In this bonus episode, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod explores the true meaning of “not doing” — one of the most misunderstood ideas in Taoist practice. Far from being passive, “not doing” is the natural outgrowth of calm and meditative awareness. It means acting from the deep rhythm of the Tao rather than from habit or fear.

Master Steenrod breaks down the mystical and practical divisions of non-action, showing how the real power of Taoist action begins when you stop forcing outcomes. By learning to listen before you act, you begin to align your movement with the world instead of struggling against it.
