A Study of Qi in Classical
Texts
P, 136 pp, $22.95
Elizabeth Rochat dela Vallee
A
n understanding of qi is central
to C hinese philosophy, art, m ed-
icine and m ovem ent therapies, but
w e often rely on vague term inology,
using the catch-phrase energyto
explain w hat qi is. A Study of Q icontains detailed descrip-
tions of the various differentiations of qi, but also a w ide-
ranging philosophical investigation into the origin and
developm ent of the concept of qi itself. Elisabeth Rochat
de la Vallee explores the philosophical texts of the
Zuozhuan, Zhuangzi, H uainanzi and M encius, as w ell as
the m edical texts of the N eijing and N anjing, to provide
context and depth to our understanding of this ever-pres-
ent but elusive activity of life.

his book is a pocket-sized trans-

the late H an D ynasty, the N an Jing is
one of the four foundation classics of
C hinese m edicine. Its full title in
C hinese is the H uang D i Ba Shi Yi N an Jing (The Yellow
Em perors Eighty-one D ifficulties C lassic). It is called the
Eighty-one D ifficulties because it consists of 81 chapters,
each chapter discussing a difficult, unresolved or unclear
issue from the Yellow Em perors Inner C lassic. This is the
book that system atized pulse diagnosis at the radial arter-
ies on the w rists and that also system atized the use of the

H
ere is a text for scholars, for
students of C hinese language
and culture, and for those clinicians
(particularly herbalists) w ho recog-
nize a relationship betw een their
clinical skill and their understanding of C hinese thought.
The author, H su Ta-C hun, w rote in the 18th century
im m ediately prior to the introduction of W estern science
and m edicine to C hina. H e achieved recognition and influ-
enced the history of m edicine because the m edicine he
cham pioned w as pristine in logic and m ethod. In any peri-
od, or any culture, H su w ould have been a rem arkable
thinker. A literate, broadly skilled scholar, he practiced
m edicine as an expression of personal and social responsi-
bility. Even w ith his articulate and profound attachm ent to
classical ideas, he w as able to recognize progress in m edi-
cine, w hile retaining an ability to critically exam ine popular
ideas and m odern physicians. H e could both recognize
others for their accom plishm ents, and scathe w ith uncom -
prom ising prose those w hom he felt corrupted the art of
m edicine. H e w as a conservative w ho understood the
practical necessities of patient care.
In his extensive prologue U nschuld includes a detailed
analysis of H sus w ork. W e learn that C hinese m edicine
does differ from W estern m edicine, offering a holistic view
of disease and the hum an w ho suffers. H ow ever, w e also
learn that H su and his European contem poraries w ould
not have regarded one another as strangers. H sus 100
essays are broad and fascinating. The scope of these
essays gives us a view of C hinese m edicine that is w hole
and inclusive. H is discussions of illness, pathoconditions,
form ulas, and substances are often m ore lucid than the
explanations offered by m odern texts. Som e are of partic-
ular interest to historians, philologists, and philosophers;
others are of direct interest to clinicians. By speaking his
opinions clearly and reporting on an art w ith w hich he
w as deeply intim ate, H su has bequeathed us a richly
detailed vision of C hinese m edicine at its height. The
essays read w ell and dem onstrate that rigorous scholar-
ship can draw back the curtains of tim e, language, and
preconceived notion to reveal the m ind and thought of an
exceptional individual. By carefully selecting term s that are
suitable for the variety of circum stances in w hich a
C hinese character is used, U nschuld helps us to refine our
understanding of im portant C hinese concepts.

piled by court physicians in 1742 and used as a textbook
for the Im perial M edical School in the Q ing D ynasty. The

core of C hinese m edical doctrine: w ithout this bright,
golden m irror,replete w ith vivid illustrations and effective
therapies for m any disorders, how could scholars see the
origin and lineage of orthodox C hinese m edicine clearly?
The text is distinguished by its concise and w ell-

ered a w ide variety of gynecological issues in a m anner
that allow ed the key clinical points to be rapidly assim ilat-

C hapters are structured w ith verses follow ed by annota-
tions and are dedicated to m enstruation, fertility, pregnan-

on identifying yin and yang patterns of illness based on
presenting signs, the Fu Ke investigates w om ens health in
a clear and system atic w ay, epitom izing the unique and
sophisticated philosophy and style of C hinese m edicine,
draw ing from m ajor m edical classics and presenting infor-

I
n this translation U nschuld expands
our view of traditional C hinese
m edical thinking by providing an his-
torically accurate and in-depth view of C hinese m edical
thought at one of its m ost sem inal stages of devlopm ent.
By beginning from the extant fragm ents and literary refer-
ences from the first century forw ard, U nschuld and his
colleagues have been able to establish the best possible
estim ation of the N ei Jing contents, period by period,
author by author. This foundation research show s us the
N ei Jing in a light that has until now illum inated the text
only for those few scholars w ho have had access to these
ancient sources. By describing the earliest sources, the
m eaning of the title, and the history of the early Su W en
texts, U nschuld provides readers a w ith a clear view of the
N ei Jingsplace in the ongoing adaptation of traditional
C hinese m edical thought to the changing needs and
understandings of C hinese thinkers. It is an exciting and
detailed view of notions about life and health in critical
transition from a w orld-view rooted in the num inous to
the idea that there w ere observable and know able natural
law s to w hich hum ankind could conform , thus achieving
health and longevity. W e see the N ei Jing not as the static
w isdom of an ancient sage, but as the foundation of a
dynam ic intellectual construct that has continuously evolved
through the adaptations and insights of generations.
The m ain body of the text is a survey of the fields con-
ceptual foundations. By organizing the text core concept
by core concept, different veiw s of the sam e idea w ithin
the know n text em erge, attesting not only to likely m ulti-
plicities of authorship but also to the m aleability of the
concepts in their form ative stages. For exam ple, in the
chapter on Q i and Blood, w e see a three stage Spring,
Sum m er, W inter seasonal progression of qi through
the core organs in Su W en 2.In Su W en 16 there is a six-
step progression over the course of a year, and in Su W en
61 it is a five-fold division in line w ith the Five Agents
D octrine.
The text concludes w ith an Epilogue, N otes, and an
extensive appendix on the Five Periods and Six Q i. In the
Eiplogue D r. U nschuld discusses the ground w ork for a
com paritive anthropology of m edical thinking. The book-
length Appendix provides an explanation of the relation-
ships betw een clim ate, natural phenom ena, and hum an
health and illness that are codified in the doctrine of five
periods and six qi. This is the single m ost-detailed exam i-
nation of a C hinese clinical concept yet in print.It gives
readers a firm foundation for understanding the deepest
roots of the living m edicine.

his book is structured to present
the translations of original articles
or sections of dialogue, follow ed by
annotations and com m entaries.
For exam ple, the original article says, O pen the ghost
gate and cleanse the clear fu-organ,w hile the annotation
w hich follow s says, D iaphoresis and diuresis.The reason
for the significant difference is that the latter presents a
readily recognizable gloss in W estern m edical term inology,
w hile the form er presents a literal translation of the origi-
nal text that is closer to the expression accepted by practi-
tioners of TC M in C hina, and com es closer to reflecting
the real m eaning in the context of TC M conceptualization.
The style of translation is literal and verbatim , a choice
m ade by the translator in order to avoid w here possible
the pitfalls of narrow ly specialized experts w ho m ight thus
inadvertently alter the transm ission of inform ation.
O verall, the text is arranged w ith an introduction and
overview , and eight chapters covering the theory of yin-

ory of pathogens and pathom echanism s, diseases and

T
he Shang H an Lun has been a
prim ary treatm ent theory and
practice source for nearly tw o m il-
lenia. Its author, Zhang Zhong Jing, has been nam ed the
C hinese H ippocratesto highlight the depth and breadth
of his contribution to traditional C hinese drug therapy.
This edition features the C hinese text, Pinyin translitera-
tion, and an English translation of the entire Song D ynasty
text, the content and textual order m ost used in Asia. Just
as in C hinese language editions, it is fully supplem ented
w ith notes and com m entaries. The notes describe the
clinical sym ptom s Zhang Zhong Jing associated w ith the
C hinese term s. For exam ple, m odern interpretations of a
m oderatepulse often refer to the speed of its beats.
The sam e term , w hen used in the Shang H an Lun,refers
to a pulse that is loose, soft, and harm onious. Such notes
provide practitioners w ith the clinical observations neces-
sary to properly apply the inform ation.
The com m entaries further enhance the texts clinical
utility by explaining the theoretical and practical founda-
tions behind the lines of text. Because entire bodies of
theory and practice can be associated w ith the term s and
expressions used in canonical w orks like the Shang H an
Lun, com m entaries have becom e a standard m eans of
know ledge acquisition for Asian students. The com m en-
taries in this edition serve exactly the sam e purpose,
greatly enhancing its utility. The introductory m atter
explains the background of the text, the conceptual struc-
ture of its contents, and the problem s of exegesis. The
appendices are designed to assist those studying C hinese
and the glossary and the full Pinyin-English index m ake this

W
arm D isease Theory is the

There w ere several schools of
w arm disease, dating from the M ing and Q ing dynasties,
but until the tim e this text w as w ritten there had never
been an attem pt to integrate their ideas into an overview .
This translation is the first text to integrate the view s of
every school, the first to undertake a com prehensive dis-
cussion of the foundations of w arm disease theory and the
clinical treatm ent of w arm diseases. It is in fact such a valu-
able source of theoretical and therapeutic inform ation that
it is often considered a m odern classic.
Section 1 introduces all the basic inform ation about
w arm disease, including its history, disease causes, pattern
identification, and general diagnostic and treatm ent m eth-
ods. Section 2 devotes a separate chapter to each of the
different w arm diseases. It deals w ith the disease factors,
clinical m anifestations, pulses, and treatm ents in the w arm
diseases of the four seasons including w ind w arm th, spring
w arm th, sum m erheat w arm th, dam p w arm th, latent sum -
m erheat w arm th, autum n dryness, and w arm toxins. In
each of these w arm diseases, the disease concepts, etiolo-
gies, pathologies, m ain points of diagnosis and treatm ent
policies are discussed first, then the patterns and treat-
m ents of their characteristic disease transform ations are
explained.

tory chapters tell the com pelling
story of how traditional C hinese
physicians developed the theories and concepts of w arm
disease in response to the health crises of their tim e,
w hich included a num ber of epidem ics. The discussion of
the evolution of their approach to etiology, pathogenesis,
diagnosis, and treatm ent dem onstrates how traditional
m edicine has evolved to m eet contem porary needs.
The second part of the book describes the various
types of w arm disease from a clinical perspective. H ere
the author discusses the m anifestations, pathogenesis,
treatm ent principles, and form ulas for each type. C ase his-
tories show how theory is actually applied in the clinic,
presenting a variety of approaches. Aspects of dosage and
preparation that are generally om itted from standard text-
books are also discussed. There is an extensive bibliogra-
phy of original source m aterials, supplem ental case histo-
ries and m ateria m edica, and detailed indexes w hich pro-

Yin Yang in Classical Texts
P, 145 pp, $22.95
Elisabeth Rochat dela Vallee
T
he author explores C hinese
classical texts w ith a focus on the
concept of yin yang. Exam ining early
w ritings of the Sping and Autum n
Annals, the D aoist classics of Laozi,
Zhuangzi, and H uananzi, and the
m edical texts of the Yellow Em peror and the N eijing
Suw en, Rochat explains the developm ent of these ideas
from their early associations w ith the w eather and their
interpretation as heat and cold, light and dark, to their
m ore w idespread use to com pare and contrast any phe-
nom ena, and to explain their m ovem ent and interaction.
Along w ith the concept of qi, an understanding of yin yang
helps us to absorb the perspective that is fundam ental to
classical C hinese thinking, a perspective quite different
from that of the m odern W est. It speaks of relationship,
m utual resonance, constant change, and transform ation.
Yin yang underpins this interrelationship and codepen-
dence. These ancient texts suggest a universe in w hich
hum ans are not only part of the larger w eb of life, they
are indeed responsible for their actions, for their em o-
tions, and for their health, and by extension, responsible
for the health of the planet.

parts. The first part describes the
basic features of the literary language
of C hinese m edicine, its relationship
to the language of the classical peri-

know n as M andarin.It explains m any gram m atical con-
structions com m only encountered in C hinese m edical
texts, and describes in detail how C hinese m edical term s
are com posed. The second part presents the term inology
of C hinese m edicine as its com ponent characters. The
characters are introduced in sets according to subject m at-
ter; for exam ple, the term s related to the five phases. The
Pinyin pronunciation and English rendering are given w ith
Kenyon and Knott phonetic transcriptions of the English
renderings for the benefit of non-English-speaking learn-
ers. Each of these lists is follow ed by a third section that
presents exam ples of com pound term s that use the char-
acters thus far introduced. The exam ples are then fol-
low ed by drills that self-test the vocabulary item s that
should have been acquired. The answ ers to questions are
given at the end of the book.
The text begins w ith an explanation of the gram m ar and
continues w ith vocabulary sections covering Basic Theories,
D iseases, Pathom echanism s and Pattern Identification,
Principles and M ethods of Treatm ent, C hinese
Pharm aceutics and Acupuncture. Students w ishing to find
out m ore about the C hinese m edical term s and concepts
can consult A Practical D ictionary of C hinese M edicine by
the sam e authors. The appendices include the answ ers to
the 912 self-test questions, C hinese m edicinals and for-
m ulas by treatm ent principle (e.g., exterior-resolving for-
m ulas) and the nam es of channel points. A com plete
English-Pinyin-C hinese and Pinyin-C hinese-English index
of all the single characters introduced in the text provides
access to the basic elem ents of the term inology.
This w ork assum es that the student has already
acquired a know ledge of how C hinese characters are
com posed, how they are w ritten by hand, and how they
are pronounced. W hile the text itself can be navigated
entirely in Pinyin, students should know how to use
C hinese language dictionaries. Anyone w ho has this basic
know ledge of C hinese can use this book to acquire the

his is an absorbing story about a
lineage of traditional physicians in
C hina w hich began in 1626, and
w hose contem porary m em bers
(including Q in Bow ei) shaped the
m odern practice of TC M all over the w orld.
In 1626, a young m an nam ed Fei Shangyou m oved his
fam ily to M enghe, a sm all tow n in the Yangzi delta of
C hina. According to fam ily legend, he abandoned his
career as a scholar and began w orking as a physician. In
doing so, he founded a m edical lineage that continues to
the present day. This book describes the developm ent,
flourishing, and decline of this lineage and its m any branch-
es. The history of the M enghe current is relevant to any-
one interested in the developm ent of C hinese m edicine in
late im perial and m odern C hina. This book traces C hinese
m edical history along the currents created by generations
of physicians linked to each other by a shared heritage of
learning, by descent and kinship, by sentim ents of native
place as w ell as nationalist fervor, by personal rivalries and
econom ic com petition, by the struggle for the survival of
tradition and glorious visions of a new global m edicine.

U nschuld continues his exploration
of C hinese traditional m edicine
through an exam ination of the art,
craft, and com m ercial artifacts of its history in C hina.
Beginning w ith an historical overview , he exam ines the lit-
erature of m edicine and pharm acy, taking the M aw angdui
text as the starting point. In successive chapters he exam -
ines drug use and pharm acology, including m ass-produced
products and how they w ere m arketed, pharm acies, their
containers, and equipm ent. This is follow ed by a revealing
exam ination of physicians, including the itinerant healers,
m edical scholars, and official physicians.
The final chapter discusses C hinese m edicine in art and
literature beginning w ith an overview of the distinctions
betw een East and W est in the m edical subjects chosen, or
ignored for artistic portrayal, the concentration on por-
traits of fam ous C hinese physicians in painting and the
relationship of m edical subjects in art to C hinese beliefs
and custom s. The text includes 178 plates, m any in color,
that include acupuncture charts and equipm ent, pharm a-
ceutical preparation equipm ent and form ula packaging,
paintings of m edical subjects and physicians, and statuary.

he central them e of this w ork is
expressed through three distinct
elem ents that com prise the theoreti-
cal developm ent and the practical
grow th of C hinese m edicine. The
first is m agicalcorrespondence. The second is em pirical,
practical m edicine-the folk know ledge of herbs and sub-
stances that aided in the treatm ent of disease. The third is
the professional know ledge of the pharm acist or acupunc-
turist, a m edicine of system atic correspondences.
U nschulds w ork teaches us that m edicine is heavily
influenced by the society in w hich it is practiced. The per-
spectives he offers, and the m odels he explains, help the
reader to develop a broad understanding of C hinese
m edicine and recognize the antecedents for m odern
ideas. H e provides a m eans by w hich w e m ay recognize
w hen w e can or cannot call upon the long experience of
C hinese m edicine to validate our ow n adaptations. H is
translational and academ ic rigor preserves for the reader
the conceptual integrity of a large and illustrious body of
classical literature in C hinese m edicine.

ase study literature is w idely
regarded as one of the m ost
useful tools for education and clinical
developm ent in the field of C hinese
m edicine. H ow ever, few English
case study resources truly illustrate the successes and fail-
ures of highly-skilled practitioners, and thus m any such
books fail to be truly useful in the clinic. By contrast,
Paradigm s new case study text by Jiao Shu-D e represents
a breakthrough in high-quality case study literature. D r.
Jiao is a senior practitioner and educator in C hina w ith
unparalleled clinical experience, one of the m ost w ell-
respected and w ell-know n C hinese m edical practitioners
of the m odern era. H is extensive know ledge and pro-
found clinical experience have been an inspiration to gen-
erations of m odern C hinese students, and his collected
w orks provide trem endous insight into m edicinal therapy,
form ulas, and case-based treatm ent approaches. As the
third and final publication in the series, this case study vol-
um e provides a fascinating insight into the clinical thought
processes of one of the few true m odern m asters of our
tim e. Jiao docum ents a variety of cases that cover nearly
every specialty field in C hinese m edicine. Each case pro-
vides an in-depth patient history, and each patient is diag-
nosed and treated using the principle of pattern identifica-
tion to determ ine treatm ent. Readers w ill see D r. Jiaos
thought process as he correlates sym ptom s, identifies pat-
terns, determ ines the treatm ent m ethod, selects and
m odifies form ulas, integrates biom edicine, and tracks the
patients progress. W hile students w ill benefit from this
case-based approach to education, experienced practition-
ers w ill gain new insights from the sophisticated approach
that D r. Jiao utilizes. Already a classic in C hina, this long-
aw aited text fills a clinical niche that m akes it an essential
addition to the library of all serious practitioners.

Em phasis is placed on issues and
sym ptom s com m only encountered

these signs and sym ptom s. It is the authors proposal that
since C hinese m edicine diagnosis relies on a subjective
appraisal of the patients sym ptom s and signs - w hich form
a pattern m any factors beyond traditional W estern
sym ptom s m ust be taken into consideration. A subtle
appraisal of a patients disharm ony, and a careful interpre-
tation of a range of nuances, w ill lead the student or prac-
titioner to a successful diagnostic interpretation.

T
his w ork m akes the logical rela-
tionships in pattern diagnosis
easy to see, easy to read, and easy
to understand. It succinctly explains
each of the sym ptom s, signs, tech-
niques, and patterns w ith special em phasis on practical
clinical observations, follow ed by a graphical display of the
clinical details for each.This graphically display saves stu-
dents the hours and hours of effort usually taken to sort
these details from lectures and textbooks. The translation-
al term inology used preserves the basic English term s on
w hich there is a higher degree of consistency and fam iliari-
ty excess and deficiency for exam ple readers feel m ost
com fortable. By insuring that the full detail of the diagnos-
tic skills is included, and that each concept can be reliably
linked to C hinese, readers are assured that they can dis-
cover anything they m ight need to know and that they w ill
be able to cross-reference other texts that have preserved
a reliable relationship to their C hinese sources.
The first of tw o parts begins w ith a review of the m ain
concepts and principles of diagnosis. C hapter 2,
Inspection, describes a w hole-person diagnostic routine
w ith em phasis on tongue inspection. It also includes a sec-
tion on pediatric inspection of the superficial veins of the
index finger. C hapter 3 details the traditional approach to
listening and sm elling. C hapter 4 describes a full course of
questioning including areas of investigation particular to
pregnancy, post-partum issues, and pediatric disorders.
C hapter 5 is devoted to palpation, w ith an em phasis on
pulse palpation.
Part 2 covers Pattern Identification. In C hapter 6, Eight
Principle Pattern Identification is detailed. H ere, the graphi-
cal approach really excels because it is easy to see how
one pathom echanism , for exam ple, an insufficiency of
yang qi, can relate to m any m anifestations observed by
the patient and practitioner, as w ell as m any system ic
pathologies. There is also an analysis of transm ission
betw een one eight principle pattern and another. C hapter
7 describes pathogenic patterns and C hapter 8 describes
patterns of Q i and Blood. C hapter 9 describes the identifi-
cation of patterns for each of the internal organs. H ere
too the use of tables m ake the m ultiplicity of relationships
easier to see. In chapters 10 through 12, D r. C hen
describes three specialized diagnostic approaches: Six
C hannels; W ei, Q i, Ying and Blood; and the three burn-
ers. C hapter 13 presents fourteen case histories to be
used as review of pattern diagnosis. There is also an
extensive index.

his text is the second in a unified
series entitled Essentials of
C hinese M edicine that is an effort on
the part of the publisher and authors
to use concise, accurate and sim ple
language to transm it the essential know ledge of traditional
C hinese m edicine. The author, a graduate of Beijing TC M
U niversity, taught for 10 years in the PRC and subse-
quently has taught herbology for 10 years in the U .S.
The body of this book is divided into tw o parts. Part I
consists of 47 com m on internal m edical conditions (includ-
ing addendum s) presented according to the traditional
m edical practice of differentiation and treatm ent. D erived
from the analysis of etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and
differential diagnosis, patterns for the selected condition
are differentiated and identified, and guidelines for treat-
m ent are provided. Part II presents 37 W estern m edical
conditions for w hich TC M treatm ent has proven effective.
The approach in Part II integrates W estern m edical diag-
nosis and TC M differentiation of the condition. Based on
the analysis of the prim ary sym ptom s, the characteristics
and progressions of the patterns are elaborated, and

cussions of pathogenesis and therapy, Foundationsuses
m any 2-tone illustrations, diagram s, and case histories to
reinforce the text. It describes the functions, etiologies and
patterns associated w ith each of the channels and organs.
Also included are descriptions of hand diagnosis, eye reflex
areas, and inform ation regarding the often overlooked
specifics of habit and lifestyle.
The section on channels and points is im aginative and
original. Instead of the usual location and actions listings,
the author directs attention to the experiential inform ation
needed to select and apply points effectively. Each point is
discussed in three categories: nature, action, and com m en-
tary. The first category is the point associations, the second
its related functions or treatm ent principles. The com m en-
tary section is a discussion of the points clinical use based
on C hinese sources and the authors experience.
These discussions detail the practical use of the point,
the effective applications, and clinical advice concerning
technique or selection. For the reader w ho liked the
Essentialsor C hinese Acupuncture and M oxibustion but
w anted a broader scope and less confusing prose, this is
the ideal text. The second revised edition also includes

sections to clearly show point num bers and nam es, addi-
tional illustrations, tables and diagram s, and m ore illustra-
tive case studies. An accom panying C D -RO M provides

the application of these patterns in practice, including a
sm all but unique chapters giving a step-by-step approach
to determ ining treatm ent from the pattern and the differ-

w ith basic inform ation about a given substance such as
taste, tem perature, and entering channels. This is follow ed

The Preface provides critical inform ation about the study
of the m ateria m edica and the use of prescriptions. The
final chapter discusses form ula organization w ith specific
exam ples from D r. Jiaos ow n clinical experience.
D r. Jiao stresses the im portance of using the results of
m odern scientific research in order to advance the study
and developm ent of traditional C hinese m edicine. H e
nonetheless places equal im portance on the need to view
these results in the context of the theories of traditional
m edicine. H e is disturbed by the tendency for m odern
physicians to lose sight of traditional theories and principles
in the face of biom edical research. W hen asked about this,
he replied that the physicians of antiquity didnt know the
w ord hepatitis,but they could treat it w ithout know ing
anything about liver enzym es or antigen/antibody titers.
H e advocates a research m ethodology that he describes
as carrying on tradition, choosing the strong points, high-
lighting the distinguishing traits, and developing new ideas.

Chinese Pulse Diagnosis:
Contemporary Approach
H, 812 pp, $85.00

P
ulse diagnosis, one of the jew els
of traditional C hinese m edicine,
is a profoundly subtle instrum ent for
the early diagnosis and prevention of
disease. Yet far too often, in the
haste of m odern education and practice, it has becom e a
neglected art. C hinese Pulse D iagnosis offers a clear and
practical path tow ard a m uch deeper understanding of this
traditional diagnostic m ethod, w hile recasting its interpre-
tation in the context of our ow n tim es. The book is
organized in seventeen chapters, w hich are presented in
an advancing hierarchy of com plexity. The early chapters
consider such general issues as term inology, classification
of pulse qualities, historical com parisons of positions and
depths, the effects of age and gender, and a m ethodology
for taking the pulse. The m iddle chapters provide an in-
depth look at each of the individual pulse qualities, identi-
fied by felt sensation based on such characteristics as rate
and rhythm , stability, volum e, depth, size, and shape. The
types of pathology associated w ith each of the qualities are
also discussed.
Later chapters exam ine the significance of the qualities
w hen found across the entire pulse, or large segm ents of
the pulse (left or right side, across the burners), and at dif-
ferent depths. The relationship of the various pulse quali-
ties to psychology and prognosis are addressed in separate
chapters. A final sum m ary chapter on interpretation, sup-
ported w ith case histories, draw s everything together to
show how this inform ation can be form ulated into a
rational diagnosis. Key inform ation in the book is organ-
ized and richly illustrated in over one hundred tables and
graphic draw ings. Individual chapter tables of contents and
extensive indexes provide convenient access to every
aspect of this im portant subject.

or students and practitioners of
C hinese m edicine, one of the
m ore difficult diagnostic m ethods to
learn and m aster is pulse diagnosis.
Successful transm ission of this
know ledge and skill requires the description of w hat is felt
through palpation som ething that often evades the
com prehension of m ost beginning students, if these
descriptions are not portrayed effectively.
The Pocket Atlas of Pulse D iagnosisunravels the m ys-
tery of pulse diagnosis. D etailed explanations of the 28
individual pulses are presented, along w ith sim ple dia-
gram s that vividly illustrate how the different pulses should
feelunder the fingers at each level of palpation. U seful
com parisons of the different pulses are also included to aid
the reader in understanding how to differentiate betw een
the m any types of pulses. There is a chapter that analyzes
the pulse m anifestations of various com m on diseases, as
w ell as a chapter that discusses sections of W ang Shu-H es
The Pulse C anon(M ai Jing).
O ne cannot find a m ore rich presentation of pulse diag-
nosis in a pocket-sized atlas. All in all, this is a valuable and
convenient learning tool for anyone seeking to be profi-
cient in the art of pulse diagnosis.

his text is a com prehensive
review of the C hinese clinical lit-
erature on w om ens problem s
inform ed by the clinical experience
and understanding of the author.
The first section elucidates the theoretical foundations of
the specialty. U sing innovative diagram s and illustrations,
the text describes fem ale physiology, providing both
W estern and C hinese view s. This is follow ed by a descrip-
tion of the com m only encountered syndrom es and an
explanation of the role of the extraordinary vessels.
The second section covers the developm ent of fem ale
pathologies. Readers w ill find the authors insights clinically
valuable. The diagnosis section proceeds through the four
exam inations, establishing a checklist of sem inal diagnostic
criteria. The section on tongue exam ination is enhanced
by a frontispiece of 16 high-quality color photographs of
representative tongue conditions.
In m odern C hina, pathom echanism s have becom e a m ajor
focus of C hinese m edical literature and education. U p to now ,
relatively little of this m aterial has been transm itted to the
W est, and consequently m any practitioners have not gone
beyond pattern diagnosis to exam ine the underlying disease
process that produces the patterns. Thus, pathom echanism s are
often described as a m issing linkin a W esterners C hinese m ed-
ical education. Paradigm 's new series of texts devoted to pathom e-
chanism s attem pts to bridge this gap so that practitioners m ay
advance their know ledge and reap the rew ards of greater clinical suc-
cess.
Pathom echanism s describe the dynam ic processes through w hich
disease develops and transform s in the body. W hile pattern diagnosis
provides the practitioner w ith a snapshot picture of the current state of illness, it
is a thorough understanding of pathom echanism s that allow s one to predict and prevent
the progression of disease. A com prehensive know ledge of the pathom echanism s
involved in a given case allow s treatm ent to be m ore holistic, preventative, and effective.
Pathom echanism s of the H eart discusses repletion conditions of the heart, including qi
stagnation, phlegm obstruction, blood stasis, heart repletion cold, heart repletion heat,
dam pness encum bering the heart, and w ater assailing the heart. It also details vacuity condi-
tions, including vacuity of heart qi, heart yang, heart blood, and heart yin.
Pathom echanism s of the Liverdescribes repletion conditions of the liver, including
liver qi depression, crossw ise counterflow of liver qi, counterflow ascent of liver qi,
dow npour of liver qi, and evil scurrying in the sinew s. It also presents liver vacuity condi-
tions, including vacuity of liver blood, liver yin, liver qi, and liver yang.
Pathom echanism s of the Spleen provides a thorough glim pse into the various
m anifestations of spleen disease in C hinese m edicine. Part 1 discusses repletion con-
ditions of the spleen, including spleen qi depression, thought and preoccupation stag-
nating in the spleen, cold-dam p encum bering the spleen, phlegm turbidity obstructing
the spleen, food and drink dam aging the spleen, and static blood accum ulating in the
spleen - and spleen fire (yang) exuberance - including spleen channel repletion fire
and dam p-heat brew ing in the spleen. The second section presents vacuity
conditions, including vacuity of spleen qi, spleen yang, and spleen yin.
Pathom echanism s of the Lung discusses repletion conditions of the lung,
including im paired diffusion of the lung, im paired depurative dow nbearing of
the lung, and im paired diffusion and dow nbearing of the lung. The second sec-
tion presents vacuity conditions, including vacuity of lung qi, lung yang, lung yin,
and lung blood.
In a sim ilar fashion, the first section of Pathom echanism s of the Kidney
describes the repletion conditions of the kidney, including kidney-channel w ind-
cold, w ind-heat, w ind-dam p, cold-dam p, dam p-heat, repletion fire, static blood,
phlegm turbidity, stones in the kidney channel, and kidney channel qi stagnation.
The second section presents vacuity conditions, including vacuity of kidney yang, of
kidney qi, and of kidney yin, insufficiency of kidney essence, dual vacuity of kidney yin
and kidney yang, and kidney vacuity verging on desertion.
Each text describes the pathom echanism s of the different viscus in detail, w ith ref-
erences to its historical developm ent, then further differentiated by the specific etiologi-
cal factors. Each subsection discusses the origins and developm ent of ideas relevant to this
pathology, then gives the various sym ptom s, treatm ent strategies, and specific form ulas,
often w ith m odifications to address the particular sym ptom s m ore directly. H ere the
author, a distinguished practitioner and educator in Sichuan, offers a review of the entire
range of relevant traditional m edical literature, giving specific quotations and explanations.
Each section is sum m arized in a useful table that differentiates again by etiology and then
lists specific sym ptom s. There is also a section on m odern research, a C hinese-English
bibliography (w ith both classical texts and journal articles on m odern research), and a
stroke order bibliography.

The third and largest section is a clinical m anual. Each
chapter of each section is devoted to an exam ination of a
specific clinical dom ain. Each begins w ith the authors
com m entary on the condition, its clinical definition, and
the relevant C hinese physiological and pathological con-
cepts. This is follow ed by subsections specifically detailing
the relevant etiology, pathology, and diagnosis, providing
good conceptual foundation and practical clinical observa-
tions. These are then sum m ed as principles of treatm ent.
The therapeutic inform ation is organized by syndrom es,
a list of the relevant ones begins each section. For each
syndrom e there is a treatm ent principle, an acupuncture
treatm ent, and one or m ore herbal prescriptions. There is
an explanation of the application of each acupoint and
each the m edicinal substance. The treatm ents are further
supplem ented by case histories from the authors practice,
a com m entary on prognosis and prevention, and, w here
appropriate, discussions of related W estern diseases.
There are also clinical insights and translations of acupoint
prescriptions from ancient sources. Acupoints are listed in
alphanum eric and Pinyin; herbs appear in Pinyin and phar-

liantly illum inates this TC M construct for W estern readers
w ho m ay be conceptually ham pered by linear m odels of
biom edical diagnosis, unable to sort through a chaos of
sym ptom s to derive a treatable pattern of illness. It con-
veys em otion-related disorders as they are understood,
experienced, and treated in the zhongyi (TC M ) clinics in
contem porary C hina. W e see that em otion-related disor-
ders are not directly correlate to em otional disorders or
m ental disorders in W estern psychiatric conceptualization.
The TC M construct is used loosely to include a group of
illness patterns originating from internal dam age attributa-
ble to excessive em otions and m arked w ith certain config-
urations of physical, em otional, and behavioral sym ptom s.
This m eaning reflects ongoing social and political dynam ics

fession of C hinese m edicine through decades of state-
sponsored TC M m odernization. The w ay in w hich a TC M

his new 2nd edition is designed
to serve as both a textbook for
students and an authoritative refer-
ence for TC M practitioners. The
introduction to the book traces the
historical evolution of the form ulas, and provides practical
pointers for their preparation and use. D etailed tim elines
depict the key events, authors, and texts in the 2,000-
year history of traditional C hinese herbal m edicine, plac-
ing the contents of this book in historical context.
The text includes over 800 m edicinal form ulas draw n
from both classical and m odern sources, and m ore than
tw ice the inform ation in the first edition. For each of the
340-plus principal form ulas there is a discussion of thera-
peutic actions and indications, an analysis of the functions
and interactions of the ingredients, the m ethod of prepa-
ration, and a list of m odifications to custom ize the form ula
in the clinic. O ver 460 variations and associated form ulas
offer additional options for the practitioner.
Form ula com m entaries have been considerably
expanded. H ere the intent is to deepen the readers
understanding of a form ulas genealogy, present an
overview of controversies regarding com position, usage,
and other issues, describe the extension of a form ulas
application to a w ider range of disorders, and provide key
clinical pointers to facilitate use of the form ula in the
m odern clinic. A new C om parisons section has been
added to help students and practitioners focus on the dis-
tinguishing characteristics of each form ula by contrasting it
w ith other form ulas that are sim ilar in term s of com posi-
tion or indication. Tables at the end of each chapter rein-
force these distinctions by com paring and contrasting for-
m ulas across a w ider range.
Am ong the appendices are a pinyin-to-English cross
reference to the form ulas, a basic sum m ary form ulary
correlated to sym ptom s and disorders, a full listing of all
books cited in the text, and a bibliography of all m odern

As before, the herbs are grouped in chapters by func-

ceutical, botanical, and fam ily nam es, together w ith its
C hinese, Japanese, Korean, and English com m on nam es.
Key characteristics of the herbs are given at the beginning
of each entry, along w ith dosage, properties, channels
entered, and relevant cautions and contraindications. The
actions and indications of the herb are presented, and
integrated w ith im portant com binations that illustrate its
various functions, w ith references to appropriate form u-
las. A section of com m entary offers additional perspec-
tive and places the herb in its clinical context. The m echa-
nism s of action underlying im portant herbal com binations,
and com parisons w ith sim ilar herbs provide a deeper
context for understanding how the herb can be used in
the clinic w ith optim al effect.
The utility of this book is enhanced by its w ide range of
appendices. Am ong them are color photographs com par-

com m on herbs; tables identifying herbs that are indicated
for specific pathologies of the five yin organs; and exten-

available m edicines have disappeared. Patent m edicines
are, for m any practitioners, the cornerstone of herbal

cines, carefully and correctly applied, can be as effective as
raw herb decoctions for m any com m on conditions. In

w hich are im proved com pliance, relatively low cost to the
patient, and a high degree of quality control.

presentation of 240 herbs and 350

color photographs of the herbs. Rather than illustrations of
living plants, this text show s the herbs as they appear in a

For each substance there is a concise selection of tech-

Pinyin, pharm aceutical Latin, and Japanese transcription.
Inform ation concerning origin includes the botanic fam ily,
the zoological, botanical, or m ineralogical entity or entities

or cultivation, and the instructions for recognizing the
highest quality herbs. M edical inform ation concerning each
substance includes nature, sapor, toxicity, channel entry,
function, indications. There is also inform ation provided
about the changes that are brought about w hen the sub-
stance is steam ed, stir-fried, etc. D aily dose, contraindica-

sim ilar agents are also provided. The 350 form ulas
described are based on the constituent substances pre-
sented in the text. D osage and the m ajor application of
each form ula are presented in a com pact, cross-refer-
enced form at. Preparation instructions, function, and indi-

betw een herbs in each form ula and the individual herb
discussions, m aking it easy to see w hich indications are
related to w hich specific herbs and how the herbs m ay be
varied in relation to a patients condition. This is a solid,
practical text that has been broadly used in both C hina

ade Rem edies is a com prehensive,
detailed and contem porary refer-
ence source for the rem edies used
in O riental herbal m edicine. Based
on m any years of research into historical and m odern
sources, it presents over 450 plant, m ineral, and anim al
rem edies used w orldw ide in C hinese m edicine. The
rem edies are divided into four types; restoratives,stim -
ulants,relaxants,and sedatives.The text provides up-
to-date inform ation on botanical sources, plant habits, bio-
chem istry, pharm acology, energetic properties, therapeutic
actions and indications, preparation form s, dosages, cau-
tions and contraindications. The prim ary rem edies are
illustrated w ith botanically accurate w ood-block prints of
the plants in the w ild from the Zhi W u M ing Shi Tu Kao of
1848, the C hinese m anual of m edicinal plant illustrations.
Jade Rem edies spells out clearly and concisely the func-
tions and uses of C hinese herbs in easily-understood
W estern term s. It sum m arizes, distills and evaluates the
m odern pharm acological uses of O riental rem edies by
W estern m edical doctors in East Asia, and organizes the
O riental m ateria m edica according to W estern body sys-
tem s rather than the traditional energetic treatm ent cate-
gories. Thus the inform ation on these rem edies sought by
the student, practitioner or researcher unfam iliar w ith
O riental m edicine is im m ediately available. As a W estern
rendition of the O riental m ateria m edica, Jade Rem edies
represents a m uch-needed com plem ent to the standard
O riental version (w hether in the W estern or C hinese lan-
guages).
N evertheless, for each rem edy the text retains the tra-
ditional usage by sym ptom picture, or pattern of dishar-
m ony-indications fam iliar to O riental practitioners. By
including W estern and O riental inform ation side-by-side, it
form s a valuable bridge betw een W estern and O riental
pathology and herbal therapeutics, allow ing practitioners
of both system s to better understand each others thera-
peutic rationales.
Volum e 2 is a continuation of the m ateria m edica, and
contains herbs for the m usculoskeletal, nervous, and
endocrine system s, and herbs for infection and tissue trau-
m a. This volum e also includes the m aster index for both
volum es, containing inform ation such as all the W estern
diseases, chem ical constitutents, and therapeutic selec-
tions, providing added utility to the text as a w hole.

hough in its early conception it
w as a sim ple product guide for a
proprietary herb line, this w ork
evolved to its current state as a
result of the authors belief that the
m odern practitioner needs educa-
tional m aterial that not only includes indications and func-
tions of the form ulas but that also ties this inform ation to
the roots of C hinese m edicine and the real w orld of the
clinic. To that end, its purpose is to help students and
practitioners see classical form ulas not as archaic and static
fossils of intellectual dogm a but as living, changeable
expressions of a natural philosophy. It is the authors hope
that the deeper understanding of C hinese m edicine gained
from appreciation of the form ulasorigins and evolution
w ill help practitioners successfully treat the com plex and
varied patterns that present in their practices.
The introduction includes both a section on how to
prescribe and dose herb concentrates, and a section that
describes the production of herb concentrates. The m ain
form ula section of the text presents functions, indications,
and ingredients for alm ost 300 form ulas (arranged alpha-
betically according to pinyin nam e), and includes textbook-
style discussion and m odification sections. Each form ula
discussion focuses on how the form ula is used in the clin-
ic, based on the evolution of its use from the tim e of its
source text to the present. The discussion and m odifica-
tions sections include both classical and m odern uses, and
seek to show the relationship betw een the tw o. W here
relevant, the form ula under discussion is com pared w ith
sim ilar form ulas, and guidelines for determ ining the cor-
rect form ula for a given situation are provided. The m ate-
rial in the discussion and m odifications sections is draw n
from the authors experience, the experience of the prac-
titioners w ith w hom he has studied, the source texts
(w hen available to the author), and com m entaries by
m odern authors. The book em phasizes clinical usage and
is an ideal com panion text to exhaustive form ulary texts, in
that it can give a slightly different perspective on form ulas
and supply additional inform ation about clinical applica-
tions.

hrough investigations of C hinese
characters and the reading of
alchem ical texts, the authors discov-
ered that the theory of the five spirits the shen, hun,
po, yi, and zhiw as m uch m ore than a story, that it w as
the core of an ancient spiritual psychology. By m elding this
discovery w ith the theories of W estern archetypal psy-
chology they began to decipher the ancient sym bols and
their obscure references and to reorganize them in a w ay
that has proven to be clinically invaluable in treating psy-
chosom atic, em otional, and psychospiritual distress.
The goal of this treatm ent m ethod is to restore com -
m unication betw een m ind and body and thus to bring a
person closer to the experience of their ow n w holeness
and connection to Tao. Treatm ent is a w ay to bring m ove-
m ent and consciousness to deadened, unconscious parts
of the being that are buried in the m atrix of the physical
body. It is also a w ay to call back parts of the being that
have flow n off and disassociated from sensory em bodied
experience. Restored com m unication occurs from the fos-
tering of an alchem ical or transform ational relationship
betw een the m ind, the im agination, and the vital functions
of the body. The tools include needles, m oxa, and touch,

reality and does not offer any quick fixes. The author per-

a handbook for understanding how certain sounds w ork
and how they can be used in healing. It gives a m ap that
helps to link the effects of sound on the body, the subcon-
scious, em otions, and thoughts. Sound treatm ents that
w ork on specific locations in the energy field, using tuning
forks, sm all cym bals, or voice, are the focus of this w ork,
bringing together the action of sound, subtle anatom y,
thoughts, em otions, and their associations to body parts,
as w ell as corroboration from recent findings in neuro-
science concerning the hum an brain and m usic. The
authors approach to the G reco-Aryan five elem ent sys-

standing of the links betew een nature, quality in m usical
expression, and the hum an com posite. This system con-

C hang's w ork in the m id- to late
1900's by Richard Tan, M iriam Lee,
and others. As a system , it uses points different from those
found in m ost present-day TC M acupuncture texts, and is
purported to predate the H uang D i N ei Jing, having been
passed dow n through teacher-student lineage for untold
generations. W hile m any of the Tung points are found on
the tw elve regular channels, they are in locations distinct
from the 360+ points presented in m odern TC M
acupuncture texts. They are also largely distinct from the
m iscellaneous "extra" or "non-channel" points described in
m ost contem porary TC M acupuncture texts.
The num ber of Tung Style Acupuncture points required
to successfully am eliorate any given ailm ent is few er than
that required in m ost current TC M acupuncture texts to
treat the sam e m alady. Tung Style Acupuncture does not
necessitate the use of the diagnostic m ethods or term inol-
ogy adopted by contem porary, herbalist-driven TC M
acupuncture. Furtherm ore, the clinical results obtained
using the Tung style often far surpass those achieved
through the use of TC M acupuncture, especially in the

century Japanese physician and heal-
er w hose clinical system , based in

This w ork introduces D r. M anakas m ajor clinical and
theoretical accom plishm ents by describing how w hat he
term s the X -signal system is the foundation of hum an
topology, function, and response. In essence, the X -signal
system defines qi, yin-yang, and the five phases as clinical
events, just as traditional O riental thinkers recognized
these ideas through right-brain pattern recognition. W hile
D r. M anaka references som e of the m ost advanced scien-
tific thinking of our era inform ation theory, holographic
m odels and new paradigm s his explanations are full of
practical tests w hich readers can use to confirm his ideas
for them selves.
The core of the text is a com plete description of D r.
M anakas treatm ent system . This is of great im portance,
not only because D r. M anaka w as recognized in both
Japan and C hina as one of the forem ost practitioners of
his generation,but also because the system has already
proven itself adaptable to m any others. It is thus a clinical
m anual of unique value because it describes D r. M anakas
m ost im portant techniques: ion pum ping and other root
treatm ents, as w ell as his distinctive use of fire needles,
channel stim ulation techniques, sotai, m oxibustion, and
other m odern C hinese and Japanese clinical develop-
m ents. Beginning w ith a step-by-step tem plate for form u-
lating and confirm ing a diagnosis, D r. M anaka provides the
instructions necessary to apply these techniques quickly
and w ith confidence. The text concludes w ith case histo-
ries and appendices that provide supporting technical
details.

Returning to France in 1917, Soulie de M orant spent

readably organized oversize pages. Volum e O ne describes
the energetics of acupuncture; Volum e Tw o, the applica-
tion of those energetics; Volum e Three, their relation to
physiology. Volum e Four sum m arizes the m eridians and
points, organizing inform ation around the classical con-
cepts of energy circulation, so that the reader perceives a
clinical range m uch greater than that found in m ore recent
English-language texts. Volum e Five, a detailed treatm ent
repertoire, is still the largest of its kind in a W estern lan-
guage. The inform ation has been m eticulously com piled
from w orks that are universally recognized as the epitom e
of C hinese clinical experience: the Zhen Jiu D a C heng,
the Zhen Jiu Yi X ue, theYi X ue Ru M en,and the Zhen Jiu
Yi Zi. Illnesses are presented as energetic categories, and
as organ, function, and body area groups. W ithin each of
these categories conditions are precisely defined and finely
differentiated.
This level of practical detail has been achieved only in
specialized sections of technical w orks, but never at this
scale. The book is universally recognized not only as a
unique and historic achievem ent but also as one of the
best, m ost detailed, and m ost practical of clinical texts. It
conveys the ideals of the C hinese m edical arts to W estern

Debra Betts
I
n this beautifully-designed clinical
textbook, acupuncturist D ebra
Betts draw s on m ore than 15 years
of experience specializing in the use
of acupuncture during pregnancy and childbirth.
Acupuncture is an ideal form of treatm ent in that it offers
w om en drug-free relief from a m ultitude of problem s that
can arise during this tim e. Even for conditions like m orning
sickness, sciatica and sym physis pubis pain, w hich are
often regarded as part of a norm al pregnancy, acupuncture
can not only im prove a w om ans quality of life, but also
prevent theses discom forts from becom ing serious
enough to necessitate m edical treatm ent.
Pre-birth acupuncture can enhance an efficient labor,
and the teaching of acupressure to a w om ans partner or
caregiver can m ake a great difference in the levels of pain
experienced during labor. D uring labor itself, acupuncture
can play a role in actively reducing the level of m edical
interventions such as inductions, forceps deliveries, and
caesarean sections. Acupuncture can provide effective
treatm ent for disorders such as pregnancy-induced hyper-
tension and posterior presentation, and help induce labor,
allow ing w om en to achieve natural childbirth.
Each topic is presented from both a W estern and tradi-
tional C hinese m edical perspective. The discussion of clini-
cal treatm ents reflects w hat has actually w orked in practice
for the author and the m idw ives she has w orked w ith.
The text is illum inated w ith clinical case histories, illustra-
tions, and color photographs.

inform ation a student or practi-

theoretical explanations and treat-
m ent system s based on the use of the eight extraordinary
vessels. The inform ation com es from highly successful
O riental scholars and practitioners. The reasoning and
research from w hich these treatm ent system s are derived
is detailed, beginning w ith the classical descriptions of
these vessels as the oceans of qi and blood.
D escriptions of the eight trajectories include starting
points, pathw ays, variant pathw ays, and branches. Eleven
full-page body charts illum inate the text and m ore than 50
tables sum m arize the trajectories, the m eeting points, and
the areas of diagnostic correspondence. C lassical extra
m eridian treatm ents are set out, w ith treatm ent styles that
are detailed in step-by-step presentations. Fascinating sys-
tem s that have been only partially or superficially reported
in the W est are fully explained. These system s include
plus-m inus needling, the C hinese system of body zones,
the use of bipolar m etals, m agnets, and electrically pulsed
m agnets. Sam ple treatm ents, illustrations of correspon-
dence and reflex areas, treatm ent tables, and diagram s
provide practical support. There is a m ajor treatm ent list
for the eight m aster-coupled points, w ith thousands of
indications for the points from Japanese, C hinese, English,
and G erm an texts. O rganized by body area or specific
condition, this reference perm its the practitioner to see
how the various indications relate to one another and
form groups. A final section describes the authorsexperi-

treatm ents w ith elem ent/stem diagnosis, scar treatm ent,

atic arrangem ent of study m aterial.
There are four system atic sections: M aterials and
M ethods, C hannel, Pathw ays, C hannels and Points, and
Approaches to Point Selection. The M aterials selections
have been adapted to W estern practice. H ow ever, the
techniques presented are those used by C hinese clinicians.
The m ethods of needle m anipulation and stim ulus m an-
agem ent are explained in clear, step-by-step procedures.
The inform ation in the channels section describes all the
channels, including the extraordinary channels, the m ain,
internal, branch, divergent, connecting, sinew , and alter-
nate pathw ays as they are currently understood in C hina.
The pathw ay-by-pathw ay descriptions are supported by
sketches that follow the C hinese sources.
M ain pathologic signs, therapeutic capacities, sym ptom s,
and TC M pattern relationships are detailed. Inform ation
provided for each point includes C hinese, Pinyin transliter-
ation, English translation, W estern alphanum eric designa-
tion, anatom ical location guide, and classical location. A full
set of point functions used in TC M to link diagnosis and
treatm ent are detailed. Each function organizes the sym p-
tom s presented using TC M concepts. The classical signs
and sym ptom s from w hich the m odern indications and
functions w ere derived, and prim ary and secondary indi-
cations and supplem entary functions are also presented.
The technical inform ation for each point includes needle
stim ulus, contraindications, needling depth and recom -
m ended technique, extent and duration of m oxibustion.
Special point groupings, such as the shu or m u points, are
also included. The last section provides a system atic pres-
entation of indications for a point. Reference tables sum -
m arize current C hinese clinical experience, em phasizing
principal points and their relation to TC M treatm ent prin-
ciples. H ow ever, the descriptions of classical m ethods of
point selection render a dim ension of inform ation that is
otherw ise unavailable.

P
oint nam es, the traditional m eans
for identifying acupoints, have
m eanings that are, like the w ind,
hard to grasp. Yet enfolded in these
often poetic w ords is a utility that involves the com plex
associations derived from the evolution of the C hinese
language and the vast array of therapeutic analogies found
in traditional m edical w orks.
In discussing the point nam es, the authors exam ine the
m eaning, context, and significance of each acupuncture
point to prom ote understanding of the points use in
acupuncture practice. G uidelines for understanding the
nature and structure of the C hinese language are offered,
along w ith discussions of the C hinese rationale for nam ing
points and point groupings. The reasoning for selecting the
English nam es is offered so that readers m ay adapt the
nam es for their ow n use. Each of the 363 points covered
is listed according to the system currently used in C hina.
D escriptions include the nam e in C hinese characters, in
Pinyin, and in English. The classical location according to
m ajor C hinese texts, the associated point groupings, an
explanation of point functions, and classical energetic asso-
ciations are also noted. Further detail is provided by inclu-
sion of channel relationships, five-phase relationships, and
qi functions. Additional notes detail linguistic and practical
considerations that have accrued to the point over tim e.
Alternate nam es for the point are given, again in C hinese,
Pinyin, and English. Indexes provide stroke order listings,
point group nam es, and point lists for each character. A
glossary of all the characters used in point nam es provides
a definition for each C hinese character. This book provides
m uch valuable theoretical and therapeutic inform ation.

his w ork presents the theory
and practice of abdom inal diag-
nosis w ith the greatest care ever
applied to an im portant diagnostic
technique. Beginning w ith an histori-
cal and cultural perspective on the use of palpation in gen-
eral, and abdom inal palpation in particular, the book details
the inform ation required to m aster and extend the tech-
niques presented. Introductory chapters concern the role
of the em otional, m ental, and spiritual aspects of C hinese
m edicine. D etailed etym ologies, historical context, and
classical sources are used to acquire a greater insight into
hun, po, zhi, jing, and shen, as w ell as m any other sem inal
concepts.
The text offers an exceptionally w ell detailed explo-
ration of interior m eridian pathw ays and the role of classi-
cal C hinese energetic anatom y, including concepts such as
source and origin. This is follow ed by a description of the
anatom y and physiology of the bodys energetically active
fascial system , draw n from the latest W estern studies, that
establishes the authorsrationale for acupuncture based in
a com plex biological inform ation system . D etailed, step-
by-step procedures for practical diagnosis and therapy are
accom panied by profuse illustrations and useful case histo-
ries.
The treatm ent system s described are coordinated
through the abdom inal patterns and are staged from the
general to the specific. Therapies and techniques include
hara shiatsu, sotai and breathing exercises, and five-phase
treatm ents. C lear instructions are provided for using
M anakas ion pum ping cords, m u point diagnosis, O -ring
diagnosis, and secondary diagnostic and treatm ent strate-
gies such as palm diagnosis. The text concludes w ith a full
description of biorhythm ic treatm ent procedures draw n
from the D a C heng and D r. M anakas practice. This chap-
ter contains the inform ation necessary to use the bio-
rhythm s, including tables for the bi-hourly and daily m erid-
ian rhythm s, stem -branch rhythm s, the ten-day cycle of
the phases and source points, and the sixty-day cycle of
the extraordinary vessels. The point associations are
detailed, as are the selection procedures.
The text presents everything that is required for a prac-
titioner to begin clinical application. H ara D iagnosisis
replete w ith useful therapeutic and diagnostic inform ation,
clinical and theoretical insight, and approaches to the
understanding of acupuncture that draw East and W est
ever closer. It is the first text generated in the U .S. that
has been favorably received by Japanese practitioners.

eridian therapy is a style of
Japanese acupuncture distin-
guished by its em phasis on the clas-
sics, its utilization of five-phase logic
in treatm ent and its concentration on the root of disease.
W hile theoretically concise, its practitioners practice the
skills of observation, palpation, point location and needle
technique as fine arts. D iagnosis centers on the acute
observation of both objective and subjective signs.
Shudos presentation includes essential theoretical and
historical inform ation, diagnostic techniques, and treatm ent
strategies. Pulse and abdom inal diagnosis are introduced
and case histories from the authorsclinical practice are
used to exem plify these them es. The book covers the his-
tory, theoretical foundations, and practical clinical associa-
tions of m eridian therapy. The discussion of the four
exam inations that follow s is unique in its sensitivity to
detail. This concentration on finely resolved detail, reflect-
ing the heart of m eridian treatm ent itself, is continued in
discussions of abdom inal diagnosis, pattern identification,
and point location. The discussion of patterns, their m ean-
ing and intent, is unique. This text is a rare opportunity to
acquire an understanding of a refined clinical approach.

hese three volum es present
acupuncture as a technique that
treats disease filtered w ith a scientific
approach on the basis of anatom y
and physiology. Volum e 1 deals w ith m usculoskeletal dis-
orders. It includes a brief sum m ary and desciption of
TC M , of the basic m eridians, of standard nom enclature,
and of the biochem ical m echanism involved. Acupuncture
as a physical therapy and its utility in pain m anagem ent and
norm alization of the AN S are discussed, along w ith the
therapeutic strategies of neuro-anatom ical acupuncture.
Treatm ent form ularies of points are presented foranatom i-
cal areas. There are clearly labelled and rendered illustra-
tive draw ings depicting point locations from a surface,
m uscle, and skeletal justaposition. Sets of tables identify
m eridian, acupuncture point, and location, and other
tables identify innervation correlations for m uscle, action,
peripheral nerve, spinal segm ent, and acupuncture point.
Volum e 2 deals w ith neurological disorders. Separate
chapters describe the clinical anatom y of the head, the
face, and the cranial nerves. C hapters on head pain,
stroke, Parkinsonism , M S, Alzheim ers, C P, spasticity,
peripheral neuropathies, and spinal cord disorders denote
etiology and pathogenesis and sym ptom s and signs for
each condition. Acupuncture treatm ent point form ularies
are presented in tables that list point and action. Further
chapters present discussions and acupuncture treatm ents
for reflex sym pathetic dystropy, Raynauds disease, and
acupuncture control of the AN S.
Volum e 3 is a review of TC M w ith a W estern m edicine
interpretation. It m akes TC M classical m ethodology easily
com prehensive for those w ith biom edical backgrounds,
thus helping to insert TC M into the W estern m edical prac-
tice in a sim ple, easy, and m ore effective w ay. It is an

Thomas Dey
T
his book w as intended for prac-
titioners of TC M in m ainland
C hina as an introduction to schizo-
phrenia (from the W estern perspec-
tive) and a review of the TC M treatm ents being used in
treating not only schizophrenia, but all m ental diseases. Its
central focus is not on the utility of acupuncture and TC M
in treating m ental diseases, but on an exam ination of the
best w ay to apply the treatm ents. Besides giving a thor-
ough review of historical treatm ents, it has a fascinating
section on com bining treatm ents; w hen an expensive drug
or a treatm ent w ith severe side effects can be used in a
fractional dosage and supplem ented by acupuncture or
other traditional C hinese treatm ents, the results are truly
w orthy of exploration.
Although the text introduces the varieties of schizophre-
nia according to the param eters of W estern biom edical
understanding, in TC M disorders of this type are consid-
ered to be the result of invasions of the six environm ental
excesses. Thus the book gives attention to an exposition
of these factors, as w ell as to tw o additional categories of
cause- dam age from intem perance of the seven affects,
and other factors including inherited and fetal pathocondi-
tions. Treatm ent protocols for each condition are provid-
ed, including techniques such as electrostim ulation and
large needle and deep puncture techniques on the body,
as w ell as facial, ear and scalp puncture; fluid injection
therapy, point suture em bedding therapy, point grasping
and cupping therapy, vessel pricking and laser therapy, and
co-therapy w ith C hinese and/or W estern drugs.

he m eridian test (or "M -test") is
a pow erful assessm ent, treat-
m ent, and self-care system that can
be used to im prove athletic per-
form ance and physical fitness. It sim -
plifies the assessm ent of strain and
injury so that even nonacupuncturists and athletes can
learn to apply m assage and stretching m ore effectively. It
uses the m eridian system to analyze the m ovem ents of
m ultiple joints and m uscles in a holistic w ay. The m ost
suitable m eridians for treatm ent are identified by evaluat-
ing a sequence of m ovem ents. Flexibility and ease of
m ovem ent in relation to the m eridians are assessed to
identify the areas and m uscles that need treatm ent.
Based on this assessm ent, the synergistic action of the
joints and m uscles involved in the m ovem ents can be facil-
itated w ith acupuncture, m assage, or stretching. This sys-
tem is com patible w ith the traditional understanding of the
m eridians, but takes it a step further to clarify the relation-
ship betw een the m eridians and m ovem ent. It helps prac-
titioners select treatm ent and identify the m ost effective
points for dealing w ith pain and restricted m ovem ent.
The M -Test can be used to evaluate the results of treat-
m ent or the stretching regim en so that a better strategy
can be form ulated if the results are unsatisfactory. In addi-
tion, athletes can learn stretching M -Test techniques and
m ovem ents before or even during com petition to identify
and correct abnorm alities to im prove their perform ance
and prevent injuries.

authors have organized inform ation
provided by the research and personal cooperation of
scholars, scientists, and clinicians, to produce a survey text
w hich is exclusively draw n from peer-review ed literature
and extensively referenced.
The first tw o chapters describe acupunctures ancient
and m odern history, and em phasize its continual adapta-
tion to the needs of East Asian populations and the refine-
m ent of Asian m ethods of problem -solving. The third
chapter discusses the basic theories of traditional m edi-
cine, not as clinical instructions, but as expressions of Asias
refinem ent of naked-sense observation and the relation-
ships of system atic correspondence. C hapters Four and
Five consider the basic science and clinical efficacy of
acupuncture. These chapters contain the first convenient-
ly-accessible analyses of scientific w ork on acupuncture
and openly discuss the biases that have affected scientific
judgem ents. C hapter Six describes patient assessm ent,
again, not as the clinical protocols of a particular school of
practice but as a set of broadly shared intellectual and
observational skills. This is also true of the follow ing chap-
ter w here the authors present the central therapies of
acupuncture in a fram ew ork em bracing the trem endous
variety of the field.
The authors conclude w ith a challenging assessm ent of
the current econom ic status of acupunctures pioneer
institutions relative to the fields need to sustain its integrity
in m assive W estern m edical m arkets and delivery and
education system s. The back m atter contains inform ation

Mending the Web of Life
P, 250 pp, $21.95
Elizabeth Call
T
he author addresses loss of bio-
diversity as m anifested in the
w orld of C hinese m edicine, specifi-
cally the non-sustainable use of
endangered species in form ulas.
The process that infuses C hinese
m edicine seeks to w ork w ith nature, com plem ent body
processes, and reconnect and integrate the physiological and
psychological possibilities w ithin the entire being. M ost
C hinese m edicine practitioners actively use their five senses in
patient evaluation. ... The organic approach of C hinese m edi-
cine fosters the use of intuition, integrated w ith critical think-
ing, academ ic know ledge, and practical experience.
U nfortunately, a split from nature also has occurred in
C hinese m edicine, the philosophy of w hich is applied only in
clinical practice. For exam ple, som e C hinese doctors justify
their use of endangered anim als, because they insist that peo-
ple are m ore im portant than anim als. This position ignores the
contributions of nature to people and w edges people and
nature in conflicting opposition. So, w hile these individuals do
not consider hum ans to be isolated from nature, they place
hum ans in the central position (m uch like in the W est), w hich
m aintains their distance from the w eb of life.
This is a thoughtful, thoroughly researched book that
w ill not only be of interest to any student or practitioner in
the field, but w ill serve as an im portant rem inder of the
vast and m utifaceted responsibilities of the healer that m ay
focus on the patient but that extend to the species, the
planet, and beyond.

all healthcare practitioners (espe-

authors goal is to articulate the underlying science that

care that is holistic in the best sense of the w ord.
Early chapters present discussions on the philosophy
and science of TC M , the body-m ind netw ork and cancer
as a system ic disease; integration of TC M into cancer sup-
portive care, biological response m odification, and
enhancem ent of im m unity. Further chapters explore psy-

vention, sym ptom control and side effects m anagem ent in
anti-cancer therapies, and psycho-spiritual elem ents of

he authors explicate the different
view of life inherent in C hinese
m edicine by m etaphorically com par-
ing the C hinese doctor as a garden-
er to the W estern physician as a
m echanic. W ithin this context, C hinese m edical concepts
such as yin-yang, qi, m oisture and blood, organ netw orks,
and the five phases em erge as im ages that readers can
understand experientially, not sim ply as cold abstractions.
Each im age calls upon concepts and ideas w ith consid-
erable force in m odern thought: relativity, holism , m odels,
and paradigm s. From this basis, five broad character types
are developed: the Pioneer, w ho is determ ined to m ake
things happen; the W izard, w ho searches for m agic and
excitem ent; the Peacem aker, w ho strives to harm onize
the w orld; the Alchem ist, w ho m asters form and function;
and the Philosopher, w ho is relentless in the pursuit of
truth. Each archetype is a com posite im age of the
strengths and w eaknesses, the physical and m ental quali-
ties and attributes, that are associated w ith one of the five
phases. The final section of the text describes acupuncture
and herbal m edicine therapies. O ne section includes fifty
points for self-care, a practical selection of prepared herbal
form ulas, and a description of how diet can be applied to
health. The w hole text is thoroughly readable. W hile
designed for the layperson, it provides a language of

F
ritz Sm ith is the founder of Zero
Balancing. In his latest book,
Alchem y of Touch,he uses the
lensof zero balancing to help prac-
titioners m ove tow ard m astery in
energy-based body w ork. Rather
than a procedural m anual, Alchem y of Touch is a guide to
the universal principles of using touch to heal and enable
ourselves and others.
The book begins w ith a fascinating description of D r.
Sm iths ow n spiritual journey and aw akening to the pow er
of spirit and the benefit of touch. In his experiences w ith
Ida Rolf, J.R. W orsley, and initiation by Sw am i M uktananda,
w e see the roots of Zero Balancing in the on-going reve-
lation of his life. By sharing his personal journey in his ow n
w ords, he establishes a foundation that invites the reader
into a deeper exploration of touch and healing.
That deeper exploration takes the form of seven Zero
Balancing sessions reported in tw o coordinated w ays, first
as the objective description of the session by experienced
practitioners and observers, next, as the subjective
im pressions of the recipient. This unique form at aptly illus-
trates the relationship betw een the body w ork and practi-
tioner interaction w ith the experience of the recipient. W e
see how a fulcrum , a breath, or a w ell-tim ed question or
instruction results in a deeper physical, em otional, and
spiritual experience.
Each of the seven session chapters is interspersed w ith
Fritzs expert observations about body w ork. U sing Zero
Balancing as a focus for experience, Fritz engages topics
that broaden and deepen our understanding of the essen-
tial interchanges in body w orkfor exam ple, energetic
fields and their relationship to the body-m ind, the integra-
tion of energy and structure, how m em ory is retained in
the body, and the various alchem ies of body w ork. Like
yin and yang, these alternating chapters m ake an integrat-
ed w hole that advances our understanding of the body
and our influences upon it.

Michael Shea
T
his w ork offers a sw eeping view
of craniosacral therapy technique
beginning w ith its historical roots and
extending to its current success in
healing core problem s of the spirit

craniosacral therapy, w ith its em phasis on literally m oving
the tension-filled fluids in the m em branes in and around
the brain and spinal cord, w ill help the body to decom -
press and release stress caused by m aldistribution of fluids.
W orking w ith different states of consciousness based on
D ynam ic Stillness as the foundation for all healing, the
author describes this delicate, subtle touch and state of
m ind as the dom ain of subjective experience that consti-
tutes the art and craft of biodynam ic craniosacral therapy.
Em phasizing a holistic treatm ent of the body that starts
w ith the physical and m oves on to the psychological and
em otional, the author posits that fulfilling your deepest self
requires a sim ple reconnection w ith your em bryonic m an-
ifestation. H e articulates the deep intelligence that under-
lies patterns of suffering and disease. D raw ing inspiration
from both science and the spiritual traditions, he unfolds
an understanding of the prim ary forces that organize our
form and function. To quote Franklyn Sills, Shea brings us
not only to the heart of the biodynam ic approach but to
its archetypal and spiritual roots. H e covers so m uch terri-
tory that a good slow read and reread is not only required
but essential to allow the sw eep of the m aterial to enter.

olution, psychodynam ics, and sham anism , and offers prac-
tical m editations, visualizations, and clinical skills to facilitate

he m ost significant cause of early
retirem ent from the m assage
profession is the cum ulative strain on
the body over the course of per-

years has been accom panied by an increase in the num -
ber of w ork-induced problem s. Practitioners can strain
their hands, particularly their thum bs, fingers, and w rists,
as w ell as their shoulders and back.
This book highlights aspects of m assage that can lead to
these problem s, and offers guidance for their avoidance.
The focus is on how to use your body safely and effective-
ly in m assage sessions, including involving your w hole
body to generate the pow er and m ovem ent that supports
your w orking hands, saving your hands by using them skill-
fully, and converving them by using other body areas such
as forearm s and elbow s w henever possible.

sage for over 30 years and training professionals in m as-
sage therapy for 25 years. The dual focus of the w ork
explains how to use your hands/forearm s to deliver an
effective m assage; and how to use your body to support
these w orking tools. The potential problem s of different
w orking situations are covered: at the m assage table, w ith
the client seated or lying on a futon on the floor,and w ith
the practitioner standing, seated, or kneeling. The text is
com plete and highly illustrated, w ith m ultiple photos on

WilliamWeintraub
I
n 25 years of practicing
structural/osteopathic m anual ther-
apy the author has done consider-
able w ork w ith seriously dam aged
tendons and ligam ents, and has
achieved results that conventional m edicine w ould rate as
im probable. O ver tim e, he has developed a therapeutic
m odel for treating these injuries so that individuals w ith
chronic conditions w ho have exhausted the standard
physiotherapy options and are facing surgery can have
a viable option for recovery.
H is techniques, based on basic principles of structural
healthcare, em phasize the im portance of precise anatom i-
cal focus and the capacity to w ork w ith subtle changes of
structure. O f essential im portance is com bining detailed
specific treatm ent of the sm all fibers and tissues of the
local injury area w ith an overall approach to im proving
larger body patterns and tensions. Logically, the respon-
siveness and self-corrective capacity of body tissues w hen
given proper conditions is also an im portant factor.
The prim ary techniques used are the osteopathic m eth-
ods of strain-counterstrain, cranial and visceral osteopathy,
and fascial release, as w ell as body-m ind centering, zero
balancing, and acupressure. H is clinical m odel, w hich rep-
resents a new approach to serious, chronic tendon and
ligam ent injuries, is based on these techniques, their com -
binations and specific usage, and the skills and aptitudes
necessary for applying these techniques, including certain
perceptual skills and a thorough know ledge of anatom y
and kinesiology.
W eintraub discusses at great length the nature of the
tendons and ligam ents, describes his m anual therapy
m odel com paring it w ith conventional m edical proce-
dures and covers processes and tissue changes in ten-
don/ligam ent healing as related to m anual therapy. C ase
studies, self-help strategies, and thoughtful w ords on clini-
cal efficacy and future directions in the field m ake for a
thorough and w ell-rounded presentation.

describes and defines craniosacral
therapy and his system of som ato-

sim ilar to chiropractice in attention to organization of the
bones, but subtler and m ore energy based; sim ilar to
acupuncture in transm ission of a discrete signal to body
w ide system s that have lost or distorted their natural heal-

hom eopathy (in m icrodoses) and psychoanalysis (in ability

iosacral system com bined w ith positive im aging from

body. D eveloping the soul body is
the preparation for the grow th of
the im m ortal spirit body in the practice of the G reater
Enlightenm ent of Kan and Li. The Lesser Enlightenm ent of
Kan and Li practice com bines the com passion of the heart
energies (yang/fire) w ith sexual energies originating in the
kidneys (yin/w ater) to form and feed the soul or energy
body. Practice of the C hinese form ula Siaow Kan Li (yin
and yang m ixed) uses darkness technology to literally
steam the sexual energy (jing) into life-force energy (chi)
by reversing the location of yin and yang pow er. This
inversion places the heat of the bodily fire from the heart
center beneath the coolness of the bodily w ater of the
sexual energy of the perineum , thereby activating the lib-

2012 the Return of
Quetzalcoatl
H,, 406 pp, $26.95
Daniel Pinchbeck
A
ccording to the sacred calendar
of the M ayan and Toltec civiliza-
tions of M esoam erica, 2012 signifies
the end of a "G reat C ycle" of m ore
than five thousand years, the conclu-
sion of one w orld age and the beginning of the next. The
hypothesis the author proposes is that the com pletion of
the G reat C ycle and the return of Q uetzalcoatl are arche-
types, and their underlying m eaning points tow ard a shift
in the nature of the psyche. H um anity faces an im m inent
decision betw een greater self-potential and catastrophic
ruin. A potential transform ation of consciousness on this
scale w ould lead to the rapid creation, developm ent, and
dissem ination of new institutions and social structures, cor-
responding to new levels of m ind and a harm onic, even
utopian, situation on the earth.
Such a transition can be approached sensibly, and has in
fact been carefully prepared by our history. At the sam e
tim e, our active engagem ent is required to m ake it hap-
pen. A change in the nature of the psyche w ould be at
first a subtle and invisible process, yet eventually such a
m ind shift w ould have results in the physical w orld just as
real as current headline events. Intriguing and w ell-
researched, this is a kaleidoscopic tour de force through
the range of philosophy and consciousness that w eaves
together the realm s of hum an im agination and the harsh
realities of incipient global catastrophe. Pinchbeck's inner
journey is com pelling, fam iliar, and redem ptive, his conclu-
sions robust, original, and optim istic.

and rem em bering the potential for good in every person.

t has been know n for som e tim e
that our thoughts influence our
health. H ow ever, the extent of this
discovery is taken to a new dim en-
sion in this groundbreaking w ork that is based on the
experiences of its tw o authors, in w orking w ith the I
C hing. H ealth, not illness, is the natural standard for the
body. O ur body functions through a harm onious coopera-
tion betw een the consciousnesses of all the various organs
and bodily system s. The root causes of illness are to be
found in ideas and beliefs that are in conflict w ith w hat our
body know s on its deepest level through the D N A that is
em bedded in every body cell. Ill health is caused first by
thoughts that m ake us vulnerable to illness through dis-
abling our natural defenses. O nce w e have becom e vul-
nerable, other kinds of sick-m aking ideas and beliefs can
enter and m anifest in specific illnesses. This book show s
how to recognize such beliefs and deprogram them w ith
C osm ic help. The result is that our self-healing abilities are
restored and our body, freed from the burden of sick-
m aking thoughts, springs back to health. At a tim e of dras-
tically increasing costs for conventional health care, this
book enables its reader to take m atters of healing back
into their ow n hands.

T
his new version of the I C hing is
radically different from traditional
versions, in that the contradictions
created by overw ritings, particularly
by scholars of the C onfucian school,
have been identified and separated from the oracle text.
O ver a period of four years, asking thousands of questions
and using the Retrospective-Three-C oin M ethod, the
authors queried the Sagethe O racle of the I C hingto
verify w ith a Yes/N o answ er if their understanding of the
lines and hexagram s w as correct. The reader w ho learns
from this book how to use this m ethod of querying the
O racle w ill have the advantage of being able to verify for
them selves w hether the C osm ic view the authors have
show n is correctly rendered. For the authors this m ethod
of study and query rem oved from their ow n m inds m isun-
derstandings that stood in the w ay of their finding, explor-
ing, and developing the w onders of their ow n natures.
Their im pression grew that the O racle w anted to liberate
them , and hum ans generally, from the m indset of the
young fool,a reflection of the cultural training to be
shepherded throughout life by hum an authorities, and to
help seekers grow into fully responsible, fully realized
beings. To the authors, consulting the I C hing does not
m ean consulting a book of ancient w isdom , rather it
m eans consulting the O racle of the I C hing as an alive
consciousness that w ishes to com m unicate in the context
of the enquirers tim e and circum stances. This is a w on-
derful and different exposition the I C hing, full of richly
rew arding insights and thoughtful discussions.

decades, the w ay children in
developed countries understand and
experience nature has changed radi-
cally. Today, kids are aw are of the
global threats to the environm ent,
but their physical contact, their intim acy w ith nature, is
fading. A kid today can likely tell you about the Am azon
rainforest, but not about the last tim e he or she explored
the w oods in solitude, or lay in a field listening to the w ind
and w atching the clouds m ove.
This book explores the increasing divide bew een the
young and the natural w orld, and the environm ental,
social, psychological, and spiritual im plications of that
change. It also describes the accum ulating research that
reveals the necessity of contact w ith nature for healthy
childand adultdevelopm ent. It explores an alternative
path to the future, including som e of the m ost innovative
environm ent-based school program s; a reim agining and
redesign of the urban environm ent; w ays of addressing
the challenges besetting enviornm ental groups; and w ays
that society can help reclaim nature as part of the spiritual
developm ent of children and the spiritual fulfillm ent of

text that provides a system atic
hom e-study course for property

others w ho w ant to use feng shui to select, m odify, or
build a hom e or w orkspace. It guides readers through
techniques of the Landform school for evaluating the
external environm ent (including protective influences,
avoiding destructive energy, and receiving benevolent
energy) and techniques of the C om pass school to chart
the pattern of energy in the internal environm ent (includ-
ing building shape, appearance, floor plan, and architectur-
al features). It provides inform ation for taking readings w ith
the geom antic com pass (lo-pan), and includes a com pass
that can be copied and constructed for personal use.
Readers are given nine-cycle diagram s, step-by-step
instructions, and study problem s for determ ining the indi-
vidual chart of a specific building, based on its year of con-
struction (or reconstruction), its facing star and palace, and
its m ountain star. The book includes inform ation on types
of geom antic charts, and how to superim pose the chart to
your structure and interpret it for your building. Further
chapters delve into evaluating and planning space usage,
m atching occupants to a house, placem ent of furniture,
installing counterm easures and enhancers, dealing w ith
renovations, and choices and m easures w hen building a
new house or choosing and designing a living or w orking
space. It is fair to say, as does Yap C heng H ai in the fore-

WayneTeasdale
D
raw ing on his extraordinary
experience as an interreligious
m onk and m ystic, Brother W ayne
Teasdale explores w hat he calls inter-
spirituality, a genuine and com pre-
hensive spirituality that draw s on the
m ystical core of the w orlds great religious traditions. H e
describes this age as the birth into a new aw areness, a new
set of historical circum stances that is evidenced by a num -
ber of shifts in our collective understanding. From this spiri-
tual vantage, he show s that w hat so often form s the basis
for conflict can really be a m eeting place of understanding.
Teasdale explains the pow er of a universal spirituality and its
eight practical elem ents: solidarity w ith all life, m oral capaci-
ty, nonviolence, self-know ledge, selfless service, sim plicity
of lifestyle, daily practice, and serving as a prophetic w itness
in the causes of justice, peace, and protecting creation.
Through scholarship, stories, and personal practice,
Teasdale dem onstrates that the final goal of authentic spiri-
tuality is realizing ones true nature as a m ystic one w ho
lives in the presence of the superconscious, in the reality of
the ultim ate, divine m ystery, w ho has also integrated the
conscious, self-conscious, unconscious, and superconscious
levels in the depths of being.

E
ckhart Tolle is one of the leading

opportunity to fulfill our purpose and
destiny and bring a new dim ension

from our current ego identification to an evolutionary and
transform ational shift in consciousness. Tolle explicates
how this transform ation can occur not only in ourselves,
but in the w orld around us, and describes in practical

John Lamb Lash
L
ong before the birth of
C hristianity, m onotheism w as an
anom aly; Europe and the N ear East
flourished under the divine guidance
of Sophia, the ancient goddess of
w isdom . The Earth w as the em bodim ent of Sophia and
thus sacred to the people w ho sought fulfillm ent in her
presence. This ancient philosophy w as threatening to the
em erging salvation-based creed of C hristianity that w as
based on patriarchal dom inion over the Earth and lauded
personal suffering as a path to the afterlife. Lash relates
how this little-know n m essianic sect propelled itself into a
dom inant w orld pow er, system atically w iping out the great
G nostic spiritual teachers, the D ruid priests, and the
sham anistic healers of Europe and N orth Africa. Their
zealous follow ers burned libraries and destroyed tem ples
in an attem pt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep
their ow n secrets. Lash delves deeply into the shadow s of
ancient G nostic w ritings to reconstruct the story early
C hristians tried to scrub from the pages of history, explor-
ing the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituali-
tythe Pagan M ysteries, the G reat G oddess, G nosis, the
m yths of Sophia and G aia, and m apping a (re) vision of the
future of sacred ecology and spiritual practice.

On Becoming an Alchemist

T
hough w hat som e readers m ay
take from reading this book is an
appreciation of transform ational
aspects of consciousness, w hat the
author assures us is that alchem y is
no m etaphor for inner transform a-
tion; it is real m agic. Transform ing the inner w orld is, for
the alchem ist, a w ay to transform the outer w orld.
Through studying the principles of alchem y, w e can
achieve extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by
understanding how the w orld really w orks. W e can per-
ceive the hidden connections betw een the spiritual and
the m aterial w orlds. Know ledge of these connections
enables us to influence external phenom ena through the
pow ers of heart and m ind alone. Yet alchem y is not, like
som e form s of m agic, the exercise of m ind over m attter. It
is the art of taking w hat already exists--w hatever presents
itself--and transm uting the harm ful into the helpful, the
useles into the valuable. The author's w ritten expression is
an alchem y of its ow n, for it is inspiring, insightful, and
evocative. An appendix on m indfulness m editation is deli-
cate and deft. In your individual journey of aw akening, you
m ay find it a useful guide for the expansion of subtle acuity
and perception, intuition, and equanim ity. In any case, you
are likely to enjoy reading this book and m ay find it affects
you in unforseen w ays.

Perfect Brilliant Stillness

David Carse
This book w ill tell you that ideas

of spiritual enlightenm ent are
absurd, because its quite obvious
that neither you nor anything else
has ever existed. ... The subject
m atter is such that only a very few w ill be interested in it.
W hat is w ritten about here, if it is really understood, is so
genuinely strange that it is on the far edge of w hat the
norm al hum an brain can com prehend or accept. ...So
again, a w arning. W ith any luck, you w ill not com e back
from this w ith a life you can call your ow n; youw ill not
com e back at all. Theres no w ay to know w hat the
chances are of this happening, but the U panishads say that
only once in a thousand thousand years does a soul w ake
up,so theres probably no need for concern. Probably.
That said, enjoy.

W
isdom keepers are the guardians of
natures m ysteries w ithin the Lakota
cerem onies and their practices, the m edicine that is ruled by
them , the songs that infuse our senses and our spiritual
body, and the forces they produce that are identical to
nature and its m otivating pow er. These oral and entirely
spontaneous transm issions, given by the three holy m en, Joe
Flying By, D ave C hief, and Leroy C urley, are a rare treasure
of the highest generosity, directed for the greatest good.
Their stories are told w ith com plete equanim ity, vividly con-
veying, w ithout rancor or judgem ent, how W estern civiliza-
tion lacks connection to the natural w orld. Because passing
on eldersw isdom in the oral tradition to the next genera-
tion is alm ost im possible, given the fact that the three im por-
tant elem ents of the Lakota culturethe land, the people,
and the languageare all but gone, the film s producer/
director has provided a great service to those w ho have an
interest in, and w ish to learn from , ancient N ative Am erican
teachings that have rarely been exposed.

Aura Soma Sourcebook
P, 295 pp, $24.95
MikeBooth, Carol McKnight
A
ura-som a, a non-intrusive, self-
selective soul therapy, is a new
paradigm in healing that is based on
recognizing the inherent w isdom in
each individual. It respects and sup-
ports that inner know ing, allow ing
each individual to create a reflection of self, of being and
requirem ent, through attraction to certain color com bina-
tions. Because these selections are m ade from a place of
superconsious know ing, they reflect a soul choice, not
sim ply a m om entary attraction. C onnection to a transcen-
dent aspect of the self is the key to choosing the colors of
the Equilibirum bottles in the Aura-Som a system . The four
dual-colored com binations can both reveal us to ourselves
and replenish us. W hat w e give out to the w orld is w hat
w e need to have supported and replenished. Aura-Som a
teaches us that the colors w e choose reveal w ho w e are
and w hat w e need, so as to strengthen and allow for ful-
fillm ent of potential. The books color photos alone are
uniquely beautiful. The photography has m atched the dual
colors in each bottle w ith stunning photos from nature.
Biogeneology, Decoding the
Psychic Roots of Illness
P, 180 pp, $14.95
Patrick Obissier
T
his book proposes a new w ay to
look at illness through an explo-
ration of the idea that illness is a
physical response to a past em otion-
al traum a. It explores the idea that
the extant illness can be either a result of a persons ow n
traum a, or of a traum a experienced by an ancestor and
passed dow n in fam ilial genetic code or epigenetic organi-
zation. This construct is called biological decoding.To
evolve, individuals have the capability to use their prob-
lem s or illnesses to trace their lives back to the lives of
their ancestors,. By rediscovering the am bience of their
origins, individuals can finally discover w hat debts they
ow e, pay them off, and choose the path m ost optim al to
m eet their individual, specific needs.
O bissier discusses the appearance of the illness princi-

his book tells tw o stories. O ne is
the story of the em ergence of a

branch of academ ic m edicine. The
second is the equally fascinating tale
of w hy the w hole subject of energy m edicine has been so
confusing and controversial in the pastw hy there is the
paradox of w idespread academ ic skepticism and m yopia
about therapeutic approaches based on concepts of ener-

people.
O schm an has produced an exciting and ground-break-
ing w ork that can help readers resolve this confusion and
controversy by offering approaches to the understanding

Healing Power of
Neurofeedback
P, 432 pp, $19.95
Stephen Larsen
T
he goal of achieving an optim al
functional psychological state isnt
a m atter of finding the right drug to
balance neurotransm itters, but
rather restoring flexibility to the
brain. Though injuries m ay leave a scar, the adaptive brain
can w ork around such setbacks and achieve new flexibility.
The key to this is to introduce the brain to m ethods of
inner self-m anagem ent, such as the Low Energy
N eurofeedback System (LEN S) presented here. LEN S
adapts and m irrors the brain-generated frequencies, and
has produced phenom enal results not just for adults but
for young children and anim als as w ell. LEN S practitioners
facilitate recovery from w hat are often severe and untreat-
able neurological conditions. For a particular class of physi-
cal problem s, very sm all doses of brain w ave biofeedback
carried on w isps of electrom agnetic fields to the brain
allow the rebirth of function. C ontributions include articles
on successful protocols and results treating traum atic brain
injury and spinal injury; cerebral palsy, autism , Aspergers,
AD D /AD H D , and learning disabilities; fibrom yalgia, lym e
disease, and C FS; anxiety, depression, O C D , phobia, and
bipolar disorder; epilepsy, Tourettes, and tics; PTSD and

his book fuses traditional
O riental m edicine w ith ancient

ing pathw ay of the Seven Journeys,
an ancient teaching that speaks of
the H eart having seven m agical orifices. These are not
physical connections to the veins and arteries but rather
m etaphorical apertures that open up the reveal w onders
of insight, health, and understanding. They are called the
Eyes of the H eart, and they are pathw ays of conscious-
ness w hose doors can be opened or closed depending on
one's intention and experience. W hen these doors are
open, one has the freedom to act w ith clear conscious
aw arenss in the present m om ent, as opposed to w hen
they are closed and one is chained to reaction from the
repetitive program m ing of the past.
These Eyes function on a non-physical level to provide
a broad range of tools that build a com plete and intim ate
relationship w ith the w orld around us. Each one of the
Seven Journeys provides a unique pathw ay that clears the

hen the author first began
teaching and practicing using
herbs, it seem ed m ost people took
them just as a substitution for
W estern m edical drugs but w ith the
sam e sym ptom atic reference fram e:
herbs w ere view ed according to their chem ical con-
stituents and effect on the body. Thus m any took herbs
and recovered for a w hile, but their illness w ould m anifest
in another fashion. N othing w as really changing, especially
not consciousness. In searching pathw ays beyond sym pto-
m atic treatm ent to source-level treatm ent, M ontgom ery
found a w ay of w orking that shifts consciousness so that
true healing could take place. This required looking
beyond the physical properties of the plant to see if heal-
ing could occur at deeper levels. W hat the author learned
over w as that plants are vastly intelligent, m ultidim ensional
beings w ith trem endous capacity for healing at a source
level. W orking w ith their w hole beings, not just their
chem ical constituents, is w hat can effect true healing. The
tinctures, teas, essential oils, and other useful parts are
one aspect of plants that can affect physical healing, but it
is their entire, uniquely com plex, and true nature that w ill
access healing for the heart, soul, and spirit of people.
The first part of this book is the theoretical basis for
plant spirit healing, exploring spiritual ecology, the essential
nature of plants, the triple spiral path, and spirit healing.
The second part is the practical application, w hich
describes the dream tim e of plants, building relationships
w ith plants, healing self, others, and planet w ith plant spir-
its, building personal pow er, and the therapeutic use of
plant spirits. The third part recounts stories from the plant
allies artem isia, tulsi, hypericum , calendula, trillium ,
