Zen Macrobiotics
The Art of Rejuvenation and
Longevity
by George Ohsawa
A complete, yet concise description
of macrobiotics: “the art of universal peace and freedom on earth.” For the
last 30 years many people have purchased, read, and been inspired by what
has become known as “the little black book with the red circle on the
cover.” That third edition of Zen Macrobiotics by George Ohsawa was
published by the
Ohsawa Foundation in 1965 and was revised, edited, and annotated by Lou
Oles and Shayne Oles Suehle. Thanks to their efforts Zen Macrobiotics
contains some of Ohsawa’s strongest and most direct suggestions for
rejuvenation and longevity. |

Essential Ohsawa
by George Ohsawa & Carl Ferré
Scholar, healer, businessman, educator, poet,
philosopher George Ohsawa, known as the Father of Modern Macrobiotics, was all
this and more. Essential Ohsawa is the most comprehensive look at
Ohsawa’s philosophy ever presented. In it, you will learn the essence of
Ohsawa’s teachings—the
need for and methods of simple, natural eating and drinking; and the concepts of
the Order of the Universe and yin and yang.

Order of the
Universe
by George Ohsawa
From a reviewer on Amazon.com
At its core, this book is a philosophical treatise on the
relationship of the spirit and the material universe. Although the topic of
spirit has been brow-beaten in recent years by pop spiritual writers (and
the writer of this review has fallen prey to his share), this book stands
out. Ohsawa challenges the reader (and heck, all of western philosophy with
it)! His powerful allegories and raw intellectual power moved me into a
magical space (something like a zen koan). He fluently and systematically
speaks to the theories of Max Plank, Neils Bohr, Sigmund Freud, modern art,
politics and darn near everything else of cultural import -- pointing out
the beauties and arrogances of each. Again and again, he gently invites the
reader to question "Where are we going?" and "For what purpose", always
returning to the primacy of the spirit, the primacy of our glimpses of the
absolute as we travel "up the river of life". And, he certainly does not
forget the tangible material universe, which is part and parcel of the whole
-- through insightful descriptions of diet, health and other practical
concerns (yes, Ohsawa is the father of the modern macrobiotic movement and
has written many wonderful books on the topic). This book is better than
Yoda! |

The Book of
Macrobiotics
The Universal Way of Health, Happiness, and Peace
by Michio Kushi with Alex Jack
An introduction to the macrobiotic principles of health,
happiness, and peace through an understanding of the natural order as
related to dietary practice, spiritual development, and prevention and
relief of mental and physical disorders.
Revised after nearly a decade with the able help of Alex
Jack, many difficult sections are more clearly and simply explained. This
edition provides refinements on Kushi’s teachings, introduces many new
developments in the spread of macrobiotics in modern society, and also
includes a new chapter on the Spiritual World, new material on Yin and Yang
and the Five Transformations, Man/Woman relations, and Humanity’s Origin and
Destiny. The Food Composition tables have been expanded to include
nutritional information on dozens of foods such as tempeh, seitan and
amasake not previously available. “The Book of Macrobiotics” will definitely
round out your understanding of what macrobiotics means. |

Nine Star Ki
Your Astrological Companion
to Feng Shui
by Robert Sachs
Nine Star Ki is an ancient, practical view of the world based
on an astrological understanding of the way yin and yang interact to produce
all the changes in life. Its companion philosophy, Feng Shui, applies Ki
principles to your personal home and work environments. When combined as
they are here, Ki and Feng Shui offer a fresh way to understand your
personality, enhance your relationships, and develop a more fulfilling
lifestyle. As in all astrology, you start with the month, day, and year of
your birth (but not the exact time). A chart helps you use the ancient
Chinese calendar to calculate your personal Nine Star Ki numbers. From there
it's a simple matter to select from various wisdom collections the
particular traits that apply to you, from health suggestions to love life to
spiritual desires. Bonus: how to develop charts for family members, friends,
and lovers.
