WHAT IS YIN YANG? Learn to receive abundance from the universe with this first-ever guide explaining the Chinese concept of opposites in easy-to-understand terms and striking red-black illustrations.

Perfect for anyone interested in Daoism, alternative medicine, martial arts, and other Eastern fields of study!

The concept of yin yang can be found in some of the oldest writing in the world. It is fundamental to Chinese thought and the route to understanding most Chinese practices, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Daoism and feng shui. It also offers us ways of enhancing our own lives, establishing greater balance not only in our own environment but also in the wider world if we can work with other people to follow nature's flow.

Step by step, with plenty of helpful illustrations and graphics, this guide explores the history and changing uses of yin yang—not forgetting the pronunciation and spelling (why yinyang is actually better than yin yang). The book also makes suggestions for working with yin yang, from observing the landscape to get a sense of the ebb and flow of energy through the world, to studying the patterns of nature in order to take what you need but not too much, to approaching sex as a cosmic ritual. Readers will understand how to position themselves so that yin yang fills their lives with abundance—how to be in the right place at the right time.
Antony Cummins is the author of The Ultimate Art of War and many other books on Eastern martial culture. He is the founder of the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team, which has previously translated The Book of Ninja and The Book of Samurai series. Antony also works as a consultant and co-presenter on high-end documentaries on Japan that are distributed by National Geographic, and is the Official Tourism Ambassador for Wakayama. He has been recognised by peers as a leading expert in the discovery of military arts of medieval Japan. Find out more at: www.natori.co.uk
