Book excerpt: In Follow Your Tao, the teachings of Taoism and the healing system of TCM describe the interconnection between your health and everything you consume physically, mentally and spiritually. Through a clear pathway that links key emotions and feelings to certain organs - known as wu shen or the five spirits, the book describes the five major organ groups or 'spirits' of the body, how to identify when they are out of balance and ways to rebalance them.

A list of the organs' associations and attributes as well as a description of the organ's physical, emotional and spiritual properties and functions follows. Each chapter ends with a problems and solutions section, with step-by-step 'soul work' exercises to bring you back into balance.

Download or read book The Secrets of Alchemy written by Lawrence Principe and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alchemy, the Noble Art, conjures up scenes of mysterious, dimly lit laboratories populated with bearded old men stirring cauldrons. Though the history of alchemy is intricately linked to the history of chemistry, alchemy has nonetheless often been dismissed as the realm of myth and magic, or fraud and pseudoscience. And while its themes and ideas persist in some expected and unexpected places, from the Philosopher's (or Sorcerer's) Stone of Harry Potter to the self-help mantra of transformation, there has not been a serious, accessible, and up-to-date look at the complete history and influence of alchemy until now.
Download or read book Periodic Table of Spiritual Elements written by Barry John Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Periodic Table of Spiritual Elements is a healing and transformational tool. It contains fifty-two separate elements in a Tree of Life motif. When applied and practiced in daily life, the intention is that Elements will contribute to spiritual growth and perhaps some kind of awakening. There is no one right way to use the Table. Each of us have our own path. By using the Table we can possibly discover the elements that we need to further explore and work on. The Table is intended to pique interest in the elements outlined. It is intended for people to see it and ask themselves: What is this all about? Why are these elements included? What the heck is that one? Why does something I value seem to be excluded? How do these all fit together? It is designed to elicit spiritual inquiry, self-examination of one's spiritual belief system so that interested persons may make greater effort and exploration to define their own. The Spiritual Elements are intended to be explored with a general assumption that we are all inherently Divine within and that there is no single recipe which might allow its revelation and all the benefits that flow from that. We have to find our unique alchemy for transformation. We have to do our spiritual work. The Periodic Table of Spiritual Elements is a one-of-a-kind roadmap and reference tool designed to support that work. Each Element is discussed in a chapter along with its Alchemy with other Elements, Practices that support it and Mantras which help bring it forth.

Download or read book The Five Elements written by Dondi Dahlin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Five Elements brings the wisdom of an ancient healing system to modern readers, helping them understand themselves--why they do what they do--better. Dondi Dahlin shows us that we are all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The five elements originated in ancient Chinese medicine over 2,000 years ago--when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Understanding these elements helps us stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. By explaining the efficacy of wood, the depth of water, the joy of fire, the compassion of earth, and the wisdom of metal, this book helps people understand themselves and form lasting connections to others, answering the age-old question of why we do what we do.
Download or read book The Five Wisdom Energies written by Irini Rockwell and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This playful and accessible guide presents a Buddhist psychological system for enhancing self-awareness, interpersonal communication, and creativity This book invites us to celebrate our strengths and work with our weaknesses by learning to identify and utilize five basic personal styles or energies based on a Tibetan Buddhist practice. Each of the five wisdom energies is associated with particular ways of perceiving and interacting with the world and also with particular colors, elements, senses, seasons, and times of day. With easy, fun, and engaging exercises and stories, Irini Rockwell shows us how to identify which energies are active in our lives, and how we can work with them in any situation to improve self-awareness, communication, and creative expression. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, each of us has one or two dominant energies, but these can shift and change over time, and we can manifest different energies in different areas of our lives. Each of the five energies has its unique wisdom, but also its neurotic tendencies. By learning to recognize which energies we possess—and which are present in those around us—we can learn to relax and appreciate our natural traits and those of others, and we can move away from our neuroses toward the wisdom-aspects of our character.
Download or read book The Five Archetypes written by Carey Davidson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the personality archetypes within you and improve your life and relationships with a new self-guided system of personal transformation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, the elements Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are the foundation of how nature grows and evolves. They are believed to help us understand everything from illness and healing to the fundamental processes of child development—and they continue to inform Chinese medicine practice today. But as Ayurvedic nutritionist, reiki master, and Tournesol founder Carey Davidson demonstrates in this book, each of the five elements can also be seen as a personality archetype—and inside all of us is a unique blend of these archetypes that serves as a window into living a more fulfilling life on every level. In The Five Archetypes, Davidson explains that by knowing the personality traits associated with each type and using what she calls the Five Archetypes method, you can actually start to predict your behavioral patterns—not only with yourself but also with your friends, your romantic partner, your children, and even your colleagues. By practicing this method, you will also: -Learn how to exercise more control over behaviors that thwart your potential -Hone your self-awareness and self-regulation skills in the face of day-to-day stress -And understand what really makes people tick, so that you spend less time in stagnant relationships and more time in gratifying ones Through her study of the elements and the observations she’s made in her work with individuals, couples, companies, parents, kids, and educators, Davidson has created a simplified and practical guide to harnessing the strengths of our five archetypes. Complete with an assessment designed to help you discover your primary, secondary, and lowest types, The Five Archetypes will not only teach you more about yourself and others but also transform your relationships and set you on the path to personal and interpersonal harmony.
