Your ocean journal

Each seal remembers a lesson. Your journey stays on this browser.

Make it your rhythm.

Still scenery, instant portal travel, and a tide run that waits for you.

A practice, a playful journey.

Inner Ocean follows the Five Animals and Six Sounds associations used in the Holistic Surfing app. Different Daoist and qigong lineages may use different animals, pronunciations, and sequences.

Elements, colors, and emotional qualities are traditional contemplative associations. They do not describe where emotions are stored or show that sounds treat organ disease. Anatomy notes are kept separate from those associations.

Practice seated or standing comfortably. Use an easy, unforced breath, or simply listen and observe. Stop if you feel uncomfortable or dizzy. You never need to hold your breath or use a microphone.

Triple Warmer is a traditional functional concept, not a separate anatomical organ. The organ models are simplified learning illustrations, not diagnostic or anatomically exact models.

Michael, Kiley, the five animals, and the organ illustrations are generated 3D models. The instructors have standing and surfing animations. Scenic backgrounds are artwork; the portal, water, and models respond in real time.

Catch a different kind of wave.

  1. Choose a guide and a portal. Michael or Kiley will introduce its animal and lesson.
  2. Listen and explore. Hear the original practice recordings. Follow an easy breath or observe with no timing requirement.
  3. Ride the learning currents. Choose the lane carrying the realm’s element, color, or quality. Use the lane buttons, ← →, or keys 1, 2, 3.
  4. Earn a seal. Collect three correct pearls and answer the closing question. Revisit any realm whenever you like.

Drag across the 3D scene to look around or rotate the organ illustration. Gentle motion mode gives you as much time as you need. Water + Fire opens after Bear and Crane; Harmony opens after the other six seals.
