David Twicken's Eight Extraordinary Channels is a superb text for acupuncturists, meditators and qigong practitioners who want to better understand and practically explore this complex subject. I've known David for 15 years since he was my professor in acupuncture college and have always enjoyed his exceptional talent for communicating complex ideas without over simplification. This book is valuable for beginners who are looking for a cogent introduction and experienced people looking to layer their knowledge with new perspectives. There is also a companion CEU course for professional acupuncturists.
Practical and worthy of consideration in 8-extraordinary study. Not a "heady" book like some on this subject, just a user friendly break down on topic. There were chapters that seemed appropriate for another topic, perhaps another book, but then again inner mediation may be inseparable from the study of the Eight Extraordinary. In this book you have the opportunity to treat inwardly through meditation practices as well as point treatments on the surface. A bonus to some readers, would think.............
Another great text book on Chinese Medicine. This book on the Eight Extraordinary Channels is an easy way to get a great deal of information. There are multiple tables and figures for quick and in depth study. I can immediately apply knowledge from this book to my practice. Thank you Mr. Twicken Mark H.
The book by Dr. David Twicken is a well researched book on the Eight Special Meridians and includes his own experience. It is a valuable. well written book for anyone studying this field. I am happy I purchased it because it clarifies what I have learned.
I chose this rating because, although I find the book to be a very clear framework, I would like to have seen sections on profound case histories.I would recommend it to acupuncture students and practitioners
The Extra Meridians are a topic that many acupuncture schools barely cover in-depth. If you're interested in learning more, or you do acupuncture - medical qigong - bodywork and you have this gnawing feeling that there's something really important about these extraordinary meridians and you're compelled to find out more, definitely read this book! Excellent information from a Taoist perspective that provides a depth of understanding that will open up a new world to explore with confidence and creativity.
Lucid explanation to both.novice and knowledge in acupuncture. A must for any successful acupuncturist without which the treatment protocol is incomplete
This is the best, all-in-one place overview of the Strange Flows or Miracle Channels that I have been looking for in the past decade.
