The Essence of Living


Book Description

What is the meaning of life? Why do I feel unfulfilled and unhappy? How can I successfully build a joyous, meaningful life? The Essence of Living examines these questions through three stories that serve as metaphors leading to a simple, life-altering truth: Joy and meaning are achieved by living a different story than we were taught. Living in our spiritual amnesia, we forgot where we came from and lost faith in the worthiness of our lives. The Essence of Living helps us question ideas that lead us to lives of struggle, and replace them with approaches that bring joy and meaning. Robert A.

Nourishing the Essence of Life


Book Description

A Taoist adept provides a reader-friendly interpretation of the Taoist teachings on health and longevity The teachings of Taoism, China's great wisdom tradition, apply to every aspect of life, from the physical to the spiritual—and include instruction on everything from lifestyle (a life of simplicity and moderation is best) to the work of inner alchemy that is said to lead to longevity and immortality. Here, Eva Wong presents and explains three classic texts on understanding the Tao in the macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm of the body that provide an excellent overview of the three traditional levels of the Taoist teachings—Outer, Inner, and Secret. The Outer teachings are concerned with understanding the Tao as manifested in nature and society. They are easily accessible to the layperson and consist of the Taoist philosophy of nature and humanity, advice on daily living, and a brief introduction to the beginning stages of Taoist meditation. The Inner teachings familiarize the practitioner with the energetic structure of the human body and introduce methods of stilling the mind and cultivating internal energy for health and longevity. The Secret teachings describe the highest level of internal-alchemical transformations within the body and mind for attaining immortality.
