Energy Balance through the Tao: Exercises for Cultivating Yin Energy Review

Energy Balance through the Tao: Exercises for Cultivating Yin Energy

Many of the BIG problems in Health, Psychology and Relationships can be said to originate in an excess of Yang energy. Not just the excesses of aggression, winning, and dominating, but the whole frenetic race toward ever more energy draining and attenton demanding multi-tasking. Our society is becoming progressively more hypomanic and it sometimes seems that it is only a matter of time before everyone will start to show symptoms of attention deficit disorder! Some of the illnesses that are becoming more prevalent, including some of the disorders of immune function, digestion and thermoregulation, can also be thought of as consequences of a rampant and unbalanced Yang force.
It is desperately important for us to try and balance those excesses in our own lives, and it is a tough call with so many demands on us. The exercises in this book are all designed to balance the Yin and Yang energies of our bodies. Cultivating Yin energy is particularly important for men and these exercises really fit the bill. What I have always liked about Mantak Chia's work, is that he tries to provide explanations for the exercises, rather than just providing a catalog of techniques. And some of the exercises can have potent effects.
Some of the exercises require some strength and flexibility, so I recommend that people should have a discussion with their health care provider before starting this kind of new program.
This is a reprint of the book Tao Yin: Excercises for Revitalization, Health & Longevity, which was published in Thailand in 1999. There are only some minor differences between the two.
If you don't have the earlier book, you will find a lot of valuable material here.

Encyclopedia of Thai Massage Review

Having a bookshelf full of books on Thai Massage & Traditional Thai Healing, this is by far my favorite. I was introduced to Pierce's writing thru his first book "A Thai Herbal" and was impressed but I feel Encyclopedia of Thai Massage is by far his best work. You can feel his passion for preserving Thai Massage as a traditional form of Thai Healing thru it's pages. I also appreciate that it is based soley on just that, the traditions of Thailand w/o real outside influences. I was amazed with the extensive photography, charts and cross refrences. As a TM practioner the charts on page 195 and 207 of correlations of symptoms, acupressure points and sen lines are great to reference. I'd say no matter if you are a beginner or advanced practioner this is really the best book out there if you are interested in truly preserving the art of classic thai massage!

Drawing from Thai history, cultural studies, Buddhist religion, and yogic practices, as well as a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology, this book finally bridges the gap between the theory and practice of Thai massage.

Heart Yoga: The Sacred Marriage of Yoga and Mysticism Review

Heart Yoga: The Sacred Marriage of Yoga and Mysticism

I do not practice yoga ... yet, anyway! I did find this book to be a treasure trove of information, written on a level that a non-practitioner could understand and weave into their life. Andrew Harvey is an internationally acclaimed poet, novelist, translator and spiritual teacher. Karuna Erickson has, since 1970, been a devoted yoga practitioner/teacher and psychotherapist. In bringing their knowledge together, they have made magic!
The practice of Heart Yoga blends spirituality with the practice of yoga. It is the marriage of the yoga of the illumined body with the mysticism of the awakened heart. The path is shown through working with the Five Joys: The Joy of Transcendence, The Joy Of Creation, The Joy For All Things, The Joy Of Tantra, and the Joy Of Service. Each section includes a series of yoga poses, with accompanying photographs.
At the end of the book both Harvey and Erickson share their path through life - how they got to this point in thier work, what moves them, what they are passionate about, and where their work is headed.
The emphasis in this book is on working gently with your body to open it up - physically and spiritually. Any individual, regardless of their background in yoga (or lack of, as in my case!)will be able to work with this material. An added bonus - inclusion of spiritual writing from Rumi, Lalan, Francis of Assisi, Buddha, Hafiz and more!
