Product Description
A simple, tip-oriented guide to achieving balance physically, mentally, and spiritually. Based on the ancient Chinese concept of
chi, or life force, this book offers tips on eating, exercise, and feng shui for the modern Western consumer. When chi is weak or hampered, we feel lethargic or spiritually empty. When chi is in balance, we are energetic, happy, serene, calm, and capable. Acupuncture, feng shui, and tai chi are all based on this idea.
About The Author

Reader ReviewsSkye Alexander has put together an accessible collection of lifestyle ideas and practical exercises that just about anyone could benefit from. "Fundamentally taking care of your chi involves caring for yourself on every level and following a lifestyle that promotes health and well-being - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually". The book serves as a good introduction to a large number of complementary and alternative therapies. The author draws on a great deal of experience in these areas, from yoga to Chinese medicine to astrology and many others. The first 3 chapters (part one) are an overview of what chi energy is and how we can work with it. The remaining 4 chapters consist of a large number of practical suggestions and exercises that can help individual healing. There are simple meditation and yoga exercises, herbal remedies, self-help ideas and affirmations for keeping a positive attitude to life. I have been practising many of the suggestions in this book for many years and can confirm that they really make a difference. However, I personally will not be taking too seriously Skye's recommended action to prevent chi energy from leaving your home - always keep the toilet lid closed!?
