The Luo Collaterals: A Handbook for Clinical Practice and Treating Emotions
and the Shen and The Six Healing Sounds is the fourth in a series of books
on Chinese medicine and the Taoist arts. The luo collaterals are part of
the channel system presented in the Han dynasty classics, the Su Wen
and the Ling Shu. These collaterals play an important role in the clinical
applications of acupuncture. This book includes a journey along the path
left by the ancient practitioners of Chinese medicine and Taoist healing.
Understanding the origins of the channel system is essential in evaluating
and applying modern interpretations and clinical applications. Our journey
ranges from the Han dynasty to the twenty-first century; main changes
about the luo collaterals are identified and evaluated. This book includes
a detailed history of the window of the sky points and a Taoist and Chinese
medical understanding of emotions, the five shen and the Shen; this
information is the basis for clinical practice. This book also includes a
comprehensive presentation of the six healing sounds of qi gong and how
they treat emotions, and the five shen.
