In the tradition of Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil, who have heightened our awareness of non-western healing methods, Dr. Hong Liu, a top cancer specialist, trained in both Western and Eastern medicine, brings us Mastering Miracles, a guide to Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese system used to balance the body's good and bad energies, a system that the National Institutes of Health is now seriously investigating.
Qi refers to the vital energy of the universe that runs through all of us. Western medicine has considered this an abstraction, but, for the Chinese, Qi is a reality on which many treatments, such as acupuncture, are based. Liu's 20 years of training as a Qi Gong master and his extraordinary experiences make up the first section of the book, while the second teaches a basic program of specific Qi Gong exercises, herbal remedies, and nutrition, a program that aims at making you responsible for your own medical destiny.
Mastering Miracles was written with Paul Perry, a science journalist, and read by Roger Dressler.
