A powerful Inner Child guided meditation to help you replace emotional overwhelm with inner peace - with Taoist monk and teacher, David James Lees.

So many of us live spinning—mentally, emotionally—tied to old cycles of reaction. Round and round we go: anger, shame, fear, self-doubt. It may be familiar, but familiarity is not truth. That’s the voice of our Inner Child, clinging to certainty. But now, we can choose something different. We can choose to understand and accept that we no longer need to ride this emotional carousel — we can choose calm, stillness and clarity...

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how you can drop the burden of proving, performing, and perfecting and know your true value.

Have you ever believed that your worth must be earned, proven, or validated by others? Do you often find yourself chasing approval, striving to be “good enough,” only to end up exhausted and unfulfilled? Do you sometimes hear the voice of your Inner Child whispering, “Will I ever be enough just as I am?”

David unpacks these questions and offers a gentle path back to the truth of who you already are.

The Tao teaches that just as rivers flow and mountains stand tall without needing permission or applause, we too are worthy by our existence. There is nothing we must do to earn this worth. No approval we must gain. No role we must play...

Discover the Taoist Law of Attraction ‘Yi Ta Qi Tao’ - this ancient teaching will radically change your perspective on manifestation, energy, and alignment.

In this episode, we explore how our intention (yi), when it arises from truth and authenticity, naturally guides and attracts the movement of positive life energy (qi)—and how this alignment allows life to unfold with grace, ease, and flow, rather than resistance and control…

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.

Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path?

Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You’ll learn how humility isn’t about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos.

In this meditation, we gently explore the roots of our need for control and rediscover that trust, not certainty, is our natural sanctuary.
