• Systematically explains the nature and development of addictions, the process of recovery, and how the Tao Te Ching can provide guidance
• Provides easy-to-perform Chi Kung practices to aid with recovery, specifically for challenges that don't respond to mainstream treatment
• Describes Taoist Emotional Recycling to heal stuck emotions about the past and address the urges and attitudes that often cause relapse
This book explores addiction and recovery from a Taoist viewpoint, offering a path to healing rooted in ancient Chi Kung practices and principles from the Tao Te Ching.
Emphasizing the eternal balance of yin and yang, the authors show that addiction clogs up the body's "yin centers," hindering one's ability to process energy effectively and propagating a pattern of stuck behaviors. The authors provide a systematic approach that has been refined over 5,000 years of easy-to-perform Chi Kung exercises that help rebalance the body, identify the root causes and traumas that fuel addiction, and address the attitudes and urges that cause relapse.
Through these holistic organ- and body-centered practices, readers can develop healthy sleeping patterns, eliminate brain fog, reduce joint pain, and develop willpower. Readers are also guided in Taoist Emotional Recycling to heal stuck emotions about the past and transform negative energy into positive energy to ensure recovery and return to a state of wholeness.
