of Taoist Cosmic Healing extends gratitude to the many generations of Taoist
masters who have passed on their special lineage, in the form of an oral
transmission, over thousands of years. We thank Taoist master I Yun (Yi Eng) for
his openness in transmitting the formulas of Taoist Inner Alchemy.
Thanks to Juan Li for the use of his beautiful and visionary paintings
illustrating Taoist esoteric practices.
We offer our eternal gratitude to our parents and teachers for their many gifts
to us. Remembering them brings joy and satisfaction to our continued efforts in
presenting the Universal Tao system. As always, their contribution has been
crucial in presenting the concepts and techniques of the Universal Tao.

healing arts who developed many of the methods and ideas presented in this
book. We also wish to express thanks to Cosmic Healing Certification Retreat
organizers around the world who have worked with us for many years helping to
