Michio Kushi

The groundbreaking dietary program designed to help keep the heart healthy without drugs, surgery, or expensive treatments. Illustrated.

No matter where we live or what language we speak, food is an essential factor that shapes the way we think, feel, act, and respond to one another. In this milestone book, Michio Kushi presents his vision for building world peace through a sane way of eating. As the leader of the modern-day international macrobiotic movement, Michio has taught, lectured, written, and worked steadily to achieve his view of the future--a world in which all people can live in harmony with nature and with one another. In 1987, he launched his One Peaceful World society, a worldwide educational organization devoted to bringing about world peace through a new awareness of the links between food and the emotions, natural law, history, and international order. This book lays the foundation for One Peaceful World. It includes case studies throughout history in which macrobiotic diets relieved conflict and sickness. It traces the rise of the organic and natural foods industry, to which Kushi has been a notable contributor. It offers menus and recipes, reference sources, and a wealth of information that point the way to a new approach to diet and thought. And it recommends additional actions that we can take to bring unity to the world. The book is divided into four parts. In Part 1, Kushi details his early life in Japan during World War II, and his journey to macrobiotics under the guidance of George Ohsawa. Part 2 delves into the cosmological and universal concepts behind macrobiotics, including the importance of yin and yang. In Part 3, Kushi discusses the values that are essential to creating One Peaceful World in modern times. And in Part 4, the author looks forward to a new world government. One Peaceful World is an important and fascinating book for anyone committed to good health, whole foods, and world peace.

It then goes on to examine various foods and their healing properties as well as basic home remedies. Part Two details external home therapies and techniques--including over two hundred healing preparations. Illustrations are provided throughout this section.

Too often, conventional medicine fails to detect illness--especially when it first begins and is easiest to cure. But Oriental diagnosis, an ancient holistic system of knowledge, can often discover physical problems even before they arise. Now Your Body Never Lies helps you both understand and use this natural, noninvasive approach to restoring good health. Your Body Never Lies starts by explaining the principles of Oriental medicine. It then shows you how to detect and understand health problems simply by looking at the mouth, lips, and teeth; eyes; nose, cheeks, and ears; forehead; hair; hands; feet; and skin. Clear diagrams and easy-to-use charts assist you in quickly recognizing signs of illness so that you can begin working toward a state of balanced well-being. Here is a complete guide to Oriental diagnosis, a revolutionary yet centuries-old way to preserve health and harmony.

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.

The third edition of the "bible" of the macrobiotic movement. Originally published in 1985, The Macrobiotic Way is a classic in its field. It is the definitive guide to macrobiotics, an approach to diet and lifestyle that promotes both inner peace and harmony with others and the environment. Now updated, it covers not only the central dietary principles, nutrition, and foods but also cooking techniques, essentials for a macrobiotic kitchen, menus and recipes, along with exercise, life philosophy, home and lifestyle, and the role of macrobiotics in healing.

DO-IN ist eine der althergebrachten traditionellen fernöstlichen Methoden zur Entwicklung und Erhaltung von körperlicher Gesundheit, psychischer Ausgeglichenheit und geistigem Wachstum. * DO-IN hat seinen Ursprung in dem vor unbekannter Zeit entstandenen "Shin-Sen-Do" als einem Weg der Gesundheit und Langlebigkeit sowie der seelisch-geistigen Entwicklung. Shin-Sen-Do ist die Methode, die größtmögliche Befähigung herauszubilden, ein freier Mensch zu werden, der sich von allen relativen, begrifflichen Verhaftungen losgelöst hat, die da wären körperliche Krankheit, psychische Frustration und Konfusion und intellektuelle und soziale Irrungen und Wirrungen. * DO-IN besteht aus einer Vielfalt von Übungen: Selbstmassagepraktiken, Atemtechniken, Summen von Vibrationslauten, Gymnastik, Meditation, Akupressur und yogaähnliche Übungen. Die Ausführung ist in den verschiedensten Kombinationen und Reihenfolgen möglich, von jedem allein ohne Hilfe eines Partners und mit spürbarer Wirkung. * DO-IN lenkt alle äußeren Lebensenergien in unser körperliches und spirituelles Selbst. D.h. DO-IN schafft die Einheit zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Welt. * Die Bewegungen im DO-IN sind einfach und natürlich. Während wir üben, sollte unser ganzer DO-IN-Bewegungsablauf Teil der Bewegung des Universums sein. * Aus dem DO-IN haben sich in den letzten 5000 Jahren Shiatsu, Akupunktur, Moxabehandlung, Yogaübungen und verschiedene Meditationstypen entwickelt und in viele Verzweigungen spezialisiert. * Die Bandbreite des DO-IN, die jeder einzelne in seiner Familie praktizieren kann, wird von großem Nutzen sein für Gesundheit, Glück und Freiheit der Menschheit - selbstredend ein Beitrag zu der natürlichen Entwicklung hin zu der Einen Friedlichen Welt.
