They emphasize the importance of local, seasonal, and fresh foods and of yin-yang balance for health. The authors illustrate the five elements’ characteristics through sample profiles for celebrities such as Paul McCartney and Meryl Streep, along with Taoist nutritional recommendations based on their charts.

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 Taoist Healing Foods written by Mantak Chia and published by Destiny Books. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Healing Love through the Tao written by Mantak Chia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-07-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the bestseller • The first book to reveal in the West the Taoist techniques that enable women to cultivate and enhance their sexual energy • Reveals Taoist secrets for shortening menstruation, reducing cramps, and compressing more chi into the ovaries for greater sexual power • Teaches the practice of total body orgasm For thousands of years the sexual principles and techniques presented here were taught by Taoist masters in secret only to a small number of people (sworn to silence), in the royal courts and esoteric circles of China. This is the first book to make this ancient knowledge available to the West. The foundation of healing love is the cultivation, transformation, and circulation of sexual energy, known as jing. Jing energy is creative, generative energy that is vital for the development of chi (vital life-force energy) and shen (spiritual energy), which enables higher practices of spiritual development. Jing is produced in the sexual organs, and it is energy women lose continually through menstruation and child bearing. Mantak Chia teaches powerful techniques developed by Taoist masters for the conservation of jing and how it is used to revitalize women's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Among the many benefits conferred by these practices are a reduction in the discomfort caused by menstruation and the ability to attain full-body orgasm.
