Nourishing Destiny: The Inner Tradition of Chinese Medicine – Lonny S. Jarrett
This book is genuinely eye-opening. It is an advanced text focusing on five-phase acupuncture models. It discusses various phase types, and also utilizes case studies to clarify his perspective. It is highly psycho-emotionally oriented, and therefore useful to add to the more standard library of acupuncturists.
Lonny Jarrett is one of the few authors who provides a complete analysis of the five elements that can be applied to everyday practice. His approach provided extra information needed to better treat an energy imbalance, rather than symptoms alone. The way Lonny combines the things we learn, the way we interpret the world, and the make-up we bring to it, was practical and applicable. If more books like Lonny's come to print, I believe Western Chinese Medicine will really have come of age.
There are other books out there, but few that have an easy to read format for both students and patients. This is a must read for anyone who desires to learn and understand Five Element Chinese Acupuncture. Lonny is great to hear in lecture but much better in his writing style.
The Medical I Ching: Oracle of the Healer Within – Miki Shima
I firmly believe that this volume is the first of its kind in the West and will further the understanding of this ancient book of wisdom. I have no problem in recommending Dr. Shima's work on the I Ching to anyone interested in practicing medicine, Western or Oriental.
For the first time in English, Dr. Miki Shima has synthesized the age old wisdom of the I Ching and the vast body of Chinese Medicine. I strongly recommend this exciting, original work.
As a professional practitioner of Chinese medicine, I and my many patients have found this book invaluable for helping to clarify otherwise hazy situations. The I Ching needs to be interpreted no matter what use it is put to. So you have to contemplate the hexagrams and moving lines from several points of view: trigrams, yin and yang lines, map of the body, image, and commentary. For me, this book provides a new and different starting place to think about my patients' problems. It is not a simple cook book for "looking up" precise medical diagnoses and what to do for them.
The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles ((Hardcover)) – Bruce H. Lipton
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.
About the Author
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized authority in bridging science and spirit and a leading voice in new biology. A cell biologist by training, he taught Cell Biology at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine, and later performed pioneering studies at Stanford University’s School of Medicine. He has been a guest speaker on dozens of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national conferences.
Medical Chi Kung Exercise Prescriptions (Paperback) – Suzanne Friedman
Medical Chi Kung is one of the four main branches of Chinese medicine, and it is the energetic foundation upon which the others (acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage) are based. Medical Chi Kung and tai chi exercises are becoming more popular, but there are few books that discuss how they can be used to help address specific disorders. This book is the first medical Chi Kung book that does not simply introduce a set of exercises that are a part of a general Chi Kung routine. Rather, the exercises provided are those prescribed to patients at Chi Kung hospitals in China. Medical Chi Kung doctors and Chinese medicine hospitals have used these exercises for hundreds of years and yet they are relatively unknown in this country. The first half of the book introduces medical Chi Kung theory from a modern Western scientific perspective as well as from the traditional Daoist and Chinese medicine perspectives, so that the reader will understand why and how medical Chi Kung exercises work. The second half is practical exercises for self-healing. The book introduces guidelines for selecting appropriate exercises, and then the exercises themselves. There are general tonification (strengthening), purgation (sedating), and regulation exercises for health maintenance, followed by sections on specific organ and health disorders. This book targets health care practitioners as well as "patients," meaning anyone interested in taking an active role in the healing process.
The Yijing Medical Chi Kung System (Hardcover) – Suzanne Friedman
Yijing (I-Ching) theory is the foundation of Daoism and Chinese medicine, and this book explores the deep roots that they both share. Daoism and Chinese medicine both view the human body as a microcosm of the universe around us; what is happening outside affects us inside. Medical Chi Kung is based on the premise that we can energetically affect something outside based on our intention inside. Much of medical Chi Kung, one of the main branches of Chinese medicine, originates from the practices of Daoist shamanic healers. This book introduces a Chinese medicine healing system based on the principles of the Yijing that serve as the foundation of medical Chi Kung and Daoist spiritual practices. The Yijing Medical Chi Kung System is a compilation of self-healing exercises and qi emission therapeutic treatment techniques based on Daoist medical Chi Kung and Yijing theories. This system's approach is unique in that it focuses on the meanings of the trigrams rather than the hexagrams of the Yijing. The eight trigrams are used in innovative ways for healing the body, mind, and spirit. The Yijing Medical Chi Kung System is based on the premise that the Yijing theory that infuses Chinese medicine and Daoism is just as relevant today for healing and spiritual guidance it was three thousand years ago.
