What exactly is Showme Taoway?
Showme is a creation based off 3 pillars of knowledge which have been combined in a methodical way to create a new path of thinking through practice and exercise by using the tools within your Showme Kit and guidance from your certified practitioner.
​
The co-founders of Showme, Kinneret and Ilana (who's full story you can read here), created a bridge with their combined knowledge and Tao philosophy to bring about an approachable method of East Asian Philosophy to Western culture.

A harmonious creation of Chinese medicine, science and philosophy through mindful gameplay.

Based on the brain’s ability to change neural connections throughout life, SMTW exercises your mind to expand your awareness and make precise choices.
The nature of your brain to reorganize itself in relation to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is called neuroplasticity.
As perception expands, brain cells reorganize, new connections are made, a higher level of understanding is achieved which equals a paradigm shift.
While in conflict you don't see the bigger picture, SMTW guides you to: Break limiting patterns, identify what's hidden behind your conflict, open new ways of thinking, expand your perspective, make conscious choices and respond in improved ways.
Neuroplasticity teaches us that when you exercise your brain, things that were once difficult become easier and things that were impossible become possible.
The SMTW Vision
Our company vision is to empower individuals to achieve balance in their lives through coaching education and the use of the smtw coaching game. We believe that everyone has the potential to overcome their fear of failure and achieve success, and we are passionate about helping them do so.
At the core of our philosophy is the belief that in order to balance life, we must acknowledge and work with both sides of ourselves - "me" and "myself." This is reflected in the conversation we have with ourselves, which is the foundation of the relationships we have with others. Through the Showme method people practice to see themselves as a whole from the half empty half full cup by teaching individuals how to overcome their limiting beliefs and achieve balance in their lives.
We understand the value of integrating eastern and western philosophies, and the smtw coaching game is a great channel for doing so. By bringing together the yin and yang, "me" and "myself," we create bridges that help individuals find peace within themselves and in their relationships with others.
Our ultimate goal is to make a difference in the world by helping individuals become coaches and coaching education providers. In the words of the Chinese TAO/DAO philosophy - , "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." We are committed to taking that first step with every individual we work with, helping them achieve balance and success in their lives. Our vision is to create a world where individuals are empowered to live their best lives, and we believe that coaching education and the smtw coaching game are the keys to making that vision a reality.
TAO PHILOSOPHY
ADLERIAN PRINCIPLES
NEUROPLASTICITY
THE 3 PILLARS
TAO PHILISOPHY:
Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion that instructs believers on how to exist in harmony with the life. One of the main ideas of Taoism is the belief in balancing forces, or yin and yang. These ideas represent matching pairs, such as light and dark, male and female, hot and cold, action and inaction, which work together toward a universal whole. Yin and yang show that everything in the universe is connected and that nothing makes sense by itself.
ADLERIAN PRINCIPLES:
Alfred Adler, world renowned philosopher and psychiatrist, believed that we all have one basic desire and goal: to belong and to feel significant. The first holistic theory of personality, psychopathology, and psychotherapy that is intimately connected to a humanistic philosophy of living. According to Adler, when we feel encouraged, we feel capable and appreciated and will generally act in a connected and cooperative way and we discover the feeling of belonging. When we are discouraged, we may act in unhealthy ways by competing, withdrawing, or giving up. It is in finding ways of expressing and accepting encouragement, respect, and social interest that help us feel fulfilled and optimistic.
NEUROPLASTICITY:
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. It allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for any injury and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. Neural networks in the brain, change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections, to systematic adjustments. For example, neuroplasticity include circuit and network changes in the brain that result from learning a new ability, environmental influence and/or practice.
By combining these 3 studies, and creating an interactive toolkit, SMTW generated a newfound form of creating new neural pathways and cognitive flexibility, as this method activates neural plasticity.
This serves to weaken old patterns of thinking which perpetuate limiting beliefs.
