Book excerpt: A program of recipes, superfoods, and medicine meals to maintain energy, restore cellular function, and reduce inflammation • Explains the restorative benefits of an omnivorous diet containing healthy grass-fed meats, non-starchy vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids • Details how to properly prepare super foods and healing herbs--such as avocados, bone broth, coconut oil, turmeric, spirulina, and rosemary--to jumpstart a fat-burning metabolism, lubricate joints, reduce inflammation, and preserve cognitive ability • Provides a wealth of medicine meal suggestions, including recipes, to address specific issues and concerns, from weight loss and younger-looking skin to thyroid problems and liver detox to anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia As our bodies age, they become depleted of the digestive enzymes and healthy body fats necessary for optimal health and longevity, leaving us weak, deficient, overweight, and low in energy. We are also bombarded by inorganic chemicals in our food, air, and water that tax our bodies heavily, leading to inflammation and premature aging. To combat cellular deterioration and support optimum body function, we need to return to the healthy animal fats and healing food remedies of our Paleolithic ancestors. Offering a restorative program of recipes, super foods, and medicine meals, Taoist Master Mantak Chia and William U. Wei reveal how to maintain and sustain healthy cellular activity well into old age through a balanced omnivorous diet and safe toxin elimination. They explain how, just as the pull of gravity encourages improper posture as we get older, the loss of internal chi pressure and the displacement of our inner organs cause a similar internal sagging as we age. The authors reveal the benefits of a diet containing healthy grass-fed meats, non-starchy vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids and explain which vegetables and modern foods to avoid. They detail how to properly prepare super foods and healing herbs--such as avocados, bone broth, coconut oil, turmeric, spirulina, and rosemary--to jumpstart a fat-burning metabolism, lubricate joints, reduce inflammation, keep hair and skin healthy, and preserve cognitive ability. The authors provide a wealth of medicine meal suggestions, including recipes, to address specific issues and concerns, from weight loss and younger-looking skin to thyroid problems and liver detox to anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia. They also explain how to reduce the adverse effects of menopause, how coffee protects the liver from alcohol, and how to combat inflammation. As the authors show, it is possible, even in our modern world, to eat your way back to health and have a high quality of life well into old age.

Book excerpt: How to cleanse the nine openings of the body for detoxification and self-healing • Explains how to purify the body’s internal environment through mono diets, fasts, and colonic cleanses to prevent degenerative disease and premature aging • Presents a 14-day total-body cleansing guide • Includes chi self-massage and healing sound practices as well as natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes Long known by Taoist masters, the body has an innate ability to heal itself, an ability that is hampered by toxins in the food we ingest and energy blockages that arise from illnesses and obstacles in our lives. These blockages transform the body’s energy rivers into a polluted and stagnant swamp--the root of degenerative disease as well as premature aging. Revealing the detoxification and rejuvenation practices of the Taoist sages, Master Mantak Chia and William U. Wei show how to reactivate your body’s self-healing abilities by gradually and safely expelling accumulated toxins through fasting, mono diets, and cleansing the nine openings of the body. Using the practices of chi self-massage and healing sounds along with natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes for each of the openings and their related organs, the authors explain how to balance and purify the body’s internal environment through acid and alkaline foods, urine therapy, colonic cleanses, dry skin brushing, ear candling, and energized water. Concluding with a 14-day total-body cleansing program, Cosmic Detox offers tools to keep the energy rivers clean and flowing, preparing the body for higher level Taoist practices as well as enabling healing of our emotional and spiritual bodies.

Download or read book Pi Gu Chi Kung written by Mantak Chia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to the Taoist fasting practice of Pi Gu • Explains how you do not stop eating with this fasting practice and details the simple pi gu diet • Illustrates the chewing and chi kung practices to accompany pi gu, for natural chi energy production • Reveals how Pi Gu Chi Kung activates the body’s natural healing abilities, accelerates the elimination of toxins, reduces appetite and cravings, and enables you to draw energies from the Earth and Universe Pi gu is an ancient Taoist method of fasting for spiritual and healing purposes. Unlike traditional fasting, you do not need to stop eating when practicing pi gu. Used by ancient Taoist masters during their months or years of solitary retreat in pursuit of enlightenment, the practice centers on a simple diet of fruits, teas, nuts, and eggs paired with special chewing techniques and chi kung exercises. During the pi gu state, the need for food decreases yet the body’s energy levels actually increase. The body gathers chi not from food but from chi kung and the “golden elixir” produced by the pi gu chewing practices. The chi produced through pi gu charges your internal organs, activating the body’s natural healing abilities and enabling you to draw energies from the Earth and Universe. In the pi gu state the body automatically balances itself, the mind is more relaxed, and sleep improves. The pause in normal eating makes the body’s cells more sensitive, accelerating the elimination of toxins. The stomach reduces in size, flattening the belly, eliminating cravings, decreasing appetite, and naturally producing weight loss. The body’s meridians stay open, making it easier to attune to meditation, chi kung, and energies from the cosmos. Providing a step-by-step guide to Pi Gu Chi Kung, Master Mantak Chia and coauthor Christine Harkness-Giles explain the pi gu diet, provide immortality tea recipes, detail the pi gu chewing exercises, and illustrate the corresponding chi kung energy exercises. They also explain the use of pi gu during darkness retreats to enhance spiritual awareness and increase mental powers and wisdom.

Download or read book Taoist Astral Healing written by Mantak Chia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-04-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced techniques for utilizing the universal healing connections revealed by Taoist astrology and astronomy • Provides meditations and healing techniques based on Taoist astrology • Allows readers to develop a personal practice based on an understanding of their planetary strengths and weaknesses • Includes Taoist star practices for expanding personal awareness into a cosmic field of chi that will support others in their efforts to heal and grow spiritually Taoist Astral Healing provides a step-by-step program for refining our ability to cultivate, circulate, and retain chi from the stars and planets. While the initial focus of Taoism centers on creating physical health that is deeply rooted in the energies provided by the earth, individuals may also draw down energies from the stars and planets to continue to grow in awareness and to develop their full soul potential. Harnessing these energies allows us to break through the cycles of attraction and addiction, promote longevity, and transform the physical and energy body into a “light body” in order to heal ourselves and others. Taoist Astral Healing teaches how to connect the body with the five elemental forces of nature, as well as the moon, sun, planets, stars, and galaxies. Noting the relationships between specific constellations and points on the body--such as the Big Dipper’s correspondence to the bones of the skull--the authors offer planetary and stellar meditations that allow the inner and outer universes to become more connected. Following the numerous meditations and techniques provided throughout the book, readers develop a personal practice based on an understanding of their planetary strengths and weaknesses and their own spiritual growth.
Download or read book Healing Light of the Tao written by Mantak Chia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-05-27 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guide to engaging and directing the three primordial forces of Earth, Heaven, and Higher Self to achieve enlightenment and immortality • Explains how to circulate the life force, or chi, by balancing yang (male) and yin (female) currents of bioenergy • Includes an overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system along with newly refined methods of activating the life force • The sequel to the classic Awaken Healing Energy Through the Tao In 1983, Mantak Chia introduced the “Microcosmic Orbit” to the West. Prior to that time, most of the Eastern energy practices transmitted to the West were incomplete, dealing only with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life-force energy up the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit showed practitioners how to establish the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop. Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness. Healing Light of the Tao presents the more advanced methods of chi cultivation in the Microcosmic Orbit, offering a full understanding of Taoist spiritual theory through its comprehensive overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system. The book also includes more advanced meditation methods for absorbing the higher frequencies of Earth Force, Cosmic Force, and Universal Force (Heavenly chi) into the basic orbit. It establishes a spiritual science that not only emphasizes practical benefits to health, sexual vitality, and emotional balance, but also shows how changes made in the energy body can lead to physical rejuvenation that the Taoists called immortality.
Download or read book The Tao of Detox written by Daniel Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to preventing and treating the toxic assault on our bodies • Shows how the practices of periodic detox and “rational retox” can counteract the toxic nature of our modern lifestyles, diets, and environment • Provides ancient Chinese methods and remedies that help the body repair itself • Includes detoxification techniques, formulas, and exercises that work within 10 days Despite the wonders of modern medicine, the state of human health throughout the world is eroding at an alarming rate. The long-term accumulation of toxins and acid waste in our bodies--both from the chemically contaminated air we breathe and water we drink as well as the toxins we ingest in the form of low quality food, preservatives, and additives--damages our organs, corrodes our joints and arteries, enervates our nervous system, and inhibits our immune system. Chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, insomnia, and even acne, are all caused by the long-term accumulation of toxins in our bodies. In The Tao of Detox Daniel Reid combines traditional Eastern practices and the latest of modern Western thinking to offer detoxification methods that can repair in as little as seven to ten days much of the long-term damage done. He provides breathing exercises, massage techniques, and soft exercises such as yoga and tai chi that help the body to heal itself. He also explains the importance of “rational retoxification,” which allows the careful reintroduction of less healthy substances, and offers ways to counteract those toxins we can’t--or don’t want to--avoid, including alcohol and tobacco. Reid explains that, just as we care for our cars with regular tune-ups, by practicing periodic detox as well as “rational retox,” we can enjoy long and healthy lives and still be able to “eat, drink, and be merry.”
