Centuries before the development of modern medicine, the ancient Taoists lived extraordinarily long and healthy lives-the by products of the quest to achieve harmony with natural and spiritual forces. This guide to Taoist wisdom combines physical exercises, self-massage, and meditation to strengthen the physical body, rejuvenate the qi (or inner life energy), promote emotional equilibrium, and cultivate spiritual peace. It offers deep relaxation techniques to improve concentration and relieve stress and provides ancient herbal recipes to restore vitality and strength, fight diseases, and melt away the effects of aging.
