Summary: Whoooaaa! just a second, here . . .
Review: This book is for advanced folks. It is not the first Eva Wong book you should check out. Go read all the reviews for her other ones first, and divine which course to take...That said, I might add that 'Cultivating Stillness' and 'Tao of Health, Longevity, etc.' are two oriental alchemy Eva Wong books that you are likely to get more out of, initially. This is so, not so much becasue of the alchemy practices themselves, which can be dangerous, but for the sprinking of useful orientations found throughout these two volumes. Yet her most useful volume is her 'Shambala Guide to Taoism.' There, she offers useful reading lists. From there, I learned of Michael Saso's 'Gold Pavilion'(see reviews.) I also learned of Wong's respect for Thomas Clancy, and acquired his 'Taoist Meditation'(see reviews.)These two Saso and Cleary volumes are to be highly recommended to the beginner. And now, for the coup de grace: may I recommend a worthy volume, not of the oriental type, but of the wesern mystery tradition? It is the incredibly useful 'Art of True Healing' by Israel Regardie(see reviews), well worth acquiring for anyone interested in meditation and 'self improvement.' Anyway, when I started taking a look at the Eva Wong books a year ago, 'Harmonizing' was one of the first I acquired, only because I could tell by her style that Wong's books were such that I would want all of them. (Note: I cannot comment on the recommendability of Livia Kohn's and Isabelle Robinet's books on Taoist meditation, as recommended by Wong, as I have not yet studied them.)
