Tao of Addiction and Recovery: Chi Kung Practices for Restoring the Energy Flow in Mind and Body By Mantak Chia and Doug Hilton

Mantak Chia and Doug Hilton discuss addiction and recovery through Taoist ideas and Chi Kung practice. The Tao Te Ching, yin and yang, and the authors’ Emotional Recycling approach inform their account of habitual responses and difficult emotions.

The exercises are presented as complementary spiritual and body-based practices. They are not a substitute for addiction treatment, medical supervision or prescribed care, and should not be read as a proven way to prevent relapse.
