Chinese Auricular Acupuncture provides students and practitioners
with a clear, concise, and user-friendly manual on ear acupuncture.
It reduces the need for memorization by presenting a method of ear
acupuncture that is in keeping with the underpinnings of
traditional Chinese medicine. The book can be independently studied
and easily used to treat various diseases. It covers ear modalities
such as needles, press tacks, seeds and incorporates actual cases
from clinical practice to illustrate the clinical applicability of
specific modalities and ear acupuncture points. A section on ear
diagnosis allows you to supplement your assessment of the pulse,
tongue, and hara, thus improving your ability to differentiate the
functional basis of imbalance and illness. This edition includes
five new chapters on the multiple use of auricular points,
prescriptionology practice, common ear questions, new research, and
ethical issues. It contains detailed tables and photographs that
aid understanding and includes an extensive and updated
bibliography. The greatest strength of this book is its user
friendliness, which allows both the beginning student and the
experienced practitioner to successfully apply auricular medicine
in the treatment of their patients in a caring, relatively
noninvasive, and effective manner.
Synopsis: Designed primarily for the layperson, The Catholic
Imagination is a journey through the liturgical year by way of
weekly reflections on the life of the church. Through reading,
thinking, and discussion, the religious imagination is stimulated
and structured so the reader can reflect and act upon the richness
of our faith to enter into a relationship with God. Reflections on
the lives of the saints, their writings, their meaning for our
times, the importance and value of creation and the natural world,
the significance of the sacraments, sacramental devotions, and the
timelessness of the gospel message encourage the reader to
coordinate their actions with the weekly topic. Ideas on the
church's artistic environment and related Scripture enhance the
written materials. Special supplements are provided for Advent and
Christmas, Lent and Easter, due to their importance in the life of
the church. Just as we repeat the themes of the liturgical year
over and over again, simple little lessons and readings like this
go a long way in the continuing education of the lay Catholic with
their straightforward message and inspirational writing style that
capture the faith. Author Biography: Skya Abbate is a sociologist,
Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and graduate student in the Master of
Pastoral Studies Program at Loyola University, New Orleans, where
she majors in Christian Spirituality and Ecological Theology. She
is actively involved in her parish, the Cathedral Basilica of St.
Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she serves as a
long-standing member in multiple ministries.
Written by an experienced acupuncturist and educator, this advanced
textbook provides strategies which support the foundational energy
of a person, including their qi, blood, yin, yang and essence. The
book takes an integrative approach, providing insightful
recommendations relating to diagnosis and the construction of
treatment plans. It shows how needling strategies are connected to
rules of point selection, the point classification system, and
nourishing the foundational energies of patients. Techniques such
as bloodletting, gua sha and the eight extraordinary meridians are
covered, and the book is supported by clear illustrations, chapter
summary charts and template patient handouts. Ideal for use as a
practical manual for practitioners of acupuncture, it is also
useful as a student textbook.
