About this ebook
After learning to stop and return to your center, it is time to take care, every day, of the home that that center inhabits: the body .
Shen's Bible 2 continues and deepens the path begun with the first volume. If the first book was the journey inward—to the discovery of the Shen and the Three Treasures ( Jing , Qi , and Shen ), of the Dantian and the art of Wu Wei , of the healing of the wounded Heart and the meditation of the Inner Smile—this second volume descends from the quiet of consciousness to the concreteness of everyday life .
It is a complete and gentle guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine : not an abstract treatise, but a practical compass to listen to yourself better and find energy, balance and natural well-being .
In this second volume you will find:
• The energy foundations: Qi , Yin and Yang , Blood and Body Fluids, or the "materials" of which, according to Chinese tradition, we are made.
• The body as a landscape: the organs and the Five Movements, and the profound connection between each organ, its emotions and its physical signals.
• The three pillars of vitality: digestion, sleep and energy, and why everything comes from balance and not from forcing.
• The art of observing yourself: what nervous hunger, bloating, tiredness and waking up at night at the same time tell you.
• The emotion-organ map: anger and Liver, joy and Heart, worry and Spleen, sadness and Lung, fear and Kidney.
• The morning routine to awaken Qi and evening rituals for a deep sleep.
• Acupressure: principles, safety and the 10 most useful points for the mind, anxiety, digestion, energy and relaxation.
• Energy-boosting nutrition and "pantry" according to the body's signals: choosing at the table without diets or restrictions.
• Exclusive insights: the seasons and Qi , the Chinese organ clock, gentle Qi Gong , herbal teas, and how to build your own personal practice. With a glossary and frequently asked questions.
Where the first volume cultivated silence and awareness, the second translates them into small, sustainable gestures : a deeper breath, a gently pressed point, a hot meal at the right time. Two books, one journey.
A manual for informative and educational purposes: a guide to well-being and self-knowledge, to be used alongside—but never as a substitute for—the care entrusted to your doctor.
Pick up the thread. Continue the journey toward balance.
