Paul Cavel

Since 1995 Paul Cavel has taught the Water Method, including Five Element neigong, medical qigong, tai chi, bagua and Taoist meditation. He is a mechanical engineer by trade and came to study the ancient teachings of a rare Taoist lineage in the late 1980s after a motorcycle accident that left him with serious injuries in his twenties. Now in his sixties, Paul considers himself in better health — in body, mind and qi — than he was before his accident.

In 2004, Paul became a senior student of Taoist Lineage Holder Bruce Frantzis, and he has multiple empowerments from his teacher to certify internal arts instructors. Paul is the principal of The Tai Chi Space (TTCS), a London-based school he established to share his experience and the methodology behind letting go, dissolving blockages, and healing from trauma of a physical, energetic, emotional and/or mental nature.

In addition to teaching in London, Paul offers private tuition and a complete Taoist arts curriculum via online courses, as well as training opportunities in the USA and Normandy, France. Paul has certified more than 100 qigong and tai chi teachers, as a focus of his teachings is on instructor mentorship to keep the Water Method alive for the benefit of future generations.

Paul is a best-selling author on Amazon, including Taoism: A Journey Towards Unity, The Tai Chi Space: How to Move in Tai Chi and Qi Gong and Heaven & Earth Qigong: Heal Your Body and Awaken Your Qi — the latter of which he co-authored with his teacher.
