Drawing on South and East Asian philosophies and medicines, this book illustrates how our bodies and minds are influenced by our actions, habits, aging, trauma, and thought patterns. Using the analogy of being like water, Margot Rossi presents a range of practices-including imagery, dao yin therapeutic movement, yoga, and mindful attention-that help build awareness and potentially shift our form, physiologically and neurologically. The first section of the book is dedicated to exploring the virtues of being like water, based on 30 years of Rossi's professional and personal experience. Each essay ends with dao yin therapeutic movements, learned and interpreted from the oral teachings of 88th-generation Daoist priest and world-renowned scholar of Daoism and Chinese medicine, Jeffrey Yuen. The second section offers teachings of classical Chinese medicine theory for patients and practitioners alike. It includes detailed case studies and basic diagnostic steps, and demonstrates how health concerns can be used as a foundation for change and growth.
