Beskrivning

Ancient healers understood the universe as an interconnected conscious relationshipbetween natural elements. As Western medicine took hold, we lostour sense of intuitive healing and practices. Here, occupational therapist SusanL. Roberts—who also has a degree from Harvard Divinity School—gives us toolsfor self-care based on the five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine.These elements—fire, earth, wood, metal, and water—can also be linked to contemporaryscience and the elements of energy, matter, time, and space. Throughfocus on these elements, readers will learn how to impact tangible experiencesof living, such as sleeping, eating, working, and understanding one’s own body.Roberts argues that our bodies communicate with the world, and that symptomswe may experience, such as headaches or exhaustion, can be mitigated by tappinginto our ability to take care of ourselves—the essence of sustainable health.

Recensioner i media

"When we are feeling lost, we need a compass to know which direction will take us home. Susan Roberts has given us just that in Sustainable Health. As a well-seasoned occupational therapist, she has merged her considerable experience in treating the physical form with her long-time dedication to the practice of qigong in order to help us 'navigate a path to a more vibrant and happier life.' In this book, you will discover the simple and practical wisdom that emerges from understanding the deep relationships between the five forces of nature. This ecological wisdom has been passed down through the ages in every culture concerned with nurturing growth and is the foundation of Chinese medicine. Rather than living from one emergency to the next, Susan provides practical exercises that offer us an opportunity to orient ourselves within a bigger field of ecology that unifies body, mind, and spirit, enabling us to truly personalize our journey towards sustainable health."
