BUY THE BOOK

JULY 2019 • Paperback • 240pp • $55.00 • 9781848194120 Tui Na can be used as much more than a musculoskeletal therapy, but in order to use it to its full potential as a medical intervention, it is essential to understand its uses on the Sinew channel system as opposed to the other channel systems commonly used within acupuncture.

Tui Na requires an understanding of the principles and pathways of the Sinew channels as a standalone system of the body, as well as its relationship to the other channel and organ systems, and this book provides an accessible introduction to these channels before moving onto Tui Na practice.

This book describes in detail the effects and ongoing impacts of trauma on the body and mind and provides the “missing piece” in the treatment of these stubborn conditions that every practitioner confronts. Heart Shock refers to the systemic impact that emotional and/or physical trauma has on one’s physiology and psychology, interfering with one’s ability to heal, and also directly attributable to a host of progressive pathology. Synthesizing the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen and the Shen-Hammer lineage and focusing heavily on psychology, Ross Rosen addresses how to identify, diagnose, and treat Heart Shock from multiple perspectives, providing a multi-faceted approach to treatment, including all the acupuncture channel systems, herbal medicine and the use of essential oils.

BUY THE BOOK

Thomas Richardson with William Morris Paperback • 200pp • $29.95 • 9781848194199 Exploring the relationship between the eight extraordinary vessels, and the zangfu and extraordinary organs, this ground-breaking book provides a new way of looking at the deep connection between the flow of qi through the primary channels, the placement of the confluent points of the extraordinary vessels along the primary channel system, and Daoist conceptions of the evolution of consciousness.

Thomas Richardson is a Licensed Acupuncturist as well as a scholar and teacher of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. He completed a Master of Theological Studies at Harvard Divinity School, where he researched relationships between Buddhism, Daoism, and Chinese medicine, and has been in clinical practice since 2010.

Visit Thomas Richardson’s website

The author points to direct relationships between the primary channels, the extraordinary channels, and the zangfu and extraordinary organs which demonstrate a deep, underlying, and continuous connection between the individual and their environment, a continuous connection to Heaven above and Earth below, and, perhaps most importantly, an underlying drive of the channel systems to continually, experientially bring us back to the transcendent unity that we are always a part of, the natural state.

THE SPARK IN THE MACHINE How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine

BUY THE BOOK

Dr. Daniel Keown MBChB MCEM LicAc Paperback • 304pp • $19.95 • 9781848191969 Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new finger tips, but adult humans can’t regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know, that western medicine ignores?

Dr. Daniel Keown has worked as a registered doctor since graduating with a medical degree from Manchester University in 1998. In 2008, he completed a degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture from Kingston University, and he has studied alongside the renowned Dr. Wang Ju-Yi at the Institute of Channel Diagnosis in Beijing. He lives and practises in Tunbridge Wells, UK.

Dan Keown’s highly accessible, witty, and original book shows how western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine, and how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that western medicine largely ignores. He explains the generative force of embryology, how the hearts of two people in love (or in scientific terms “quantum entanglement”) truly beat as one, how a cheating heart is also an ill heart (which is why men are twice as likely to die of a sudden heart attack with their mistress than with their wife), how neural crest cells determine our lifespan, and why Proust’s madeleines evoked the memories they did.

Damo Mitchell

Damo Mitchell has been immersed within the Internal Arts of Asia since the age of four. He has made it his life work to fully integrate the ancient methods of the Daoists and Buddhists into his being.

Damo Mitchell has studied the martial arts since the age of four. Initially training with his family (also long term martial artists), he then branched out to study with masters of the eastern arts all across the world.

Dedicating his life to his studies, Damo has traveled to China, Taiwan, South East Asia (Thailand was his home-base for a number of years) and various parts of Europe to meet and learn from the most accomplished of internal arts adepts.

Damo’s training has expanded over the years from pure martial arts practice into deep immersion in various systems of meditation, Nei Gong practice and Chinese medical studies. In this way, Damo has approached the path of inner development according to the classical concept of following the “threefold path” of combative arts, medical practice and spiritual development.
