Ancient Chinese Taoists successfully lived in harmony with their natural being. Tao, The Subtle Universal Law tells us the 'how' and the 'why' of living according to the subtle law that integrates our environment, bodies, spirits, and minds. Study the wisdom of the ages in order to avoid the dualistic thinking and living that results in humanity's present troubled state of affairs.
Hua-Ching Ni says that when a human does not refine and cultivate himself, his or her energy remains heavy, adulterated and incomplete. The author explores energy cycles, yin and yang, exercise, emotions, ethics and the spiritual arts in order to help the reader achieve balance in our stressful, modern world.
Excellent intro to Daoist metaphysics and its relation to internal alchemy and traditional Chinese medicine. Wished the author/publisher added the Chinese characters to the Chinese terminology.
A summary of Taoist philosophy, physical exercises, beliefs of Chinese traditional medicine. Quite enjoyable, but may be hard going if one knows nothing about the subject before starting.
