Daoist Practice

Considered as a whole, Daoist practice (Taoist practice) consists of cosmology, theology, observation, practice principles and guidelines, meditation, health and longevity practices, ethics, dietetics, scripture study, seasonal attunement, geomancy, and ritual. At the root of these various dimensions of Daoist practice resides a commitment to self-cultivation and a recognition of the Dao as an unnamable mystery and all-pervading numinosity. One endeavors to establish and maintain a connection with the sacred and realize the Dao as one's own essential being.
