Drawing from tai chi and qigong, he explores how to avoid premature aging, highlights body posture as well as a flexible outlook on life, and looks at profound breathing. As we work with the rhythms of yin and yang in our bodies and lives, we discover the benefits of meditation and the practice of "stirring the shen"—the notion of circulating primordial shen, the root of life. Last but not least, eight clearly explained mind-body Daoyin longevity exercises show how to redirect and refine qi, the internal energy of the body.Interwoven with longevity pearls of wisdom, this illustrated guide shows that regardless of physical ability or age, the Taoist Earth Path is accessible to everyone. Without doubt, we all share the ability to live a long and healthy life.

Recensioner i media

“As a retired doctor of psychotherapy I am particularly interested in the psychological and physical impact this book will offer, ensuring good health and longevity. In addition to psychology, much of my professional career has been as a singer and singing teacher. The breathing techniques Peter teaches in this book are first-class for people who may suffer from a weakness in their breathing, typically caused by being physically blocked through poor deportment. These techniques will unlock, repair, and regulate the whole respiratory function. I suffer from osteoarthritis and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), an incurable chronic disease, and Peter’s teachings have enabled me to function far more positively and productively than otherwise would have been possible.In summary, I recommend this book for any age or state of health, as one that provides gentle and easy movements, very clearly explained, to maintain good health and a sense of well-being; to aid healing or to restore good health after illness; to improve living where full physical restoration may not be possible; or merely to work toward a long and healthy life.”
