zlib_text: > ABOUT THE BOOK
  
  > In _Holding Yin, Embracing Yang,_ Eva Wong presents translations of three
  > key texts containing the highest teachings of the Eastern and Western
  > schools of Taoist internal alchemy—the discipline of cultivating health,
  > longevity, and immortality by transforming the energetic structures of body
  > and mind. The texts are primarily concerned with meditation, breathing
  > practices, and sexual yoga with a partner—all as means for developing within
  > ourselves the same life-giving energy that sustains and nourishes the
  > universe.
  
  > The texts in this collection offer a clear view of the physical, mental, and
  > spiritual methods of Taoist practice, showing why they are important and how
  > these methods all can work together in the cultivation of mental peace,
  > radiant health, and longevity. This collection will provide inspiration and
  > the essential foundation necessary to begin Taoist practice under the
  > guidance of a teacher.
