Qigong is a holistic practice of movements, breathing, and meditation that can aid in healing, spiritual growth, and martial arts training. The Dao De Jing was based on Lao Tzu's “personal understanding about the Dao and the De through his personal qigong practice,” writes Yang (Pain-Free Joints, 2017, etc.) in his introduction. “Since the Dao of managing the body is similar to the Dao of managing a country,” Lao Tzu “offered moral guidance to historical Chinese rulers.” After some preliminary material supplying a context for Lao Tzu and his work―along with a rundown of some of its underlying philosophical concepts―Yang provides all 81 chapters of the Dao in both the Chinese original and in his English translation. He then delivers both a general interpretation of each chapter's meaning and a qigong-specific analysis. In the case of Chapter 29, for instance (“Doing Nothing―Be Nature”), the general interpretation discusses the concept of wuwei (doing nothing) as it applies to governance: “A ruler should govern according to Nature. Too much of acting on the world (using force) will fail.” The qigong analysis, in turn, is focused on the importance of regulating the mind: “When you practice qigong, your mind must be in a neutral and calm state.” Yang's translations capture the delicate precision of the original while presenting it in highly accessible language. The dual interpretations of the text are an enlightening feature, even for those readers with no prior interest in qigong. The general interpretation is more outward-facing, toward the world; the qigong one is inward-facing, toward the self. Between the two, the full picture of the Dao emerges as an intriguing symmetry. This is a long book (nearly 540 pages) for a relatively short text, but Yang's commentaries greatly aid in understanding Lao Tzu's words and the worldview behind them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"An elegant and comprehensive critical edition of the Dao De Jing.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e ― KIRKUS Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YMAA Publication Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020094734679,"sku":"9781594396199","price":19.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781594396199.jpg?v=1750782385"},{"product_id":"the-magicians-i-ching-9781904658658","title":"The Magician's I Ching","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Magician's I Ching is a complete workbook for I Ching study, written in a serious but approachable style, for use from the beginner to the very advanced level, and for anyone who is interested in understanding the I Ching in both Theory and Practice.

such as prognostic terms, imagery from daily life, rhetorical tropes, metaphors, proverbs and set phrases. This provides insight on how the \u003ci\u003eZhouyi \u003c\/i\u003ewas composed and explains its use for divination. It also shows how, centuries later, the \u003ci\u003eZhouyi \u003c\/i\u003ewas adapted by the Confucians, who believed it to be the creation of ancient sages, and the source of their metaphysics and cosmology. Redmond also analyzes the Changes through a variety of philological heuristics, such as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, methods of analogy and anomaly, the distinction between argumentative and context dependence, as well as modern approaches such as Jungian psychology, and critical theory. Included are the interlinear Chinese text, and a glossary of key words in English, Chinese, and pinyin, making it essential reading for students studying Chinese philosophy, Chinese religion, and early Chinese history, as well as readers looking for a clear and accessible gloss of this text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53187316842839,"sku":"9781350443532","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"declutter-your-mind-now-22-simple-habits-to-declutter-your-mind-live-a-happier-healthier-and-stress-free-life-how-to-eliminate-worry-anxiety-negative-thinking-to-live-a-richer-life-9781521914595","title":"Declutter Your Mind Now - 22 Simple Habits To Declutter Your Mind \u0026 Live A Happier, Healthier And Stress-Free Life: How To Eliminate Worry, Anxiety \u0026 Negative Thinking To Live A Richer Life","description":"","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188207411543,"sku":"9781521914595","price":10.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"i-ching-guide-for-beginners-seek-guidance-and-wisdom-from-the-book-of-change-9781984977304","title":"I Ching Guide for Beginners: Seek Guidance and Wisdom from the Book of Change","description":"","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53194114203991,"sku":"9781984977304","price":11.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"the-other-yijing-the-book-of-changes-in-chinese-history-politics-and-everyday-life-9789004472150","title":"The Other Yijing: The Book of Changes in Chinese History, Politics, and Everyday Life","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn imperial China, the Yijing (Book of Changes) was not just read as a Confucian classic for moral cultivation, but also put into practice to solve problems of everyday life. To explain why the Yijing  was so widely used in China, this volume examines its multiple textual layers, its divinatory practices, its medical uses, and its role in Chinese modernity. Together, the ten chapters demonstrate that the Yijing  is indeed a living text used by both the educated elite and the populace to alleviate their fear and anxiety.
