Living the Tao-A Spiritual Podcast

Living the Tao with Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod Living the Tao is a spiritual podcast exploring traditional Taoist teachings, spiritual cultivation, and the practice of Taoism in everyday life. Hosted by Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod, lineage holder of the Four Ascendant Tradition, the podcast offers a perspective rooted in a living Taoist tradition rather than modern interpretations of Taoist philosophy alone. Through long-form teachings, practical discussions, stories, and occasional conversations with Morgan and other guests, Living the Tao examines the relationship between ancient Taoist training and the realities of modern life. Topics include Taoist meditation, qi cultivation, karma, spiritual transformation, self-awareness, intuition, emotional resilience, traditional doctrine, and the cultivation of clarity and character. Episodes explore not only what Taoist teachings mean, but how they are understood, practiced, and applied in ordinary life. Drawing on traditional teachings and decades of practice, Mikel Steenrod examines the assumptions, habits, and perceptions that shape human experience. The result is a podcast that invites listeners to look beyond familiar explanations and consider what it means to live in harmony with the Tao.
