Offerings of Trainings & Practices
Through sitting, standing, and moving, meditational, practices, Taoists became more easily aware of both Nature on Erath as well and the Universe "in the heavens" thus increasing their ability to move and easily adapt through life with less effort and force and more in tune with the current of Life. Here are a summary of the most foundational of those practices.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi, at it's roots, is a Martial Art that has evolved and practiced, worldwide, as a mind-body exercise. It combines gentle, flowing movements with deep breathing and mindfulness to promote physical, mental, and emotional balance. Regular practice increases strength while improving coordination and proprioception, thus reducing the risk of falls, especially in older adults. The gentle stretching and twisting movements in Tai Chi promote flexibility and joint mobility leading to greater ease of movement in daily activities.

Founder of the Infinite Life Academy...
Richard Anton Diaz
At the age of 27, I realized my true nature as an Infinite Being and needed to make an important decision to live either a monastic life or a life fully engaged in the world as a finite body. I chose the latter and began, what would be a 25 year long career, as a professional competition Ballroom dancer. After having won a World Title and twice representing the United States at World competitions with my then wife, I retired and began studying Taoist teachings and training with Taoist masters, I was very attracted to the importance Taoist practices and trainings placed on the health and longevity of the Body which is very unique, even ti this day, in Chinese culture. Additionally, Taoists practices in sexual energy cultivation, form the foundation to conscious development of the Spirit.
"Few things are worse than flying across the country to attend a long workshop, only to discover that the teacher is scattered or only vaguely grasping their topic. That’s the exactly opposite of Anton, who has lived and sees a fresh examination of our collective views on sexuality as vitally important to human evolution. Anton is one of the top crucial voices and educators in human sexuality."
- Scott Olgren,
CEO of E3 Live Nutraceuticals
"Anton's wise council has been a transformational force in my life. He listens with the 6th sense which allows me to hear my authentic voice. Often in my conversations with him I have come to an awareness of limiting beliefs that have been guiding my decisions and creating pain for many years. His presence allows me to become aware of the limitations that I impose on myself and shed them with love and grace. I highly recommend Anton to anyone who is looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and their loved ones."
