HTIA is an organization of Healing Tao Instructors who have been certified to teach specific Taoist Chi Kung & Meditation methods originally taught by Master Mantak Chia. Many of us have been personally trained by Master Chia; others have been trained by Senior Instructors who have been personally trained by Master Chia. Teacher training programs here in the United States continue to create new instructors. We are artists, business people, healers, martial artists, performers, therapists, and writers to name a few. Some of us have been practicing this system for over twenty years. All of us are dedicated to our Chi Kung practice and to sharing the knowledge we have learned and experienced through this important vehicle of self-healing and spiritual wisdom.
