Basic Health Publications Healing Power of Meditation: Your Prescription for Getting Well and Staying Well with Meditation
As a medical intern thirty years ago, Gabriel Weiss observed that meditation healed symptoms of stress and was preferable to tranquillisers, which often caused adverse side effects. Since then, meditation has become an important part of Dr. Weiss's practice. Pain, heart disease, cancer and depression are just a few of the common conditions that meditation can help. The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION combines medical studies, neuroscientific research, clinical case histories, spiritual wisdom, jazz lyrics, poems, paintings and Zen philosophy, weaving together a set of principles and meditative practices that you can easily integrate into your daily life. Each section incorporates simple exercises to help you take the ideas and practices discussed to a deeper level. Written for people with little time for formal daily meditation exercise, The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION teaches that, with practice, you can learn to unlock and benefit from meditation's healing power.

The Chinese University Press Classical Chinese Medicine
The English edition of Liu Lihong’s work is a milestone for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated 'integration' of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity.Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the 'traditional' nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but provides concrete guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large.
