Most of these techniques have their roots in Taoist alchemical meditation and Qi Gong and have been practiced by Taoist and Buddhist masters for centuries.

Whether you are a beginner interested in starting meditation and inner cultivation practices, or an advanced practitioner seeking to increase the depth of your knowledge and make your practices more consistent and regular, we've created a very detailed 40-page long meditation guide consisting of very condensed, highly valuable, refined by thousands of years of practice, information, accompanied by illustrations and energy flow charts. The details shared in some parts of this guide, can be very difficult to come by, even after studying numerous classic and modern books on the subject. Some of the techniques described in the app contain ancient secrets that haven't been revealed to public until the last 2-3 decades, many of which are still not openly shared even now.

This app features a simple and intuitive interface with beautiful natural sound effects of recorded traditional Chinese instruments used by Buddhist monks during meditation, rhythmic sound of a Buddhist wooden block and a Taoist shamanic drum, bells and chimes, sea waves, water stream, a Tibetan singing bowl, as well as, a unique meditation method with a live burning candle. The configurability of the app makes it easy to be used for a variety of meditation methods, and our detailed in-depth instructions will allow you to bypass guided meditation altogether and save you much time that you would spend on researching genuine, reliable meditation techniques.
