{"product_id":"el-secreto-de-la-flor-de-oro-9781469993744","title":"El secreto de la flor de oro","description":"The Secret of the Golden Flower is a Chinese Taoist work on meditation, which was translated by Richard Wilhelm. Wilhelm was a friend of the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. Despite the diversity of impressions, interpretation and opinion expressed by Wilhelm and Jung, the meditation technique described in The Secret of the Golden Flower is a simple, silent technique (the book's description of meditation has been characterized as Zen with details). The meditation technique, enunciated in poetic language, is reduced to a formula on posture, breathing and contemplation. Posture primarily relates to an upright position. The path of energy associated with breathing has been described as similar to an internal wheel vertically aligned with the spine. When breathing is constant, the wheel spins forward, with vital energy increasing in the back and descending in the front. Bad breathing habits (or bad posture, or even bad thoughts) can cause the wheel not to spin, or to go backward, inhibiting the circulation of essential vital energy. In contemplation, thoughts are observed as they arise and recede.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3974177\"\u003eRichard Wilhelm\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7133075\"\u003eCarl Gustav Jung\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469993744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469993740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL065000\"\u003eTaoism (see also PHILOSOPHY | Taoist)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46746397278383,"sku":"9781469993744","price":14.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_9561da5e-05e8-4652-841c-75bf8c0ec1b0.jpg?v=1775580725","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/es\/products\/el-secreto-de-la-flor-de-oro-9781469993744","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
