Master teacher Hou Hee Chan offers a rare insight into the concepts and methods of Zhineng Qigong--introduced to the West as Chilel Qigong by Hou Hee Chan and his brother, Luke Chan, who have both published works on Zhineng Qigong. This book is unique in that it offers exceptional and in-depth explanations of the basic practices of Zhineng Qigong, originally written in Chinese by Dr. Pang Ming, whose extensive writings include a nine-book series on Zhineng Qigong. As Master Chan has observed, no one can translate Dr. Pang's books as they are written; all one can do is interpret them as closely to the original as possible. Combining his understanding of both the theories and methods of Qigong, Master Chan gives us an opportunity to explore the depths of this ancient Chinese tradition and brings Qigong into the 21st century with his interpretations of these methods for a healthy body and a relaxed, clear mind. Relieve the stress of modern life by taking a journey into the practices of Zhineng Qigong! Master Chan's translation of the foundation methods of Zhineng (Chilel) Qigong offers a balanced and informed approach that will appeal to a wide audience of readers. Other books on Qigong are often intended for the specialist with a focus on the martial arts aspects of related practices, but this book is written to introduce the general public to the art of Qigong and to a specific type of Qigong aimed at creating a healthy and vital lifestyle. The standard spelling of Chinese terms (Pinyin) is used for ease in reading and pronouncing Chinese throughout the book. Both Chinese characters and Pinyin are used for technical terms in the main text or when the terms first appear. There is also a helpful glossary for use in finding and understanding terms. This masterful work is divided into three sections: a succinct overview of Zhineng Qigong; an in-depth explanation of the foundation methods of this practice; and a much needed translator's perspective that interprets and illuminates the practice methods based on Master Chan's years of personal experience as a teacher in the U.S. and abroad, and his study in China. Qigong is both an ancient and an evolving art, and this book captures the essence of these qualities through Master Chan's interpretations that help deepen our understanding of this dynamic art form.

In China, the art and practice of drinking tea is about much more than merely soaking leaves in a cup of hot water. The tradition is rooted in Daoism, and emerged from a philosophy that honoured living a life of grace and gratitude, balance and harmony, and fulfilment and enjoyment - what the ancient Chinese called Cha Dao, or the Way of Tea. Cha Dao takes us on a fascinating journey through the Way of Tea, from its origins in the sacred mountains and temples of ancient China, through its links to Daoist concepts such as Wu Wei or non-striving and the Value of Worthlessness, to the affinity between Tea Mind and the Japanese spirit of Zen. Interspersed are a liberal helping of quotes from the great tea masters of the past, anecdotes from the author's own trips to China, and traditional tea stories from China and Japan. The unique health benefits of tea are also explored, and a chapter is devoted to describing the history, characteristics and properties of 25 different tea varieties. This book will interest tea lovers, as well as those who want to learn more about tea culture, Daoist and Zen thought and practice, and Asian history and culture.

This book is an ethnographic study of the martial art of taijiquan (or 'tai chi') as it is practiced in China and the United States. Drawing on recent literature on ethnicity, critical race theory, the phenomenology of race, and globalization, the author discusses identity in terms of sensual experience and the transmission/receipt of knowledge.

Wainapel and Fast, both with Albert Einstein College of Medicine/ Montefiore Medical Center in New York, point out the irony of the speciality of physical medicine and rehabilitation having been considered a form of alternative medicine 50 years ago. Rather than being a practice manual or comprehensive survey of alternative medicine, this volume reflects the evolution of alternative medicine to an integrative/complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) seeking to combine the best of both worlds. Most of the 19 contributed chapters offer evidence-based treatments of such adjuncts to rehabilitation medicine for neurologic and other disorders as chiropractic, massage, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, acupuncture, nutritional therapy, and magnet therapy. Others discuss recent NIH-funded research, specific CAM treatment approaches, payment for CAM services, and professional literature issues. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
