Michio KushiReseñas

Do-In is one of the ancient traditional self-exercises to develop physical health, mental serenity and spiritual heights. It has originated from the unknown age as a way of health and longevity as well as mental-spiritual develompent in Tao of Shin Sen. The Tao of Shin Sen is the way of developing humanity toward its highest possible ability to become free man who has released himself from all relative conceptual bindings,namely physical sickness, mental frustration and confusion, and intellectual and social delusion and chaos.

The meaning of Do-In in its terminology is, guiding of all external and envrionmental forces of life into our physical and spiritual self. In other words, Do-In is achieving oneness between the world without us and the world within us. The motions of Do-In are simple and natural. The techniques are intuitive and successive as a series of motions. When we exercise, our whole motion of Do-In should be a part of the movement of the universe..

Shiatsu massage, acupuncture, moxibustion, the exercises of yoga, and various meditations have been developed and differentiated into many branches out of Do-In for the recent 5,000 years. The spread of Do-In which can be practiced by every individual in every family, will be a great benefit for the health happiness and freedom of mankind, which naturally contrubutes to the natural development toward one peaceful world.

This book is the most definitive guide to macrobiotics, written by the world's foremost authority on the subject.

The author, at the vanguard of the holistic movement in this country, shows how the methods of Oriental diagnosis can be applied to detect many disorders which often go unnoticed by us and undetected through routine medical examination.

This book is excellent! It is based on ancient asian medical diagnosis techniques.It is simple to read and understand. It explains the areas of the body and the corresponding ailments. Very easy to use. Highly recommended.Why not prevent illness with early warning signs??

Discusses the importance of nutrition in child development, shows how to treat common childhood ailments, and provides recipes for healthful dishes

This book is a comprehensive guide to eating in the macrobiotic fashion for health and well being. Michio Kushi takes your hand and guides you effortlessly through the process of following a macrobiotic lifestyle and shows you what the principles are so that you can make intelligent and informed decisions about your health. He shows you how to prevent cancer through the use of proper food and eating.

Macrobiotics is the science of returning to nature, without all the fat and heavy sauces that we are so familiar with as Americans. Eating whole foods, drinking healing drinks and getting plenty of sunshine and walks helps your body to heal from whatever disease you may be facing including, but not limited to, cancer, heart disease, nervous disorders, just to name a few. This book is a nutritional bible to be read, understood, and followed.

This book, in conjunction with "Your Body Never Lies: The Complete Book of Oriental Diagnosis" are two very special books that help the novice in understanding the diseases that are making themselves known in their own, and other people's bodies. Clear and concise, this book reveals what our eyes say to the world. Many of us read the expressions that we see from day to day, or the way that our eyes are set, or our mouth appears, without realizing it. Michio Kushi has established a norm for us to understand our bodies, and faces better to diagnose incoming or set diseases in the body. This is a great book to have!

This amazing little book is filled to capacity with many insights into our health. By looking at the eyes and how they appear, the hands and which way the fingers tend to curve, all gives you answers as to what condition your body is in. This book is a must have for those macrobiotic counselors who read the body and what it's telling them about a patients health. I found this book to be helpful, easy to understand and diagnose from in my practice of holistic healing.

Simple exercises to do if you are on the macrobiotic diet. Cleansing the skin, and a series of tapping your body to awaken the "chi" within it is amazing! By lightly hitting your feet, legs torso and then the head, arms and chest, you awaken your body. It really does tingle when you're through. An excellent book to make you feel alive and well. This, along with the practice of deep breathing and gentle exercise helps to restore the body to balance.

This is an excellent book for those on the Macrobiotic Diet. Simple healing methods that work, time and time again. I have used this book religiously and found relief from sore feet, chest pains, and the ideas in here help with weight loss as well. Michio Kushi certainly knows his stuff.

Some of the remedies are not well explained, so if you have no background on Macrobiotic remedies, you may find yourself not understanding all of the recipes in here. On more than one occasion, I found recipes that didn't have exact measurements for ingredients. But, for the most part, Macrobiotic Home Remedies is a godsend for quick, easy healing preparations, from excessive bleeding to headache remedies.

I was looking for a simple way to explain me the Macrobiotic way of living and Michio Kushi won my choice. Mr Kushi keeps his lines very easy to follow him and the book also includes simple but delicious recipes. After having completed this reading, I went food shopping. All his theories makes sense to me.
