| book description |
A guide to healthy and happy longevity based on the wisdom of ancient Chinese sages • Shares an eight-step process based on the life-prolonging and health-enhancing methodology of the Earth Path of Taoism • Includes practices focused on posture, breathing, mental health, energy flow, and meditation, as well as eight mind-body Daoyin longevity exercises, complete with illustrated instructions • Explores what causes premature aging and how to avoid it, along with longevity secrets of the legendary Eight Immortals ACCORDING TO THE ANCIENT CHINESE SAGES, the way to achieve health, longevity, and enlightenment starts with the Earth Path of Taoism, which advises us to nurture the body, calm the mind, and stir the spirit. In this practical guide, Sifu Peter Newton explains the principles and practices of the path and provides an easy-to-follow eight-step process to integrate this longevity wisdom into daily life. Drawing from tai chi and qigong, he explores how to avoid premature aging, highlights body posture as well as a flexible outlook on life, and looks at profound breathing. As we work with the rhythms of yin and yang in our bodies and lives, we discover the benefits of meditation and the practice of ""stirring the shen""—the notion of circulating primordial shen, the root of life. Last but not least, eight clearly explained mind-body Daoyin longevity exercises show how to redirect and refine qi, the internal energy of the body. Interwoven with longevity pearls of wisdom, this illustrated guide shows that regardless of physical ability or age, the Taoist Earth Path is accessible to everyone. Without doubt, we all share the ability to live a long and healthy life.
