Ethan Indigo Smith has researched all manner of meditative movements and in his teaching of classes on meditation techniques he has pulled his ideas together in book form that for the beginner as well as for the experienced practitioner of meditation provides the kind of support that is so needed in order to rise to the plane of release and become a receptor of energy.
Were it possible to be a part of Ethan's classes then that would be the perfect experience, but in this very fine, well written, informative and useful book he takes us through his discoveries and his techniques in a manner that is easily assimilated. His classes (and this book) represent a fusion of simple meditative movements, or as he states, `Tibetan Fusion is a combination of simple meditative movements to build your chi, your prana, your healthful life energy in the easiest manner. Tibetan Fusion is like a mixture of simple fruits put together in quantities and qualities in accordance with overall gastronomical sensibility or meditative movement understandings. The series of meditative movements is combined in the order as follows in consideration of overall form and function to allow anyone to increase their access to energy. And yet as part of the idea or being free one can utilize aspects of Tibetan Fusion as you like. Tibetan Fusion is basically lying asanas, standing asanas, a series of tai chi warm ups, tai chi squats, standing breath work, the Eight Brocades, a chi gung series of standing movement and The Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation - a vigorous breath coordinated series of movements followed by meditation, of course.'
The key to this guide is simplicity: Various yoga, tai chi, chi gung are combined to make the process of healing yourself or heightening your being easy and accessible by all without training, equipment, or a master. Where Ethan finds the key to bringing the reader into his conclave of practitioners is by way of a very fine introduction about Tibet, the land and the history - aspects that not only make for excellent reading but also provide a substrate for understanding the techniques he is teaching. Or as in Ethan's words, 'I have combined self‐healing practices and meditation understandings and boiled them down to be the most palatable for the Western mind, the easily distracted, ego driven, hyper busy over‐thinker. '
While there are many books available on the various methods of meditation and the exercised that accompany those, this book (complete with fine drawings that visually describe the various positions and exercises) brings it all together very well. Grady Harp, March 13
