The 14 pathways outlined in the book are: - Ayurveda - Chinese Medicine - Homeopathy - Kirlian Photography - Kyodo - Naturopathy - Osteopathy - Qigong - Radionics - Reiki - Sophrology - Tai Chi Chuan - Tibetan Medicine - Yoga As Chinese medicine, next to Ayurveda, is not only the oldest of these medical, sportive or meditative practices, the author has put a particular focus upon it, explaining the basic tenets and principles, such as the duality of Yin and Yang, the two complementary energies of every organism, and the theory of the Five Elements. The booklet comes with illustrations and a complete Bibliography. It is the first of a series of scholarly articles the author intends to publish in the near future.
