A thousand years ago, a renowned Tibetan doctor and spiritual teacher, Yuthok Yonten Gonpo, created a unique path of healing and spirituality that combines Tantric Buddhist practices with the traditional Tibetan medical system. He designed this path for his time but even more for our time, as he foresaw a future when people with very full lives would need a clear and direct approach to physical and mental health as well as spiritual liberation. In Let Meditation be thy Medicine, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, a traditional Tibetan physician and lineage holder of Yuthok Y�nten Gonpo's teachings, presents this interconnected medical and spiritual path in a fresh and inviting way, welcoming new and experienced students and practitioners. In this book, you will learn your elemental type of wind, fire, or earth/water along with diet and lifestyle modifications for each type and which spiritual practices are most beneficial for each type. With his characteristic humor, clarity, and openness, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang can help you find a personal path back to your original and organic state- healthy, happy, content, and free.
