This book is about the healing traditions in Bon Buddhist shamanism, tantra and dzogchen. Western-style psychology is one of Rinpoche's interests, and he has participated in annual panels on East-West psychology. Thus, he discusses Tibetan traditions in light of certain western psychological theory. If you read this book you will gain insight into "Tibetan yoga;" the tsa lung movements that open up the energy so that the breath flows freely in the body. (The book's discussion of psychology alone is worth taking the time to read.) It also focuses clearly and insightfully on the elements, and how elemental qualities manifest themselves in our lives. Rinpoche feels that through an increased awareness of the flow of these qualities, we can see a way to increased balance and peace in our lives on a very real and tangible level.
