The Mystery of Pain
Douglas Nelson
2013 224pp 9781848191525 pb $25.00
Covering the traditional scientic models of understanding
as well as the current research, the book explores the different
types of pain, providing clear explanations of the structures and
processes involved. It examines key issues such as the placebo
effect, bromyalgia syndrome (FMS), and how social support and
understanding can be powerful tools in reducing pains devastating
effects. The book also looks at diagnosis and measurement of
pain, and how different models of thinking affect the relationship
between patient and clinician.
Approaching pain in a practical and scientic way, the book
helps readers understand the processes of pain. It will be essential
reading for anyone who wants to know more about pain and pain
management, alternative medicine practitioners, massage therapists
and psychotherapists.
The more deeply you understand the process of pain, the more
power you have to inuence it. Emerging advances in the science of
pain are not only fascinating; they open doors to possible avenues
of treatment. This book presents a comprehensive, accessible guide
to the scientic understanding of pain.
Its a joy to help alleviate pain. Its equally frustrating to see a
patient return with chronic pain that was at best temporarily eased.
The Mystery of Pain puts those cases in context, providing an
excellent framework for both patients and health care providers
to understand why what works for one may not work for another.
Douglas use of current research and familiar examples clearly
explain the revolutionary changes inuencing our approach to a
growing problem. I highly recommend it for anyone suffering from
or treating pain.
- Celia Bucci MA, LMT, author of
Condition-Specic Massage Therapy
Douglas Nelsons book The Mystery of Pain is a compassionate
work from the heart, very important for anyone who wishes to
understand healing and to be healed. In this book, we are assisted
with deep empathy to open doors to explore this mystery of pain
in multiple dimensions. Its a lifelong journey to acknowledge
this awareness, one of the universal noble truths we must learn to
embrace. Thank you, Douglas, for your compassionate and learned
guidance.

Heavenly Stems and Earthly
Branches - TianGan DiZhi
The Keys to the Sublime
Master Zhongxian Wu and Dr. Karin Taylor Wu
2013 37 cards 9781848191501 $25.00
The Stems and Branches are fundamental to understanding much
of the Chinese medicines and arts, yet many people know little
about them.
TianGan (Heavenly Stems) and DiZhi (Earthly Branches),
commonly abbreviated to GanZhi, originated in the ancient
Chinese cosmological sciences and is a complex calendrical system
which was created to codify the patterns of life and of the universe
itself. The ten symbols of Gan express the Yin or Yang perspective
of Five Elements and embody the Way of Heaven. The 12 symbols
of Zhi, made manifest in the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac,
hold the root of each Element and embrace the Way of Earth.
This set of study cards decodes some of the fundamental
messages from the 22 GanZhi symbols. The Chinese character and
key characteristics of each Stem or Branch are shown, providing
invaluable insights into their symbolic and numerological
meanings. For calligraphers and those who want to draw the
characters correctly, the stroke order is clearly illustrated on
separate cards.

Gold Mirrors and Tongue
Reections
The Cornerstone Classics of Chinese Medicine
Tongue Diagnosis - The Ao Shi Shang Han Jin
Jing Lu, and the Shang Han She Jian
Ioannis Solos
Forewords by Professor Liang Rong and Professor Chen Jia-xu
2012 304pp 9781848190955 hb $65.00
Two of the major texts in the history of tongue diagnosis are
presented and put into context in this volume, reafrming the
strength of tongue diagnosis as a core diagnostic method. These
key texts are made available to western readers for the rst time,
with typical, traditional Chinese editions reproduced alongside
the translation. The author provides an excellent overview of the
tongue diagnosis theories in the major classics prior to the Yuan
Dynasty (1271-1368), and discusses signicant developments
and publications. The Gold Mirror Records, rst published in 1341,
was a popular manual for centuries, appearing in many editions
and variations. Tongue Reections in Cold Damage, rst published in
1668, developed the eld of diagnosis as a whole by adopting
the analysis of tongue color as its main principle. Both texts are
introduced with meticulous English translations and notes.
This seminal text will give practitioners and students of
Chinese medicine a sound understanding of the theory and
practice of tongue diagnosis from the early texts, and will be of
interest to academic readers of classic Chinese texts.
While in school, I assumed tongue diagnosis was as old as pulse taking.
Later, I learned it was developed by the warm-disease school of the Ming
and Qing dynasties. Wrong again! This book traces the true story of tongue
diagnosis. The translations and illustrations provide a clarity that seems to
be lacking in modern times.
- Lorraine Wilcox PhD, LAc, teaches, researches, translates,
and writes books on Chinese medicine, Los Angeles
Ioannis Solos lucid and cutting-edge scholarship gives us direct access
to the key classical literature on tongue diagnosis. Now, for the rst time
practitioners and scholars in the West can learn from the same sources as
colleagues in China and East Asia.

CHINESE MEDICINE
The Great Intent
Acupuncture Odes, Songs
and Rhymes
Richard Bertschinger
June 2013 224pp 9781848191327 pb $39.95
Songs and rhymes have been used by physicians for centuries
in China as a means of memorizing and passing on methods of
practice and behavior, moral attitudes, effective points, diagnostic
tips and rules of thumb. These poems offer a rich insight into
the life and thought of these skilled doctors, as well as practical
indications for treatment. Contemporary acupuncturists can see
from these poems the depths of the tradition, better understand
a breadth of diagnostic skills and treatment planning, and as a
result greatly improve their appreciation of intent within their own
practice.
This is the rst translation of these acupuncture odes,
songs and rhymes from the Great Compendium of Acupuncture and
Moxibustion compiled by the Chinese physician Yang Jizhou
during late Ming China. The book includes detailed introductions
that place the work in historical, cultural, and medical context, a
symptom index, a point index glossary and a list of helpful points
for common signs and symptoms encountered in acupuncture and
physiotherapy clinics. It also serves as a gentle introduction to the
philosophy behind acupuncture practice.

The Secret of Everlasting Life
The First Translation of the Ancient
Chinese Text on Immortality
2010 304pp 9781848190481 pb $24.95
The Secret of Everlasting Life is the rst translation from the Chinese
of the second-century Can Tong Qi. This ancient work, the earliest
known text on transformation and immortality, echoes the wisdom
and poetry of both the Tao Te Ching and I Ching. The Can Tong
Qi is also the ancestral text of all Qi Gong exercises in China.
This translation reveals for the rst time the meditation methods
practiced for thousands of years by Taoist sages.
Presented here with its original Chinese commentaries, the
Can Tong Qi is full of practical information and advice about the
process of human transformation and how to nurture and develop
the natural life-energy within us. Richard Bertschingers additional
commentary explains the intricacies of Chinese allegory and
symbolism for the Western reader.
This book is an insightful read for anyone interested in Taoist
thought, Chinese philosophy and culture, or Chinese medicine.

The art of connecting with, feeling and adjusting the energy body
using the consciousness is a key aspect of Nei Gong and Qi Gong.
It sits somewhere between Qi Gong, meditation and the lesser-
known art of Shen Gong, and although it is known in China it has
never before been written about in an accessible way in the West.
Damo Mitchell provides step-by-step instructions on how to
experience the various elements which make up the energy body,
explaining how to identify and feel these, and how to diagnose
imbalances and restore harmony. He describes the nature of the
ve elements, the meridians and the meridian points, inviting
the reader to experience them through guided internal exercises
using the body, breath and mind. Instructional drawings and
photographs are included throughout the book.
Connecting the fundamentals of Chinese medicine with the
lesser-known spiritual and esoteric aspects of practice, this book
will be of great interest to intermediate and advanced practitioners
of Qi Gong, Nei Gong, Taijiquan and Chinese medicine.
Damos explanations and insights are indispensable. Whether you
are just beginning your journey of personal development with an
interest inphilosophical and spiritual thought, or even if you are a
fully qualied practitioner of Chinese medicine, Heavenly Streams
will certainly enrich your practice.

Nei Gong has been a well-kept secret within the Daoist sects of
China for centuries. Based upon the original teachings of the great
sage Laozi, it has only ever been taught to close students of the
masters chosen as the heads of the ancient orders.
This book provides a breakdown of the entire Nei Gong
process, explains the underpinning philosophy, and contains an
entire set of Qigong exercises.
This book drills down into the golden core of the ancient Chinese art and
science of internal self-cultivation known as Chi Gung or energy work,
and after reading it, youll understand why Chi Gung is the best way on
earth to protect your health, prolong your life, and clarify your awareness.

QIGONG
Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong
Essential NeiGong for Health and Spiritual Transformation
Master Zhongxian Wu and Dr Karin Taylor Wu
2012 200pp 9781848191037 pb 15.99
Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong is a traditional Chinese internal
alchemy method that embodies the spirit of the rising dragon, an
auspicious symbol of transformation in Chinese culture. The form
works directly on the acupuncture meridians, releasing areas of
stagnation and bringing the physical and emotional body into a
balanced state of well-being.
This Qigong form implements special visualization and
breathing techniques in addition to movements that imitate sparks
arising from a bonre and swirling upward like a spiraling dragon.
Stoking our inner re melts away the ice, or the areas of blockage
and disease, opens our energetic pathways and allows the smooth
ow of Qi in our meridians. The Fire Dragon practice follows
the traditional internal alchemy process, where Jing (essence)
transforms to Qi (vital energy), Qi transforms to Shen (spirit), and
Shen returns to Emptiness. Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong is a key
Qigong form for those seeking healing from cancer and other
signicant health challenges, and is the practice the authors turned
to in order to transform the grief over their sons death.
The book provides background information and a detailed
description of the form itself, illustrated with calligraphy, meridian
drawings, and photographs throughout.

text that belongs on the bookshelves of everyone with an interest
in Taoist practice and meditation.
Master Yin Shi Zis book so enthralled me that I read it in a single sitting.
His training in classical Chinese medicine and as a professor of physiology
enables him to express both his own experiences and his guide to cultivating
a practice of these methods in a language easily comprehensible to the
modern reader. His book is a wonderful contribution to our understanding
of the nature of Taoist/Buddhist yoga, meditation, and inner science.

Written during the Tang dynasty, this unusual tantric guide
documents a sexual tantra that is thought to have been practiced
by kings for several dynasties, before losing favor to a more ascetic
approach to Taoism. According to legend, the author was last seen
on the edge of a precipice, clasping the book to his chest, and
proclaiming the sincerity of his practice.
Translated into English for the rst time, this illuminating text
carefully describes the methods of this sexual internal alchemy
practice, pursued strictly for the spiritual advancement of the
practitioner, and undertaken only once desire and attachment for a
consort had been overcome. Cloaked in metaphor, the techniques
and attendant virtues of the practice are presented in beautiful
poetry and prose, with explanatory commentaries throughout.
This is an important historical text that will provide a
fascinating insight into ancient tantric practices for anyone with
an interest in Taoism, Chinese history and philosophy, and tantra
or meditation practices.

medicine. He wrote Tranquil

Yijing, Shamanic Oracle of China
A New Book of Change
Translated with commentary by Richard Bertschinger
2011 336pp 9781848190832 hb $39.95
For 2,000 years the Yijing, or the Book of Change, has exercised
the best minds in the Orient. Richard Bertschinger has worked from
the classical commentaries to make an up-to-date translation for
the modern world. Marriage, business ventures, journeys, disputes,
world affairs, personal problems, health or money issues, all are
grist for the mill of the Book of Change. Through pondering the
poetry of lines and devoting ourselves to its meaning, the heart of
the ancients is clear. We pick up perhaps in a way we never could
have conceived of, how to guide and direct our lives.
With an introduction that explains the underlying structure
and philosophy of the Book of Change, as well as its history, and
a detailed explanation of how to throw the yarrow sticks, or the
coins, the novice reader is given everything they need to take
their rst steps in consulting the ancient oracle, and those already
familiar with established translations will nd this fresh translation
from the original texts clear and illuminating.

Jiangan - The Chinese Health Wand
Michael Davies
2011 176pp 9781848190771 pb $25.95
Long before Tai Chi and Qigong became household names in the
West, an American sailor visiting Shanghai discovered a gentle
Chinese exercise called Jiangan The Chinese Health Wand. This
exercise system is simple yet potent and involves the manipulation
of a lightweight pole traditionally made of bamboo.
Jiangan co-ordinates slow diaphragmatic breathing with
graduated stretching and strengthening exercises to promote
circulation and stimulate the cardiovascular system. This book
offers a concise practical guide to Jiangan exercises, providing
detailed instructions and illustrations while also exploring
the Chinese philosophy behind the art. Although a gentle and
meditative form of exercise, the book shows that Jiangan has
the muscle-toning and weight-loss potential of more robust gym
workouts and is an ideal daily exercise routine or warm-up for a
range of sports and martial arts classes.
This book will be a valuable resource for teachers and students
of Tai Chi and Qigong, as well as anyone looking for a simple and
effective way to improve health and tness using Eastern health
arts.
It is always refreshing to deal with a different and unusual approach to
Chinese hygienic exercise. Michaels knowledge of and skill in the mysteries
of Chinese Health Wand make him unique in the Tai Chi community. His
publishers are to be congratulated in making this rare material available to
the public.

Stand with your back to the mirror. The baby is still sitting
in your hands. Now turn your hips to the left so that the baby
can see into the mirror. Stay in this position for a moment.
Now turn to the other side, and then alternate sides a few
times.
On the diagonal
You are standing; babys back is snug against your tummy.
Clasp babys left hip with your right hand. Now twist to the
right, on the diagonal: your left foot rises onto the tips of
your toes as your left arm swings to the right. Repeat the
exercise on the opposite side. This stretches the muscles.
Sitting exercise
Kneel down and sit back on your heels. The baby is sitting
on your lap. Shift alternately down onto your right buttock,
then the left. The child comes too. Pause briefly each time
you shift weight. This practises lateral movement,
strengthens the muscles along the spine and improves your
gait.

1. Hello, sweetheart!
Lay the baby on her back. Place your hands, one
on top of the other, diagonally over the babys
chest. Apply gentle pressure in the direction of the
feet. Maintain eye contact and greet your baby
with a song or rhyme, or say the following verse:
Is the mouse in the house?
Here comes the mouse,
here comes the mouse,
tingalingaling.
Is [babys name] in the house?
The baby perks up, anticipating that you are about to pay
her a lot of attention.
2. Turning the baby onto her tummy
Place your right arm between the babys legs and
over her breastbone and tummy. With your left
hand, hold the childs right shoulder. Press gently
on the chest and tummy. With your left hand, turn
the baby very gradually sideways. If she raises her
head, turn her fully onto her side and finally onto
her tummy.
This promotes coordination and supports the
child in learning to turn over.

advice on reading a childs body language during massage, and
helpful progress checklists.

Massage techniques are widely and effectively used in treatment of
autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) to address sensory issues, motor
problems and touch receptivity. However, the variety of different
styles of massage available often leaves parents bafed and unsure
about which touch therapy treatment is best for their child.
This practical guide explains how massage works, how the
body senses touch, and how touch therapy can benet children
with ASDs. The book goes on to describe exactly what each type
of massage entails and covers anatomy-oriented massages, energy-
based massages and therapeutic bodywork, helping readers to tell
Reiki from reexology, a Swedish from a sports massage, or tuina
from a Thai massage. With recommendations for selecting the
right style of massage, advice on locating a practitioner, and tips
on preparing a child with an ASD for massage, this book is the
perfect resource to nd a therapy or combination of therapies
to suit the individual needs of each child.
This book will be essential reading for all parents and caregivers
interested in the benets of therapeutic massage and bodywork for
children and adolescents with ASDs, and practitioners looking at
alternatives for therapeutic intervention.

Freeing Emotions and Energy
Through Myofascial Release
Noah Karrasch
Foreword by C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD
2012 224pp 9781848190856 pb $39.95
Too many of us hold our physical, mental and emotional pain
within our bodies, where it slows energy, manifests as tension and
can have a damaging impact upon our health. In his new book,
Noah Karrasch shows that wellbeing and healing come from the
detangling of blocked emotions and the restoration of the free
ow of energy through the body.
Written for bodywork and manual therapy practitioners from
a wide variety of disciplines, as well as other healers who want
to expand their skills, this generously illustrated book explains
how and where emotions and static energy are held in the body,
and how they can be released and rebalanced in therapies that
challenge bodymindcore awareness. It includes many new ideas
and techniques: useful conversation starters to help practitioners
encourage clients to self-identify their challenges, detailed
explanations of myofascial release techniques and self-reective
exercises designed to rst help the practitioner truly understand
the process for him or herself, through his or her own body, in
order to become a more empathetic and effective therapist.
An immensely valuable book for everyone who wants to be alive, fully alive.
It is a practical guide to health and emotional freedom, integrating models
from East and West into an empowering vision of how free and unblocked
we can be, if only we dare to.

CORE Bodywork and Rolng Tools
to Release Bodymindcore Trauma
Noah Karrasch
Illustrated by Lovella Lindsey Norrell
2009 184pp 9781848190160 pb $18.95
Based on the idea that the body is composed of twenty-one
important hinges, Meet Your Body shows how we can oil and free
these hinges, stretching the body out so we can feel healthy and
happy more of the time. Noahs therapeutic work is inuenced
by his background in Rolng, a hands-on manipulation of the
bodys connective tissue designed to enhance posture and freedom
of movement. From this theory of structural integration, Karrasch
has developed a focus on the inseparable connection between our
minds and our bodies, our bodymindcore. Guiding the reader
through the various hinges of the body, from the big toe to the hip
to the head, the author shows how learning to isolate and stretch
these hinges in new ways can lead to a happy bodymindcore,
making a great difference to overall health and wellbeing.
This book offers people with both ordinary and extraordinary
body challenges new ideas for how they can make changes in the
way their bodies work for them.

A Handbook for Therapists and Counsellors

Complementary therapists are seldom trained in the people skills
necessary for working with their clients. This practical guide
provides the key elements of the psychotherapeutic relationship
for people working in non-verbal modalities.
The book provides information and exercises to help
practitioners improve their style of interacting with clients by
setting clear boundaries, having a dened contract with them,
communicating effectively and being a good listener, among
other things. Drawn from experience both as a practitioner and
as a client in a range of therapeutic contexts, Su Fox also uses
illustrative case studies to offer strategies for managing difcult
clients and for working through the difcult feelings one may
experience with other clients.
This much needed book lls a gap. It is a primer to the pychotherapeutic
appreciation of relationship, an understading that is often omitted from

sound of the didgeridoo as it has never before been heard, in three
original compositions, based on the Mayan calendar. Using the
Traditional Chinese Medicine principle that degeneration in the
physical body is caused by imbalance and functional disharmony
within the energy system, the sound vibrations work to connect
with the human bodys natural energy vibrations, in order to
rebalance and restore their functional harmony and imbue the
listener with a renewed sense of lightness and freedom.
These soothing sounds should be experienced by anyone
interested in music as a therapeutic tool, and are especially effective
for those suffering from emotional or mental stress, sleep problems
and disorders of the nervous system, digestive organs or the heart.
