Everybody wants a long life full of vitality. But beyond the basics of good diet and exercise, what can you do to achieve it? For more than 2,000 years, Chinese energy medicine has refined the use of meditation to build the body’s qi, or life force. Now, a celebrated doctor of Chinese medicine and authority in the field of Taoist longevity medicine presents an indispensable resource for living a longer and richer life: Meditations to Live to Be 100. Join bestselling author Dr. Maoshing Ni as he guides you through the cornerstone practices for building vital life energy, including:
• Rejuvenating meditations for invoking longevity and drawing energy from the natural world
• Cleansing meditations for releasing corrosive emotions such as anger and stress — and protecting yourself from negativity in the environment
• Techniques for harmonizing your body’s organ networks through visualization, hand postures, and breath
• Lifestyle and diet tips to purge toxins from your body, overcome exhaustion, release energy blockages, and more
When Dr. Maoshing Ni interviewed centenarians who still lead active, fulfilling lives, he discovered a key trait they all have in common: a regular practice of physically rejuvenating meditation. “Your body is designed to last a hundred years,” he explains. “The secret is to live in harmony within your body and with the world around you.” On Meditations to Live to Be 100, he brings you essential practices for fueling yourself with the vital energy of qi — and having a vibrant life that lasts more than a century.
