After graduating from Cambridge in History, I studied at the Beshara School of Intensive Esoteric Education in Scotland, and have been Editor of the Journal of the Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi Society since 1982.In addition to running a publishing company dedicated to the work of Ibn 'Arabi, I am author of The Unlimited Mercifier (1999), a spiritual biography of Ibn 'Arabi, and co-translator of two of his short works (Divine Sayings, 2004, and The Seven Days of the Heart, 2000). For the last 6 years I have been involved in creating a digital archive of Ibn 'Arabi's manuscripts and am now editing several of his shorter works.""Once a year I run a tour to Andalusia or Anatolia for people to travel "in the footsteps" of Ibn 'Arabi, visiting the places he lived and wrote about."

According to one legend, the sage Li Ch’ing died in 1930 at the age of 252 years. His long life was helped by a small glass of mixed (He Shou Wu) flowery knotweed and (Ren Shen) Korean ginseng tonic wine taken each evening before bed. Tonic wines are easy to make at home using a large jar filled with the tonic herbs usually roots such as Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica), He Shou Wu or Ren Shen which is then covered with red, yellow or clear wine The special class of herbs, known as the Elixir Tonics, are easy to use. Tens of millions of people in China use them regularly to maintain or build their health. A large and rapidly growing number of Westerners have discovered these incredible herbs and are now using them with great benefit.  To apply the system, one need know only a few herbs, understand the basic principles and use common sense. Different herbs suit different people and are used at different times and under different circumstances. You will learn the seven major types of tonic herbal remedies and receive a 50 page handbook.
