Lately me people are reaching out to me for private lessons, in person or via zoom. Seems more people want one on one attention. Group classes were the norm over the summer. Maybe it's the change of seasons. There are times when people want to go deeper and they are ready to go deeper within themselves so that being in the world is more manageable. In many ways it's a time of global chaos. Yet, we can still find and experience a more peaceful outlook. If you are someone who wants to explore the power of being truly embodied to experience present moment awareness, contact me. Tap into innate wisdom with resources to calm the body and mind to access creative options. DM me or go here --->

Hello friends,

Here is my summer schedule for Alexander Technique lessons - in person or online.

Wednesdays on the Northshore

Monday, Thursday and Saturdays in Woburn
(in person or Zoom)

Friday afternoons in Concord

"She’s excellent at this - I wouldn’t have thought it possible!"
I have gotten a lot out of Jamee’s Alexander Class on Zoom. I was skeptical without hands on but Jamee is always able to spot various places where I am holding a part of my body static rather than relaxing and letting that part “be” and feel space around it. So, zoom has been a great way to practice embodying this technique. I have also gotten a lot out of similar comments she makes to others. Not just things I could benefit from but her going to another person gives me a little “down time” to tune into my body and incorporate what she’s just mentioned. When I had one-on-one lessons I found that all the undivided attention on my body made me feel self-conscious. This way I have more space to work with releasing at my own pace. Jamee really knows her material! She is very experienced and, as I said, can easily spot areas for release over Zoom. I am actually making significantly more headway than I ever did with one-on-one. I would encourage anyone to find out what it’s like to work with Jamee. Also, I thoroughly enjoy the other people in the class. There is a subtle group energy that is lovely. So glad I hooked up with this class!"

Hello friends, here is some more information about the 100 Day Practice program. Day ONE is May 7th, 2024. Learn more here ---> https://100daypractice.com/

The 100 day practice program is focused on accountability. Our vision is to provide partnership, support, encouragement, accountability and a safe place to share about your practice journey. You make a promise to yourself to grow and explore the nature of your being through a daily practice.

Each member has the flexibility to design their own practice. Or, we can help you design a practice based on your goals. It is not a place for lessons although you can connect with some very seasoned practitioners if you want to learn from their skill set.

In past programs people have committed to a daily practice with tai chi, qigong, meditation, writing, learning a language, playing an instrument, bringing a personal project forward…..you choose!

Day One is May 7, 2024
We have run this program 14 times already! This will be our 15th round of committed practice!

We meet on a private FB page. I will invite you in after you commit (to yourself), and pay a fee of $47, (less than 50 cents a day). This payment gesture puts some energy or ‘skin in the game’ to anchor your commitment. The payment button is near the top of the 100 Day website page, scroll donw just a bit and then scroll some more to perhaps enjoy some videos from participants along the way.
——> https://100daypractice.com/

Myself and other seasoned practitioners will be chiming into the private FB group to report on our daily journey and offer support for all. There are some very seasoned practitioners inside who can help motivate and keep all of us going. If you don’t want to come to the FB group daily you don’t have to, it’s simply a way to check in when you have the time.

100 days is a long time yet, so worth the transformation that comes with this kind of commitment!

Our Story

At The Universal Tao Boston we offer all the core tools you need to know for centering and balancing your life force energy or Chi, found within GrandMaster Mantak Chia's Tao system.

The Tao practices are derived from ancient Taoist and Buddhist techniques rooted in the processes of nature and are linked to Traditional Chinese Medicine. They have been gathered and integrated into a coherent, accessible system for well-being. The Tao is not a religion and does not require the belief in any set of deities or gods. The techniques work directly with the life force, Chi or Qi. The aim of the Tao practice is to restore the individual to a condition of harmony with the flow of the forces of nature. Master Chia's method of teaching is direct and practical.

The Universal Tao Boston teaches these ancient and essential tools centering on your own ability to self-heal. These practices require a willingness to take responsibility for one's own health and wellness and asks you to be proactive in your own healing process. We offer Medical Chi Kung techniques as is taught in clinics throughout Asia and exercises centering on developing Chi (or Qi), flow such as:

Relaxation methods for centering, guiding Chi and techniques to emit Chi/energy to heal yourself and others. Do you ever feel like a Human Doing instead of a Human Being? We also teach methods for learning the natural state of BEING PRESENT.
