About this title: THE GREAT STILLNESS is Volume 2 in The Water Method of Taoist Mediation series. The big challenge in the preparatory phase of Taoist meditation is learning to concentrate on what you are doing for an extended time without becoming distracted. One of the best ways to achieve relaxed concentration is through Taoist breathing exercises. These form the building blocks of the Taoist internal martial arts, yoga, meditation and chi gung.
