The Tao, or the watercourse way, asks us to experience life directly through our felt sense and not through thought or language, says Taoist scholar Ken Cohen.

Ken is the author of “The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing” and more than 150 journal articles. He co-authored, with Tu Xin-Shi, China's gold medal artist, “Autumn Leaves: The Wisdom and Art of Chinese Calligraphy.” Ken is an adjunct professor at Union Graduate School and presents at universities and conferences throughout the world.
