Seattle Workshop

Movement and breath in meditation-the path to inner silence. HSIN TAO is an extremely powerful self-healing and
regenerative technique practiced secretly inside the Shaolin Monastery of China until the Cultural Revolution.
These simple exercises are as gentle as they are effective in rejuvenating body, mind and spirit. Easier to
learn and practice than conventional types of yoga, this method calms, revitalizes, and realigns the practitioner
at a very deep level.
HSIN TAO requires no endurance or strength. The most immediate effect people experience is an immense stillness
and inner peace.

"Nothing is still. All things have to
move.
We learn to move with force and effort,
against the tide of universal flow, which causes stress, discontent and finally illness.
With Hsin Tao the universal tide moves us,
and we learn to flow ourselves with effortless ease.
When the body understands this, it
brings about a new state of conscious awareness - easy, alert, in harmony.
We become better at what we do, and at being
ourselves.
This is a new model, a new idea of how
to live in the world: without ‘fight or flight’; regenerating, not deteriorating; using every day to relax more
in the thick of chaos; to be still in the midst of movement."
- Ratziel Bander

I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy several years ago. The long
term outlook wasn't good for someone as active as I had been my whole life. I got
to a point where my feet were so numb I could no longer dance, do martial arts,
scuba dive, or any of the things I loved.
In Jan of 2009 the pain and numbness were so bad I had to psyche myself up whenever I
got up to take a step, I could barely walk.
On Jan 15th of 2009 I met Ratziel Bander as a guest on my radio show. I was so
impressed by the energy and knowledge of this amazing man I knew I needed what he
taught.
I began practicing Hsin Tao in Feb and now in April I can walk without pain, I can
dance, do martial arts, and stand on my toes. I can sleep better because I'm not
uncomfortable.
Recently at a workshop I was teaching I did Hsin Tao in the early morning on a beach. I
had no idea anyone was watching me.
I was told later, " You were so stunningly beautiful, the way you moved with such
fluidity and easiness, blending with nature and All There i... Took our breath
away."
Thank you Ratziel for giving my feet and dance back.

I want to add my gratitude to you for sharing Ratziel and his work with
us. I have been practicing twice a day which is amazing to me, the video makes it
so easy to continue what Ratziel transmitted to us in his teaching. My experience
of Ratziel is of an embodied self-master giving us teaching from a pure, alive,
sacred yet perfectly natural tradition. I find myself feeling gently yet profoundly
nourished and bathed in a loving sense of well being from deep inside of me. Hsin
Tao practice feels like drinking from a pure spring. My very, very thirsty Self
thanks you. love,

Usually when I go to the dentist I am white-knuckling it, I am very

Heaven while I was in the dentist chair and I was completely relaxed through the
entire visit!

RATZIEL BANDER
Thirty-five years after recovering from severe polio I was struck with the debilitating
symptoms of Post Polio Syndrome. Pretty soon I’d almost lost my ability to walk. Even small things like brushing
my teeth had become difficult. Regularly I was floored with bodily spasms that incapacitated me for weeks. I
became depressed and angry, old before my time.
One day I was buying herbs from a Tai chi master whom I’d known since my late teens. He sat me in his private room
and explained in his heavy Chinese accent, “I have a secret technique that is good for healing yourself. With it
you can heal almost everything. It’s time, I think, to share it with others. I feel I have to do something good for
the people or my power will leave me. Do you want to be my pupil?”
I’d practiced yoga since the age of 14; taught corrective exercise to dancers; trained actors in movement and
breathing, as well as learned a variety of healing techniques, being involved in establishing the first natural
healing center in Australia in the 1970’s. At my current stage of degeneration nothing worked, not even the
gentlest yoga asana was possible. The efforts of established healers and medical professionals only sped up my
bodily deterioration. Now I was being offered a system of physical exercise kept secret for 1350 years. And a
promise of almost miraculous healing possibilities. I was skeptical to say the least.
The first class was unlike anything I’d ever learned. It was incredibly easy, and caused no distressing side
effects. There was also an inexplicable beauty and wisdom in the movements themselves. It reminded me of Tai Chi
Gung, but was much simpler. Hand and arm movements were linked with breathing, but the breath was not contrived.
The body seemed to breathe on its own. And wonderful for a lazy person like me, most of it was done sitting on a
cushion! There was no stretching, complicated moves, or exertion of any kind. In fact no propensity for exercise
was needed. Yet when I finished I felt stretched and relaxed, as if I’d done a real workout - something I’d been
unable to do for almost eight years.
Practicing for only two days I noticed a huge improvement in my body and emotional state. Suddenly I could do all
the small things that had recently become impossible. It didn’t make sense. How could such an effortless exercise
make me drip with sweat, and bring such rapid and noticeable improvement? When I asked the master he shrugged his
shoulders and said, “I don’t know. Good it’s no longer secret huh? Just wait . . . . keep practicing, and
everything will change.” I still didn’t believe him, but had to admit I was hooked.
After nine months I knew he was right. Everything had definitely changed. I was mobile and active, looking years
younger. The Post Polio Syndrome had been reversed. Two years later I felt completely rejuvenated, dramatically
calmer, and much more mentally alert than I had been for years. The master told me it was time I started
teaching.
My first port of call was Bali where I worked with weight lifters. We were all surprised when their capacity to
lift and press improved by 30 percent in only one week. Since then a broad spectrum of people to whom I have
transmitted this technique have taught me the many applications of Hsin Tao for both physical and emotional well
being. I began to wonder how much easier health maintenance would be if everybody knew how to practice the “The Way
of the Gods”. Then I remembered my teacher’s advice . . . . “Just wait, keep practicing, and everything will
change.
For Workshop Bring: lose clothing, a meditation cushion or pillow, a small blanket to put under your cushion or
pillow and a notebook for writing. If you need to sit on a chair, chairs will be available. Bring drinking water,
too.
Thank you for sharing this information with your friends
and colleagues.
TESTIMONIALS

I am a former tennis professional who got lupus and fibromyalgia. I
tried all different forms of healing exercises. Much to my disappointment when I
tried Tai Chi and Chi Gung I got immediately elated then quickly tired and
exhausted, and had to go home and sleep for hours. I finally was introduced to Hsin
Tao and the results were instant - gentle calmness, balance and a sense of
regeneration. Now I am finally able to work on the healing process myself.

I am a medical doctor. Since 1986 I am learning and teaching Tai Chi
Chuan and Qi Gung. The morning after the HSIN TAO Workshop, I started my daily
routine with the new exercises, following up with my usual Tai Chi movements. What
a surprise! I discovered a spontaneity, ease, and a range unknown to me in my
gestures and a permanent control by my pelvic area, strong and reassuring, as if it
was telling me "at last". The ongoing practice of these apparently simple teachings
gave me some more reasons for astonishment: How unreal time passes during the
static phases, how the body looks for in breaths, spontaneous movements, outbreaths
and pauses freeing it gently from its tensions. We become marveling spectators of
this transforming and regenerating work. At last the true calmness settles in and
it is bliss to treat energetically since one is much more available on all planes
and there is less fatigue.
I am looking forward to learning some further HSIN TAO exercises and curious what other
surprises they keep in stall for me. Thanks to Ratziel for the clarity and sobriety of
his teachings.

For many years I have suffered of heavy migraines that sent me
sometimes to bed, even. After having excluded all dairy products from my foods,
there was an improvement for some time. However, during these last six months I was
hit as often as every other day by migraines. Shortly after the HSIN TAO workshop,
I noticed that I was able to stop the migraines immediately at its beginning by
doing the exercises. Suddenly, I could identify the source and thus avoid some
attacks all together. I am so happy to be able at last to control my migraines
myself ! On top of it I feel lighter, I am less worried and am more trusting in
life and me. Heartfelt thanks for having brought Ratziel to Switzerland !
A week ago, my 19-year-old son was torn away from this life by a train engine. Even in
this tragic situation the HSIN TAO exercises help me to go on living and to stay in
touch with my son.

During the HSIN TAO workshop in Munich, many pieces of the puzzle have
fallen into place. Especially the breathing meditation has given me access to a
completely new way of BEING. One of the side effects was that I stopped smoking,
with such ease, I could not have dreamt of. The sitting exercise, calming the mind,
was of great help. Many thanks, Ratziel, for sharing your experience of HSIN TAO so
lovingly and with such a unique energy.

Ratziel is an amazing being. He is kind and very sensitive in his approach. I find his
Buddha yoga to be relaxing and helpful for inner peace and to calm the mind. HSIN TAO
has helped me connect with my inner self. It has been a wonderful journey.

As designer I am not very securely anchored in this world, like many
other artists. This brought about some tricky situations as well in my family with
our little ones, as in business meetings. Now, with the HSIN TAO exercises, I feel
much more present and in harmony with my body and I am again able to breathe
freely, after several years during which my nose was heavily blocked up. Last week
my father passed away and I am still astonished how I lived through this emotional
time from the deathbed to the funeral, with such equanimity. The unceasing
questions of my kids and their crying are also easier to bear for me. Now, I stay
"cool" longer. I just cannot fathom all the changes these simple, elegant exercises
may still bring about in me.

I came to see Ratziel to learn about Hsin Tao in Los Angeles. As a
pragmatist and somewhat materialistic, I was completely dismissive of anything to
do with eastern healing. After the first 75 minute lesson, I felt an emotional and
physiological shift in my soul. I have continued lessons with Ratziel since then
and can honestly say that the practice of Hsin Tao has been one of the single most
influential and life changing efforts that I have ever made. Hsin Tao has allowed
me to become more unified, whole, and stronger. I have a sense of inner courage
that I have never had before.
I strongly recommend the practice to anyone and feel that if a skeptic like me can
benefit, anyone can.

Dear Ratziel, It is almost two weeks since I attended your workshop in
Woodland Hills and I feel great. I believe I told you that I was diagnosed with
either a herniated disk or a spur in my neck several years ago. I had an MRl and
was told by the doctor that I should have either an operation or steroid shots to
rid myself of the pain. I declined both suggestions and he gave me several
different types of anti inflammations to try. Each caused all kinds of side effects
and I quit taking them. The doctor told me, that no matter what I did, I would
always have pain holding my head erect and tingling in my arm. I discovered MSM
with chicken collagen, which alleviated the pain, but has required daily usage.
While they are not expensive, the pills do cost $20 to $30 per month. I have tried
not using them in the past, but after four or five days I begin to experience
discomfort in my neck, back and left arm.
I felt so good after learning Zen Buddhist Yoga ( Hsin Tao) that I thought I would just
see what would happen if I practiced the techniques and quit using the MSM/chicken
collagen. The results have been great. I am beginning to stand straighter and I have
not experienced any pain or discomfort in my back, neck or arm. In addition, all the
little aches and pains that come with being 70 years old are quickly going away.
Another plus is the increase in energy. Each day I am gaining more energy and the
feeling of well being that goes with it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
with me. I have added Hsin Tao to my daily schedule of meditation. I am currently using
the techniques for about 30 minutes, twice a day.
With deep love and gratitude, -Chuck Campbell, USA

A Webzine article about HSIN TAO caught our attention and ten days
later we took an airplane from Switzerland for Los Angeles to meet Ratziel Bander
who was coming from Australia. He taught us the basic HSIN TAO exercises, which we
immediately practiced daily. Aki, for years a practitioner of different meditation
techniques, Qi Gong and Tai Chi, had never before reached such a deep level of
serenity and calm. She found the pain from past operations disappear and her legs
finally joined with her body once again. Claudine, in a wheelchair since 6 years,
continues to experience much more tonus in her lower body and feels her body in an
evolution of change. She also has more energy for the daily work as well as for
extraordinary situations. Therefore, we decided to invite Ratziel to Europe and
other places so that as many people as possible may have the chance to experience
HSIN TAO's very simple, powerful and elegant exercises of movements and
breathing.

As a Shamballa Master teacher I am very well acquainted with the cosmic
energies. There's one moment when the energies are flowing extremely powerful and
that's when I'm initiating people. These all-encompassing energies flow only at
those moments. So I was very surprised that after doing my Hsin Tao exercises for
the first time, the energies were flowing just as if I was going to do an
initiation.
