Essence Spirit: Blood and Qi

by Claude Larre

Essence, spirit, blood and qi are the fundamental and indispensable elements comprising life in a human being. Their individual qualities and interactions with one another determine the pattern for all movements of life, reflecting those of the cosmos. This book explores these ideas, considers each of the substances and presents observations and insights which are rooted in scholarship and philosophical reflection.

Definitely one of their most accessible and better books. Describes and differentiates jing, jingshen, jingqi, xueqi, blood and shen, etc. A very useful book for one wishing to supplement Macciocia and CAM. Fills in the gaps.
