Book Review 书评Book Review: Heavenly Streams:Meridian Theory in Nei Gongby Damo MitchellReview by Marty EisenThe title “Heavenly Streams” refers tothe Meridians which contain streamsof heavenly energy. This book shouldbe studied by students and practitionersof Chinese internal martial arts,Chinese medicine, and all others usingMeridians in their practices.Most people, even after years of studyand memorization of the Meridians,are still dissatisfied because they cannotfeel, sense or see the Meridians in themselves or others.Also, there is no modern scientific device for visualizingthem. This is one of the few books that gives a Qigongpractice which allows you to feel or sense your own Meridiansand Acupoints. It also teaches you how to inject Qiinto Acupoints.This last procedure will help acupuncturists to improvetheir treatment. It also paves the way for “needleless acupuncture.”How this Qigong method is used to treat variousChinese disease patterns is also described.Being able to sense or feel your own Meridians woulddispel the nagging doubt about their existence and lendcredence to one the historical ideas that the Meridianswere discovered through meditation.Marty Eisen, PhD, a retired scientist, who constructedmathematical models in medicine. Hehas studied and taught Yoga, Judo, ShotokanKarate, Aikido, Qigong, Praying Mantis KungFu, and Tai Chi. Dr. Eisen studied ChineseMedicine through apprenticeships and correspondencecourses . His latest project is to help arrangefree courses for veterans in Chow Qigong for health or as avocation - see http://eastwestqi.com/.

Featured Article 精选文章Chopping Your Food While Using Tai Chi:Rooting, Alignment and Attentivenessby Raven CohanAny mundane routine requires alignment. Thosewho study tai chi/taiji and chi kung/qigong and/or the more internal counterpart, called neigung,can discover many things along the path that isyour Tao. You begin to notice that you are not inyour best learned alignment when doing yourdaily life performances of routinethings. It becomes ablessing when you begin applyinga better posture to everythingyou have previouslydone via an automatic pilottype of regimentation whichmay well be cluttered withstray and distracting thoughtsand actions.Cooking for others andyourself is a gift you are givingto the food itself as well asthose who will eat it. The eatingof it will offer to you morehealth benefits by improvingthe food preparer’s attitudeand posture. That will continueinto the cooking. Thefood may not be genuinelyalive in the sense that wethink of when it is no longerThe author reminds you that this pose shows a left push which is adapted as acutting hand and right handed ward off hand which is now holding the food tobe cut. Please use your imagination.rooted into Mother Earth.There remains a soul naturethat the plant world maintains.Some believe in it while others do not, (justas some believe that a part of a human continuesafter we die. Others do not.). This article is not intendedto judge the right or wrong of one side ofthis opinion. However, some of those who studyTao speak of the part of the soul that “lives” in theLiver organ. It is known as the ‘hun’ soul, whilethe part of the soul that does not “continue,” livesin the Lungs and is known as the ‘po’ soul. The authorhas experienced this understandingfrom a connectionto spirit she has longbeen in touch with sincechildhood. Perhaps if youdon’t resonate to that idea,you might still improve sometechniques for cooking.When one begins respectinglife, whether it is human,animal, vegetable, and evenmineral… one has an attitudeof gratitude that can enhanceyour existence. When you arecooking attentively and thinkingof the food in a gratefulway, the author is of the opinionthat the meal comes outtasting better and benefitingthe body in a way that youbecome more sensitive towardand more easily notice.The author herself hasbeen a person (and can stillrevert to one) who curseswhen things go wrong. Chopping food requires agreat deal of attention. That attention can be madeJune-July 2013 Yang-Sheng (Nurturing Life) 33
