“The Divergent Channels have fascinated acupuncturists for generations, but the medical classics offer little information beyond simple pathway descriptions and the admonition that they are important to know. In this text David Twicken, an experienced practitioner of both Chinese medicine and Taoist (Daoist) inner alchemy, offers readers both a working clinical model of Divergent Channels and a window into his own deep exploration of these topics.

Lineage holder Master Zhongxian Wu shares the previously secret knowledge of how each movement in the practice relates to the meridians, for advanced students and practitioners of Qigong. “This highly accessible text not only provides coherent instructions in the practice of tiger qigong, it also expounds concepts that are fundamental to qigong and the philosophy that it is rooted in. The book is therefore relevant not only for practitioners of qigong, but also acupuncturists, fengshui specialists and anyone with an interest in ancient Chinese wisdom.” – Nigel Ching, author of The Fundamentals of Acupuncture and The Art and Practice of Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

Presenting traditional medicines of Middle Asia from the Ayurveda and Siddha medicines, to the Unani and Sufi healing practices. Dr. Marc S. Micozzi unfolds the compelling idea that vital energy, “prana” in the Indian practice of Ayurveda, is the unifying concept that underpins all of the traditional medicines of Middle Asia. He also draws parallels to mainstream Western medicine, and demonstrates how these therapies fit within the context of their own cultures and ours.
