After centuries of ignorance western societies finally come to terms with their bodies. While Asian philosophies and traditions always saw body and mind as a unity Christianity and ‘intellectualism’ (I think therefore I am) never was comfy with physical pleasure, sex or touching.

So it’s no surprise that Westerners hunger for Asian massage, Yoga, Tantra, Tai Chi, various forms of meditation and martial arts - all of them designed to develop the whole human being and not just one aspect. Not to forget traditional Chinese or Tibetan medicine which find more and more followers in the west as well.

Today words like ‘energy’ and ‘chakras’ no longer are completely alien to us. Time to catch up, educate children on schools how to work with body and mind - maybe even introduce Tai Chi lessons in factories like in China?!
