Reviews 'Recommended for any martial arts library.' - Journal of Asian Martial Arts 'You Are How You Move - Experimental Chi Kung. Practicing craniosocial therapist and chi kung teacher Ged Sumner beleives chi kung is the best kept secret on the planet. In You Are How You Move, Sumner says that exercise has long been considered as a stressful activity - in fact, he says in modern society there's an overwhelming tendency for everything to be stressful. That's where chi kung comes in. There's an alternative way to exercise that involves being gentle with yourself and enjoyable, while being no less powerful. You Are How You Move shows the reader, using photographs throughout the book, how to tap into their body, find the body's centre and spine, and listen to the message it gives them. Using this traditional and ancient form of Chinese movement, Sumner says we can become fit and healthy - vital, even - through opening and mobilising our body and joints.' - Australian Natural Health 'As a practising craniosacral therapist and tutor Ged understands how important the simple things can be. It is a practical book that needs to be used and not just read.

Richard Bertschinger, author of The Secret of Everlasting Life (the first translation of The Can Tong Qi), has worked from the classical commentaries to make a fresh and up-to-date translation for the modern world. Marriage, business ventures, journeys, military ventures, disputes, world affairs, personal problems, health or money issues, all are grist for the mill of the Book of Change. Through pondering the lines, studying their poetry, and devoting ourselves to its meaning, the heart of the ancients is clear. We pick up perhaps in a way we never could have conceived of, how to guide and direct our lives. With an introduction that explains the underlying structure and philosophy of the Book of Change, as well as its history, and a detailed explanation of how to throw the yarrow sticks, or the coins, the novice reader is given everything they need to take their first steps in consulting the ancient oracle, and those already familiar with established translations will find this fresh translation from the original texts clear and illuminating.

Reviews 'The great strength of Richard Bertschinger's rendition of the Yijing is that it is both a personal interpretation and one that is based on scholarship of the Chinese language. For millions of Chinese who have read the Yijing over the millennia understanding its ideas has been part of a lived experience, a personal journey. This edition also encourages the reader to place themselves at the centre of understanding; to understand it from the inside, not as an external observer.' - Ian Appleyard, course director of degree programmes at the London Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine, UK 'Richard Bertschinger's new translation of the Book of Change is poetical and perceptive, revealing aspects of this enigmatic work that may easily pass unnoticed. Whether the reader is interested in the cosmology of the Change, or wants to experiment with it as a divination manual, they will find inspiration in this translation.' - Fabrizio Pregadio, Taoist scholar and translator, and researcher at the University of Erlangen, Germany 'As a scholar and practitioner, Richard Bertschinger has devoted much time and interest to researching ancient Chinese philosophy. This new translation and commentary on the Yijing is an exceptionally fine piece of work, creating an easy-to-understand interpretation of the shamanic oracle of China for modern times.' - Dr Jidong Wu, PhD, senior lecturer in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Middlesex University, UK 'Reading through this translation of the Yijing by my old friend Richard Bertschinger, I was struck by his deep respect for the wisdom and living spirit of this ancient text, always allowing the oracle to speak for itself. Our practice is to become still enough to hear its voice.' - Shi Jing, 31st generation Dragon Gate priest and Chairman of the British Taoist Association, UK 'An essential book for anyone interested in Humanity's relationship with Heaven and Earth. Richard's scholarship opens a door to the rich imagery of the Yijing, illuminating its relevance for our time.

The broad, diverse and ancient practices of Chinese medicine are often misconstrued and overshadowed by the more modern Traditional Chinese Medicine in Westernised texts. This book places more powerful tools in the hands of practitioners and expands our knowledge of the full potential of Chinese medical practices. Grandmaster Wan was a well known doctor of Chinese medicine, who in the traditional way of Chinese teaching took on only a handful of students throughout his life, one of whom was Giorgio Repeti. The author's extensive notes, derived from his years of discipleship to Grandmaster Wan, form the basis of this book, and he has in the core of the book resisted any temptation to include his own views or amend those of the teacher. The approach described was characterised by Grandmaster Wan as the 3E approach (easy, economical and efficient), and is deceptively simple. It is, however, an approach that can only fully be comprehended through reflection and experience. The book covers the basic principles of diagnosis, with chapters on pulse and tongue diagnosis. A key chapter on acupuncture provides clear directives for treatment that relies on simple yet powerful underpinning principles, and challenges the much more complex approach to acupuncture commonly taught in the West. Herbal medicines and herbal treatments for cold, warm and hot diseases are also covered. Contents Editor's Preface. About the Author. Introduction. How to Read This Book. 1. Wan's 3E Diagnostic Method. 2. Radial Pulse. 3. 3E Acupressure. 4. 3E Acupuncture: The Essentials. 5. 3E Herbal Medicine: Cold and Hot Syndromes. Conclusion: To the Physician. Appendix. Reviews 'Wan's essentials for acupuncture make up the heart of the book. While Repeti acknowledges that the \"Information seems at first basic and easy,\" it's just such a fundamental approach that sets Dr. Wan's ideas apart from the overly complex instructions that typically characterize the practice of Chinese Medicine. This concise guide is packed with valuable perspectives for practitioners of Chinese Medicine and is an ideal supplement for collections in Oriental Medicine.' - Fore Word Reviews Author information Giorgio Repeti, LAc, has been heavily involved in alternative healthcare for over sixteen years.

Readers from many backgrounds can appreciate this scholarly work. This book is suited to both professionals in the healing arts as well as laypersons. If medical students were to read this we might have a much more effective health care workforce, where people would have a better understanding of health and the forces that govern our well-being.

Reviews 'An intriguing book that illustrates how TCM emphasizes the cultivation of mind\/body to maintain health and harmony.' - Library Journal 'The chapter What can acupuncture offer those with cancer? presents a readable digest of research in pain control, chemo and radiotherapy-induced damage such as immune injury, dry mouth, nausea and sickness, and so on. McGrath succeeds in identifying a good portion of the right research material. The same goes for the lengthy section on Chinese herbs that offers readers a lucid and fairly in-depth account of the role that Chinese herbal medicine can play in cancer care... McGrath's patient-oriented focus is shown in various handy hints about identifying suitable practitioners... This is the sort of material we often have to convey to patients to help them become involved in the treatment process and to feel assured that the CM path is a viable one. It can be a struggle to convey such information verbally and so in presenting this book McGrath has done us a service... Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches to Cancer succeeds in providing a convenient way of explaining to cancer patients what we do and why it should be seen as the informed patients realistic CAM option. We can now say: \"Read this for next week so you understand what we are doing\". It also has a place in the education of practitioners who only occasionally see cancer patients as it provides a basic overview of cancer care in CM without becoming too bogged down in detail. A resource worth having.' - The European Journal of Oriental Medicine 'Chinese medicine has several important tools to offer in cancer management, but the cultural language and unique medical diagnosis can be a barrier to understanding the correct use of these tools. Henry McGrath has an excellent grasp on the true principles of Chinese medicine and he has managed to present it in a way that can be readily understood by cancer sufferers or specialists who seek to view this disease from another perspective.' - Anthony Harrison, former President of Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Director of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine Chinese Herb Garden 'Henry McGrath has given us an invaluable gift. Taking the ancient and complex world of Chinese Medicine, he leads readers into a magical place of 'Qi', of free flowing energy, harmony, balance and 'whole person' therapy, in a ground-breaking and comprehensive study of this ancient medical system. Here is information for the practitioner; hope for the cancer sufferer; and for the discerning reader a glimpse into the Tao: the path of spirituality; a way to wholeness, harmony and healing. This book will be of long term value to all who read it.' - Pat Pilkington MBE, Co-Founder, Penny Brohn Cancer Care 'Henry McGrath has made great contributions to the improvement of professional education in Chinese medicine. In this much-needed book he clearly explains Chinese medicine to a lay audience. It shows that there is a solid research base behind the practice of Chinese medicine, and gives clear information to those with cancer.' - Jeremy Ross, Founder of Combining Western Herbs and Chinese Medicine Project 'In this book, Henry McGrath explains his view on how Chinese medicine can be effective in supporting the treatment of cancer by orthodox Western methods. He shows how it is particularly effective in alleviating many of the side effects of treatment. He presents the wide range of approaches including acupuncture and Qigong.

The Tzolkin Trilogy showcases the primal sound of the didgeridoo as it has never before been heard, in three original compositions, based on the Mayan calendar. This unique sound has been shaped and developed into a form that can act as a tool for healing and spiritual awakening. Using the Traditional Chinese Medicine principle that degeneration in the physical body is caused by imbalance and functional disharmony within the energy system, the sound vibrations work to connect with the human body's natural energy vibrations, in order to rebalance and restore their functional harmony and imbue the listener with a renewed sense of lightness and freedom. These soothing and pure sounds should be experienced by anyone interested in music as a therapeutic tool, and are especially effective for those suffering from emotional or mental stress, sleep problems and disorders of the nervous system, digestive organs or the heart.

Building on an understanding of the body as a complete ecosystem where symbiotic relationships maintain balance in both mind and body, this integrative model sheds new light on an area that has seen rapidly growing interest both in and out of scientific communities, providing a more holistic and comprehensive perspective that both unites and broadens the potential applications of microbiome knowledge across medical and therapeutic traditions.\u003cbr\u003eThe book's focus on the microbiome of the gastro-intestinal tract allows to explore the far-reaching and wide-ranging effects of the gut's micro-organisms on other body systems, on their ability to maintain good physical and mental health, and to fight disease and illness. This emphasis further provides readers with a practical guide to understanding and supporting a well-functioning gut and microbiome, through lifestyle choices and practices that focus on eating well, sleep hygiene, and mindful living.\u003cbr\u003eThe booming interest in the area of gut health makes this compelling, accessible and informative hands-on book, an important tool for patients and practitioners of Oriental medicine and other relevant disciplines, offering readers a unique opportunity to add a new dimension to their knowledge of gut health.

Reviews 'One of the most difficult things for a bodyworker to quantify is the subjective experience of 'dis-ease' for each individual client. Julie defines and teaches that therapeutic quality of 'presence.' This book takes you beyond communicating with your client to true interaction with body, mind and spirit. I learned from this book, and because of it will continue to learn more with each interaction with my clients. Improved communication, improved outcomes, continued learning and growth for both the client and the bodyworker...Fabulous! This is what the therapeutic relationship is all about!' - Jean Wible, RN, BSN, NCTMB, LMT, HTCP, author of Pharmacology for Massage Therapy and Drug Handbook for Massage Therapists 'As human consciousness evolves, we continue to develop greater and greater awareness of the mind\/body connection, and the many ways in which our bodies mirror our emotions and thought patterns. In The Insightful Body, Julie McKay has given us a clear, insightful, ground-breaking roadmap for learning the language of the body, and listening to all it has to teach us about ourselves, and about those we seek to help. It is an invaluable contribution to the literature on physical and expressive therapies.' - John E. Welshons, author of One Soul, One Love, One Heart and Awakening From Grief 'The Insightful Body is much more than a book. It is a step-by-step course for therapists, offering a range of processes and insights, to facilitate communication with the wisdom of their clients bodies.' - Bruce Burger, MA, RPP, founder of Heartwood Institute and author of Esoteric Anatomy: The Body as Consciousness 'This manual is a wonderful resource for practitioners seeing to develop or improve skills in bringing about healing, through the integration of the language of evocative words with the language of gentle touch. Its detailed descriptions of a wide range of techniques and of protocols with which to structure sessions makes it immediately relevant. Julie's appreciation of the difficulty one can feel venturing into this domain for the first time is especially helpful.' - Mike Brenner, integrative practitioner 'This book is a must have for any therapist who wants to facilitate the awakening of the perfect healer in each of their patients\/clients.' - Perci Kotter, LMT, certified Zero Balancing practitioner 'A great gift to the therapeutic community. Julie has created a Rosetta Stone for healers to translate the wisdom which is inherent yet unique in every person's body. This wonderful resource has something for every therapist of varying disciplines and skill levels. It is full of well-described techniques to start using right away.' - Maria C.S. Gabelberger, Psy.D, licensed clinical psychologist and Ericksonian hypnotherapist in private practice 'Each day as a practitioner I am faced with the challenge of trying to understand, communicate, and make a difference with each of my clients. Therapists must deal with the frustration of different personality types. Julie has given me the tools to better understand myself, know which type of communicator I am and help me correspond with my clients. Her advice is well-written, comprehensive and easy to implement. It is a must read for any practitioner who wants to better comprehend and converse with their clients. After reading her book, I feel that I have the necessary tools to get beyond the communication barriers and treat the patient much more effectively.' - Dr. Kerry D'Ambrogio DOM, AP, DO-MTP, PT, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, osteopath, physical therapist, and founder of Therapeutic Systems Incorporated 'Julie McKay's The Insightful Body is an essential guide that proves that through communication and understanding we can all be the beneficiaries of powerful and healthy human connections.

Do veterinarians suggest sterilization in order to make money? What are the health benefits? Is it expensive? Will sterilizing your pet economically benefit pet shops and breeders? Are we entitled to deprive animals of what nature has given them? My animal is purebred. Will it be less of a guard dog? I really want to be present at a birth.

Reviews 'I would recommend this book to any naturopath who would like to understand the mental states of patients, and to anyone who has a pet animal. With good instruction from an animal behavioural specialist, to correct the human element of the problem, and a knowledge of the Bach Flower remedies for the animal, a healthy, happy, loved, well behaved pet is virtually guaranteed.' - British Naturopathic Journal 'The handbook of Bach Flower Remedies' by professional therapist Enric Homedes is a gem which would be a great addition to any animal lovers' collection of complementary treatment 'bibles'... Enric's love of animals is clear in this beautiful book and in the invaluable guidance for those of us who have rescue animals with a variety of behavioural issues as a result of the stress of being taken into rescue care and then rehomed. He has a deep understanding of psychological and training issues involving dogs, and this is clear in the additional chapters that are included on neutering guidance and the use of the flower remedies specifically in rescue kennels. Overall, the word 'Handbook' is well chosen for this title, as it is an all-encompassing text for choosing and using the Bach Flower Remedy system to bring greater health and wellbeing to our beloved pets. The emphasis is on explaining and illustrating in a straight forward manner the technical aspects to using the remedies, so it is accessible to all who have an interest in the welfare of animals. I use the remedies regularly on animals, and will continue to do so as I become more and more convinced of the good that they bring to the lives of our pets. A book such as this builds confidence in choosing the right remedies and handling and administering them in the most effective way.' - Pet Lovers Digest 'The behavioral descriptions are particularly helpful, since they may provide insight into an animal's everyday patterns that an owner might otherwise miss. Also useful, the case study section helps to put these maladies into context, and show that sometimes it takes some tweaking of the flower remedies to get just the right mix. Because of its breadth of information, Homedes' work will be quite useful for anyone who identifies issues that might be treated with a flower remedy first rather than another trip to the vet... This well-written, very lucid guide to common pet behavioral problems and their treatment deserves to be a go-to reference for any animal owner.' - Foreword Reviews 'The professional experience of Homedes, partly described in this book, reminds us once again that Bach Flower Therapy is not a matter of faith, but of technical knowledge, of good practice and of method. I hope this work is distributed as widely as it deserves and helps those wonderful beings that offer us everything in exchange for almost nothing: animals.' - From the foreword by Dr. Ricardo Orozco, Bach Flower Therapist, and cofounder and president of SEDIBAC, Spain Author information Enric Homedes has been a professional Bach Flower Therapist since 1999 when he trained at the Edward Bach Institute. His professional activity involves therapy and tuition on the application of Bach Flower Remedies to humans and animals, and he is also a canine trainer. He is vice-president of SEDIBAC (The Society for the Study and Promotion of Bach Flower Remedies in Catalonia) and has organized and spoken at numerous congresses and conferences on Bach Flower Remedies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Handbook of Bach Flower Remedies for Animals\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234mm x 156mm 9.25in x 6in, 256pp\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011, paperback, ISBN: 978-1-84819-075-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Handbook of Bach Flower Remedies for Animals\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singing Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67926761144543,"sku":"SD170","price":56.09,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6526\/4863\/files\/the_20handbook_20of_20bach_20flower_20remedies_20for_20animals.jpg?v=1791238455"},{"product_id":"the-great-intent-acupuncture-odes-songs-and-rhymes","title":"The Great Intent: Acupuncture Odes, Songs and Rhymes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of songs and rhymes composed by Chinese acupuncturists was compiled by the physician Yang Jizhou in 1601.

One chapter is devoted to problems related to stagnation and the flow of Qi, and explains the different causes and forms of stagnation. Later chapters look at breathing patterns and the extension of Yi, opening the joints, and rotating the bones and spine. Damo Mitchell also discusses stillness as the source of movement, the philosophical significance of the Dragon and the pearl, and the means of hardwiring Dao Yin exercises into the energetic body. Central to the discussion is the concept of the spine, and how to wake it up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in the English language, the Dragon exercises - Awakening, Swimming, Soaring and Drunken - are described in detail, with photographs and step-by-step instructions on each of the exercises as individual therapeutic exercises and as a form.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral box-reviews\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; line-height: 22.652px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral-content\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; opacity: 1!important;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"std\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e'\u003cem\u003eThe Four Dragons\u003c\/em\u003e completes a trilogy of plain English Daoist Nei Gong titles setting out a methodology which has proven so successful at Damo Mitchell's courses in Europe, the USA, and Asia.
