If stress is trapped energy, then it's not all bad. When stress energy is channelled rightly, stress can be rewarding, creative and good for you.
After 3000 years of stress, the Chinese have had plenty of time to think about it. What they came up with is a practical solution based on a set of ideas very different from those in the West.
If stress is thought of as trapped energy, or Qi Stagnation, then you can develop ways to use it better, to let it flow properly and so enhance your health and that of others.
Viewed as trapped energy, it has potential for good and ill. Theory and experience show that although some strategies help nearly all kinds of stress, some work better than others for particular kinds of stress.
The book shows how different emotions cause different kinds of stress symptoms, and what may happen next if nothing is done about them, including eventually, the medically-recognised illnesses they lead to.
One chapter on Yin and Yang introduces the underlying movements in energy - Qi - that produce political events, and how they relate to the body.
Another chapter shows how events both in politics and life fall into natural cycles so that stress occurs when one phase of life cannot flow naturally into the next. Recognising which phase you are stuck in shows you the best ways to change or adapt to your situation.
It's practical and opens your eyes to what stress does. Having read it, you'll become much better at recognizing stress in yourself and in others.
The book lists the therapies and actions that the author has found best for particular kinds of stress.
The author, Jonathan Clogstoun-Willmott, has been treating stressed people for 35 years, using a whole array of different techniques. He is highly qualified in various forms of natural medicine, and is regularly praised for the clarity of his writing and website:
