Liang Shou-Yu, Yang Jwing-Ming & Wu Wen-Ching
Emei, which incorporates both Daoist and Buddhist practices, is one of the least known martial arts in the West. This book, for beginners and advanced students, explains the philosophy, theory, and practice of baguazhang- a style of emei that emphasises circular movement, a potent mix of offensive and defensive strategies, and facility at all three fighting ranges (short, middle and long). The uniqueness of this form will become apparent to readers when they come across the Eight Palms Fighting Set, the Swimming Body Sequence, or the techniques of the special Deer Hook Sword.

Will Johnson
The psychological model of Buddhism and the therapeutic development of Ida Rolf converge in this unusual book. Though the two systems originated in altogether different times and places, the author sees them as having each developed into the position of working together in an intertwined and inevitable linkage, and relates the ways in which they already begun this integration.

The vitality you feel after giving or receiving a treatment is a function of the spring. Breema is the simplest form of natural body movement, yet during the treatment you receive exactly what you need. Everything the treatment accomplishes is the result of the life force passing through our body in its natural rhythm, in harmony with everything that is. RARE, out of print.

Chin-Ning Chu
When the Rainmaker arrived in the parched village, he set up his tent and disappeared inside for four days. On the fifth day, the rain started to fall. The people of the village asked what he did to accomplish this miracle. The Rainmaker replied, I have done nothing . And so the story begins. In our modern age, we seem the opposite of the Rainmaker. We busy ourselves to the point of exhaustion, give up sleep to do even more, rush here, rush there, go everywhere, and get nowhere. We believe that an enormous effort is required to achieve success, and if we fail, it is because we did not work hard enough. The Rainmaker, however, teaches us that the most successful people do not necessarily work harder. In fact, they are often more at ease than the people around them. The truth is that success comes to those who find a balance between effort and ease, striving and compromise. For those who know the Rainmaker's secrets, prosperity seems more like the result of good luck or being in the right place at the right time - the pieces just come together. Using simple metaphors and exercises - and offering immediate applications - Chin-Ning Chu explains how you can discover the Rainmaker's power of doing less and achieving more. She teaches the arts of fine-tuning and focusing your actions, putting your mind at ease and seeing the fun in the game of life, and discovering the unlimited, miracle-producing power of giving in to and working with - rather than fighting against - your successful destiny.

Humbart Santillo explains what are the main dietary sources of food enzymes, how correct enzyme supplementation can be beneficial, how they can help prevent allergies and candida, and much more.
