The Tibetan Art of Living: Wise Body, Mind, Life

The Tibetan Art of Living is a comprehensive guide to mind and body healing. Christopher Hansard, who says he has trained in Tibetan Bon medicine since the age of 4, provides a guide for putting the mind and body in balance by bringing thoughts and emotions into focus, cultivating wisdom and generosity, and practicing self-healing exercises. Touching on diet, the soul, and karma, Hansard promotes a holistic view of healing while illustrating with prominent cases from his own practice and explicit instructions for a variety of healing and meditative exercises. Going beyond Bill Moyers's work in Healing and the Mind, Hansard emphasizes that we can not only use the mind to prevent and cure illness, but that we can also use it to create and maintain a psychological balance which will carry us peacefully through life and into death. Wise and inspiring, The Tibetan Art of Living will set you on a sensible path to health and happiness. --Brian Bruya
