Review
"Five Elements, Six Conditions is a much-needed tool for practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai-Chi Ch’uan, and Chi-Kung. It will help them greatly in understanding the principles of Taoist internal alchemy and its modern applications. Thanks to Gilles Marin, a nearly extinct esoteric practice from the Far East has the chance of becoming an important healing discipline, helping readers to step into the mysterious world of healing, and creating a better and gentler world for future generations.”

Product Description
Taoism and the use of the five elemental forces of nature for healing, says Gilles Marin, are esoteric, understandable only through daily experience with a knowledgeable mentor. Marin’s 25 years of clinical practice teaching the ancient Taoist method of Chi Nei Tsang, which uses hands-on techniques and Taoist meditations to help clients heal, uniquely qualifies him for the task. Five Elements, Six Conditions shows how simple and practical the ancient Taoist healing principles are and how effectively they deepen all methods of healing, including modern medical approaches. Step-by-step, he shows how to work with instead of against the body, whereby healing becomes not only possible but inevitable. His clear language, along with color-coded maps and diagrams, enables readers to understand the alchemical principles formed and refined over hundreds of years. Each chapter includes specific exercises and meditations to help anyone integrate the essence of the teaching and develop at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

This review is from: Five Elements, Six Conditions: A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology, and Internal Alchemy (Paperback)
I found it refreshing and compelling to read about 5 element theory from such a holistic perspective. This book combines 5 element theory with chi kung pratices and meditations as well as creative truisms about the 6 conditions of healing. In addition, Gilles explains the correlations between different areas of the body and emotional patterns. He writes in a way that one can learn interesting, practical information without having to try too hard to understand. The practices included in this book are rare treasures. I highly recommend this book for any who is wanting more self awareness.Sharon Esdale, LAc, OMD

Very easy to understand....., Jan 11 2009
By V. Sherrington - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five Elements, Six Conditions: A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology, and Internal Alchemy (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction into emotional healing and it's association with the different parts of your body, with great emphasis on the digestive system and "digesting" emotions. It helps you understand your body from the inside out and the effects of stress, negative energy, bad eating habits, etc. Designed like a workbook, with informative diagrams and helpful breathing and meditation exercises.

Five Elements, Six Conditions, Feb 4 2011

This review is from: Five Elements, Six Conditions: A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology, and Internal Alchemy (Paperback)
Five Elements, Six Conditions: A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology, and Internal Alchemy Gilles Marin the author of this book knows what he is talking about. His format is well laid out and the progression of the book is logical. There are many beautiful charts and visual guides throughout the book. At no point does Mr. Marin come from his ego--he always stays true to the subject and presents the material in a compassionate manner. Although, the book is recommended for practitioners of Chinese Medicine I think it can be of great help to the lay person that is seeking to have a deeper understanding of what has caused disease in them and methods that could be used to help them truly heal. Hopefully this would give them the discernment needed to find a professional that could help them facilitate true healing versus one that would just apply another bandage.
