by Dr. Steven Liu and Jonathan Blank
Dragon Gate Taoism, a 700-year-old tradition that incorporates Buddhist and Confucian teachings, revolves around the concept of alchemy. Not the turning of straw into gold but rather the turning of the physical body into a spiritual force.
In addition to lessons, this book outlines 72 specific practices to help readers work toward spiritual alchemy. From simple breathing exercises, which make you feel healthier and more alive to advanced sexual yoga, the book is the key to your unique path to health, wealth and spiritual fulfillment.
The Dragon Gate School is known for its singular combination of sexual yoga and dream yoga practices; mystical divination methods for choosing a wise and fruitful path; chi gung and martial arts practices for health and longevity; and profound philosophy, based on the I Ching (Book of Changes) and the five elements that provide a deep insight into the nature of reality.
The authors also show you how to incorporate the mysterious and ancient wisdom of the Dragon Gate School into your daily life, and find answers of how to live a long, prosperous and happy life.
