We are in the middle of a cultural revolution in the health care industry. Nearly eight thousand people practice Traditional Chinese Medicine in the US and thirty-five states currently offer some form of legal status for its practice. Many people are seeking alternatives to the Western, medical approach to health care. To these seekers, Voices of Qi is an invaluable aid in exploring what Traditional Chinese Medicine has to offer. Alex Holland has done an admirable job of presenting the basic tenets and practices to this ancient tradition in a clear, concise and accessible manner.
"To learn how to deal with his advanced prostate cancer, Dave Ames read dozens of books and hundreds of research papers, and consulted with ten prominent doctors. The best conventional medicine could offer him was a twenty percent chance he'd see his kids graduate from high school, so he considered alternative treatments as well. This is the story of what worked for him, based on the science behind a diverse array of conventional and less-conventional treatments"--
The Crafting of the 10,000 Things by Dagmar Schäfer Pdf
The last decades of the Ming dynasty, though plagued by chaos and destruction, saw a significant increase of publications that examined advances in knowledge and technology. Among the numerous guides and reference books that appeared during this period was a series of texts by Song Yingxing (1587–1666?), a minor local official living in southern China. His Tiangong kaiwu, the longest and most prominent of these works, documents the extraction and processing of raw materials and the manufacture of goods essential to everyday life, from yeast and wine to paper and ink to boats, carts, and firearms. In The Crafting of the 10,000 Things, Dagmar Schäfer probes this fascinating text and the legacy of its author to shed new light on the development of scientific thinking in China, the purpose of technical writing, and its role in and effects on Chinese history. Meticulously unfolding the layers of Song’s personal and cultural life, Schäfer chronicles the factors that motivated Song to transform practical knowledge into written culture. She then examines how Song gained, assessed, and ultimately presented knowledge, and in doing so articulates this era’s approaches to rationality, truth, and belief in the study of nature and culture alike. Finally, Schäfer places Song’s efforts in conjunction with the work of other Chinese philosophers and writers, before, during, and after his time, and argues that these writings demonstrate collectively a uniquely Chinese way of authorizing technology as a legitimate field of scholarly concern and philosophical knowledge. Offering an overview of a thousand years of scholarship, The Crafting of the 10,000 Things explains the role of technology and crafts in a culture that had an outstandingly successful tradition in this field and was a crucial influence on the technical development of Europe on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.

Imagine: you're not on a diet, but you're losing weight. You haven't had a facial treatment, but you're looking younger. You're not taking supplements, but you're feeling great. In fact, all of these things can actually happen. Undesirable physical and mental conditions such as obesity, aging, and fatigue are all due to poisons, known as toxins, in your body. Once these toxins are dispelled, health and beauty will be achieved naturally, from the inside out. Toxins come from external factors like air, water, and pathogens, and also from metabolic waste. In traditional Chinese medicine, any substance that cannot be discharged quickly and has adverse effects on the human body can be called a “poison.” Examples are blood stasis, phlegm, cold, indigestion, qi stagnation (obstruction of the circulation of vital energy) and heat. When they accumulate in the five zang organs (the heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidneys) these toxins accelerate the aging process of these organs, causing the skin, muscles, bones, and nerves that are nourished by them to age at the same rate.Toxins can leave traces on the surface of your body, such as ridges on your nails, mood swings, and facial acne. This book will help you identify toxins, and teach you how to use natural detoxification therapy from traditional Chinese medicine to dispel them and improve your overall health in a simple way. You will learn:* How to identify toxins in your environment and body.* How to check the toxins in your body through observing surface-level changes or symptoms.* How to detoxify your heart, liver, lung, spleen, and kidneys through TCM food therapy and self-massage.

The Way of Virtue by Robert Peng,Rafael Nasser Pdf
Beloved Qigong master Robert Peng returns with meditations to empower you to tap into the limitless wisdom contained in your body. “Peace on earth mirrors peace within,” says Robert Peng. Yet when we bring energies of disharmony into our lives—like stress, trauma, and discord—those energies take up residence in our bodies and minds. Feelings of isolation and disconnection, according to Peng, are manifestations of a divided mind. Fortunately, the answer for restoration is all around us in the form of life-giving Qi. With The Way of Virtue, this renowned teacher presents a hands-on guide to Qigong meditations designed to channel healing energy precisely where it’s most needed—and make room for the abundant virtues that naturally arise from a balanced body. Peng expertly describes the nature of the mind and guides you toward the awakening of Spirit, offering the opportunity to cultivate a consistent practice and invite profound changes in well-being. Through his lucid descriptions, along with illustrations and audio guidance, he presents Qigong meditations focused on the organ system and meridian network, as well as healing sounds, paving the way to a deeper connection with one’s spiritual practice. Here you’ll learn which emotions are stored in specific organs, along with practices to draw in Qi to awaken and empower your bodymind. As you engage in these practices, you’ll unleash the virtuous qualities of every internal organ: courage, kindness, resilience, and much more. Building to the final three meditations, you’ll be guided to awaken particular aspects of the mind and their related virtues, including: • The Six Healing Sounds to awaken Higher Mind for goodwill • The Twelve Meridian Empowerment to awaken Pure Mind for benevolence • Huo Lu Gong Spirit Cultivation to awaken Spirit for peace “Our bodies contain the virtues that our world needs,” shares Robert Peng. Meditation is a powerful means to awaken these qualities and harmonize our connection to the world. When suffused with Qi, every cell becomes charged with vitality and benevolence—and you will radiate this nourishing energy wherever you go.
The air in the morning is very fresh, especially between the mountains and forests. The diffuse mist is accompanied by the morning glow of the rising sun, like a horse that is penetrated by the sun, emitting a soft luster and beautiful. And in this dense forest, a small village is clearly visible. "Mom, I'm leaving!" A teenager stood at the door and shouted at the room, with a handsome face and infinite agility in his ink-like eyes.
