Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies: Psychology & Chinese Medicine (Revised Edition)Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality. In this comprehensive and ground breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healers

Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one.

Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.

perfect for tiny breeds!
Color: Blue
this toy is the perfect size for my mini dauchshund mix puppy. I looked in several pet stores for a tug of war rope for something for my little two pound pup that wasn't my socks for him to tug on. so many rope toys are aimed for large breeds, and were larger than my dog himself

Cute size but didn’t last
Color: Blue
I love Kong toys. I bought for my two puppies. One is already broke. But still works like a good tug of war rope with a bonus chew bone.

End of rope your dog or puppy can get the sting in it's mouth
Color: Blue
My puppy loves this toy ,but she can pull the string fiber off the rope so you have to watch that they don't eat the string. Wish the rope was made different with a hard knot at the ends. But my puppy loves the toy .I will just fix the end myself.
