Taoism is about the WAY to one's self actualization. Taoism is about showing the way by understanding the "law of nature' by observations. So, where it is practiced? I found its practices in our surroundings in our daily activities.
When we open our spiritual eyes and look at the trees around us, we can hear their voices. When we hear the trees speaking, it is the Tao and actual application of the spoken messages to our lives called the Taoism. That's why it is not considered a religion. Taoism is about being keenly awake toward nature's way of evolution. It is the way and path to everlasting life.
Without deeply into the practices, a simple illustration can depict the Tao in its applicability in our lives. When I look at a tree rooted into the soil, I see myself. The tree is speaking to me through its presence. I see my spiritual root through the tree's root and it sent me the message to keep my spiritual root deeply rooted into my practical living on earth. By looking at how it is nurturing itself and blossom without getting diseases, so is my way that I should take in my spiritual nutrient from healthy source such as bible.
Way the leaves blossom and fall with sensitive to season's evolution, so should my life's accomplishments. It speaks to me how to grow and accept its end for another cycle of life. Taoism is all about being fully committed to the moment and being fully sensitive to the surroundings at that moment.
Another teacher is water in Taoism. If one observes and hear its silent voices, one can learn the WAY/PATH to one's ultimate goal in life. That is to realize one's full purpose and true identity in this earth.
