Here, in this book, the Taoist way is set forth and illustrated. The meditation technique of the Inner Smile teaches you how to get in touch with your inner organs, feel love for them and smile to them, so that stress and negative emotions are transformed into creativity, learning, healing and peak performance energy. Here is also the Taoist way of the Six Healing Sounds, which help to cool down the system, eliminate trapped energy, clean toxins out of the organs, and make it possible for organs to be in peak condition. Along with these ways, you are taught how to freely circulate your Chi energy throughout your Microcosmic Orbit. These are the Taoist foundations of true success, power and health.
Mantak Chia is a Taoist Master. He is best known for teaching his Taoist practices under the names of Healing Tao, Tao Yoga, Universal Healing Tao System and Chi Kung. Throughout decades of teaching, he has run numerous workshops, written a series of books, and published a number of training videos. For this reason, some people call him an author, a teacher or a healer. He views himself primarily as a teacher, "who helps his students empower themselves through cultivation of their chi energy."

This book basically teaches you 2 techniques- the inner smile and the healing sound. Those techniques are essential if you want to practice any higher level practice in Mantak Chias system, and they also deliver many benefits of their own.
I personally think this book is actually better than the more popular "awakening healing energy through the tao" The main difference between those two books is that while this book doesn't attempt you to teach you the microcosmic orbit, healing energy omits the healing sounds. And In my opinion the healing sounds are more important for the beginner.
i actually liked this book.i used the techniques every night4about2months,then stopped(like anything,perseverence is the key).it really worked.u get in touch with your organs.really.it's worth while2get this book,try it out4a while,then c what u think&what it does4u. 2bad i stopped.it's great meditation. each healing sound is 4a different body organ&it works wonders the organs need some care...bottom line.try it. if u r already in2meditating,this is a book4u.
To claim that a follower cured herself of cancer by repeating the 'inner smile', is incredibly cruel and destructive. I could go on about the how and why, but I hope it's evident.
