Download or read book Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong Volume 1 written by Bruce Frantzis and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health, Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. It uses simple body movements to accomplish the same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids; and quickly raises the body's energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities.

Download or read book Tiger Dragon written by Frank Elkins and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREMIUM PHOTO-BOOK EDITION: This book will not teach you the martial arts. No book will. However, it can give you a deep insight and understanding into the rich experience of what the martial arts are. It merges my acumen in western philosophy and eastern tradition with the understanding gained from working directly with a Grandmaster into a unique history and explanation related to the essential and fundamental physics and metaphysics of martial arts training. If the Western view of Quantum Mechanics is correct, then the universe is manifested through consciousness, and if the Eastern view that we self-generate our own universe is also correct, then it only makes sense that our consciousness is the consciousness manifesting both realities - which means it makes sense to spend some time and energy understanding our own consciousness and its part in that manifestation process. A balanced approach for appreciating the essence of existence. Martial arts training is one way to consider and explore that possibility.

This practice culminates in the creation of a spiritual embryo at the moment of enlightenment. The five masters who instruct Tu run the gamut of Chinese folklore characters, including the gentle pillow girl, Mei Cha, the doughty herb gatherer, Su Ba, and Lekshe Tsogyel, an acrobatic aristocrat from Tibet. Tu advances not only in his practice, but also in his understanding of life and love as he falls under the spell of five unforgettable women unequaled in religious literature. In the exciting conclusion, he experiences an epiphany that redefines what it means to attain the highest knowledge.

Download or read book Descending Dragon Rising Tiger written by Vu Hong Lien and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside of its war with the United States, Vietnam’s past has often been neglected and understudied. Whether as an aspiring subordinate or a rebel province, Vietnam has been viewed by most historians in relation to its larger neighbor to the north, China. Seeking to reshape these accounts, Descending Dragon, Rising Tiger chronicles the vast sweep of Vietnam’s tumultuous history, from the Bronze Age to the present day, in order to lay out the first English-language account of the full story of the Vietnamese people. Drawing on archeological evidence that reveals the emergence of a culturally distinct human occupation of the region up to 10,000 years ago, Vu Hong Lien and Peter D. Sharrock show that these early societies had a sophisticated agricultural and technological culture much earlier than previously imagined. They explore the great variety of cultures that have existed in this territory, unshackling them from the confined histories of outsiders, imperial invaders, and occupiers in order to show that the country has been central to the cultural, political, and ethnic development of Southeast Asia for millennia. Unrivaled in scope, this comprehensive account will be the definitive history of the Vietnamese people, their culture, and their nation.

Download or read book Feed the Tiger Free the Dragon written by Gillian Harper and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your partner become your everything? That’s probably not a good thing. In many modern relationships, our partners have become our everything—best friend, lover, career mentor, co-parent, gym buddy, fellow food critic, and TV-binge-watching-partner. And if you were in a relationship during the pandemic, you did literally everything together. All. Day. Long. The further we go down this road, the more our relationships start to feel (and taste) like a lukewarm bowl of porridge. No salt. No sugar. No delicious apple-berry granola crumble. Just a plain old bowl of oats served up three times a day. And sure, oats are reasonably nutritious, but they are also really boring. After spending so much time together we have, like magnets, rubbed up against each other for so long that we have completely lost the powerful energy and sexual attraction we once had. But you don’t need to settle for a life devoid of desire and passion. It’s time to stop settling. So put down that sad little spoon and stop eating that gruel. It’s time to feel your sharp teeth, your claws, and the fire in your chest. In Feed the Tiger, Free the Dragon, you will learn to create more excitement and sexual tension in your relationship through the practice of polarity. The natural law of polarity states that people with opposite sexual energy produce an attractive force between them, while people with the same energy produce a neutral or repulsive force. In other words, opposites attract. And the larger the energy distance between two people, the greater the attraction. Using the narrative of her broken marriage as a guide, Harper teaches us how to master the principles of polarity and how to embrace our inner Tiger or inner Dragon. By understanding and embracing your authentic uniqueness and learning to counterintuitively push away from your partner, you will find more love, lust, pleasure, freedom, and respect. Yes, that’s a lot. But isn’t it time to start living the most fulfilled version of our lives? It’s time to find our happiness.

"A zesty mix of Korean folklore, magic, and science fiction that will leave you longing for more adventures in the Thousand Worlds!"--Rick Riordan, intro to DRAGON PEARL "With crisp dialogue, a winning protagonist and a propulsive plot, this tale is enormously entertaining."-- New York Times Book Review of DRAGON PEARL Sebin, a young tiger spirit from the Juhwang Clan, wants nothing more than to join the Thousand World Space Forces and, like their Uncle Hwan, captain a battle cruiser someday. But when Sebin's acceptance letter finally arrives, it's accompanied by the shocking news that Hwan has been declared a traitor. Apparently the captain abandoned his duty to steal a magical artifact, the Dragon Pearl, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Sebin hopes to help clear their hero's name and restore honor to the clan. Nothing goes according to plan, however. As soon as Sebin arrives for orientation, they are met by a special investigator named Yi and Yi's assistant, a girl named Min. Yi informs Sebin that they must immediately report to the ship Haetae and await further instructions. Sebin finds this highly unusual, but soon all protocol is forgotten when there's an explosion on the ship, the crew is knocked out, and the communication system goes down. It's up to Sebin, three other cadets, and Yi and Min to determine who is sabotaging the battle cruiser. When Sebin is suddenly accused of collaborating with the enemy, the cadet realizes that Min is the most dangerous foe of all... Yoon Ha Lee brilliantly turns the tables on DRAGON PEARL in another unputdownable sci-fi adventure about what honor really means.
