Product Description

Product Description

This volume is intended as an artwork in itself and an object of meditation. Based on a revered collection, long considered lost, of Tibetan "thangkas" - elaborate scroll paintings that portray a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices and ancient shamanic traditions - these works may still have much to teach us. Created by a traditional artist from Nepal, Romio Shrestha, using the ancient technique of painting with rich minerals such as powdered gold, and lapis lazuli, the works are intended for the minutest contemplation. Divided into sections illuminating the Tibetan Buddhist view of physiology, pathology, diagnosis and cure, the book demonstrates the processes that sustain, enhance and ultimately transform the life-force. It addresses contemporary ills, such as stress, allergies and heart disease, offering practical advice on treatment and prevention. Going beyond cure, a final section introduces more esoteric perspectives on the interaction of body and mind, presenting the body itself as a source of insight and revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone who is into healing, 21 Aug 2001
What a fascinating book and it looks great on my coffee table.

I am totally hooked on all aspects of natural healing and this book convinces me that we should all look towards natural medicine and healing techniques for a more fulfilling life.

Some of the pictures are astounding in their detail.

It is devoted to explaining centuries old paintings which show healing philosophies based on buddhist and other ancient healing practices.

It is unputdownable! Some days I just look at the pictures because there is always something new to see. Some days I sit down and read one chapter.

Even if you're not really into healing it gives ancient insights into modern day ailments and stresses - with interesting ideas and remedies.

A brilliant coffee table book, but one that your friends will pick up and want to take home with them.

I'm going to order one for my friend for christmas!

Having studied biomedicine and (neuro)art history i find the concept of healing art very interesting. I have owned this book since 1997 and I love this philosophy of medicine and art.
