A mystical approach to Taiji practice : an interview with Matthew Sieradski (Holos : forum for a new worldview)

Description: Matt Sieradski began martial arts training in 1990 at the age of 14. In 2001, he was fortunate to meet and begin studies with Taiji master and Daoist adept Harrison Moretz, director of the Taoist Studies Institute in Seattle, Washington. In 2006, he was accepted by Master Moretz as a lineage disciple in the Chen Shi Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan system during a ceremony in Beijing, China with lineage founder Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang, who passed in May 2012. He has studied with numerous other spiritual masters, most notably the gnostic Joel Morwood, spiritual director of the Center for Sacred Sciences in Eugene, Oregon. Under Morwood’s guidance, Matthew had a decisive awakening to the true nature of reality in 2009 and was given authorization to teach. Matthew practices as an acupuncturist, herbalist, and craniosacral therapist in Eugene, teaches taijiquan, qigong, and baguazhang, and serves as a spiritual teacher and minister for the Center for Sacred Sciences. He is married to his wife of thirteen years, Hiromi, and they have two children: a son Daishin and a daughter Mina.
