Follow Your Tao: A Simple Guide to Balancing Your Energy for Inner Harmony
In Follow Your Tao, the teachings of Taoism and the healing system of TCM describe the interconnection between your health and everything you consume physically, mentally and spiritually.
Through a clear pathway that links key emotions and feelings to certain organs - known as wu shen or the five spirits, the book describes the five major organ groups or 'spirits' of the body, how to identify when they are out of balance and ways to rebalance them. A chapter is devoted to each 'spirit', which begins with a narrative story that serves as a metaphor or touchstone for the subject. A list of the organs' associations and attributes as well as a description of the organ's physical, emotional and spiritual properties and functions follows. Each chapter ends with a problems and solutions section, with step-by-step 'soul work' exercises to bring you back into balance.
