Rousing the Rabbit - Wu Baolin - Bog

"Rousing the Rabbit provides an in-depth exploration of rabbit symbolism and lore from a Daoist perspective. Not only did the abundant fertility of the rabbit establish it as an ancient form of currency and a potent emblem of wealth, but its powerful occipital third eye aids it in evading predators like the eagle. Drawing inspiration from careful observations of the rabbit's physiology and behavior, the book guides readers through specialized qigong exercises designed to open the occipital third eye and take control of destiny. These engaging practices also have many health benefits, from enhancing athletic performance and cultivating longevity to averting misfortune and improving relationships. The work offers a unique synthesis of historical anecdotes, cross-cultural perspectives, Daoist teachings, and modern scientific thought, weaving together mythology, philosophy, qigong, and health strategies. It is a must for anyone engaged in self-cultivation and interested in Daoist worldview"--
