Introduction

"Always keep in mind how many things you yourself have witnessed that you have already changed. The universe is change, life is understanding."

Marcus Aurelius

This book illustrates the origin, the founding principles and the practical strategies of an energetic rebalancing system called TAI®, Inner Alchemy Techniques, able to help you to live with greater awareness and well-being and guide you to become master of yourself. Thanks to a series of simple but deep strategies you can learn how to use your inner energies in a new, effective and intensive way, recalibrate the spirit-mind-body system and make it more functional. TAI uses a series of codes that improve the conscious rebalancing of inner energies and the development of human potentials, and it is placed within a larger system called the "Inner Path". In my opinion there are no universally valid and functional techniques for everyone: each human being is unique, and will be in a different phase of life. This needs multiple approaches also considering the different phase of life the person is living. Moreover, each method acts in a different way according to the "terrain" of the user, or to its unique and inimitable inner coordinates. That is why it is important to have lots of arrows at your bow, in order to have more chances to hit the target. Also, because Life often keeps surprises that force you to make choices and find a new balance, just like I did a few years ago.

Have you ever seen the world you know collapse without having any idea of how your new reality can be? To feel that "a wave" has reached the shore and has exhausted his force? Well, it happened to me a few years ago. I had been living in Switzerland for several years, working with a training company, and things were apparently going well. Yet, one night I couldn’t fall asleep because of the many thoughts that filled my mind. While applying different relaxation techniques, I was in a state of such high alert that nothing seemed to give me relief. Meanwhile the dawn was approaching. It seemed like an endless night as I realized that sleep was now impossible. I was aware of inner conflicts regarding my future, so I started to say some words of intention. I put one hand on my heart (as in the HAT technique) and the other on the Hara center, energy hub in Chinese and Japanese martial arts. I remembered the third center of energy, according to the Eastern tradition, located in the middle of the forehead, the so-called "Third Eye". I knew that the path that energy follows, from the bottom up, in the constant process of refining from the coarse to th subtle, from the material to the spiritual, takes place through the three centers.

When the day was dawning, the anguish I had felt had given way to the enthusiasm of the search. Accustomed to moving energy by stimulating the access points to the meridians, the possibility of doing so just through the three great centers of the human being led me not to feel fatigue. In my insomnia the three Dantian (so are called the three energy centers in Chinese) had turned out to be amplifiers of intent, a huge help for those who know and use the power of speech but tend to stay in the mind too. After this experience I left for Como, in Italy, where I had an appointment with a friend who taught martial arts and practiced holistic techniques. I settled on the bed and soon fell asleep. At the end of the massage Fabrizio felt the need to give me a book on internal martial arts. I opened it randomly and my gaze fell on a curious illustration: "the three Dantians"! Inside of me I smiled to Life, thanking it for the synchronistic confirmation. From that moment and for many years I dedicated myself to research, in an attempt to combine the power of intention with the focus on the centers. After various experiments on myself and on numerous, unaware "guinea pigs", I refined and distilled the essence of my research: the Inner Alchemy Techniques (TAI®). This new self-help and guided change system is born from the integration of several methods that together provide a new, simple and affordable means of inner transformation for everyone. The expert of energy techniques will recognize elements of EFT, NLP, HAT (Heart Assisted Therapy), meditation, IEP (Intention-based Energy Process), Logosynthesis, Chi Kung, Taoism and several other influences both theoretical and practical. Years of study in the field of personal growth have allowed me to learn a lot and to come to TAI as a result. Thanks to this method, after identifying the disturbing energy traces still present in your inner horizon, you can apply specific protocols to generate a real "alchemy" (transformation) of your awareness, releasing the energy until then crystallized in old patterns preserved at the physical, emotional and mental levels and directing it towards your goals. The name TAI derives from three characteristics possessed by the method: Techniques, from the Greek teNchne, (art); Alchemy, or transformation; Interior, because it addresses the internal horizon of the human being, its subtle dimension. This approach, like everything that is alive, is constantly changing. At the time of writing the book, TAI consists of two main strategies:

• External art, mainly focused on the processing of impressions, the basic version of TAI;

• Internal art, focused on the process of refining and energy orientation; it is the most suitable version to transform dysfunctional reactions in a constructive way.

This subdivision, which is inspired by the ancient Chinese martial arts, actually proceeds from a need: to allow the practitioner to benefit from the method in the most complete and profound possible way, having available effective strategies on representations (mainly external art) and on dysfunctional reactions (essentially internal art). In the proposed exercises you will find examples focused on both modes. The effect of a disciplined application of TAI, although it is still to be investigated in the long term, is definitely interesting for the researcher as well as for anyone wishing to let go of their burdens, finally giving way to potential unexpressed.

Another noteworthy feature is that the practice of TAI allows to identify the compensations that the spirit-mind-body system has created over time and dissolve them. What often prevents the application of energy techniques at a deep level is precisely the presence of compensations, which have become unconscious, which limit access to the fragile nuclei of the human being. They contribute to the creation of what is known as a false personality or mask in the context of inner research. Being able to contact fragile nuclei without triggering an automatic reaction (often experienced as self- sabotage) is a privilege reserved to a few. The progressive application of TAI allows you to become aware of the inconsistent energy traces and the different strategies of the mask, gradually dissolving both. TAI is conceived as an active instrument of alchemy in any moment, place and condition.

By using together, the power of intention, conscious breathing and focusing on the three centers of vital energy transformation (Dantian) you can achieve deep and lasting results in terms of vitality, well-being, level of consciousness and inner peace. Every difficulty and obstacle can be transformed, thanks to TAI, into an opportunity to identify and untie your knots, to acquire a solid discipline of self- consciousness, meditation and rebalancing.

Any technique, which is however a tool, fits on a theoretical system that motivates its operation and provides the practitioner with a map to understand the origin of the phenomena. TAI is the result of my reflections on life and the nature of change, as well as many years of experience with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and with Energy Techniques in the field of coaching and training. To explain how I came to conceive TAI, I briefly expose the key points. Thousands of years ago, while meditating in the forest, an Indian prince realized that in the universe nothing remains but everything is constantly changing, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said with his famous panta rei. Even our beloved Sun, which allows life on this planet and shines on the righteous and the wicked, will one day come to an end -moreover, it is well known that entropy does not look at anyone. Prince Siddhartha came to determine that the primary cause of suffering is the "invigorating attachment" to the positive as well as the negative aspects of existence. Being attached to something (of the past, but also to a future scenario or a thought) forgetting that its impermanent aspect prevents us from living in the here-and-now and from taking lessons and opportunities that life provides in the present. This does not mean avoiding affections and bonds but, on the contrary, renewing them every day in the light of the fact that, simply, everything flows. "There is only one wisdom: to recognize the intelligence that governs all things through all things,” said Heraclitus. Life is a kind of intelligent organism, composed of the existences of all beings with their thoughts, emotions, experiences, ideas, fantasies, fears, expectations, impressions. This unique, immense organic manifestation is alive in time and space and I like to call it "space-time plasma", a term that evokes a substance halfway between liquid and solid, intelligent and that responds to the frequencies emitted by each being. For this reason I tend to search inside the origin of what manifests itself outside, in the form of an event. It is neither easy nor automatic, it requires a high expenditure of mental energy (it is more convenient to blame the outside), but it can give several satisfactions besides metaphorical "blows on the teeth".

I think that looking inside is the first and most important act to be done, without attributing itself powers that human beings do not actually possess. If it is true that each of us has a considerable range of choice and action to determine our own destiny, it is acknowledged that there are forces and influences which are very difficult to escape and which must be considered as belonging to higher orders of magnitude. A natural disaster, an epidemic, a war, an economic crisis, no matter if it is the result of chance or, as often happens, planned at the desk, are part of those phenomena that occur regardless of the will of the individual. They happen because of a number of factors among which the volitive component of the individual is often minimal. When you are in a situation much bigger than yourself you can certainly change the way you live and react to it, and at the same time realize that your possibilities of response are limited and mostly inadequate to stop such a vast and complex phenomenon. After exploring and meditating on ideas such as "you create your reality 100%", I have come to the conclusion that it is the opposite extreme of fatalism, according to which everything is already decided and it is useless to do anything. I really like the Latin maxim "in medio stat virtus", the virtue is in the middle, and it seems effective both to elaborate more balanced visions and to offer practical solutions, which urges me to look inside myself respecting the orders of magnitude of life. After all, only human beings could conceive a totally anthropocentric vision of existence.

I am also aware that life is regulated by balancing forces that tend to bring the various systems back into homeostasis. That means nothing can get out of balance for very long. Any system, from the simplest to the most complex, is regulated by forces that push it to find a balance, a guarantee of self- perpetuation. This does not mean that the balance reached is optimal or beneficial for the elements that make up the system. Sometimes satisfaction, realization of potentials and, in extreme cases, the very existence of one or more elements are sacrificed for survival: a phenomenon observed by generations of human beings, often without being really understood. In the history of humanity, the action of the balancing forces has been attributed to the will or whim of the gods (and later of God), to Fate, to the intervention of some spirit (benevolent or malignant, also depending on points of view), in general, the manifestation of supernatural forces. Among people, in whose life "high" and "low" phases are usually alternated, a kind of superstition is widespread, so if things are going well, it is better not to shout it from the rooftops, otherwise there will be a rapid decline in luck. I think this apotropaic ritual comes from the perception of those forces acting to bring order where systems are temporarily deprived of it. The method of the Family Constellations and, more generally, the study of psycho- genealogy help to realize how strong is, on the part of each system, the tendency towards balance and order, even at the expense of the individual elements that compose it. Moreover, what regulates the functioning of these forces seems to be the space-time plasma that "responds" to thoughts, moods, intentions, in a word to frequencies that can have various degrees of coherence. The more an individual is able to generate coherent frequencies, the more he can influence the space-time plasma and encourage the manifestation of what he means. Hence the possibility, to a certain extent, of changing the exterior (or even our perception of it) by transforming the interior. This requires energy, or the ability to act, which is sometimes unavailable because it is misused, often to maintain self-limiting circuits instead of optimizing one’s own expression. The vital energy feeds the consciousness, which can vibrate at different frequencies, helping to determine the type of reality that manifests itself. From the study of physics, we know that blue has a specific wavelength while red has another; the same applies to sounds but also to thoughts and emotions. Energy can manifest itself simultaneously as a wave and as a particle and can coagulate in the past (events), in hypothetical scenarios of which we are not fully aware (fantasies), in various beliefs and ideas.

The basic assumption of the theoretical model of TAI is that everything is a field of consciousness, manifested in different forms and frequencies. Where there are imbalances and disharmonious patterns, the best strategy to achieve change is the conscious rebalancing of energies, in a sort of constant updating of the spirit-mind-body system.

The computer comparison is useful to illustrate the phenomenon. A living being receives a constant and uninterrupted flow of "impressions" that blend with the internal representations produced by organic apparatuses. This entails the need for a continuous management of impressions, entrusted to mostly automatic processes with a view to energy savings and greater efficiency. Nature operates similar shortcuts whenever possible, from the respiratory phases (usually without the concurrence of the will) to the digestive ones; even much of the mental processes are the result of associations and concatenations. Although these automatisms are largely functional, there are situations in which they lose their advantageous characteristics and become ambivalent: what was intended as beneficial becomes a source of suffering and restriction. In these cases we speak of representation no longer functional that needs an "update", just like an obsolete computer program. Any process for this to happen requires a certain amount of energy. Here energy techniques find meaning as a tool that can facilitate the updating of the spirit-mind-body system and to promote a new level of order, that is, an inner harmony and with the systems of belonging. This process is gradual and constant, because the living is by definition inserted in the flow of time and subject to its laws. In other words, what was functional in the past may no longer be functional in the present and therefore require a revision that was not available or useful until then. As it happens with computers, to update a program you need not only the latest version, but it is essential to have enough space (memory) to install it and energy to power the procedure. Before accepting a new idea, another way of thinking or feeling, it is therefore necessary to carefully prepare the interior ground through what can be defined an alchemical process, known by names and forms different from all civilizations. It is a modern version of it, suitable for human beings today, that I have given the name of "Inner Path", a system that uses four methods to be practiced individually or in synergy with each other. As in an orchestra, it serves the contemporary or consecutive contribution of various instruments to generate a melody. Hence the strategy: create a concert that allows each individual method to give the best. The heart of this approach is a new method called TAI, Inner Alchemy Techniques, to which this manual is dedicated. With TAI you can facilitate the transformation process known as "solve et coagula", dissolve and aggregate. Everything is subject to this trend, which we can also understand as death and rebirth, dissolving the old from which the new is born. We humans are not exempt from this process, indeed we can contribute to it. For example, by following our inner path, that is to put under the light of awareness the shadows that inhabit us, to favor a conscious rebalancing of energies (solve) so as to use them with awareness in the creative phase (coagula).
