The Tao of Health Sex, & Longevity- A modern practical
guide to the ancient way, Daniel Reid.

This book is the 'Grand-Daddy' of all alternative health care books. Medicine Man considers Dan Reid as one of his most important teachers. In the opinion of Medicine Man there is no finer book for you to invest in.

"People are increasingly looking to alternatives to Western medicine.

Here is a unique, comprehensive and practical self-help guide to a balanced and positive lifestyle which is also a serious introduction to Taoism itself.

Tao, the most ancient and fundamental element in the world's oldest civilization, is as relevant to today's world as to classical China. For the contemporary reader, this readable and practical book is the first to explore, in the light of the findings of modern Western Science, the balanced and comprehensive system of health care used by Chinese physicians, martial artists and meditators for over 5,000 years.

Daniel Reid has combined his personal experience with original research and in an accessible informed and often anecdotal style he presents the issues and answers of practical concern to a Western audience.

The book covers every aspect of health with concise information on diet and nutrition, fasting and excretion, breathing and exercise, medicine, meditation and sexual yoga.

Preventative approaches for fighting off disease and debility and for achieving mental and physical harmony are emphasized. Detailed guidance is given on selecting proper foods, combining them correctly and on detoxifying your system. Breathing exercises and Chinese calisthenics are carefully explained and helpfully ILLUSTRATED, as are the Taoist bedroom arts.".... that's what the back cover of the book says...we say, this book serves as the basis for the transformation that has taken place in our personal lives and thousands of others that I have guided. I am forever grateful to Dan for writing this book.

The main sections in this book are the following: Diet and nutrition, fasting and excretion, breathing, exercise, Taoist healing arts, the Tao of Yin and Yang, ejaculation control, Taoist bedroom arts, historical perspectives on longevity, the Tao of nurturing life, sitting still and doing nothing. Great charts, tables, drawings and content in short.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche.

  I have read heaps of books on meditation and I have been to quite a few meditation retreats myself. Never have I been so moved and deeply aware of the true essence of the practices as from reading this book written by a living master & legend, Sogyal Rinpoche. Like Dan Reids books, this book is a bible. You buy it and reread it, many times. Click here to read a short excerpt from the book.

When asked "what is it I hope from this book? The Rinpoche answered "to inspire a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at death and care for the dying, and the whole way we look at life, and care for the living." Buddhist meditation master and popular international speaker Sogyal Rinpoche brings here together, for the first time, the majestic vision of life and death that underlies the Tibetan tradition- with modern research on death and dying.

"With refreshing clarity, humor, and contemporary awareness, the foremost interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist thought explores the importance of transforming our attitudes toward death so that we may live to learn. Inspired by the wisdom of never-before-translated Tibetan texts, yet grounded in modern scientific research, Sogyal reveals the benefits of viewing death as a new beginning rather than an end"....that's what Amazon.com synopsis says....we say, this is the best book we've ever read regarding how to live and what to anticipate when we die. Don't wait until its too late. Get it today.

You won't be afraid to die after reading this book. The sections on Karma, Karmalessness, and meditation are the finest discourses we've ever read. Furthermore, we say...this book should be required reading for all of humanity. The teachings here are true gems! Don't hesitate. DIRECT FROM AMAZON.COM.
