The Tao Te Ching for Everyday Living

Email the podcast: DailyTaoLife@gmail.com Welcome to the Tao Te Ching for Everyday Living. I’m your host, Dan Casas-Murray. This podcast is for the Tao Curious, those looking for a random bit of wisdom once in awhile, or for those who want to dive into this wonderful teaching.I’ve been studying the Tao Te Ching for just short of a year now, and have reconnected with a natural feeling of inner peace and contentment. I don’t hold a doctorate, nor am I qualified to teach anything about the Tao Te Ching - I’m just an ordinary person who has experienced the wonderful side effects of following the Tao. Since everyone’s experience with this wisdom is different, the only thing that I can hope for is that mine helps you to connect with the Tao in your own, unique, personal way. Feel free to listen to each episode a day at a time or any time you need a quick “Tao-shot.” You can listen while on your way to work or after that, when you’re winding down. It’s always a good time to observe the Tao.In each episode, we’ll do four things:1. We’ll read a verse of the Tao Te Ching2. Break it down into everyday language3. I’ll share my own thoughts and experience4. Apply the Verse with a couple of the many ways you can put the Tao into practice for yourself.That’s pretty much how I’ve been practicing the Tao every day - by listening to Lao Tzu, reflecting on his words of wisdom, listening to other comments, and trying to practice them in everyday life.

    Second Time Through
    I am on my second time through all 81 verses with this podcast. It’s a beautiful and relatable guide to the Tao.

    Like experincing the Tao with a friend
    Dan’s approach to each verse of the Tao Te Ching is insightful and relatable. I like to read and reflect on several versions of a verse myself before listening to his take so that I can “compare notes.” I find that there are times we agree in our interpretations, times he opens my eyes to things that I hadn’t thought of, and every once in a great while, times I disagree with him. The thing I love the most about this podcast though is that no matter what, I feel that I’m on a journey through the Tao with a friend, and that makes me smile.

    Simple in the most beautiful way possible
    There is not much I can say other than this podcast isn’t a podcast, but more of a daily teaching with a wonderful soft spoken teacher. Dan’s approach to the Tao has helped me truly understand how to be with the Tao. There is something powerful about learning from an ordinary person rather than a professor or a guru, something that makes you feel like you are not far from the Tao and that anyone, regardless of their place in the world can succumb to the wonderful feeling of the Tao. Thank you Dan.

    This Show Proves Spirituality Doesn’t Need to Be Complex
    I love Dan’s approach to reading and interpreting the Tao Te Ching. I’ve been exploring it for a couple of years now and love how my perspectives have shifted as I expose myself to it. Dan echoes that sentiment and it’s incredibly pleasant to come across a voice like his.
