Welcome to Healing Dao Therapies Body Mind Spirit Healing Yoga, Qigong, Taichi in Healesville, Lilydale, & Yarra valley. At Healing Dao, they believe in creating a healing space that caters to individuals from various backgrounds, each with their own unique memories, concepts, and belief systems. They value the sovereignty of each person in determining the most suitable path for their own life.
Healing Dao encourages you to interpret and navigate your own experience, with the hope that we can all view ourselves and others through the lens of impartial kindness and curiosity. These principles are deeply rooted in the teachings of Nature, which offers valuable lessons on strength through gentleness.
Qigong, Dao Yoga, Taichi, and Oriental medicine are the core practises at Healing Dao. These ancient traditions are based on the philosophy that recognises humanity's place between the cosmos and the Earth. Similar to many traditional worldviews, the Dao/Taiji philosophy seeks to understand the external world by turning inward. It acknowledges our interconnectedness with nature and the impact we have on one another.
By understanding the patterns in Nature and how our body, mind, and spirit respond to them, our lives are nourished. Qigong, Dao Yoga, Taichi, and Oriental medicine serve as tools to help us align with these patterns, leading to more enjoyable, peaceful, and conscious lives. These practises allow us to feel connected to Life and the Life-giving energies that surround us.
Dao Yoga, also known as Dao Yin, is an ancient Chinese exercise that combines breathing techniques and stretching. Led by heart-mind intention, it focuses on massaging the internal organs and harmonising the energy channels in the body. Qi Gong, on the other hand, translates to energy work or cultivation. It guides internal awareness to harmonise within ourselves and with the outside world, including the environment and nature.
Healing Dao also offers Moxa therapy, which utilises medicinal grade aged mugwort from Japan. Moxa involves the burning of mugwort on specific meridian channels or points, sending signals to the body to initiate its self-healing process.

Healing Dao also acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present, and emerging Traditional Custodians and Elders of country throughout Australia and acknowledges the continuation of cultural, spiritual, and educational practises of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and all Indigenous peoples.
In conclusion, Healing Dao's approach is influenced by the principles of Dao, as described in Dao De Jing verse 25: “There was something formless and perfect before the Universe was born. It is serene. Empty. Solitary.
Unchanging. Infinite. Eternally present. IT IS THE MOTHER OF THE UNIVERSE.
For a lack of a better name, I call it Dao. It flows through all things, inside and outside, and returns to the origin of all things. The Dao is great. The Universe is great.
Earth is great. Humankind is great. These are the four great talents. Humankind follows the Earth.
Earth follows the Universe. The Universe follows the Dao. Dao only follows itself.
