Poetry Of The Body: Stories About Acupuncture Points

How did the ancients figure out where the acupuncture points were and what they did? It could have been trial and error, but that seems unlikely given the intricacies of the names of each point. The oldest known form of healing, which dates back forty to one hundred thousand years, is shamanism. Perhaps the ancient Asians who gave us acupuncture were also shamans? Perhaps they asked the spirits of the points to reveal themselves and share their secrets. In this book, author Deanna Stennett does just that. She asks the spirits of the points to come forward and speak, taking readers on a ride into the human body to meet the points. In addition, she offers stories and accounts of friends and patients who remind her of each point. If you are looking for a technical manual about acupuncture, there are many out there. If you want to explore the spirits who live in you and help you every day to be more present and healthy, join Deanna as she guides you down the rabbit hole of healing, blending the ancient traditions of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and shamanism.
