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!

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!

#8 "Be Like Water"
Water is humble,
Always traveling to the lowest place,
Nourishing, without taxing
Everything along the way.
In so doing, it is like Tao.

The Master aims to resemble water:
In thinking, she is simple.
In conflict, she is yielding.
In governing, she doesn't need control.
In work, she does the obvious thing.
In family life, she is continually present.

When one can be content with being,
And not require comparison or praise,
It is said they invest in their life
By making of it a donation.

#22 "Looking Away from What You Want"
To become complete
Know that you're partial.
To become straight
Know that you're crooked.
To become full
Know that you're empty.
To be new
Know that you're worn out.
He who wants it all
Must know what all includes.

Thus, the Master stays centered in Tao
And becomes an example for the world.
Because she knows her light is forfeit
People can see it.
Because she has no point to prove
People can trust her words.
Because she has no identity
She becomes a mirror for others.
Because she has nothing to attain
Nothing can be kept from her.

Thus, when it is said
"To become complete know that you're partial."
It is wise to heed and surrender to it.
Only by living in collaboration with Tao
Can one find completion.

#45 "Beware of Words with Meaning"
To not define your accomplishments
You will always have patience to spare.
To not acknowledge your fullness
You will always have space to spare.

When we define something as straight, we see how crooked it is.
When we define someone as skilled, we focus on how clumsy they are.
When we call a speech eloquent, we notice the stammering therein.

The Master needn't define things,
What they are will arise naturally.
By removing herself, and her need to know,
She can see Tao express itself fully.

#61 "Being Great"
Being great requires the ability to be humble
So as to receive that which is attracted with tranquility.

Attraction is the most primal of expressions
To receive that which is attracted is to know oneself.

All great beings realize when they error, having realized it
They admit it and correct it to the best of their ability.
The greatest beings seek out those who can help identify their faults,
They consider their enemy a part of themselves that requires attention.

To be centered in Tao is to nourish all related things,
To not interfere or meddle in the errors of others.

#68 "Do What you Love to Do"
Great athletes love to play, not win
Great fighters love to fight, not be angry
Great generals love to strategize, not destroy
Great employers love to employ, not be a boss.
Great musicians love to play, not perform.

They are not attached to identities or outcomes,
They simply dance with what they love to do.
This is in harmony with Tao.
