The softest thing in the world overcomes the hardest.
- Tao Te Ching
For over 25 years, Paul Chek has guided thousands of clients and hundreds of health professionals to develop a more holistic perspective on health. He’s been at the forefront of the functional fitness and organic food revolutions, and developed a comprehensive system to track lifestyle stresses. Now Paul adds the final component to his system of well-being with his TAO-TE-zen program.
Put simply, TAO-TE-zen is spiritual conditioning. Neither preachy nor dogmatic, the TAO-TE-zen program offers a way to focus on the things that bring meaning in your life. It’s about:
- Making contact with and embracing who you are
- Creating a quiet space to catch your breath and let your stresses slip away
- Being genuinely present with those around you
- Reconnecting with the environment
It’s a simple, almost effortless program. No heavy texts, no dry lectures and no guilt. Here’s how it works.
Paul's Sutras are designed to stimulate creative thought and get you flexing your "spiritual muscles". All you need do is take a few minutes to read it and let your mind do its work!
Each week, Paul will be adding a new Sutra to our growing library. We recommend that you start with one Sutra per week, beginning at the first and working your way up. However, you can always choose the one that sounds right for you at the moment. Either way, you'll have access to all of Paul's Sutras as soon as you register.
And because Paul understands the importance of having a meaningful spiritual practice, access to the TAO-TE-zen program is purely donation based.
We would like to suggest a donation of $30.00, however each month you can donate as much or as little as you like. In fact, if you’re feeling the financial pinch you need not donate anything at all beyond your efforts to deepen your spiritual practice.
