Patrick A Kelly

Patrick A Kelly began Taiji with an experienced student of Master Huang Xingxian in 1973. In 1977 he moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where he studied full time in Master Huang's school. In 1979, following tradition, Master Huang accepted Patrick Kelly as his personal disciple - the only non-Chinese to ever enter Huang's inner-school. From that time Patrick Kelly travelled and taught beween Asia, Australasia and Europe. At the express wish of his teacher, Patrick Kelly established a Europe wide teaching network, where 40 senior students (20+ years Taiji and 10+ years with Patrick) and 100 close students (average 10 to 15 years Taiji) teach some thousands of students through their independent schools.

Simultaneously Patrick worked closely both within the Sufi tradition with the Naqshibandi Shaikh Abdullah Dougan for 14 years until Abdullah's death in 1987 and for 30 years with the old Raja Yogi Mounimaharaj of Rajasthan who died in 2007 at more than 105 years old.

This true contact, both external and internal, with the 3 great streams of esoteric teachings - the Asian, the Indian and the Middle Eastern - now supports Patrick's teaching, which aims to lead people deeply inside themselves towards the one formless Source, which has no name.



The results of Patrick's experience are contained in his teaching which he now condenses to a few words.
“Seek a broad balance of experience in the actions of outer life – with gratitude for whatever life brings.
Progressively deepen consciousness – using whichever exercises contribute to that process inward through the 3 levels of human existence, etheric, astral and celestial.
Reach out for the Beyond – gradually realising that your human existence is next to nothing.” more...



Questions and Answers with Patrick A Kelly.
What have you gained from your years of Taiji work? Internal evolution is the main result of practise under the direction of a genuine teacher. Effort and sacrifice is the cost. In my early twenties, with 10 years training in Western martial arts, some knowledge of yoga and meditation, and about to complete my university studies, I made the decision to concentrate my life on the search for inner meaning and development. Boxing and wrestling had no depth, Yoga had depth but was too passive, while meditation lacked balance without some complementary training. more...[EN, DE, FR, IT, NL, ES]
