practice this way - we don't have to think about healing. Healing comes naturally."
I have met other Taoist Teachers, however, the way Jesse teaches about the root of this practice: all the theory, terms, and history - shifted this common experience of: ‘student entering class’ - into - ‘student entering life’.
Because of these Taoist Teachings, I feel so connected to nature while being reminded that I am also nature.
I am capable of living in my True Natural State. I am reminded that I am Pure, Clean and filled with Golden Light.
Because of this sacred act of tenderness with the practice - as I tend to my body, heart and mind - I flow more with nature - I now feel so youthful again..!
Thank you, Jesse for sharing your wisdom and the sacred teachings of the Tao...

“Immortal Arts Qigong has given me the foundation of Inner Peace and Happiness for the first time in my life. ”
I thought I had a pretty clear picture about what to expect from the Taoist Inner Alchemy Retreat and Teacher Training, but I must say this experience gave me more then I ever could have hoped for or imagined.
Our Teacher Jesse carefully guided us, to face some of our inner sadness, stress or fear during the training, which many of us carry around in our daily life - yet we were guided to let it all transform naturally and blossom into the flower of inner peace.
I have tried many things in my life, but I can say with an honest heart, that this truly is an Authentic Healing Art which Jesse teaches.
It was not something magical or unreal..
It was something true and raw - a connection to my very being. I can only describe it with one word - Happiness.
To be clear, the Training Retreat did not cure all my troubles - but I was shown the way to the Medicine, and was given the tools i will need to get there.
I am more at peace now, I am happier and feel more complete In my practise and daily life, and I am so thankful for the gift of Taoist Practice, and for the friends and Tao Family I have met on this journey...
.
“The experience with Jesse and the Immortal Arts Community that met in 2019, was simply amazing and life changing...”
Jesse's knowledge and experience both from his time in China studying Taoist Practice and from his personal healing journey are incredibly profound. The teachings resonated deeply with me and surprised me in how elaborate and beautiful they were. The more I learned the more I wanted to learn, but rather than just consuming information, Jesse's approach to teaching is slow and gentle, allowing the learner to internalise rather than conceptualise.
For me the training with Jesse was the missing link in my personal practice - Taoist Qigong and Inner Alchemy provided the central elements, provided the Center. The teachings are authentic, coming from a long lineage tradition, and powerful, without being forceful or unnatural to the practitioner. The instructions and techniques seem simple but they gain depth the more one practices.
All in all I feel like I only scratched the surface of what the Immortal Arts System the Jesse teaches has to offer, but even that has made an enormous difference to my practice, adding clarity, balance and centeredness.
