|  | Something Beautiful
Everyday a young girl is disheartened by the things in her neighborhood: the trash on the streets, the graffiti on the walls, and the homeless woman that sleeps in a box. When she learns the word beautiful at school, she sets out to find something beautiful in her surroundings. In her search, this little girl learns to see beyond the barren ugliness of her environment to find beauty in her friendships, her family, and herself.

 | Chi Kung Meditations by Beth Quist, Ken Cohen
Seven advanced visualizations utilize ancient Taoist imagery to build self-awareness, unity of mind & body, & ultimately: enlightenment. While healing with imagery is relatively new to the West, its use in China dates back to Taoist texts from the 3rd century BC. We learn that these healing techniques induce what modern brain researchers call an alpha-theta state, where the unconscious comes to consciousness, & the mind reaches a blissful clarity. Ken Cohen gives exact instructions on correct postures, breathing, attunement to nature, mental states, & flow of internal energy AUTHOR: Beth Quist, Ken Cohen
