Do you want to embrace the wonder of the Tao? Journey inward to journey outward? As he has done for decades, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod talks about the path of spiritual freedom and down-to-Earth, everyday living well.
This podcast releases a new episode the first Friday of the month. To subscribe to the weekly episode, please visit the website.
In this episode, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod reminds us that it’s OK to be “in the world” while you gradually convert your social-mind into tao-mind.
Welcome to Living the Tao, a Spiritual Podcast that explores how ancient wisdom, a practical perspective, and deep truth can empower you to live your best life.
Spiritual Freedom and Living Well-- What Does That Mean?
Hi, I am Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod, a lineage holder of the 1,500 year old 4 Ascendant Sphere Purity Adept School of the Tao. That’s a mouth full, isn’t it?
If you give me a minute, I would like to paint a picture for you.
Imagine if you will it is a starry night, a bit brisk, and you’ve gone for a solo stroll in the darkness. Up ahead, you see a group of people, a mix of ages, different sexes and races, gathered around a real blazer of a campfire–sparks are shooting off of it and rising to the heavens.
You approach, but stand at a distance. Maybe it is out of respect. Maybe out of caution–you don’t know who these freaks are. Maybe it is simply out of desire to continue on your own.
You hear people speak. Some talk about their own stories– their triumphs, their confusion, their pain and their wonder. Some speak the great questions of existence. Some about just living a little better.
You take a seat, because their stories are your stories. Maybe you’ll stay for a bit–not even you know.
One gent seems to be the organizer, the speaker. He speaks the lessons of history. He answers some questions. He asks more.
“How can I be free?”
“How can I feel good?”
“How can my life be better?”
That’s what this podcast does. It is an ongoing talk I have had for decades, but on a modern platform that I believe makes it more accessible.
Give it a try! After all, it’s just a podcast.
