The authors offer a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment--acutaping--which provides a simpler and more effective alternative to drugs and physiotherapy. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged.
The book includes step-by-step instructions illustrated in full color detailing how to use acupressure taping to treat pain in all parts of the body. It presents both therapeutic and preventative techniques for acute and chronic pain. Combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines. Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment--without side effects--that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain.

This work, from one of modern China’s most respected scholars, teachers, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between organ and channel theory can lead to more precise diagnoses and better clinical results.
While most textbooks focus either on the functions of the organs in basic physiology or on the uses of the channels in treatment, this book shows the essential relationships between the two. Theory and practice are connected through a detailed discussion of a channel palpation methodology developed by Dr. Wang, which leads to more precise and effective point selection, location, and technique. The presentation is a unique and highly readable format that preserves the intimacy of dialogue between apprentice and teacher, with questions and answers, narratives, and case studies.

Though what some readers may take from reading this book is an appreciation of transformational aspects of consciousness, what the author assures us is that alchemy is no metaphor for inner transformation; it is real magic. Transforming the inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how the world really works. We can perceive the hidden connections between the spiritual and the material worlds. Knowledge of these connections enables us to influence external phenomena through the powers of heart and mind alone. Yet alchemy is not, like some forms of magic, the exercise of mind over mattter. It is the art of taking what already exists--whatever presents itself--and transmuting the harmful into the helpful, the useles into the valuable. The author's written expression is an alchemy of its own, for it is profound, inspiring, insightful, stimulating, and evocative. An appendix on mindfulness meditation is delicate and deft. In your individual journey of awakening, you may find it a useful guide for the expansion of subtle acuity and perception, intuition, and equanimity. In any case, you are likely to enjoy reading this book and may find it affects you in unforseen ways.

The intention of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is to reconnect the client with the instinctual intelligence and numinosity of the natural world. This method does not attune directly to a pathological medical model as does osteopathy. Rather, it is primarily used as an exploration of perception, self-development, and integration of developmental experience. Its focus is on skills based on perceiving stillness as the fundamental healing influence for the mind and body. Shea explores craniosacral therapy for trauma resolution, psychodynamics, and shamanism, and offers practical meditations, visualizations, and clinical skills to facilitate healing physical, spiritual, and emotional conditions. Healers and bodywork therapists of all stripes will find much food for thought herein.

The author shows how learning to direct the healing power of your chi or life force is an inner revolution that requires direct experience and practice, not just thought. Set out in three sections, “The Power of Chi to Transform your Life,” “Diving Inward and Beyond,” and “The Chi Rev Workout,” his discussions range engagingly through the topics, encircling and distilling the “what” of chi and how understanding it in an embodied way will help you move effortlessly through the outer world as you encounter your inner world and find peace, composure, contentment, and emotional and physical strength and tranquility. You might be one of the many who find that, once your chi practices have been established, the gap between your present and future state of awareness is as great as the difference in body awareness between a paralyzed person and an average person.

Chloasma and vitiligo are refractory conditions of pigmentary skin disorders. Chloasma frequently occurs
in adult females and the risk is higher during child bearing age. There are no ideal therapies available
in biomedicine. However, the pathology of chloasma has been interpreted in Chinese medicine with effective treatment based on harmonizing qi, blood, yin and yang.
Vitiligo is a skin disease which is easy to diagnose since it involves depigmentation. However, it is difficult
to cure biomedically, as its mechanism is unclear and no effective treatments have been established. This text recounts the results of recent research in Chinese medicine that has detected an association of vitiligo with deficiency of liver and kidney, qi stagnation, and blood stasis. It details how practitioners have applied the principles of nourishing liver and kidney, invigorating blood to dispel stasis, and regulating qi and blood, to achieve positive therapeutic effects.

The text features pattern differentiation and treatment with herbs and acupuncture, clinical experience of contemporary physicians, case studies from famous Chinese doctors, relevant modern research, and selected quotes from classical texts.

This recording is of a speech Professor Worsley gave in the 1980s at the Tai Sophia Institute, then known as the Worsley Institute USA. The quality of the video is not ideal. The sound balance is less than perfect -- the theme music at the beginning is very loud but to hear Prof. Worsley's words you must turn up your player volume. Professor Worsley introduces the practice and philosophy of his Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, an elegant and effective adaptation that focuses on balance and integration, and utilizes the enormous strength of the human spirit to positively influence all levels of existence. It is concerned with the balance of an individual's vital energy (qi or chi), and the integration of Body-Mind-Spirit. Illness occurs when the qi is out of balance. By identifying and addressing the underlying imbalance the practitioner is able to assist nature in restoring the individual to a state of health. Ideal for the novice, the patient, and for Worsley's students who will be pleased to have the sound and face of the Professor with which to reminisce. Its contents are instructive and entertaining as well.

The sound balance is less than perfect -- the theme music at the beginning is very loud but to hear Prof. Worsley's words you must turn up your player volume. Professor Worsley introduces the practice and philosophy of his Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, an elegant and effective adaptation that focuses on balance and integration. It is concerned with the balance of an individual's vital energy (qi or chi), and the integration of Body-Mind-Spirit. Illness occurs when the qi is out of balance. By identifying and addressing the underlying imbalance the practitioner is able to assist nature in restoring the individual to a state of health. Ideal for the novice, the patient, and for Worsley's students who will be pleased to have the sound and face of the Professor with which to reminisce. Its contents are instructive and entertaining as well.

This book offers a solid grasp of how to utilize the fundamental principles of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine. Clinical reasoning in CM is a manifestation of both traditional Chinese philosophy and scientific thinking in medicine. Once acquired it allows students to apply and fully comprehend the essence of Chinese medical theory, resulting in ineffectivensss of diagnosis and treatment. The first part of the text deals with clinical practice in CM, and discusses the mode of thinking in pattern differentiation and treatment with practical casework. The second part deals with the international transmission of Chinese medical knowledge, pointing out that the greatest challenge to non-Chinese students may not be the language but the mode of thinking. Chapters cover the nature of clinical thinking; types of clinical reasoning; pattern differentiation; diagnosis, treatment, and health preservation; formula composition; and using medicinals.

The stems and branches of Chinese cosmology signify a basic calendrical counting method used for millenia to count the hours, days, months, and years. It groups 10 stems and 12 branches into yin/yang pairings to provide a recurring sequence. Certain acupuncture methods select points according to the specific stem and branch of the hour or day (see Manaka: Hara Diagnosis, Reflections on the Sea). This book explores time in a wider context to offer an understanding of the basic principles of Chinese medicine and how time is woven into the core of acupuncture theory.
The material is presented in three sections. The first section offers a deeper understanding of the basic principles underlying acupuncture. Section two explores the technicalities of time and fits the pairings of stem and branch into the broader context of time and its interweaving cycles. Section three deals with more advanced concepts that cast light on obscure passages from the Nei Jing and address common confusions and perplexities in comprehending stems and branches, both in philosophical basis and practical application.

This work is a primary textbook for students as well as a clinical handbook for practitioners. It integrates a modern didactic learning approach with information derived from key Chinese university texts to give readers a clear and authentic resource for the study of Chinese medicinal therapy. Its conscientious design allows for efficiency in study and accessibility in the clinic, both of which are complemented by a variety of supplementary self-study materials on CD-ROM for students and professionals alike.
A distinguishing feature of the text lies in its detailed chapter introductions, which integrate core principles of internal medicine into the discussions of each category of medicinals. By focusing on the various pathomechanisms, patterns, and traditional diseases involved in each category these introductions allow readers to gain a deeper understanding of the various conditions treated with medicinals. Additionally, they provide the reader with insight into unusual features and special applications of specific medicinals.
Following each chapter introduction are detailed monographs that cover in all over 400 substances commonly used in Chinese medicine. The monographs are presented with the same level of detail found in Chinese university texts. Because this text utilizes the terminology standards of the Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine, readers can easily integrate their knowledge with the dozens of professional publications that already adhere to this standard. Furthermore, the monographs contain information on key safety issues affecting modern practice, including current knowledge on herb-drug interactions.
Created with the input of educators as well as students, the Concise Chinese Materia Medica is the first materia medica that doubles as a study guide for examinations. The essential information for each medicinal is clearly presented, facilitating memorization of data as well as highlighting key clinical concepts. In addition, included on the accompanying CD-ROM is a vast question bank intended to prepare students for examinations. Reflecting modern educational approaches and current examination trends, these materials have been organized to contain both case-based examples as well as questions to enhance memorization. Thus, students may master the details of medicinal therapy without losing their focus on developing clinical decision-making abilities.
The inclusion of study materials and self-test questions allows students to save a great deal of time and money by minimizing the need for homemade study materials and expensive test-prep courses. With a price tag that can be accommodated within even a student’s budget, this is a book that should not be missed.

This well researched work is based on historical uses of medicinal plants, folk medicine, folk practitioners, the experience of actual herbalists, intuitive concepts of energy, plant properties, and medicine, daydreams, and dreams. It follows an organized and reasonably critical approach to understanding plant medicine themed around the concept that each plant has an innate intelligence or core "essence," as the ancients would have said, binding together the disparate properties and uses into a meaningful and logical or intuitive whole. The compounds in the plant, its appearance, growth habit, ecological niche, and medicinal properties are united by this common personality, intelligence, or essence.
The author's knowledge and experience is superb and he cogently sets forth the practice of traditional herbal medicine in its energetics, actions, and clinical use. The extensive materia medica in this volume (1 of 2) details and categorizes old world (European) medicinal plants, including information on taste, tissue states, specific indications, preparation and dosage, and relevant literature. This work provides absorbing reading and deservedly belongs on the reference shelf of any herbalist.

This work is written as a tool for those who have made a conscious choice to take charge of their daily lives in all issues, and for those who seek to make that same commitment. It explores the interconnectedness of foods and consciousness, emphasizing the energetic dynamic of this interconnectedness that affects and shapes individual consciousness. Chapters cover vignettes of pioneering great minds in biomedical science (including Royal Rife, Antoine Bechamp, and Gaston Nassens), discussions integrating raw foods and naturopathy with Chinese medical theory and Five Element theory, common abnormal conditions from enzyme deficiencies, and discussions of the functions, energetics, and deficiency issues of foods and nutrients, explicated both from an exoteric and esoteric perspective. Addendums provide further perspectives on the esoteric understanding of “Support the Mountain,” and on naturopathic tools for addressing minor imbalances by natural methods.

This book is the result of the research the author has done and the experiences he has had both personally and as a guide for those who have transformed their vision. The orientation of this book is for errors of refraction (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism). However, people who have had what are known as “organic” visual difficulties (cataracts, glaucoma, etc.) have also reported improvement after conscientiously applying the ideas and techniques in this book, along with other self-healing concepts. Rather than the “outer” processes (diet, physical movements, exercise, vitamins, etc.), which are often focused on by many other approaches to vision improvement, this book mainly focuses on the “inner” processes. It is about what happens in our consciousness, the place from where everything in our experience begins. As we release tensions in our consciousness and accept new ideas, tensions are also released from the physical body and we return to balance on all levels.

In this work, a guide to yoga philosophy for the contemporary practitioner, the author writes, “All practices of yoga, including meditation, breathing techniques, ethics, postures, and devotional practices, bring the practitioner into contact with the core of the heart. Along this path of the heart one is sure to find obstacles. We begin practicing yoga postures in an effort to relieve suffering and find a way to meet life with less effort and more flexibility. Yoga is a path out of suffering. ... One cannot work with the body without also working with the mind, because when we work with the symptoms of discontent, we begin to see that physiology and psychology are inseparable. ... Rather than approaching the manifestations of psychological malaise as symptoms that we need to be rid of with a problem-solving attitude, we instead look deeply into the underlying causes of these symptoms, namely the five klesas, and we turn the symptoms of our suffering into the very path itself. ... The essence of yoga is a path of freedom from our habitual cycles of discontent.”

The book focuses on the therapeutic system of Tung's Acupuncture. Disorders covered in this book include therapeutic point selections and the analysis of reasoning and theoretical principles. The point selections are described according to the 14 meridians and explained in accordance with classical acupuncture and Master Young's personal clinical experience. Master Young also compares the therapeutic effect between the applications of the 14-meridians and Tung's acupuncture. All subjects are covered in depth and are clinically practical in scope. Thus it is not only a book on Tung's therapeutic system, but also a practical book on therapeutics in the 14 meridians, allowing readers to choose either the 14 meridians or Tung's acupuncture or a combination of both to treat clinical disease presentations.
Important theoretical principles such as Zang Fu Bei Tung (The extraordinary connections of the zangfu), Ti Ying Zhen Fa (Application of Holographic Acupuncture Technique for Different Parts of the Body), Taiji Holography and Correspondence, and the Method of Selecting Five Shu Points of the Same Five-Element Category have their own chapters to elaborate their theoretical principles and applications in details. Those chapters help the readers comprehend the advanced theories of Tung's extraordinary points so as to successfully incorporate Tung's acupuncture into their clinical practice.

Lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease that seriously compromises the health of
the body. In the West, the prevalence of lupus erythematosus is rising, but its etiology remains unclear.
Current biomedical treatment uses glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants to ease the symptoms and reduce
complications. Long-term application of these medicines causes many side-effects, such as infection,
anemia, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and diabetes. However, Chinese medicine has a long history of clinical success in the treatment of this condition. Furthermore, Chinese medicine has demonstrably reduced the side effects of biomedicine. Chinese medical therapy can help patients to gradually reduce daily dosage of corticosteroids, can prevent lupus flareups, and can regulate the body's immune functions, thereby significantly improving survival rates and life quality. This work is authored by a distinguished clinician in the PRC with a significant record of success in the treatment of lupus erythematosis.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding and amenorrhea are commonly and frequently seen in gynecology. All too often they
adversely influence female health and quality of life and consequently have been studied and treated by Chinese physicians since ancient times, resulting in a vast wealth of practical clinical experience. Chinese physicians have learned to balance kidney yin and kidney yang, promote the kidney function, and reestablish yin-yang equilibrium of the kidney-heart-uterus axis, combining the periodic variation of the ovaries. The results are regulation of the endocrine system and restoration of normal menstrual function. This work is a summary collection of clinical observation, diagnosis, treatment, and research outcomes for DUB and amenorrhea that will be most helpful to student and clinician alike.

Here is a book that moves the “green” conversation from personal sacrifice to real consideration of the nature of our connection with the earth. When we come to see ourselves as part of the great web of life, in relationship with all beings, we are naturally drawn to respond with compassion. The author outlines three aspects of the green practice path. “Seeking Green Principles” identifies an ethical foundation that emphasizes the importance of reducing harm to the earth in order to help life flourish. “Following the Green Path” offers ways individuals can strengthen personal commitment to green practice, based in clear intention, community engagement, and shared wisdom. “Acting on Green Values” takes up specific arenas that will develop energy awareness, investigate the nature of desire and consumerism, and explore expanding our capacity for earth keeping through peace-keeping.

The author presents a method of seasonal and cyclical acupuncture, based on the Seasonal Balancing treatments of Richard Tan, which are in turn based on the ancient hexagram arrangements from the I Ching (Yi Jing), or Book of Changes. The text is written for acupuncturists who are familiar with Dr. Tan's Balance Method, and assumes that the practitioner understands the theoretical rationale behind Tan's six-system theory, which uses the internal relationship between the meridians and energetic systems as the hinge on which to bring balance to the body. Presented in four parts, Part 1 covers some of the theory explaining why Tan's Balance Method is successful and reviews the six balancing systems with examples of their application. Part 2 explores the I Ching, guas, hexagrams, the fu xi (earlier heaven) ba gua (eight trigram) and its application to the Balance Method. Part 3 introduces the special wen wang (later heaven) ba gua and explores different aspects of Seasonal Balancing. Part 4 presents case studies from the author's clinic that illustrate the application of seasonal balancing treatments.

When the author first began teaching and practicing using herbs, it seemed most people took them just as a substitution for Western medical drugs but with the same symptomatic reference frame: herbs were viewed according to their chemical constituents and effect on the body. Thus many took herbs and recovered for a while, but their illness would manifest in another fashion. Nothing was really changing, especially not consciousness. In searching pathways beyond symptomatic treatment to source-level treatment, Montgomery found a way of working that shifts consciousness so that true healing could take place. This required looking beyond the physical properties of the plant to see if healing could occur at deeper levels. Never doubting her abilities to communicate with them, she went directly to the plants to find out how they could assist her. What she learned over the years is that plants are vastly intelligent, multidimensional beings with tremendous capacity for healing at a source level. Working with their whole beings, not just their chemical constituents, is what can effect this type of healing. The tinctures, teas, essential oils, and other useful parts are one aspect of plants that can affect physical healing, but it is not their entire, uniquely complex, and true nature. Working with all of the plant, the trinity of heart, soul, and spirit, will access healing for the heart, soul, and spirit of people.

This book is an advanced textbook and clinical manual devoted to the treatment of andrological diseases with Chinese medicine, written for English-speaking students and practitioners of Chinese medicine. Book 1 introduces the foundations of Chinese andrology, beginning with a short history of andrology in Chinese medicine and progressing to discussions of anatomy of the male genitourinary system; the channels and network vessels; the viscera and bowels; disease causes and pathomechanisms; Chinese andrological diseases and general treatment principles. Book 2 covers specific andrological diseases including their definition; Western medical perspective; causes and pathomechanisms; disease and pattern discrimination; treatment principles; treatment with Chinese medicinals and acumoxa therapy; representative Chinese research abstracts, and case studies.
The major evidence-based complementary Western herbs and supplements for each condition are also included, as Western patients are often already taking them by the time they seek the help of a physician of Chinese medicine or they are interested in taking them. Further, because the reader of this book is most likely to be a Western English-speaking person, the material is organized by Western medical disease categories, and each Western medical disease is reframed into its constituent Chinese disease categories. Without question, this book offers a major contribution towards a greater understanding of men’s health and illness for those in the West to study or practice Chinese medicine.

Psoriasis and cutaneous pruritus are commonly seen in dermatology. Psoriasis affects the appearance and causes patients significant physical and mental distress. Its lingering course and its complex etiological factors cause it to be referred to as a “non-fatal-survivable cancer.” The antipruritic therapies used in biomedicine can achieve good curative effects but come with various side effects. On the other hand, Chinese medicine is visibly effective and can both relieve and control pathological conditions by classifying them according to the complete system of pattern differentiation, and applying effective treatments according to the different clinical manifestations. With this text you will learn from the clinical experience of ancient and modern masters to facilitate treatment of these conditions.

This book presents Ohm Therapeutics, a basic yet comprehenisve sound healing system featuring the universally recognized vibrational frequency of Ohm and its overtones. To resonate with Ohm is to unite with the life-supporting energy of the Earth, which positively affects our biological rhythms and circadian clock. The application of sound vibration to the physical and subtle body opens the energetic pathways where the qi or natural life force flows. As a result, energy blocks are removed, increasing the flow of qi, facilitating homeostasis through which profound healing begins. In addition to exploring the healing aspects of vibration, sound, and music, the author presents a system utilizing Ohm tuning forks plus music in the key of Ohm and 25 illustrated treatment protocols. The accompanying DVD demonstrates tuning fork technique, body mechanics, pace and application methods for the physical and energetic body, 20 treatment protocols utilizing acupoints and anatomical placements, and using singing and crystal bowls in a treatment setting. This is a hightly useful manual for beginners and seasoned healers alike.

The meridian test (or "M-test") is a powerful assessment, treatment, and self-care system that can be used to improve athletic performance and physical fitness. It simplifies the assessment of strain and injury so that even nonacupuncturists and athletes can learn to apply massage and stretching more effectively. It uses the meridian system to analyze the movements of multiple joints and muscles in a holistic way. The most suitable meridians for treatment are identified by evaluating a sequence of movements. Flexibility and ease of movement in relation to the meridians are assessed to identify the areas and muscles that need treatment.
Based on this assessment, the synergistic action of the joints and muscles involved in the movements can be facilitated with acupuncture, massage, or stretching. This system is compatible with the traditional understanding of the meridians, but takes it a step further to clarify the relationship between the meridians and movement. It helps practitioners select treatment and identify the most effective points for dealing with pain and restricted movement.
The M-Test can be used to evaluate the results of treatment or the stretching regimen so that a better strategy can be formulated if the results are unsatisfactory. In addition, athletes can learn stretching M-Test techniques and movements before or even during competition to identify and correct abnormalities to improve their performance and prevent injuries.

Stroke and Parkinson’s disease affect a great number of individuals around the world, most commonly appearing in the elderly. Although present pharmaceutical approaches to treatment achieve a certain therapeutic effect, many side effects usually result. Furthermore, these approaches fail to prevent progression. Systematic literature review shows that the application of Chinese medicine results in a definite therapeutic effect with very few side effects. Chinese medicine applies a strategy of regulation while both strengthening physical resistance and eliminating pathogens. Methods may be applied that simultaneously supplement and free the vessels, depending on the specific pattern differentiation. The clinical experience and experimental research collected here validates the superlative results that can be obtained when Chinese medicine is combined with standard rehabilitation methods.

The Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li practice combines the compassion of the heart energies (yang/fire) with sexual energies originating in the kidneys (yin/water) to form and feed the soul or energy body. Practice of the Chinese formula Siaow Kan Li (yin and yang mixed) uses darkness technology to literally “steam” the sexual energy (jing) into life-force energy (chi) by reversing the location of yin and yang power. This inversion places the heat of the bodily fire from the heart center beneath the coolness of the bodily water of the sexual energy of the perineum, thereby activating the liberation of transformed sexual energy.
Darkness technology has been a key element of Taoist practice--and of all Inner Alchemy traditions--throughout the ages. A total darkness environment stimulates the pineal gland to release DMT into the brain. The darkness actualizes successively higher states of consciousness, correlating with the accumulation of psychedelic chemicals in the brain. In the darkness, mind and soul begin to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. Death is no longer to be feared because life beyond the physical body is known through direct experience.
Master Chia teaches that the birth of the soul is not a metaphor. It is an actual process of converting energy into a subtle body. Developing the soul body is the preparation for the growth of the immortal spirit body in the practice of the Greater Enlightenment of Kan and Li.

Because many pediatric conditions have their origin in retained birth trauma, gentle cranial osteopathic treatment can address physical, emotional, and psychological imbalances. However, for most osteopaths in the cranial field, children make up only a modest percentage of the patients they see. As a result their experience and confidence in treating children develops more slowly. Concentrating particularly on the cranial osteopathic treatment principles developed by William Sutherland, this text brings together in an organized fashion the knowledge, experience, and insight of an impressive international array of osteopaths. Section 1 includes pre- and postnatal treatment of the mother; formative pre- and perinatal influences for the child; osteopathic fundamentals, osteopathic case taking, examination, and diagnosis; nutritional advice; osteopathic and allopathic pathophysiology; diagnosis and treatment approaches to common childhood pathologies; and considerations of logopedics, orthodontics, and vaccination. Given the depth and array of knowledge in the contributions to this present volume, many practitioners will benefit greatly from the opportunity to study its contents.

The author conducted a 12-month ethnographic field study on emotion-related disorders in various Beijing clinics and hospitals of Chinese medicine. His book brilliantly illuminates this TCM construct for Western readers who may be conceptually hampered by linear models of biomedical diagnosis, unable to sort through a chaos of symptoms to derive a treatable pattern of illness. It conveys emotion-related disorders as they are understood, experienced, and treated in the zhongyi (TCM) clinics in contemporary China. We see that emotion-related disorders are not directly correlate to emotional disorders or mental disorders in Western psychiatric conceptualization. The TCM construct is used loosely to include a group of illness patterns originating from internal damage attributable to excessive emotions and marked with certain configurations of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. This meaning reflects ongoing social and political dynamics in contemporary Chinese society and changes in the profession of Chinese medicine through decades of state-sponsored TCM modernization. The way in which a TCM disorder is conceptualized, experienced, diagnosed, and treated remains permeated with culture and tradition. This work covers an extensive range of complex ideas in a heady but accessible manner, offering a rich array of material for cogitative assimilation.

The author offers a unique approach to the study and acquisition of yang style tai chi chuan, based on his studies with Master T.T. Liang and the 150-posture yang style tai chi solo form. Early chapters on Foundation Training give pointers on internal movement and how to produce it with your body. The Posture Details section is aimed primarily at physical movement for each of the 150 postures in the long form. Step-by-step photos provide visual detail. This approach combines understanding the precision of movement required -- the actual physical mechanics of the form -- with music and beat. Beats help to define the postures, mark precisely where your weight should be, and tell you at what angles to hold your arms, hips, and legs. It also leaves no room for your mind to wander, so you find yourself "in the moment." The material includes a useful warm-up set and important pointers before beginning form practice.
