Eight Winds in the Heavens Seasonal Health Secrets and Qi Gong Exercises from Daoist Sages that Prevent Disease and Promote Optimal Health & Vitality Tom Bisio's newest book, Eight Winds in the Heavens, is a life-changing Immersion into principles of health, vitality and disease prevention so fundamental to our life on earth that they are literally embedded in our DNA. This book is literally a "Farmers Almanac" for the Human Body. Daoist sages who lived long, healthy lives stressed the importance of seasonal health practices and Seasonal Qi Gong in preserving and maintaining health. Over centuries of detailed observation of the patterns inherent in all living things, they discovered observable changes within living things in response to the earth's position in the cosmos that correlated with the "Seasonal Nodes" (24 two-week periods), and they created health practices and exercises to assist the body in adapting to and harmonizing with these cyclical changes. Eight Winds in the Heavens is the product of decades of research into seasonal health and Seasonal Qi Gong. Previously the number and diverse nature of the seasonal health maintenance and disease prevention practices in China made these practices difficult to understand and organize for practical use. Now renowned author, martial artist, Qi Gong expert and Chinese medical practitioner, Tom Bisio has gathered all of these self-cultivation methods together in a single, easy-to-use volume that is organized like a calendar. These powerful methods of preserving health are now literally at your fingertips. Simply open the book to the current two-week period and begin. Engaging with even one of these methods can create profound changes in the body, mind and spirit. Eight Winds in the Heavens includes these Seasonal Health practices: - Season Dao Yin Self Massage - Seasonal Node Qi Gong - Seasonal Spinal Meditation - Seasonal Health Diet - Adapting Mind and Spirit to the Seasons - Seas
