The last 50 years have seen the popularity of Chinese medicine grow exponentially. In China, Korea, Japan and Singapore, Chinese medicine has been incorporated into their healthcare systems to varying degrees. In the West, it is no longer uncommon for patients to consult Chinese medicine doctors, many of whom are non-Chinese. However, among Christians in many parts of the developed world, Chinese medicine is still viewed with suspicion and negativity. Are these fears justified? How can we better understand the roots and practices of Chinese medicine? The Dao of Healing takes us on an in-depth exploration of the histories and philosophies that have shaped both Western biomedicine and Chinese medicine in order that we might make informed judgements about them. If our call is to “love our neighbours”, we need to be able to dialogue with them on the basis of mutual respect and understanding. Let this book be the catalyst for meaningful and productive conversations across the divide.

Daoyin, the traditional Chinese practice of guiding the qi and stretching the body is the forerunner of Qigong, the modern form of exercise that has swept through China and is making increasing inroads in the West. Like other Asian body practices, Daoyin focuses on the body as the main vehicle of attainment; sees health and spiritual transformation as one continuum leading to perfection or self-realization; and works intensely and consciously with the breath and with the conscious guiding of internal energies. This book explores the different forms of Daoyin in historical sequence, beginning with the early medical manuscripts of the Han dynasty, then moving into its religious adaptation in Highest Clarity Daoism. After examining the medieval Daoyin Scripture and ways of integrating the practice into Tang Daoist immortality, the work outlines late imperial forms and describes the transformation of the practice in the modern world. Presenting a rich crop of specific exercises together with historical context and comparative insights, Chinese Healing Exercises is valuable for both specialists and general readers. It provides historical depth and opens concrete details of an important but as yet little-known health practice.

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.

In 1981, French musician/composer and acupuncturist Fabien Maman conducted a revolutionary sound/cellular experiment, documenting for the first time under a microscope, the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells. This research changed the landscape of vibrational sound healing as we know it today. Websters' Dictionary (English), sites Maman as the founding father of vibrational sound therapy. His colleagues call him a visionary before his time. 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of Maman's sound/cellular experiment. In commemoration of this anniversary, Fabien Maman has now written The Tao of Sound: Acoustic Sound Healing for the 21st Century. This book is an encyclopedia of Maman's more than 30 years of research and practical application, creating more than 30 techniques to heal the body, mind and spirit using acoustic sound, color and chi movement®. Fabien Maman is the man who created the now famous technique of using tuning forks and color lights on the acupuncture meridians to heal the body, mind and spirit. Each evolutionary technique is grounded in sound and cellular research, as well as the Classical traditions of music theory, mathematics, Chinese medicine, aikido, Kototama and astrology. The Tao of Sound will become the quintessential Encyclopedia for Sound Healing. It is everything you ever wanted to know about Fabien Maman's sound research and sound protocols from Star to Cell - linking the human body, organs, meridians, chakras and subtle energy fields with the 5 elements of nature, 8 directions of the Bagwa, the Kaballa and the stars and beyond. And it is backed by his 100 brilliant color photographs of human cells under the influence of acoustic sound! It is also a manifesto for acoustic sound - challenging all who enter the world of vibrational sound healing, to do so softly... with no electronic nor electric sounds... but returning, once again, to the healing power of pure overtones and harmonics that can only be found in the five elements and the nature....

The TAO OF CH'I, HEALING WITH THE UNSEEN LIFE FORCE by Mark Dana Mincolla, Ph.D., is a profoundly innovative & inspirational work which explores the application of contemporized Chinese healing protocols as models for 21st century energy medicine. Phonetically pronounced as DOA OF CHEE, this title may be literally translated as "the way of energy." To the ancient Chinese however, Ch'i was no ordinary energy. Rather, it was described as the subtle universal energy which vivifies all living things. With subtle energy as his main theme, the author draws astonishing parallels between the metaphysics of ancient China & the physics of the modern west. We are emphatically reminded by the author that Ch'i, not unlike Einstein's "quanta," is the mystical unifying life force which represents the most vital common denominator of all living & healing. The book centers around a series of informal workshops where subjects were administered four uniquely adapted Chinese energy healing protocols. The author employed the bio-feedback technology of Kirlian (auric energy) photography in order to visually demonstrate the aura (human energy field) changes in subjects before & after administering the energy protocols. Also, inspired by ancient Eastern principles which contend that sound & light vibrations are the most powerful, primal form of energy medicine, the author has developed an innovative synchronized light & sound vibrational healing bath for use in these energy workshops.
