Welcome.

This is an 81-day journey through the Tao Te Ching, explored one verse at a time through the healing lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS).
 

Each chapter includes the original Taoist verse, followed by a clear, grounded explanation. But we don’t stop at the mind. With every line, we also turn inward inviting your parts to notice what stirs, what resists, what softens. You’ll be offered reflection questions, drawing prompts, or gentle pauses to meet what arises.
 

This isn’t a mystical overview or scholarly commentary.
It’s a path back to Self, one breath, one part, one verse at a time.

You’ll find each chapter listed below.  Click to explore at your own pace, with your own presence. Let this path be a bench. Let each verse be a breath.
