Chi underpins every aspect of Eastern healing traditions: it s the breath of life that animates all living things. Novices often find this elusive yet powerful concept difficult to grasp, but Madonna Gauding illuminates this life-altering system in a lavishly illustrated and expertly informed guide. She explains the philosophical origins of chi, and thoroughly explores its different aspects, including chi s relationship with the five elements (fire, earth, wood, metal, and water) and the twelve meridians of the human body. There are also useful tips on how to maintain a balanced chi through a simple, effective, combination of diet, exercise, and spiritual practice including detailed chi kung exercises and eating plans. This is essential reading for anyone desirous of increased energy and enhanced well-being.
