Japanese Acupuncture: Introductory Musings From The Classics

Japanese Acupuncture: Introductory Musings From The Classics

Many students of Oriental Medicine begin their studies with a somewhat hazy relationship with the origins of the subject. It is often much later, when they begin to feel something is missing, that they at last begin to dig in and find the roots of this method that is at once therapy, art, and philosophy. In this book, you will be taken to the classical roots of this art to consider the foundational concepts and ideas afresh. Edward Obaidey is perhaps the perfect guide on this path dotted with what you may feel are familiar concepts, and language. He has an uncanny knack and light touch of opening up a perspective or idea long taken for granted and asking the reader to think anew. Edward provides just enough detail and information to kindle fresh interest and connections in the mind of the reader, without smothering this precious state of curiosity and creative spark. This is the hallmark of a good teacher, attested to by the many apprentices, students, readers and seminar attendees that Edward has enlightened and educated over the years. The essence that comes through in this text is an important reminder of the sense of perspective that, whilst so fundamental to the study and practice of Oriental Medicine, is often sadly lacking or lost in detail.
