Shadows of Mawangdui

This book focuses on a set of drawings on silk called Daoyintu (Exercise Chart), a collection of cognitive body and mind exercises to improve health and treat pain. The chart was discovered as part of a medical library that was unearthed from a Chinese tomb and dated back to 168 B.C. Shadows of Mawangdui (Three Pines Press) offers detailed explanations of the images and movements. Carmone and Smith encourage readers to work through the exercises and let their creativity unfold.
