Recover Yourself with Tao Te Ching Wisdom

Support Group

Burnout is the symptom. Loss of self is the cause. Recover your mind, your time, and your health, guided by the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu.

Reaching Out to the Sun

Free Yourself with Your Own Awareness

The Tao Te Ching teaches that true recovery is not about escaping the past, it is about returning to yourself. That is the foundation of everything we do here.

We all have thought patterns that control how we react. They have been with us since childhood but most of us aren't aware of when, how, or why, they take control. 

Your patterns are unique and so are your solutions. The only way to reach beyond those familiar patterns is to become aware of when they are triggered within you. 

You have wasted enough time living as if you are not the god you were born to be. It is time to recover that, it's time to recover your Self!

Jay K.

Workshop

After living most of my adult life feeling angry, frustrated and victimized, I set out on a journey to reconnect with myself. A few years into my voyage, I encountered MartinJon doing his incredible work. I was intrigued at this seemingly crass and self acclaimed “woowoo” person who would often describe life as being easy! While working with MartinJon, I was inspired to look within and observe without judgement. He helped me see many reoccurring experiences from a very different perspective. I then gradually began to let go… I let go of needing to control outcomes and people, let go of the anger that has plagued my life and relationships, I let go and began to see ME again. MartinJon’s insightfulness guided me while I I did the hard work that would help me to learn how to love ALL of the parts of myself. The work that helped me begin discovering MY perfection and not some unattainable definition of the word. And now, for the first time ever, I am feeling unafraid and excited about whatever lies ahead!

#1 "Expressing Tao"
Words are particular,
They cannot express Tao.
To have a name is to be limited to manifestation
That which is nameless is the source of manifestation.

Self-referential, those who name, name themselves.

Want to experience the depth of the mystery? Stop identifying.
Want to experience the shallowness of the manifestation? Differentiate.
Either way no one can tell,
The difference is in your experience.

#16 "Stillness and Integration"
Being empty of mind is of the utmost importance
And it is to be guarded with fervor.
We have all seen states of action arise,
And always beyond it returns stillness.

When any state of action is complete
It naturally returns to stillness.
This allows integration of what arose from action
Which is the natural cycle of maturation.

If stillness and integration cannot be achieved
Constant action will lead to anxiety and wild movements.
Yielding to stillness makes one impartial,
And all particular things fall away,
Then when it is time to die
One can be impartial to that as well.

#56 "Learn to be Silent"
Those who know, aren't drawn to speak
Those who don't know, are compelled to.

Can you close your senses and your mouth?
Can you be guided by the empty void?

From there, meditate in silence,
Blunt your sarcasm and wit,
Simplify your struggles,
Shade your brilliance.
Be at one with the dust,
This is primal existence.

Be like the Master:
She is uninspired to acquire fame
Yet honors are bestowed upon her.
She is possessed by no one and possesses no one
Yet is always loved by many.
She is Immune to both attraction and repulsion,
Receptive to both profit and loss.

She is noble and is held in high esteem by all beings.

#60 "Combating Evil"
While governing anything, use restraint,
Treat it like cooking a small bit of fish,
Getting it perfect takes less than you think.

Centering all things in Tao,
Evil, with nothing to oppose,
Returns to a state of illusion.

All harm dissipates in the face of those that know their true selves.

#67 "The Three Lessons"
Caught in manifestation some people say Tao is stupid.
Others say it is a beautiful idea, but it cannot be achieved.
They cannot see it is neither an idea nor something to be achieved,
Lost in a world of endless solutions they cannot recognize truth.

Tao asks us to live with only 3 things
Compassion, moderation, and humility
With compassion you will be able to care for all things
Without having to ask if they deserve it.
With moderation you will be able to be generous,
Without them needing to prove they are worthy of it.
With humility you know you are going to die like all things,
Thus you treat all things with dignity and respect.
Abandoning these will only lead to trouble.
