Description: Hardcover: 805 pagesPublisher: Spirit Path Press; 1st edition (2006)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0966991613ISBN-13: 978-0966991611Product Dimensions: 10.1 x 7.3 x 2.4 inchesShipping Weight: 3.6 poundsMain DescriptionThis work explicates how to achieve the core value system at the heart of Nourishing Destiny in clinical practice. All treatment paradigms are fully elaborated to allow immediate integration into the clinic. I cover in detail the points on the 12 main channels cross referencing every character in every main and alternate point name to Weiger's etymological text and to Mathews' Chinese-English dictionary. I also fully elaborate the Worsley five-element tradition with a fresh perspective for the twenty first century. A chapter on Clearing Blocks with Chinese Herbs contains a beautifully written piece by Thea Elijah on treating possession, exit/entry blocks, and clearing the sensory orifices with herbal medicine. A 60 page chapter discusses the in depth use of the five element points on each channel with an eye toward engendering the integral consciousness that lies at the heart of Chinese medicine. In conclusion I examine the four thousand year history of Chinese Medicine from the perspective of Spiral Dynamics, a model that yields deep insight into the evolution of consciousness. I examine where Chinese medicine has been, where it is, and where it needs to go if it is to fulfill its potential as a leading edge wholistic/integral medicine." from the forward: "Lonny Jarrett has written another book in his unmistakable style. This work must be read as the autobiography of a master practitioner who shows us his roots, his growth process, and the amalgamation of Chinese medicine with everything he is, thinks, and knows--all in the spirit of inspiring the same." - Heiner Fruehauf, Chair, Dept of Classical Chinese Medicine, NCNM This is a highly individualistic work written by a healer whose practice resonates with heart and spirit of his teachers and his art. In Part I Jarrett focuses on treatment paradigms that can provide a first therapeutic step to lay the groundwork for subsequent constitutional and ongoing treatment. In Part II he presents different categories of acupuncture points and their clinical impliations. In Part III he considers treatment planning and how to prioritize the material presented in the context of clinical practice, with his guidelines on how to offer therapeutic suggestions effectively and the importance of metaphor as medicine in restoring conscious awareness. Jarrett examines the nature of acupuncture point function as an evolving inquiry. In part IV, he discusses the inner nature of all the acupunture points on the 12 main channels as well as his rationale for combinng points . In Part V Jarrett addresses the cognitive styles in the practice of Chinese medicine, creating a context for understanding the types of consciousness that have impacted the practice of Chinese medicine throughout its history up to the present.
