HISTORY OF TAI YI By Hossca Harrison Life Energy Flow is the western name used for the ancient form of healing called Tai Yi. Tai Yi can have many different meanings depending on the use of the words. In reference to Life Energy Flow Tai Yi the meaning is Supreme Movement. Supreme Movement also means Supreme Health. Tai Yi predates acupuncture by several thousand years in the history of China. Although Tai Yi or Supreme Movement comes from much earlier times beyond the civilization of China, it is the Chinese history I shall discuss. Tai Yi is a healing principle using all meridians from all bodies. Acupuncture is a result of the ancient Tai Yi practice. Documents discovered some years ago in the Mawangdui tomb in China, which was sealed in 198 BCE, contain no reference to acupuncture as such, but does refer to a system of meridians very different from the current use of meridians used in acupuncture. This is typical of Tai Yi. Over time Tai Yi became localized and was used in the mountainous area of northwest China, west of the Min River, near the border of Tibet, in Szechuan by an ancient people called the Chiang Tribe. This ancient tribe is one of the "lost" tribes of Israel. During the last two thousand years their traditions have adopted some of the Chinese traditions, but for the most part continue with the ancient traditions of the tribes of Israel. According to their traditions the Chiang Tribe is a direct descendant of Abraham.
It was from this connection the Chiang Tribe carried Tai Yi to the Middle East two thousand years ago. Those who are studying Tai Yi from me or read my book “Tide of Change”, are aware of my involvement in teaching Tai Yi during the Essene time period two thousand years ago. It is from this connection I was again taught Tai Yi by the same elder Tai Yi master who also existed in the Essenes and was of Chinese descent. It was his desire I master Tai Yi and set up a school to teach Tai Yi so this form of healing may continue again. Tai Yi has all encompassing healing treatments with over 4,000 grid systems (exercises) to work with the meridians on every body of the twelve bodies humans have. This is why Tai Yi works so well not just as a physical healing tool, but also mental, emotional and spiritual healing tool.
Tai Yi died out centuries ago in Europe, descendants from the students I taught during the Essenes. Human nature seems to want to alter or change something of ancient value to put their ego personality into it. This was done to Tai Yi. Ones would begin to put their own ego into Tai Yi and alter its method thus causing Tai Yi to lose its value as a healing practice. What I teach my students today are three points which must be met for Tai Yi to be successful. 1. All the points of the grid system must be accurate and placed in order by the Tai Yi practitioner. 2. The Tai Yi practitioner must send full universal energy into the client. 3. The client must be willing to accept the energy.
According to my Tai Yi teacher who lived in China I am the only one now teaching Tai Yi. I have instituted many safeguards keeping Tai Yi pure. Even the safeguards I have instituted will not keep the determined fraudulent personalities from claiming to be a student of mine, or simply using bits and pieces of Tai Yi which will not work or can create harm when not used in its correct grid design. I have recently set up a level system for my students. This is a similar system used in the practice of martial arts. The level system starts at 1.1 and goes to 12.12. Before anyone can teach Tai Yi they must have reached a level of 12.12. This means they have mastered in totality the energy, philosophy, and full practice of Tai Yi.
As my teacher was with me, I am with my students in terms of being on the conservative side of testing the level of their Tai Yi ability. I consider anyone of my students with a level ability of 5.0 or above to be of excellent ability, and have the authorization of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing to set up their own practice as a certified Tai Yi practitioner. In the ancient Chinese tradition of Tai Yi, a teacher will choose a primary student to prepare to continue the teachings of Tai Yi. As I was my teacher's primary student (actually only student) I have chosen a primary student whose name is Joseph Armeanio. Joseph is currently working and assisting me with Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing classes, and gives advisories to students locally and on Skype for those students living in other states and overseas. At this time the Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is full. We do not have physical room for additional students. This may change in the future. If you would like to be considered for an opening in the school please e-mail us at Hossca@aol.com and request to be put on a list of potential students of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing. Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is the only school teaching and certifying Tai Yi Practitioners.
I have carried many labels in this life, medium, healer, and founder of Universal Education Foundation, Jonah Life Institute llc, and Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing. I see them as simply labels, not who I am. I was asked the question once, with all these labels how do you, as Hossca see Hossca. My reply, I see myself as a philosopher of life. Philosophy is my love, my passion. I could stand in front of an audience and speak philosophy for 12 hours without notes and then continue for days. When I founded Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing I wanted this school to be different from other healing schools. I want my students to not just understand Tai Yi and its power, I want my students to understand and live the philosophy of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi. Anyone who simply wants to memorize Tai Yi exercises will never master Tai Yi. A teaching taught to me by my teacher over and over again. Tai Yi means supreme movement. The name Tai Yi, in and of itself, does not describe the full purpose being used here. The name Life Energy Flow is the description of Tai Yi, meaning allowing life energy flow to be the supreme movement in life, to live in full abundance of health, joy, peace, and wisdom. The philosophy I teach is supreme movement of self empowerment, self love, self responsibility, and becoming the master of your own life.The purpose of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is to bring forth and teach my students, this ancient form of hands on healing and its philosophy. Life Energy Flow Tai Yi healing modality is thousands of years old. Tai Yi became lost in the many political and social upheavals of China over the millenniums. Many Chinese writings had become lost due to politicians rewriting the ancient language, changing the meaning and value of words. My teacher lived from 1896 to 2009. I was his primary and only student from 1982 to 2009. I made a commitment to my teacher not just to teach Tai Yi, but to keep Tai Yi pure. There are many elements in our society that attempt to pollute that which is pure, including but not limited to our foods, water, spiritual heritage, spiritual history, and our minds. I take seriously my commitment to keep Tai Yi pure. This is why it is very important for all my students to fully understand and live the philosophy of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi.
The founding principles which make Life Energy Flow Tai Yi unique are built upon the teaching of 12 bodies, with each body having its own set of meridians and a grid system that connects all bodies and meridians. This is an ancient teaching from thousands of years ago, forgotten by most. Most if not all, current eastern spiritual teachings state there are 7 bodies. As the human body became denser vibrationally, the other 5 bodies became as nonexistent. The teaching taught at Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is what makes Tai Yi so unique. Many understand the physical body has meridians, as made popular in acupuncture. Currently there are no healing modalities (except Tai Yi) that teach the meridian and grid system of all 12 bodies. As Tai Yi becomes more known others will begin to understand the existence not only of the 12 bodies, but that each body has its own unique meridian system. Tai Yi incorporates within its grids all or part of the 12 bodies per exercise; this makes all 4,446 Tai Yi exercises exceptionally powerful hands on healing modality. What does this mean for you the client of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi? You are able to get to the core of the issue from wherever it came, to heal the core.
Each student is taught it is imperative the grid system is 100% accurate for each Tai Yi exercise preformed. The grid will direct the energy into whatever body or bodies are in need of alignment, and what meridians are in need of healing. Precise points for precise healing. (For more understanding read my article on Universal Energy on this web site.) Each of the 12 bodies has 12 major meridians (144). Each major meridian has 12 minor meridians (1,728), and each minor meridian has 12 sub meridians each (20,736). As you can see, Tai Yi offers an exercise for virtually every aliment that exists, including past/future life healing. Currently Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is full. We do have a wait list for ones seeking to become students. If you desire to become a student of Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing, it is recommended you study some of the topics Jonah has taught on CD to gather an understanding, available at www.Jonahlifeinstitute.com. I have found those who study Jonah’s teachings have a much higher rate of success in learning to master Tai Yi. Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing is a non religious, non sectarian school. There is nothing to join. All of our teachings are about self empowerment and mastering your own unique pathway.
