THE SPINE OF LAU TZU

MEET THE 7 ENERGIES

Right now, you find yourself at the spine of Lau Tzu.

First drawn on an office notepad with an office pen, this spine used to serve one simple purpose: to be a tiny daily escape from a seemingly inspirationless office mind.

Seemingly meaningless moments. Pillars of a weird little universe.

These joyful numb-ers, insignificant at first glance, became the first seven memories of a world yet to be created.

And each carries an energy of its own.

What They do

What you cultivate, shapes what you become.

That’s why Lau Tzu exists.

Every piece of streetwear carries one of the Seven Energies.

Each with its own influence.
Its own invitation.

Cultivated and aligned, they are believed to guide you towards your purpose and awaken the creative force that was yours all along.

and how

First of all, everything created within the Lau Tzuniverse carries the energy of mystery, possibility and freedom.

This is held in the Lau Tzu logo, most often placed on the front of each piece.

Beyond that, every added design is created to resonate with a specific virtue already alive within you.

You will mostly find these designs on the backs of our T-shirts, sweaters and hoodies, placed to echo the matching energetic point along your spine.

We may call it a print.

In reality, it is closer to alchemy.

A process that transforms a piece of clothing into something designed to shift, amplify and raise your energy.

TRIAD

Knowledge, wisdom and mystery.
Hard work, joy and rest.
Control, delegation and letting go.
Body, mind and energy.

A fulfilling life is built on balance.

This energy sharpens your intuition for what needs more of you, what needs less, and what needs to be released.

It strengthens your energy management, helps you honour your needs and return to your own centre.

LT.NRG.6

Resolve

Once you know where you’re going, it takes action to get there.

This energy is all about boosting your horsepower, while knowing where to use it wisely.

No problems. No bad signs. Only challenges to move through.

Building the life you want was never supposed to be easy.

But living a life that doesn’t feel like your own is harder.

LT.NRG.5

Eclosion

Not everything is meant to be chased.

Some things need time to grow, unfold and find their way to you.

This energy is about receiving. Trusting what you have cultivated enough to let it take form.

Because creation doesn’t end with action.

At some point, you have to let life meet you halfway.

LT.NRG.4

GNOSIS

To shape your life, you must first understand yourself.

Seeing your life as a manifestation of your energy can challenge the image you hold of who you are. Sometimes, painfully so.

This energy strengthens the courage for humility. To look at what life reflects back without turning away.

Because once you see life as a mirror, what once felt fixed becomes something you can reshape.

And suddenly, possibility is endless.

LT.NRG.3

Rapture

Joy is how life whispers your purpose to you.

Not the joy attached to success, recognition or some future version of yourself.

The unconditional joy that exists simply because something makes you come alive.

This energy draws your attention towards what feels naturally yours. Your strengths. Your curiosity. The things you would choose even without a reward waiting at the end.

What would you do if there were nothing to prove?

LT.NRG.2

VISTA

No dream without a vision, right?

Visions hold tremendous creative power. But without the energy to carry them, they remain nothing more than fantasies.

This energy encourages the nurturing of your vision.

Use it to temporarily feel complete, and you rob it of its creative power.

Imagine it while already feeling whole, and you give it the energy to come to life.

ORIGIN

Your one true home is the present moment.

This is where you recharge. Where you remember your freedom and reconnect with a sense of possibility.

Like the bassline in a dance song, this energy keeps you anchored in your body and rooted in your life.

In the present moment, nothing is missing.

You return to completeness.

From there, you become magnetic to everything that is still yours to receive.
