Synopsis "Cosmic Detox: A Taoist Approach to Internal Cleansing "

How to cleanse the nine openings of the body for detoxification and self-healing • Explains how to purify the body’s internal environment through mono diets, fasts, and colonic cleanses to prevent degenerative disease and premature aging • Presents a 14-day total-body cleansing guide • Includes chi self-massage and healing sound practices as well as natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes Long known by Taoist masters, the body has an innate ability to heal itself, an ability that is hampered by toxins in the food we ingest and energy blockages that arise from illnesses and obstacles in our lives. These blockages transform the body’s energy rivers into a polluted and stagnant swamp--the root of degenerative disease as well as premature aging. Revealing the detoxification and rejuvenation practices of the Taoist sages, Master Mantak Chia and William U. Wei show how to reactivate your body’s self-healing abilities by gradually and safely expelling accumulated toxins through fasting, mono diets, and cleansing the nine openings of the body. Using the practices of chi self-massage and healing sounds along with natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes for each of the openings and their related organs, the authors explain how to balance and purify the body’s internal environment through acid and alkaline foods, urine therapy, colonic cleanses, dry skin brushing, ear candling, and energized water. Concluding with a 14-day total-body cleansing program, Cosmic Detox offers tools to keep the energy rivers clean and flowing, preparing the body for higher level Taoist practices as well as enabling healing of our emotional and spiritual bodies.

Mantak Chia, born in 1944 in Thailand, is a renowned Taoist master, instructor, and writer specialized in internal energy practices and holistic well-being. From an early age, he studied Buddhist techniques and martial arts such as Muay Thai, tai chi chuan, and kung-fu. His training was enriched under the guidance of Yi Eng (White Cloud), a hermit from the Dragon's Gate sect of the Quanzhen Taoist school, who taught him a complete Taoist training system and authorized him to teach and heal. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying the theory of healing energy, Chia studied anatomy and Western medical science for two years.

Among his most notable works are Chi Self-Massage: the Taoist Way of Rejuvenation (1990), The Multi-Orgasmic Man: Sexual Secrets Every Man Should Know (1997), and Healing Light of the Tao: Foundational Practices to Awaken Chi Energy (2000). These books, focused on the development of internal energy and overall health, have been translated into several languages, including Spanish, and have contributed to the spread of Taoist practices in the West.
