Book excerpt: From the authors of the bestselling ChiRunning comes a revolutionary program that blends the health benefits of walking with the core principles of T’ai Chi to deliver maximum physical, mental, and spiritual fitness. The low-impact health benefits of walking have made it one of the most popular forms of daily exercise. Yet few people experience all the benefits that walking can offer. In ChiWalking, Danny and Katherine Dreyer, well-known walking and running coaches, teach the walking technique they created that transforms walking from a mundane means of locomotion into an intensely rewarding practice that enhances mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Similar to Pilates, yoga, and T’ai Chi, ChiWalking emphasizes body alignment and mindfulness while strengthening the core muscles of the body. The five mindful steps of the ChiWalking program will get anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, into great shape from head to toe, inside and out. 1. Get aligned. Develop great posture and better balance. 2. Engage your core. Make back and knee pain disappear. 3. Create balance. Walk faster, farther, and with less effort. 4. Make a choice. Choose from a menu of twelve great walks such as the Cardio Walk, the Energizing Walk, or the Walking Meditation, to keep your exercise program fresh. 5. Move forward. Make walking any distance a mindful, enjoyable experience, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned walker.

Book Synopsis A Tattoo on my Brain by : Daniel Gibbs
Download or read book A Tattoo on my Brain written by Daniel Gibbs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with Alzheimer's, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect he had Alzheimer's several years before any official diagnosis could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer's. Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an optimistic tale of one man's journey with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Soon to be a documentary film on MTV/Paramount +.

Tara also offers up both a 7-day jumpstart and a 30-day program to help readers bring yoga—and its varied benefits—easily into their lives."My goal is to help you feel connected and gain strength, calm, clarity, and ease from the inside out. Get ready to feel amazing, and enjoy the ride!" —Tara

Book Synopsis The Sunset Limited by : Cormac McCarthy
Download or read book The Sunset Limited written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted play from the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page' – Financial Times A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment the two men, known as 'Black' and 'White', begin a conversatino that leads each back through his own history. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con in recovery for drug addiction, is the more hopeful of the men. He is, however, desperate to convince White of the power of faith – while White is desperate to deny it. Between them, they hope to discover the meaning of life itself. Praise for Cormac McCarthy: ‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series '[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain

Download or read book Australia Dreaming written by Elva Arthy and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia Dreaming is a valuable resource for all involved in teaching and learning Tai Chi for Health. As the language of Tai Chi for the beginning student is daunting, the book aims to de-mystify and empower the student to understand the generative power of yin-yang theory in relation to a ¿safe, secular and scientific¿ and modern approach to exercise, health and well-being. This is an advanced level ¿train-the-trainer¿ textbook using modern teaching techniques where the focus is on learning to teach Tai Chi for Health as a safe and effective form of exercise in accordance with evidence based, secular and scientific reasoning and a curriculum graded from beginners to advanced levels of expertise. The idea of a curriculum is not about grading the Tai Chi student, but about developing levels of expertise and competence for teaching consistent with modern ethical and legal duty-of-care requirements and with modern pedagogic principles which demand transparent access to training based on academic standards and merit. The approach is represented in the modern teaching dynamics first pioneered in the Asian martial arts by Professor Jigoro Kano and Master Sun Lutang. The book includes an in-depth study of the Sun style Tai Chi showing how to modify the form to be suitable for a wide range of people and details of the Australia Dreaming Qigong set first performed by Elva in 2003. Included in the book are beautiful coloured drawings depicting the Australian landscape specially created by the internationally recognised Australian Wildlife Artist, Gail Higgins.
