Pranayama Lost in Translation
From the Hatha Verses to Practice
By Angela Andrea Ashwin
We seem to have forgotten what Yoga is and where it comes from. In a way, we stole Yoga from India and pretended it was ours. In the West, Yoga is perceived merely as a physical practice centred on movement and breathing. But Yoga is an ancient tradition passed down through verses from generation to generation. By studying the ancient verses, you will bring together the physical and philosophical practice of Yoga and experience its true meaning. The result of decades of pranayama practice, teaching and researching classical Indian scriptures, Pranayama Lost in Translation aims to revive the original meaning of pranayama in the West. With reference to the original scriptures, this book will explain Yoga terminology and offer practical instructions for those wishing to go deeper on their pranayama journey.

The Spark in the Machine
How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine
By Daniel Keown
Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new finger tips, but adult humans can't regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know, that western medicine ignores? Dan Keown's highly accessible, witty, and original book shows how western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine, and how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that western medicine largely ignores. He explains the generative force of embryology, how the hearts of two people in love (or in scientific terms `quantum entanglement') truly beat as one, how a cheating heart is also an ill heart (which is why men are twice as likely to die of a sudden heart attack with their mistress than with their wife), how neural crest cells determine our lifespan, and why Proust's madeleines evoked the memories they did.

Intention and Non-Doing in Therapeutic Bodywork
By Andrew Pike
Exploring the Buddhist/Taoist concept of non-doing and intention in relation to bodywork, this book focuses on how the therapist should approach their client without agenda and meet them where they are at. This requires the therapist to pay attention to their own surfacing intentions and leave assumptions behind so they may focus on simply being, which is a profoundly active, non-reactive expression of presence, rather than a passive state of resignation. The ramifications of subconscious doing and willful intention can negatively impact expressions of health and so the author explains how therapists may skillfully navigate between intention, attention and embodied non-doing whilst treating clients, and how this creates the foundations for safe relational touch.

Hip and Knee Pain Disorders provides a state-of-the-art, evidenceinformed, and clinically-informed overview of the examination and conservative management of hip and knee pain conditions. Under the current evidence-based practice paradigm, examination, and management decisions are determined by the best available research, clinician expertise, and patient preference. However, many feel this paradigm overemphasizes research, potentially devaluing the other two components. Evidence-informed practice aims to honor the original intent of evidence-based practice by acknowledging the value of clinician experience and expertise. It combines clinical reasoning, based on current best evidence, with authority-based knowledge and a pathophysiological rationale derived from basic science.

The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice
Working with Clients to Manage Stress and Enhance MindBody Function
By Ann Baldwin, Rebecca Bailey, Timothy Lohman
The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice describes practical, science-based techniques that can be used to improve vagal performance with the goal of restoring and maintaining mindbody health. Aimed at complementary medicine practitioners and holistic healers such as massage therapists, biofield practitioners, nutritional therapists, aromatherapists and energy healers, it explains how practitioners can adapt their modalities to stimulate the vagus nerve, together with other cranial nerves and the limbic system, to enhance their clients' experience and improve outcomes.
The book provides a clear understanding of the importance and benefits of self-regulating the autonomic nervous system, focusing on the vagus nerve. This nerve controls the stress response, regulates digestion, modulates the immune system, and releases an anti-inflammatory neurotransmitter, acetylcholine; when it functions inadequately, all of these systems can be adversely affected. By learning techniques to stimulate the vagus nerve, practitioners can help those experiencing low-level inflammation and emotional stress, including those with chronic diseases.
