## Overview

Five Elements, Six Conditions by Gilles Marin distills 25 years of clinical Taoist healing into a practical guide featuring hands-on techniques, meditations, and vivid visual aids. This book bridges ancient internal alchemy with modern psychology, empowering readers to achieve deep emotional and physical healing through accessible, step-by-step practices.

## 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.

Review: Lovely and purely explaining!! - I absolutely loved the book. I had very high expectations and when I recieve it my first response was 'is that it?' This was until I started reading the book. Reading the book, I saw that it was a lot. It has a very nice and pure explanations of the elements and everything. It gives the basic and most vital information. The language is beautiful. I enjoy it so much that it reminds me of the beautiful colorful primary school books and I summarize while reading. Even I make translations to my own language. I definitely recommend the book who are interested in the taoist elements and point of view. There are very very simple and effective meditatons in the book. I preferred to record them slowly then do the meditations listening those voice memo's. They really really are enjoyable. It clearly and basically explains a lot of the taoist point of view. I think that every individual sentence has a relevence. Nothing is unnecessarily or overwhelmingly explained. I loved the images and colorful stuff, too. I was interested in Feng Shui before and I am a yin yoga teacher. I enjoyed the way the elements and meridians were stated. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest on the subjects of healing, toaist perspective and meditation. If you have already read a lot on the subject it may be a little bit elementary but if you are mixed about all you have read it may help you rearrange everything in your mind and bring an ease of understanding. Sliming; happy and healthy days to all!! Namaste
Review: Five Elements, Six Conditions - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to digest
*by L***S on May 14, 2014*

I bought this book to learn more on my own, I am not a student or professional. There were some new perspectives I thoroughly enjoyed. The wording was easy to digest, and I would feel comfortable recommending this book to people who are skeptical on such things. It makes logical sense. I bought 4 more copies of the book to give as gifts. I believe this information can improve our daily lives.
