| Description: | Select Guide Rating A guide to living well through the seasons of the year, the book reveals how the Five Elements, which embrace body, mind, and spirit, change focus through the year. The author offers a model for living in harmony with the world by responding to the Elements of each season, through nutrition, activity, and mindset. Here is a comprehensive and practical guide to using the Five Element model in your daily life in ways that can improve your physical health, foster mental ease and clarity, create more emotional balance, and bring you closer to spirit.Having introduced the philosophical and practical principles of the Five Elements, the author invites you to ''live the book'', immersing yourself in the many aspects of each Element during its corresponding season. He offers a range of methods of doing this, including activities such as movement, cooking, gardening, journaling, visualisation, meditation, dialogue and self-acupressure. In working with each Element, he explores the three levels or expressions of human life - the physical (structures, organs, tissues and systems), the psycho-emotional (thoughts, beliefs, self-images, emotions and reactions), and the spirit.Detailed information is provided on each Element''s specific attributes, associations, resonances and gifts, and anatomical illustrations are included for further guidance. An invaluable reference book for practitioners and students of Chinese Medicine who hope to become better practitioners to others, the book also provides the means to become a practitioner to yourself. |
