Book Description
The traditional medicines of Middle Asia are rich and varied - from the Ayurveda and Siddha medicines of India, to the Unani and Sufi healing practices of the Middle East. Dr. Marc S. Micozzi unfolds the compelling idea that vital energy, expressed as "prana" in the Indian practice of Ayurveda, is the unifying concept that underpins and connects all of these traditions. Describing the origins, health strategies, diagnostic approaches, and modern-day uses of each tradition, he also draws parallels to, and finds correlations with, mainstream Western concepts - and demonstrates how all these therapies fit within the context of their own cultures and ours. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to practitioners of all Middle Eastern and Asian medical traditions, complementary and alternative health practitioners, and anyone with an interest in Middle Eastern and Asian approaches to health and well-being.

Book Description
Many styles of Tai Chi are available today, but most of them only emphasize one aspect of its original purpose. The focus tends to be on either the martial arts or the health perspective, while the spiritual aspect has been lost. This book presents Tai Chi as a powerful tool for cultivating the spirit, as well as the mind and body. This book intends to introduce Tai Chi as it was originally envisioned and practiced thousands of years ago by the Masters of Tao as a tool for self-cultivation of the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Readers will also be able to learn from the clear and concise photos and illustrations in the book to become proficient in the 18-Step Short Form and 28-Step Intermediate Form of Harmony Tai Chi.
