Taoism for Beginners

"""Taoism for Beginners is a clear and comprehensive guide to Taoism in its many facets: worldview, devotion, and health practices. It covers all the basic information needed to get a good grip on what this powerful yet elusive Eastern teaching is all about, its many inserts on practice making it real in a hands-on way! Highly recommended."" --Livia Kohn, Boston University ""Taoism for Beginners is a wonderful guide for how to embody the ancient teachings of the Tao. The practical exercises included throughout the book help make Taoism relevant for modern times. Highly recommended for both teachers and practitioners."" --Cynthia Ghiron, MA, Jin Shin Jyutsu & Reiki at cynthiaghiron.com and producer of Tai Chi: The Golden Flower ""In this book, Elizabeth offers a wide range of valuable information that is both practical and inspiring. It is a great read and an important resource--especially during these difficult times!"" --Carolyn Bucey Eberle, LPC, Spiritual Teacher, www.bekindtoyourhuman.com ""This book is long overdue--we have needed it for a long time. Elizabeth Reninger gives a complete and comprehensive overview of a difficult to describe subject, with a concise clarity that perhaps only a poet could achieve. Many people have attempted this before; she has succeeded in the best way I have seen after 50+ years of reading. This book is destined to become a classic reference book on Taoism."" --James MacRitchie, author, teacher and founding president of the National Qigong Association, USA"
