5. Store the purified energy in the bone marrow.

Mantak Chia — Complete Tao Garden Series (36 Volumes) — Content Overview

Volume 13-20: The Healing Arts (Relationship with the World)

Once the inner furnace is lit, you turn outward.

• Cosmic Healing (Volumes 13-15): Healing others via distance and touch. This includes the famous "Tao Yin" breathing used in treating chronic illness.
• Chi Self-Massage (Volume 16): Taoist rejuvenation techniques for the face, scalp, and ears to reverse aging signs.
• Healing Love / The Multi-Orgasmic Man/Woman (Volumes 17-18): Perhaps Chia’s most famous (and misunderstood) work. These volumes teach the Thrusting Channel to circulate sexual energy upward, preventing prostate issues and fatigue, rather than ejaculating it out.
• Bone Breathing (Volume 19): Deepening chi into the skeletal structure for longevity.
• Nei Kung for the Senses (Volume 20): Opening the "Third Eye" and ear channels.

What is the "Complete Tao Garden Series"?

The term "Tao Garden" refers to Chia’s international training center in Chiang Mai, Thailand—a 20-acre living laboratory where students from over 50 countries come to detox, train, and meditate. The "36 Volumes" refers to the core set of instructional books and manuals that mirror the residential training path. These are not random topics; they follow a precise, step-by-step energetic progression:

1. Foundation (The Healing Tao): Clearing blockages and building the Chi reservoir.
2. Core Practices (Iron Shirt & Tan Tien): Structural integrity and storage of power.
3. Transformations (Kan & Li): Refining sexual energy into life force.
4. Higher Alchemy (Nei Kung & Sealing): Preparing the energy body for immortality practices.

Volume 29-36: The Master Path

These are rarely taught publicly and are usually reserved for certified instructors.

• Moon & Sun Fusion (Volume 29): Balancing the pineal and pituitary glands.
• Universal Tao (Volume 30): Non-dual awareness.

Volume 7-12: The Core Circulations (The Micro/Macro Orbit)

This is the engine of the entire system.

• The Microcosmic Orbit (Volume 7): The fundamental meditation. You learn to activate the "Governor Vessel" (spine) and the "Conception Vessel" (front of torso) to create a closed loop of energy. Chia famously calls this "switching on the computer."
• Fusion of the Five Elements I, II, III (Volumes 8-10): This is higher-level internal alchemy. You learn to "gather" negative emotions (anger, grief, worry) and convert them into pure virtue (kindness, courage, fairness) in the "stove" of the lower abdomen.
• Lesser Kan & Li (Volume 11): The first attempt to circulate sexual energy up the spine to the brain.
• Greater Kan & Li (Volume 12): Breaking through the "Cranial Palace" to feed the brain with hormonal energy.
