Connecting with the Tao

Connecting with Tao shifts you to another dimension of being that is deep, peaceful, silent, and full of awareness. You can immediately sense that your energy vibration is different and that you are in touch with your True Self. It is like you go back to our Source at that moment, you are worry-free and full of light. You are immediately in touch with that creative force inside of you. It is like you drink from that fountain of wisdom.

Connecting with the Tao is like somebody turns on a switch. You are certainly alive in the "old world" as well; as a matter of fact, often you are even more "passionate"; even more blood is rushing through your system as you run after your dreams. Yet in this world every high is necessarily followed by a low, every exuberance followed by a depression. Along the Tao there is an incredible feeling of light, love and serenity instead. And if you manage to stay connected to this magnificent force, this experience never changes.

The way you connect with people is totally different along the Tao. You now connect with them from the core of your being. It is a communication without language. You communicate with energy instead. You never "want" anything from the other person. Instead, you just cannot wait for the next moment, the next interaction with her. The Tao is the sister you are with and for that present you are infinitely grateful.

Connecting with the Tao changes your quality of life completely. From now on you are just an instrument, a contributor to the infinite Now. You surrender to the Tao and every action, every gesture, every word just flows through you. You immerse with the Tao. Fear is impossible as the Tao carries you along. Fear is a product of thought and you are way too busy for that. The Tao decides your agenda and you know that no matter what, it all makes sense. Certainly, there are still times you are struggling, but that just means that you have to find a new way to reconnect. Just look around you, the welcoming hand of the Tao is always present.

You may ask so how exactly do I connect with the Tao and we would say let it connect with you. A spiritual path is not really a choice, it suddenly gets you and from there is no turning back. It is a feeling of connectedness, it is a series of meaningful coincidences, the so-called synchronicity. Being part of the Tao is as if everything that has ever happened in your life has prepared you for this moment. It is the world calling out to you, just sit back and enjoy the show, everything you possibly need we have in store for you. From that moment on you can only disconnect from it by your own doing. So from here on you will just try to minimize the interferences. It is not hard to do at all, but it takes a few years to master this step because you are still used to your old habits and ways of doing things. Think of the Tao as a big car wash, when you are through the cleaning process, all your interferences and impurities will be washed away.

It takes courage and trust to follow the Way. The Tao's agenda can certainly deviate from what you think you want from life. The reason is that She just knows better. She knows what you truly want. So follow her lead without fear and complete trust, Her arrangements are best for everyone involved. Given that the outcome may be different from what you expect you may be confused and perplexed on occasions, but keep on walking and soon you will understand the grand plan. The Tao will constantly expand your boundaries and redefine your notions of "good" and "bad". You will always know when you are connected for where you go there is joy, laughter and love. You understand soon that wherever the Tao treats everything is just perfect for everyone.

In front of the Tao,
we surrender and bow deeply.
Please give us the courage and trust to follow You.
Please give us the hints when we deviate from you,
and bring us back when we drift away,

Thank you for always being there with us,
thank you for guiding us,
thank you for the wonderful life you are giving us,
thank you for all the blessings that you are showering us with.

We pray to you, please stay with us,
please ignite the light in every one of us,
and let us know,
whenever we need your guidance.

All we need to do is to be quiet and in touch with our heart,
and then you will whisper to us,
we are most grateful,
we are most thankful.
Thank for every thing you have done for us and given to us,
we are here for you,
just like you are here for us,

Please use us if we can help others find You.
We are most happy to share your energy and wisdom with the world,
Heaven is here, it is in us and in the people we are with.
