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.
