Welcome to
PRIMORDIAL ALCHEMIST®️ System
PRIMORDIAL ALCHEMIST System has become a leading spiritual development school teaching tens of thousands of students from every walk of life to re-discover their true hidden potential not experienced in other systems.
The “water path” – the celestial way of Taoism – has lead the field in helping others reach their goals of spiritual realization and has changed the world in passing on once hidden knowledge to the masses in an old traditional manner of the master to student transmission of once hidden truths, and were only practiced in remote temples of the east.
All people from all walks of life have had direct mind experiences through the water path of Taoism, and their lives have been changed in so many ways that are too many to describe.
We continue to passionately teach, promote, and hold the standards of teachings as outlined in those lineage masters of the ancient past, the reason why this art has become so well known and successful to all who devote to this authentic path. Learn More

Longevity Retreat
Longevity Retreat: 3 Day Online Event
“It is to the delight of our soul that we learn the way of the Tao, reflected in eternity through our physical bodies. This is witnessed best with health, longevity, tranquility, and ultimately the everlasting body of Gold Dragon or Gold Phoenix.” -Mugen Roshi
This 3-Day Online event works in connection with 4 Taoist Practices to soften the mind, ground strengthened qi to the earth, and maintain balanced health & longevity.
The Longevity Retreat can be taken as a traditional online retreat, or as a 3 Day class.
The Longevity Retreat presents the unique opportunity to train directly with Mugen Roshi and Dao Shi in retreat, from the comfort of your home. You will also have the chance to interact with cultivators from all over the world.
The beautiful thing about this event is you get to design your level of experience.
If you have jobs or household responsibilities, you can experience this event as a regular class logging-in and out at class times. If you have the time and desire to do so, you can turn this into a traditional retreat experience, immersing yourself into practice and isolation from the outside world. After registration each student will receive a guide that helps them choose their path including time, meal choices, and setting up your sacred space.
The journey begins and ends with you!
Longevity Practices:
Heart Fasting Method
This mind related practice utilizes specific meditative forms to soften and empty the “monkey mind” of many obstructions. The method seems easy but requires dedication and consistency of daily practice to free the mind of self -generated doubts.
Fasting the heart-mind will enable you to experience less stress, to be non-attached to the daily monkey mindset, and allow smoother Shen Qi to flow within you.
This method is suitable, and can be used for all forms of practices within our system, but can also be used with any Taoist practices.
Life Extending Method
After one awakens the true thrusting channel you must ground the ever strengthening qi deep into the core of the earth. The ultimate purpose in attaining balanced health and longevity through the Life Extending Method is to continue self cultivation.
In ancient times this practice anchored the middle and lower Dantiens into the earth to both slow the age of the body and mind and also allow bliss and emptiness to naturally merge within the practitioner.
The life extension ways also use herbs, minerals and Neidan, Weidan (outer and inner) alchemical means to bring forth long life.

“Your human body is a miracle of the universe with the great mysteries housed within it. You are the universe. You are the essence of living light, slowed down into the physical manifestation of frozen light. When we do our practices, we are speeding ourselves back up into the sacred vibration of truth, even beyond the speed of light, and in the process we remember who and what we truly are and what we came here to do.”
