Oriental Medicine

Chris McAlister is currently one of the most prominent ambassadors of Shiatsu and the Asian way of life in the West. In this comprehensive and easy-to-digest book, he takes the listener on a journey right into the heart of Oriental medicine and how it overlaps with modern Western science and philosophy. The author’s profound knowledge and experience are conveyed by stories peppered with personal experiences, case studies and anecdotes. Sometimes poetic and sometimes straight from the heart, he explains how energy manifests itself.

Cuando hablamos de medicina oriental, nos referimos particularmente a la medicina China. Si bien en esta obra haremos referencia a técnicas de otro origen, como el masaje japonés, no podemos dejar de distinguir la importancia y la trascendencia que las prácticas de origen chino le dieron a la sanación oriental.

Questo breve viaggio alla scoperta delle Terapie Orientali e in particolare di quelle Energetiche ti introdurrà alla scoperta di quei nuovi punti di incontro tra Medicina Orientale e Occidentale che si stanno sviluppando da alcuni anni: infatti i sistemi di cura della Medicina Orientale e della Medicina Occidentale si stanno piano piano avvicinando e fondendo per raggiungere nuove metodologie di prevenzione e guarigione. Sarà un persorso all’interno delle secolari medicine cinese e indiana fino alle pratiche terapeutiche più strettamente legate alla spiritualità e alla gestione delle emozioni.

Before the eyes can see with the clear vision of the Spirit, they must have grown incapable of the tears of wounded pride—unkind criticism—unmerited abuse—unfriendly remarks—slights—sarcasm—the annoyances of everyday life—the failures and disappointments of everyday existence. Take these thoughts with you into the silence, and let the truth sink into your mind, that it may take root, grow, blossom, and bear fruit. Kill out ambition. Kill out desire of life. Kill out desire of comfort. Work as those work who are ambitious. Respect life as those who desire it.
