Framed within the context of the modern, everyday world, this book takes a refreshing, anecdotal stroll through the healing principles of Chinese medicine, looking at key acupoints for each week of the year.The author journeys through the seasons of the Five Elements and within them the physical, emotional and spiritual associations of key acupoints, exploring their names, functions, and intensely practical healing use in the real world. The acupoints range from the point that can help with your sense of smell, through to the Fire points that can help with a good sense of humour
"Five Stars" according to Anne Devine. Excellent Acupressure information.. Five Elements The information in this book is great. I just expected more of an organized layout for the 52 weeks of acupressure. I've learned a lot but just expected it to be organized in a way that gives you weekly information or layout was different. Otherwise very powerful stuff that actually works. I've been feeling amazing doing the techniques!!!! I actually do the techniques morning and night. Thanks to the author if you read this!!!!. jenny forsyth said A beautifully written and illustrated book. A beautifully written and illustrated book, easy to follow, clear, deep and poetic .Each day I can't wait to read more, reflect and play with different combinations of points. I highly recommend it.
