Tao Basics
"The Tao that can be named, is not the true Tao"
This is the first line of the Tao Teh Ching. This is the book that is stated to be the base of Taoism (like the bible for Christianity, however Taoism is generally not seen as a religion).
Tao can be, at best, described as essence of existence. It also refers to the meaning everything. As most people know the sign of Tao to be a black and white circle divided with a contrasting dot in the opposite (image on the right).
Before understanding anything of Chi Kung, Kung Fu or Chinese medicine in general, it is important to understand how it is "built" from Tao.
