The Healer Within: Using Traditional Chinese Techniques To Release Your Body's Own Medicine, Movement, Massage, Meditation, Breathing Paperback – Illustrated, December 15, 1998

There's no question that Jahnke's book can be beneficial to anyone. So many easy exercises are described in the book, including breathing exercises, meditation,visualization, self-healing, and Qigong movements. I especially enjoy doing the flowing motion exercise. Jahnke states that the Chinese people say if you do this exercise 100 times a day you will be healthy for a long time. I enjoy doing it daily. It's fun and I feel I'm really improving my health. I also enjoyed the reflexology described in the book. I enjoy massaging the hands and feet. Certain areas on the hands and feet respond to different organs in the body. He also speaks of the importance of laughter in the healing process. He explains how the Cancer Recovery Society in Shanghai makes laughter top priority in social oncology. Yes, laughter certainly is good medicine and it is reinforced in this book. The book provides examples of ill people who have used various healing methods described in "The Healer Within," and how they benefited from them. Mind/Body Medicine is something we should all be aware of and practice to stay well and live longer. I found this book to be a "gem" and often refer to it. It is filled with wisdom, health benefits and a wealth of healthy exercises. I highly recommend this book!Nancy A. Draper (Author) A Burden of Silence: My Mother's Battle with AIDS

This book is filled with life enriching health benefits to be practiced

Wonderful book full of ideas and suggestions on how to heal yourself, with or without a doctor. I find it easier to see a Naturopathic Doctor in addition to reading books like this. I actually felt better with less pain in 2 days, but only if I continue the easy to follow exercises. The hardest part is making time to continue the practice.... Well worth it.By accident I discovered that by tapping & massaging the face & eyes at specified points I helped my eyes to feel much better. My vision is about the same but I can tell my eye health (i.e. night vision, light sensitivity, posterior vitreous detachment, etc.) is vastly improved. I was very surprised to "see" this improvement. Thank you Thank you Thank you for writing it!

I purchased this book since I have a lot of issues with numbing and back pain. I am trying to learn how to use meditation to help relieve stress and keep my muscles loose. I haven't healed myself totally but a very interesting book to read.

So I’ve just started this...only in the first few chapters, but I can honestly say this is one of the most important books I’ve ever read. I have no idea why it’s not more popular or known about. It has revolutionary ideas in it, and sound methods.I have just started to explore Traditional Chinese Medicine, and have explored the fields of medicine, martial arts, and meditation. I don’t know the authors credentials for TCM, but he has obviously adapted what he’s learned to his own ideas and practice.It’s well written, and gives a flexible guide to setting up your own practice of the methods. It’s good for both physical and mental disorders. It’s for both fit and ill people.Really looking forward to recommending it other places.

This was a suggested reading from my Tai Chi Easy Instructor. Turns out, the 85-year-old instructor has worked with Dr. Jahnke for over 20 years and has traveled to China with him on 2 trips. What a wonderful local asset.As a professional in the Medical field for over 40 years, as I read the book I said to myself - This should be required reading for all patients, especially for those with Chronic conditions! The concept of not only personal responsibility but the power of self-healing is what is needed in today's complicated healthcare arena.I studied Tai Chi 25 years ago, but fell out of practice trying to learn and practice all the movements. With Tai Chi Easy I have mastered the 9 moves in just 4 weeks. The added benefit of the self massage, breathing techniques and mediation are the icing on the cake.Jahnke not only provides the format, in addition he goes into great detail on the Why and how you profit by self healing. This is a wonderful, enlightening read - Get a copy today and share it with your loved ones and friends.

I read this book as part of a training to become a medical Qi Gong facilitator. I found it informative, well written, validating, enlightening, and intriguing. I love that it was included in our reading list. The author is knowledgeable, authentic, and shares personal information. I highly recommend.

There is a lot to this book more than I unfortunately have time to explore what I wanted was there facial exercises so I carefully removed page 76-77-and 78, enlarged them on my printer, cut and pasted what I wanted and now I have the exercises on paper to use. I think someone should release a book of Chinese exercises like a yoga book with spiral pages. That would be great.
