Knocking at the Gate of Life: And Other Healing Exercises from China - Softcover

Health - that strong, ready for anything feeling - is something that is available to most of us, if we put our minds (as well as our bodies) to it, because self-healing exercise sends a positive message to the body's immune system, encouraging our healing mechanism to help itself, rather than rely on external factors. It is not only familiar health problems that can be helped by Chinese healing exercise; chronic conditions may also be improved. There are chapters on healing heart and circulatory disease, lung and respiratory disease, the digestion, the nervous system, muscles and bones, and the genito-urinary system. From the famous Chi Kung breathing techniques, through body bends to help correct spinal curvature, to pelvic tilts to develop muscle tone during pregnancy, you will find a Chinese drug-free prescription that can help you, whatever your problem. 'Knocking at the Gate of Life' can admit you to a future filled with health and the satisfaction of taking care of yourself. As the Chinese would say: it will make your internal energy so strong that no disease can enter.
