 Mantak Chia

Master Mantak Chia is the creator of the Universal Healing Tao system, one of the three elements of MAYOGA and he is one of Mayte's Mentor.


A bit more about him and his life:

Mantak Chia was born in Thailand to Chinese parents in 1944.

When he was six years old, Buddhist monks taught him how to sit and “still the mind.”

Since childhood, he has been studying the Taoist approach to life.

His mastery of this ancient knowledge, enhanced by his study of other disciplines, has resulted in the development.

While still a grammar school student, he learned traditional Thai boxing. He was then taught Tai Chi Chuan by Master Lu, who soon introduced him to Aikido, Yoga and broader levels of Tai Chi.

Years later, when he was a student in Hong Kong excelling in track and field events, a senior classmate named Cheng Sue-Sue introduced him to his first esoteric teacher and Taoist Master, Master Yi Eng (I Yun). At this point, Master Chia began his studies of the Taoist way of life in earnest.

He learned how to circulate energy through the Microcosmic Orbit and, through the practice of Fusion of the Five Elements, how to open the other Six Special Channels.

As he studied Inner Alchemy further, he learned the Enlightenment of the Kan and Li, Sealing of the Five Senses, Congress of Heaven and Earth and Reunion of Heaven and Man. It was Master Yi Eng who authorized Master Chia to teach and heal.

When Mantak Chia was in his early twenties he studied with Master Meugi in Singapore, who taught him Kundalini, Taoist Yoga and the Buddha Palm. He was soon able to clear blockages to the flow of energy within his own body. He learned to pass the life force energy through his hands also, so that he could heal Master Meugi’s patients. He then learned Chi Nei Tsang from Dr. Mui Yimwattana in Thailand.

A while later, he studied with Master Cheng Yao-Lun who taught him the Shao-Lin Method of Internal Power. He learned the closely guarded secret of the organs, glands and bone marrow exercise known as Bone Marrow Nei Kung and the exercise known as Strengthening and Renewal of the Tendons. Master Cheng Yao-Lun’s system combined Thai boxing and Kung Fu. Master Chia also studied at this time with Master Pan Yu, whose system combined Taoist, Buddhist and Zen teachings. Master Pan Yu also taught him about the exchange of Yin and Yang power between men and women, and how to develop the Steel Body.

To understand the mechanisms behind healing energy better, Master Chia studied Western anatomy and medical science for two years. While pursuing his studies, he managed the Westetner Company.

Using his knowledge of Taoism, combined with the other disciplines. He eventually trained other Instructors to communicate this knowledge and he established the Natural Healing Center in Thailand. Five years later, he decided to move to New York, where in 1979, he opened the Universal Healing Tao Center. During his years in America, Master Chia continued his studies in the Wu system of Tai Chi with Edward Yee in New York.

In June 1990, Master Chia was honored in San Francisco by the International Congress of Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong (Chi Kung) who named him the first recipient of the Qigong Master of the Year award. He received this award again in 2012.

In 1994, Master Chia moved back to Thailand.

In December 2000, was completed with two Meditation Halls, two open air Simple Chi Kung Pavilions, indoor Tai Chi, Tao Tao Yin and Chi Nei Tsang Hall, Tai Chi Natural Swimming Pool, Pakua Center, Internal World Class Weight Lifting Hall and complete Eight Court Recreational Facilities.

In February 2002, creating a complete environment for the higher level Taoist practices.

In September 2003 Master Chia opened the Spa using Western and Eastern Technology with Traditional Thai Massage, India Aveda Therapies and Chinese Chi Nei Tsang Massage. The Spa is supervised by trained and certificated Medical Doctors, MDs with Holistic Degrees providing Colonic Therapy, Stem Cell Cancer Prevention and Natural Cancer Cure Treatments and complete in March 2004.

In March 2004 the Complete Holistic Mind, Body and Spirit Training was introduce at Tao Garden.

In July 2009 Master Chia introduced the Five Star Eight Forces Detox Spa with Saunas, Therapy Color Heated Pool, Jacuzzi, and Internal Massage Treatments. This was also introduced with Raw Food and Fasting Program with Organic Juice Bar.

In September 2010 the Universal Healing Tao Instructors celebrated thirty years of Master Chia’s teaching with the Tao Congress in Thailand at Tao Garden having over 100 instructors present for the celebration. During these years Master Chia has taught tens of thousands of students throughout the world. He has trained and certified over 1,500 instructors and practitioners.

In April 2011, THE WATKINS REVIEW listed Master Mantak Chia as No. 23 on its list of the most influential spiritual leaders and authors alive today.

In 2012 THE MIND BODY SPIRIT MAGAZINE (previously The Watkins Review) ranks Master Mantak Chia as number 18 of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. This list serves as a positive guide to some of the leading modern teachers alive today. The Watkin’s Mind Body Spirit magazine selected leaders whose impact on world spiritual development was most inspirational in these times.

In August 2016, Universal Healing Tao instructors & students celebrated thirty-five years of Master Chia’s teaching with the event “Back to the Source” in Thailand having over 100 participants present.

Master Chia is a warm, friendly and helpful man who views himself primarily as a teacher. He presents the Universal Tao System in a straightforward and practical manner, while always expanding his knowledge and approach to teaching. He uses a word processor for writing and is totally at ease with the latest computer technology.

​

Master Chia is the author of more than two dozens of books and numerous videos.

We estimate that it will take more than fifty books to convey the full Universal Healing Tao System.

​

MAYOGA Australia is proud of being part of The Universal Healing Tao practical system of self-cultivation and spiritual development.

​

Mayte is a certified Tao instructor and very happy to share this wisdom with You.
