I discovered this download whilst on Twitter this morning, as recommended by ‘London Shiatsu’.
Here’s a brief overview from the author:
“Modern Western medicine, with its reliance on surgery, strong drugs, and advanced technology, can be dramatically effective. Emerging technologies, like genomics and proteomics, offer the possibility of effective treatment for major diseases in narrowly specific circumstances.
But high-tech medicine has failed to solve the greatest problem confronting it: the growing late twentieth-century plague of chronic, debilitating diseases. These diseases are not immediately life threatening, but they destroy quality of life and cause great suffering. I believe Tao Shiatsu, the medicine of ki, is responding and adapting to these changes in illness. The dawn of its spiritual culture can already be glimpsed. I believe the sunrise of the human heart is on the horizon.
This book is an attempt to explain what the ki world is like, how it works and what kind of heart makes it possible to see ki and enter into this world. Much has been written about ki, but usually from an occult angle, or based on analyses of ancient Oriental medical classics. This book is the story of my personal and clinical experience with ki over the last quarter century.

This is an email which I just received about the podcast news:
“New Rootdown.us podcasts now available on iTunes!
We are excited to announce the launch of our
Rootdown Podcast series, now available for free download on iTunes* and soon available on Rootdown.us.
The podcasts are a combination of segments from
CEU courses available at Rootdown.us, as well as short pieces from Rootdown members on their perspectives of Chinese Medicine. Our goal is to increase the dialogue within our field, to share something with students who may not have the financial ability to purchase full courses, and to introduce the general public to interesting aspects of the field.
Do you have a perspective you’d like to share?
Contact us and share your thoughts with the Rootdown.us community and beyond! We’d love to talk with you about how we can include your voice as part of the Rootdown Podcast Series.
The first three podcasts we have released are:
“The Five Elements” excerpted from Dr. Mark Grossman and Andy Rosenfarb’s class Healing your Eyes with Chinese Medicine, Part 1.
“Hips and Legs Sequence” excerpted from Dr. Pamela Maloney’s class Structural Integration: In the flow of Qi, Phase One. “
