A Farmers Almanac for the Human Body!
Eight Winds in the Heavens is the product of decades of research into seasonal health and Seasonal Qi Gong. Renowned author, martial artist, Qi Gong expert and Chinese medical practitioner Tom Bisio and martial arts and Qi Gong instructor Valerie Ghent have spent more than 20 researching this book
Eight Winds in the Heavens is a life-changing immersion into principles of health, vitality and disease prevention so fundamental to our life on earth that they are literally embedded in our DNA.
Daoist sages who lived long healthy lives stressed the importance of seasonal health practices and Seasonal Qi Gong in preserving and maintaining health. They had direct, practical experience of seasonal energetic changes, and understood the importance of adjusting exercise, lifestyle and diet to seasonal shifts in order to cure existing health problems, and prevent future illness. Over centuries, scholars, philosophers, naturalists, and physicians made acute and detailed observations about the effects of seasonal change on human beings and other living creatures. They discovered that observable changes in living things, in response to earth’s position in the cosmos, correlated with the “Seasonal Nodes” - 24 two-week periods.
Previously, the vast number and diverse nature of seasonal health maintenance and disease prevention practices in China made them difficult to understand and organize for practical use.
