Publisher's Synopsis
"Gateway to Wisdom" is essentially a manual of contemplative yogas and healing practices, adapted from Chinese and Tibetan teachings, for the use of Western mediators who have not got access to qualified masters.;The emphasis is not on theory but on things to do, such as yogic breathing, various kinds of meditation, "I Ching" divination, healing and a number of supportive practices, for example writing Taoist verse and discovering beauty in unpromising surroundings. The aims include increasing an individual's potential for a joyous carefree life, attaining states of expanded consciousness, opening the mind to the influence of intuitive wisdom and achieving a greater degree of sympathy and compassion for the natural environment and all living beings.
