What is known from the Tao Te Ching, I Ching, and other Taoist
texts is almost entirely literary. When Bruce Frantzis studied
these texts with his main teacher, Grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh, he
was taught their practical application: “This is what they say;
this is what they mean; this is how to do them.” In the TAO of
Letting Go, Frantzis offers a bridge to this pragmatic approach for
living a spiritual life. Spirituality is not just an aspiration for
which people strive, he says, but a genuine, accomplishable
reality.
Frantzis shows how to expend maximum effort and yet not use
force—the gentle way of the Water method—to enrich personal health
and energy systems. The Water tradition continues the work of
releasing inner conflicts, a process that begins with the
Dissolving Method, passed down by Lao Tse in the Tao Te Ching over
2,500 years ago. The author shows how to completely let go of the
blockages that bind and prevent the seeker from reaching full
spiritual potential. Short, direct chapters and exercises cover
such topics as breathing and awareness; Taoist meditation; fog and
depression; modern anxiety; love and compassion; and more.
”Frantzis’ style of teaching demystifies ancient Chinese
Taoist arts that have rarely, if ever, been taught in the
West.”
—Elizabeth Whitney, Yoga Journal
”Frantzis has spent most of his life studying various martial
arts, meditation, and traditional Eastern healing systems. His
fluency in Chinese and Japanese has allowed him to pursue these
arts to an unprecedented depth for a Westerner.”
—Clarence Lu, contributing writer, Inside Kung Fu
”The dissolving process described in this book gives
practitioners an immediate tool for altering patterns of being that
contribute to their suffering. That is the gift of the Water
method.”
—Michael J. Salveson, advanced instructor, past president, Rolf
Institute
”I’ve read a number of books on meditation, but The Tao of
Letting Go brings an aspect of this ancient practice to light that
was previously unfamiliar to me. Along with an introduction to the
Taoist Water method, detailed de*ions of beneficial meditation
postures and author-guided practice sessions round out this
‘meditation for modern living.'”
—New Consciousness Review
“Collections strong in Taoism, meditation and spirituality will
find a powerful pick in Bruce Frantzis’ Tao of Letting Go:
Meditation for Modern Living, which teaches techniques to help
people overcome obstacles and learn to relax.”
—Midwest Book Review
