Using case histories to illustrate, the author prescribes breathing exercises and body movements that soften muscular tension in the head, neck, chest, and abdomen, to restore the flow of blood and the "chi" life energy.. The author shows, for instance, how people who have suffered some form of heartbreak often get angry, stifle these feelings, and as a result become almost literally hardhearted. He explores why the most heart damaging aspects of the famous Type A personality is chronic hostility, and how the stress hormones coming from a Type A individual can directly contribute to coronary artery blockages.
