Customer Reviews

Makes a terrific gift for yourself or your close friends too !

One important thing that needs to be added to the previous reviewing (which is quite accurate) is that this little book is a treasure that will surprise everyone ; it includes short but clear advice for your daily life. It is not complicated and does make a lot of sense. Anyone who wants to learn more about what to do with oneself when things are going "wrong" needs to start somewhere, and this is "IT" -- no exaggeration. This is one book that you can buy for yourself and after you're done reading it, you get the immediate impulse to pass it along to your closest friends (and family !). You'll see, it gives you a good feeling, it is heart-warming and consoling where you expect least. The best of all is that it'll start you on new paths that you'll love. Enjoy the journey !

Great introduction to holistic living and healing

Skye Alexander has put together an accessible collection of lifestyle ideas and practical exercises that just about anyone could benefit from. "Fundamentally taking care of your chi involves caring for yourself on every level and following a lifestyle that promotes health and well-being - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually". The book serves as a good introduction to a large number of complementary and alternative therapies. The author draws on a great deal of experience in these areas, from yoga to Chinese medicine to astrology and many others. The first 3 chapters (part one) are an overview of what chi energy is and how we can work with it. The remaining 4 chapters consist of a large number of practical suggestions and exercises that can help individual healing. There are simple meditation and yoga exercises, herbal remedies, self-help ideas and affirmations for keeping a positive attitude to life. I have been practising many of the suggestions in this book for many years and can confirm that they really make a difference. However, I personally will not be taking too seriously Skye's recommended action to prevent chi energy from leaving your home - always keep the toilet lid closed!?
