Hi and Greetings, need some guidance

[Swordsaint]

Hi everyone,

I'm an avid spiritual seeker that is fairly new to Daoism in practice. I'm familiar with the Tao te Ching and have 2 books on Daoism but I would like to hear from you guys on what are the basic fundamental daily practices that I can do to start on this journey.

 

Thank you and gratitude in advance.

 

Regards,

Swordsaint

Hi Swordsaint,

 

There already are many discussion and studies of Daoism and how to apply the teachings in our everyday life in the sub-forum "Daoist Discussions".  And there are more to come.

 

You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

 

May you enjoy your time here.

Welcome!

Good question.

 

I'd say, Get a meditative sitting practice, a movement practice and work on dropping judgements.
