Listen "Episode 12 - As Me Anything (Vol1)"
Episode Synopsis
In this special Ask Me Anything episode of The Modern Taoist, we set aside themes and verses to answer your questions directly. From the simple to the mysterious, from daily practice to the afterlife, Taoism has room for it all.
In this bonus conversation, I take on questions like:
🌿 What does a Taoist daily practice look like for a beginner?
🌿 How do you find Tao in the middle of a city of concrete?
🌿 Do Taoists believe in destiny, or is it all chance and choice?
🌿 What does Taoism say about the afterlife?
🌿 Do Taoists fast—and if so, why?
🌿 Who created the yin–yang symbol, and why does it appear in so many traditions?
Taoism doesn’t always give neat, final answers—but it offers ways to live into the questions. My hope is that in hearing these, you’ll discover your own questions echoed, and maybe even sparked anew.
