Emotional Wisdom: Daily Tools for Transforming Anger, Depression, and Fear

A groundbreaking book, Emotional Wisdom reveals powerful ancient tools for transforming our painful emotions into happiness and health. So-called negative emotions are valuable messages that let us know we are out of balance. With compassion and humor, Taoist authors Mantak Chia and Dena Saxer explain the messages that anger, depression, fear, worry, and stress offer us. They present three easy-to-learn twenty-minute internal energy practices, with helpful illustrations, to turn these imbalances into harmony and joy. They provide unusual nutritional advice for emotional healing and a Taoist First Aid section with proven natural remedies for minor ailments such as insomnia, indigestion, headaches, and overeating. Relevant quotes from the Tao Te Ching add inspiration to this practical, life-changing book.

The author of dozens of books, Mantak Chia has taught tens of thousands of students the Taoist internal energy practices over the past forty-five years. His Universal Healing Tao System, which distills these ancient practices for Western audiences, is taught by more than 1,200 certified instructors on every continent. He teaches worldwide and lives in Thailand.

Dena Saxer, MA, has been teaching the Universal Healing Tao System internationally for twenty-six years. With Mantak Chia, she cowrote Taoist Ways to Transform Stress into Vitality and Chi Self-Massage. She lives in the Los Angeles area.
