The Do-In Way: Gentle Exercises to Liberate the Body, Mind, and Spirit

By Michio Kushi

Dō-In is an ancient traditional exercise for the cultivation of physical health, mental serenity, and spirituality. Over the last 5,000 years, it has served as the origin of such well-known disciplines as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation. Literally meaning to pull and stretch, Dō-In originated as a way of achieving longevity and attaining the highest potential of mental and spiritual development.

Dō-In techniques are a series of motions designed to harmonize body systems. The Dō-In Way details the fundamental aspects of this exercise, which involves breathing, posture, and self-massage and manipulation to stimulate body systems. The gentle application of pressure on the body's meridians corresponds with physical processes, and allows for the conditioning of internal organs. This is a comprehensive handbook to an ancient system of movement designed to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health.

mr

Very good for back. The morning exercises are for my back. The night exercises stop insomnia.

Very good book

The book was all I have expected. Beside the theory and photos of th do-in practice, there is a first half of the book dedicated to the fundamentals of macrobiotics, breathing exercises, basic diagnostic,etc. the only thing I didn like so much was th quality of the photos: they seem like they were taken in the 1970's!!!
