Taoist Inner Alchemy
Taoist inner alchemy seeks to achieve longer life, purity and closeness to the Tao, and to transform the elements within the body into purer forms that will promote the energy of life.
The practice retains the alchemical link by using the language of making an elixir and of chemical transformation to describe internal spiritual development. Taoists also use the imagery and energy of nature to build up their own life force and to find the balance and harmony of nature within.
