    About this ebook

    The purpose of this book is to encourage and support the process of bringing more stillness, gentleness, and healing into your daily life. Most of us live in a very busy and hectic world; even our 'time out' periods are often filled with more 'doing' than 'being.' This book uses the theory of Yin and Yang to explain a way to 'be' in this world with more ease and grace.

    It also explores WHY we must learn to respect and syncronize lifestyles with yin and yang for the benefit of our mental and physical health.

    It provides a list of practical ways to bring more peace into our daily lives by exploring

    - Meditation
    - Gentle yoga
    - Yoga Nidra
    - Acupuncture
    - Bodywork
    - Breathe Awareness

    If you're struggling to find peace in your life or have a hard time just relaxing then, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of this book.

    Michael Hetherington

    Michael Hetherington L.Ac, BHlthSci, is a qualified acupuncturist, Oriental medicine teacher, and yoga teacher based in Brisbane, Australia. He has been practicing yoga since 2000 and working with Chinese medicine since 2004. He has a keen interest in mind-body medicine, energetic anatomy, nutrition and herbs, yoga nidra and Buddhist style meditation. Michael was always attracted to eastern philosophy and it was this interest that drew him to the teachings and practices of yoga and Oriental medicine at a young age. After traveling to China to teach English for a year, he returned to Australia in 2004 to begin studying Chinese medicine, remedial massage and practicing oki-do (Japanese yoga) and hatha yoga more seriously. He regularly hosts workshops and develops short courses on topics related to self health care, yoga and meditation. www.michaelhetherington.com.au
